You shouldn’t have time to complain about life being hard. You should be busy getting physically stronger, mentally sharper, financially in a better place, building relationships with loyal friends who have your back, taking smart risks and investing in your future freedom.
How to Improve Financially When It Feels Like You've Tried Everything
Many people feel stuck financially, convinced they've exhausted all options—school, job applications, even going door-to-door in search of work. When nothing seems to work, it's easy to believe that no one values your skills or what you can offer. But often, the biggest barrier isn't the lack of opportunities; it's a negative outlook and a pessimistic view of oneself and the world.
Before blaming external factors, reflect inwardly: Are you holding onto negativity and desperation? I've been there, and this mindset never worked. What did work was maintaining a positive attitude, having hope in myself, and committing to self-improvement.
Focus on Self-Improvement
Wellness: Exercise to combat stress and negativity caused by financial pressure. Meditation helps clear pessimistic thoughts, revives gratitude which creates space for resilience.
Learning: Read to uplift your spirit and develop skills that open new doors, even if they start small.
Networking: Reach out, start conversations, ask questions, and offer support. Rejection is part of the process, but each connection brings new chances.
I once spent months applying to companies in distant cities, only to discover through a chance conversation that a company just 10 minutes away was hiring over 100 participants—and they needed someone like me. Had I been too afraid to speak to a stranger, I would have missed that chance entirely.
Rise Above Desperation
"If you find yourself filled with the anger and desperation of smothering poverty, you have to rise above it to communicate your hope. You have to reach inside yourself and find your sense of self-worth and your belief that you can and will do better. Then you have to reach out and communicate that belief." — Kent Nerburn, Simple Truths
Financial struggles can be overwhelming, but the key is to keep believing in yourself and taking action. Focus on what you can control: your mindset, skills, and interactions. With positivity and relentless effort, you'll be better positioned to seize opportunities that arise.
