💸The Mindset That Boosted My Income by 536% in Under 2 Years 💸
If you're reading this, you probably want more money. In this post, I'll share the mindset that has allowed me to go from broke to partially financially free and has enabled me to travel to five countries so far this year. 🌍✈️ Back in the summer of 2022, I was preparing my bags to fly back to my home country, Lebanon, after four years of not seeing my parents and family members. I also had a long-distance relationship with the woman of my life for two years. With everything packed, I took a train to North Germany and then boarded a plane, filled with anxiety, fears, and expectations. ✈️😰 Sitting on the plane, I thought about all the possibilities, everything that could happen. I was excited to see people and family members I hadn't seen in a while. When I arrived at the airport, my mom and brother were waiting for me. The emotions were overwhelming; for the first time in a while, I felt intense fear. I looked at my brother and saw he was full of fear too. He had grown up. I left him when he was 10, and now he was 14 and big. He's a man now. Outside the airport, my dad was waiting in his car, a BMW X5 he bought back in 2014. When he stepped out, I noticed he was wearing glasses, his beard was whiter, and he had gotten thinner. The emotions I felt in those 15 seconds were more intense than anything I had experienced in the past two years. I hugged him, and we got into the car. My mom insisted I sit in the front. 🚗❤️ As we drove, I looked around and saw empty streets and no ads on the highway, which was unusual. My brother was in the back, staring at me in disbelief. Amidst all these emotions—smiles, shock, fear, and weirdness—my father asked his typical question: "What do you want to eat, guys?" I suggested "Abu ARAB," a 200-year-old breakfast/brunch restaurant chain known for its special crispy bread filled with cheese and some kind of meat. It's just so tasty. 😋 We had an amazing breakfast at around 6 am and then headed south. When we arrived home, I was shocked by how old the building looked. That first night, I couldn't sleep. I cried from the pain of seeing the people I love living in such conditions. I took this pain as further motivation, knowing it would give me the energy to beat every single challenge out there. 💪
