\nInstead, it\u2019s better to think something like \u201cI\u2019m currently earning 200,000 yen a month. Next, I want to be able to earn 300,000 yen<\/strong>.\u201d Recognize that you are already earning money now, and then aim for more.
\nIn the end, how you feel in your subconscious mind greatly influences reality.\u201d<\/p>\n
That\u2019s what he said.<\/p>\n
At the time, I just lightly replied, \u201cI see. Somehow that makes sense<\/strong>,\u201d but recently I happened to read a book that really struck a chord with me, and my husband\u2019s words came back to mind.<\/p>\n What I felt from reading that book was: <\/p>\n Instead of focusing only on what you don\u2019t have, look at what you do have now and cherish those things.<\/p>\n I think I have long been caught up in \u201cwhat I don\u2019t have now<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n If I say so myself, I\u2019ve always had a relatively strong curiosity like \u201cI want to do that!\u201d or \u201cI want to become like this!\u201d and I\u2019ve lived a life full of challenges and taking action.<\/p>\n That personality was definitely a big driving force especially in my work, but on the other hand, no matter what I achieved, I always felt a sense of craving and never really looked at what I already had, always focusing on \u201cI\u2019m still not enough\u201d or \u201cI want to be more like this.\u201d<\/p>\n Because of that, I think I was stuck for a long time in the state my husband described at the beginning.<\/p>\n When I started this blog, I set the goal of \u201cbuying my own Porsche with my own money someday<\/strong>,\u201d but the more I thought \u201cI will buy my own Porsche,\u201d the more the fact \u201cI don\u2019t have my own Porsche now<\/strong>\u201d grew bigger inside me.<\/p>\n But when I really thought about it, last year I bought my very first car, a BMW 320i, so I could learn to drive a manual transmission, yet I completely ignored that fact and kept dragging around the idea that \u201cI still can\u2019t afford a Porsche<\/strong>.\u201d (And I still have payments on the 320i, too.)<\/span><\/p>\n Also, thanks to my husband, I\u2019m fortunate to be able to drive Porsches now, but somewhere in my heart, I often thought, \u201cBut those are all my husband\u2019s Porsches\u2026 not mine\u2026<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n Chasing \u201cwhat I don\u2019t have now<\/strong>\u201d can certainly be a motivation to work hard in your job and life, but if that makes you blind to the precious things right in front of you, your life will never feel truly fulfilled\u2026<\/p>\n Come to think of it, when I first met my husband, of course there was no Porsche yet, and even going to the nearby convenience store or sushi place was by bicycle. I had just started my business then, so I gathered up all the game software and consoles I had at home and sold them at Yodobashi Camera, thinking, \u201cAlright, I got 8,000 yen! I can survive for a week with this!<\/strong>\u201d \u2014 living on the edge.<\/p>\n Now, I can drive a Porsche anytime, and my life revolves around cars wherever I go (also because we moved farther from the station)<\/span>, and I\u2019m in a very fortunate environment in many ways, yet I couldn\u2019t simply be grateful for that\u2014I realize now how twisted my mindset was\u2026<\/p>\n Besides that, I get to spend every day with my child, work from home, and my husband has always told me, \u201cIf you want to work, go ahead; if you want to quit, that\u2019s fine too; do whatever you like<\/strong>,\u201d so since we got married, I\u2019ve been free to live as I please\u2026 etc.<\/p>\n Maybe it\u2019s because I\u2019m pregnant now and my hormones are different, making me quite sensitive, but after reading that book, I really want to become a person who can focus on what they have now, who can truly be grateful, and who can feel happiness and richness in the present<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Regarding the goal of \u201cbuying a Porsche with my own money<\/strong>,\u201d I\u2019m going to try looking at it a little differently. Not just \u201cbuying a Porsche myself,\u201d but considering my current situation.<\/p>\n I want to think like, \u201cI\u2019m now able to earn this much. So next, I\u2019ll aim to earn this much more and first save up a down payment to buy a Porsche<\/strong>,\u201d focusing not on what I can\u2019t do yet, but on the fact that I\u2019m steadily getting closer to my goal.<\/p>\n I laugh at myself sometimes for being such a gloomy personality, asking myself these questions every day, but I hope I can keep stepping up at my own pace, in my own way, one step at a time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Goals and the Subconscious Mind One time, my husband said something like this to me.
