Sometimes the stipends we might earn in the present means that the opportunity we we can get a hold of, becomes a priority. We might even exchange the prospective growth and experience we might accrue in other to secure tiny bread crumbs in profits, all in the name of seeking stability. It's all about fear. Sometimes we fear ground zero so much and why not?
No one deserves to be there, but sometimes our actions become too questionable, it hardly justifies the fear we mostly feel. The truth is that people who are always seeking to secure only today and tomorrow are always pessimistic. But they'll not see it this way. Nevertheless, pessimism is not entirely a bad thing. In some situations, it buys us the safety we need or desires, to keep surviving.
A Losing Game Of Trade
However one thing is that these people lose out on their present position if they bank on the future and they also know that they'll lose out on the future, by safeguarding only today, but they still chose the former anyway. Making it seem like being poor is a bad thing. *I think poverty isn't bad, and this because of how people have been changed and redefined by its impact.
However, I've managed to explain how it limits people rather than challenge or task them to do better, so mental limitations tend to keep people psychologically bound, it takes a lot of time for this mentality to wane or die unless one becomes intentional about it.
Sacrificing Potential For Stability
Now, this isn't 100% bad and this is because a huge percentage of some people's financial personalities are a fragment of their past failures. So if people carry their failures on their minds in every opportunity they chase, they might attain stability, but never realize their financial potential. Some people are okay with stability.
Hell, I need some stability in my life, my health has been hit, romantic life has been uncertain, due to circumstances I couldn't and still cannot control, but then, I might ignore any prospects of futuristic wealth, just to guarantee stability in my life. I don't mind not personally realizing my true potential if I can just be stable, but then this doesn't mean the opportunity cost isn't as crucial as well.
Risk & Its Inevitability
Everyone indeed wants to attain a position of stability, but total or definite stability without undertaking potentially rewarding risks is another example of mental limitation. Another instance is that some people see crypto as risk, so what they do is sell all their assets at the slightest sign of green and abundance, putting it into ventures they deem riskless.
forgetting that inflation, insecurity, and mismanagement happens in real-time too. Let's be factual, it's people who seek stability that often gambles a lot. but they justify this by saying they're seeking more stability, at the end of the day, they're still living in the waters of risk, blinded by the illusion of safety. But then, I wouldn't blame anyone for this.
The Life We Might Choose
This is the knowledge we possess is how we're going make decisions. No one should be mocked for what they choose in life instead, it's important to allow the lessons gotten from some experience to be an adequate teacher.
On the flip side, people can actually break out of mental limitations, it's quite difficult to do so for physical limitations. For example, I've been limited a lot in my life, and sometimes, no matter how psychologically pumped up I am, my mind cannot undue physical aberrations, this has affected my money and financial aspirations.
Most times, I'm grateful for how technology and the internet have created flexibility and opportunities beyond the physical
We're Walking Proof Of growth & development
This means that the idea of total stability is not life-changing. If we were meant to be stable, then life wouldn't present variety, risk is not dangerous, and sometimes our fear of capitulation is what makes us think so. At the end of the day, there's no perfection for anyone, and this is why we end up doing what we deem right for us.
