Disciipline: Lukewarm-Financial Check up


                                           A Financial Check up Have you made an appointment?






Others live on in a careless and lukewarm state - not appearing to fill Longfellow's measure: 'Into each life, some rain must fall.' 
Mary Todd Lincoln 
Hello, Carolyn Coleman –Grady here today I thought to myself are you lukewarm living in a careless state.  I had to truthful answer perhaps in some areas in my life I am.  We all get a little lukewarm and careless.  What is great about recognizing these careless acts are self-reflections, self- examination? It takes discipline to really delve into our own carelessness.  Many people decide to ignore this area.  When we ignore a careless area in our lives the careless behaviors repeat it-self.

In my previous blog, I spoke about the salesman who offered the lawn man a new way of cutting his lawn but he was so ridged in his decision he continued to use the bladed mower which took 5 hours to complete lawn.  The consideration and possibilities of an updated lawn mower was out of the questions.  The careless ridged thoughts of some will prevent progress. Now his decision not to change or upgrade could become a careless decision for example: We all know that over time blades rust.  When blades rust the risk of an injury like cutting your hands while pulling excess grass out of the blade is careless and the long term effect of a cut such as this one could become a problem.  It sounds fairly simple but it happens.

Careless decisions about our finances take place daily, many of us rob Peter to pay Paul constantly struggling to make since out of financial disability.  I call it financial disability because it renders you depended on others for income.  Boring, taking out loans, credit cards ect.  What you do to create financial disabilities could leave you in a suspended state.  The strategies used to disarm your financial wows must be strategic. In a strategic move you disarm the opponent.  You develop a movement that creates a winning outcome.
To win you must play.  If you sit in the same chair the same way you will get up the same way and nothing will change.  It is important to rid your lives of carelessness attitudes, behaviors and perceptions.  Hot or cold lukewarm each has its unwelcome place.
 Nothing diminishes anxiety faster than action.” -Walter Anderson
If you are suspended between hot, cold and lukewarm battle until a balance occurs.

Happy Cinco de Mayo                                               

Cinco de Mayo Spanish for “fifth of May” is a celebration held on May 5.  It is celebrated nationwide in the United States and regionally in Mexico, primarily in the state of Puebla, where the holiday is called El Dia de la Batalla de Puebla (English: The Day of the Battle of Puebla).  The date is observed in the United States as a celebration of Mexican heritage and pride, and to commemorate the cause of freedom and democracy during the first years of the American Civil War.  In the state of Puebla, the date is observed to commemorate the Mexican army’s unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguin.  Contrary to widespread popular belief, Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico’s Independence Day-the most important nation patriotic holiday in Mexico which is actually celebrated on September 16th (www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinco_de-Mayo),

Cinco de Mayo has come to represent a celebration of the contributions that Mexican Americans and all Hispanics have made to America.

Reading about this war on Mexico I discovered it begins with the issue of money and debt.  A debt to be owed to the states unable to pay put Mexico in to battle.  They were destroyed by the USA and it left them in financial distress.   The French wanted payment as well so they thrust forward in to battle with Mexico.  The intent at the time was to divide the USA.  Mexico’s leader sent his troops into battle and sent the French running off the coast.  This was a victory and they celebrate the defeat since 1862.

If you think about it our own personal wars are usually related around debt.   It seems like a never ending battle.  What is so wonderful about this battle, our beliefs that it will come to an end. Implementing strategic planning and taking care of one debt at a time will decrease your debt and point you to freedom.  ”Debt Free,” Isn’t this great news? I sure thank so.  There are many things to celebrate today and it begins with Freedom.

Happy Cinco de Mayo wishing each and every one who celebrates with a purpose to acknowledge the accomplishment of the masses who have contributed to your existence in a special way today just might be the road to a debt free life.
