We are unaware of what our true desires are and what do we ULTIMATELY want in life. Yes, that’s true.
You don’t want cars, luxurious lifestyle, good friendships, less stress (you do want them but they are narrow versions).
Even I was unaware a few days back. But after noticing them I changed how I was looking at my freedom mission.
Sometimes we see life and our goals with a zoomed in lens. But if we look at it from top, we can easily see what our true desires in life are…
In this blog post I will share with you three things that you ULTIMATELY want in life, but since you are looking with a narrow mindset, you are unaware of them.
To not have any financial concerns
The first thing you need is financial independence i.e. you don’t want to be concerned about money at all. You don’t want to overthink about finances.
Which means if you want a suit you get it without second thought, if you want a car you can get it, if you want investment you can invest anywhere you want. Yes, these dreams need money but with money you want to have no overthinking on buying a new car, or whatever..
What does financial concern mean?
When you overthink about your spendings, and worry about lack of funds, that’s when you are financially concerned. It can cause stress and affect an individual’s overall well-being, leading to a lack of sleep, decreased concentration, and even depression.
Anddd, that what you don’t want in life. You want to be totally financially free.
What’s the benefit of financial freedom?
I am sure you can list a lot of benefits. Because we all know its importance. But here are few (again then zoomed out version of benefits).
More Time and Flexibility: Financial freedom means having enough income and assets to support your lifestyle without having to work a traditional 9-to-5 job. This gives you more time and flexibility to do the things you love, such as traveling, spending time with family, or pursuing a passion.
Less Stress and Anxiety: When you’re financially free, you no longer have to worry about making ends meet or paying bills. This can significantly reduce stress and anxiety in your life, freeing up mental and emotional space for more enjoyable pursuits.
Increased Opportunities: Financial freedom opens up a world of opportunities that might otherwise be unavailable. You can take chances on new business ventures, invest in real estate, or start a nonprofit. The options are endless, and you’ll be free to pursue them without worrying about financial constraints.
Improved Quality of Life: With financial freedom, you’ll have more money to spend on experiences and things that bring you joy and improve your quality of life. This can include things like dining out, traveling, and buying luxury items.
A Sense of Control and Independence: Perhaps most importantly, financial freedom gives you a sense of control and independence over your life. You’ll no longer be at the mercy of a boss or employer, and you’ll be able to make decisions based on your own values and priorities.
3 Steps to financial freedom
Decide your budget: The first step to achieving financial freedom is to develop a budget. This will help you to understand your monthly expenses and determine how much money you need to make in order to cover them.
When developing a budget, it’s important to prioritize your expenses and to make sure that you’re living within your means.
Find an Income Source: The next step is to find an income source. This can be a job, a side hustle, or starting a business. The goal is to find a way to earn money that fits with your skills, interests, and lifestyle. You may need to get creative, but with some persistence, you will find a way to generate an income.
Start Investing as early as possible: You need to invest your earnings in better assets. They can be markets or education. When you have income you open doors to learn better resources so keep in mind to invest in keep learning.
This will help you to grow your wealth over time and put you on the path to financial freedom.
So, yes that’s first thing that you truly want in life but your vision isn’t clear.

Wake up in morning and be excited
Second is Waking up in the morning with excitement is something we don’t give much focus to. Yes you want this, you can agree it now…Generation is struggling and doing things they don’t love or don’t find excitement in them.
At this point, I understood how valuable waking with excitement is. After all, we have to spend an 80 yr life span (hopefully) on earth. And I don’t want to wake up the rest of life feeling furious or saying “OHH NO!! MONDAY AGAIN!!”
If you aren’t waking up with excitement you are off track.
When we think about the things we truly want in life, it’s not just about having material possessions or a big bank account, but more about feeling fulfilled and happy.
Surround with Productive and Uplifting People
And last, You want to surround yourself with people who support you, appreciate you, love you, admire you, uplift you, and don’t suck your energy.
Good relationships, communication techniques, how to find partners, etc. things are a narrowed version of it.
To balance your relationship area of life you want to be around optimistic people, people who don’t make you feel insecure. Though that’s one sided..But that’s what YOU really want. Just surrounded by good people.
Why is being surrounded by positive people important?
Positive people bring energy, happiness, and motivation into our lives. They encourage us to pursue our goals and dreams and help us to overcome challenges. Positive people also help to lift our moods, boost our self-esteem, and provide us with a sense of belonging and community.
Being surrounded by positive people can have a huge impact on our overall well-being and happiness, so it is important to make sure we surround ourselves with people who bring positivity into our lives.
Of Course you don’t want to be around toxic people.
How to stay around positive people?
Staying around positive people can be a challenge, but it’s worth it for the positive impact they can have on your life. One way to do this is to seek out positive people in your existing social circles and actively cultivate relationships with them.
Another option is to pursue new interests or hobbies that bring you in contact with like-minded, positive individuals.
One thing I personally noticed is that when we see good in people we automatically become positive.
Surrounding yourself with positive media, such as books, podcasts, or movies, can help maintain a positive outlook even when you’re not directly interacting with others.
The key is to make a conscious effort to surround yourself with positivity, and the rewards will follow.
Conclusion
We have to understand that we should begin with a wide perspective and when we have a clear wider vision, then we must narrow to dig deeper.
We discussed three broad (ultimate) things that we want in life.
To not have financial concerns, we can dig deep by understanding financial anxiety, about financial freedom then dig deep about how to be financially free…so on.
Wake up in morning with excitement, a narrow version of it might be, practicing your fav thing first in morning, your job might make you excited, it might be a cold shower….you get it!! If your mornings are dull, you need a change.
Surrounding with Productive and Uplifting People, again you don’t primarily need to focus on deeper topics like how to communicate, how to make friends, about relationship books, etc.
You ultimately want to be around people who uplift you, that’s it..
Have a great day💫, think broad, practice narrow.
