Reasons to be an investor

There many positive reasons to be a investor. Financial freedom and physical health are two them. Why physical health? We’ll get into that. Just know that we’ll be listing the reasons and the explanation why.

Physical Health

The first reason to be an investor ought to be physical health.

Have you ever accidently hurt yourself in a part of your body where there is a pain nerve? The pain was so intense that you did not want to move or speak.

Your awareness was laser focus on that moment and you just wanted the pain to go away?

Like when you hurt a toe, or when you have a suddenly intense shin splint, that pain you have in the large bone in the front of your lower leg.

How about an agonizing tooth pain? how about a headache so painful that you think your brain is going to explode?

My point is that physical health out to be your first priority.

You don’t need to wait for someone to tell you that. You most likely already experience intense physical pain.

When you are in physical pain almost nothing else matter.

Therefore,

Aiming and maintaining your physical health is crucial for your well being and your quality of life.

You going to need physical energy in order to do the activities that needs to be done. Whether does activities is to increase your physical energy capability so you can do more.

or it is to have the physical energy that you need to be an investor.

If you are going to be in investor, any type of investment require time and energy from you.

Example:

If you currently have a 9-5 job, that’s a least 8 hours of the day that you used for something else other than investing.

As you go through the day your energy deplete. After your finish with your 9-5 job, do you think you are going to have the energy and will to work on investing as an investor after you are so tired?

Why not watch some entertainment instead? It’s easier and less energy consuming, many people go the entertainment route instead.

The brain supposedly use around 20 to 25 % of the body energy when it’s in a resting state. Imagine if you starting investing, you’ll use more than that.

Now, there is school of thoughts that think that the mind is a function of the body and another school of thoughts that think that the body is a function of the mind.

So, we will not going to discuss the mind.

Whatever you thoughts are, we do have a physical body and that body require energy, the body needs to be in a state of well being in order for your awareness to be able to focus on something else like investing.

Therefore, a portion of your daily time should be invest into maintaining and improving your Health.

Financial freedom

Financial freedom ought to be your second reason to be an investor.

The world that we live in, require us to coexist, to interact with other humans. They have something you want and you have something they want. So we trade.

What do we use to trade? Money or currency or assets.

Financial freedom is when the income that your assets generate is so large that it allow you to use a portion of that income to live your desire lifestyle and the other portion is use to increase your wealth even more.

Basically, you work because you want to, not because you have.

Becoming an investor allow you to reach the financial freedom goal. In order to be an investor you need to learn how to manager your money.
