Get out of Debt by Going with Your Heart

So many times, people explain their will or life mission in terms of their career and ability to get out of debt and attain wealth. If you want to get out of debt, you need to think in terms of what is really important to you.

Your job is only your vehicle to achieve what you truly want out of life. Some people make their whole career out of something they love. Other people might go to work knowing they're doing a good job and making enough money to go and surf the ocean when they get home. Different strokes for different folks, I suppose.

Don't let your career define you; you should be the one defining your career. The key to getting out of debt doesn't mean that you go wherever the money takes you. You could get a job as a dog catcher that pays better than selling a life-changing product that you really believe in. Let's use acai as an example.

Okay, so the job working for the pound is depressing. You put people's pets to sleep if they don't get them within a specified amount of time. You feel stressed, depressed, and angry. Your pay is $40,000. You'll not only get out of debt, but you'll be able to go out a few nights a week.

You also have an offer from your friend to distribute and sell acai products. This is the latest health craze, and it's a real gamble. Everyone wants in on the game. But acai is something you really believe in. Every day, you would go to your mom's house when she was battling cancer and make her an acai shake.

You can't say for sure that this cured her, but you think it's highly probable. You love this product, and you could see really making some money if you put in the time. If it's successful, you'll get out of debt. You'll be able to buy that new house, and your family will have more time with you.

Which one would you choose? My friend chose the acai. After this, his path just kept moving towards his life mission. He was able to get out of debt. He found himself spending more time with his mom. He was able to educate people on a healthier lifestyle. He chose the path of what he really wanted to do. The logistics worked themselves out.

Most people would tell you that was the stupidest mistake in the world if they met him beforehand. These are your negative thinkers. Don't fall into the trap of "you should," "I can't," "they never," and "you don't." This is all negative thinking, and only brings more negativity into your life.

When you focus on your weaknesses, in the end, you'll find that you have spent a life on improving your weaknesses. Try to focus on the things you do well. To get out of debt, you don't need a lot of money. With a positive frame of mind, the rest of your life will be filled with strength, joy, and results.
