I once asked a client to tell me about their financial situation.
They said:
"Ughβ¦wellβ¦honestlyβ¦it's not greatβ¦there's a ππ°π΅ of debt."
She said it like it was a fact that accurately reported her finances.
I then asked her to tell me what that actually meant.
She said she had $10,000 of debt, spread across three credit cards.
Here's what I want to highlight: this person was reporting "π’ ππ°π΅ π°π§ π₯π¦π£π΅" and "π―π°π΅ π΅π©π’π΅ π¨π³π¦π’π΅" as if it was the news.
ππ¬ π’π π’π π°ππ«π π ππππ.
But it's not.
It's simply a story.
An opinion.
A point of view about the $10,000 of debt.
Mostly, we confound our opinions about reality with the reality itself.
If you're looking to change your financial situation, I encourage you to pull the facts and the stories apart.
Simply ask yourself: what are the facts?
Because it's dealing in reality rather than storyland that's going to give you the power to set goals and to finally change your financial situation.
