The simple truth towards financial abundance is that there are many areas of our lives where we don't necessarily have to like the steps we need to take to reach our goals; we just have to take action and just do them. The first area that comes to my mind is exercising our body. There are many times where I don't feel like working out, usually because I am just plain tired, lazy or more commonly, I don't want to have to change clothes, get all sweaty, shower. In those moments, I just don't like exercising but in my heart, I know I will reach those end results of better health and lower weight, so I just force myself to do it anyway.
Similarly, there may be some kind of reasons why financial education is not very appealing in your life right now. Let's face it; learning the subject of risk management strategies for your portfolio or how the economy affects the value of your investments is just not that easy, but gaining an awareness of a few areas such as this will enormously increase your financial empowerment. This holds true whether or not you use a financial advisor, because, as a financial savy person, you are at least involved with choosing and monitoring that advisor or making your investment choices.
The bottom line here is that in order for you to reach your financial goals, you don't have to love the steps, you just have to do them and this includes getting your own financial education. It is just like exercise, diet, organization, pap smears and mammograms, we don't have to like them to get that end result we want, we just get going and do them.
During the learning curve, you will find many areas of financial education which are engaging and interesting, sometimes we just have to embrace those that aren't as enticing to reach financial empowerment, which is an end result that we all want.
As what Napoleon Hill say, "All great achievements and all earthly riches Have their beginnings in an idea or a dream.".
Keep in your mind that dreaming in its proactive sense is about persistant hard work. If you really wish to create or grow your wealth, you must work hard at your skill to dream. Without that mental picture of how much wealth you wish to accumulate, you cannot create wealth.
