Advancing Feels Unnatural

I grew up
dirt poor
and have advanced
over my lifespan
through the different income classes.

The middle class
have a different financial skill set
than the poor.
The wealthy
have a different financial skill set
than the middle class.

It is unsettling
to discard
the financial rules of the poor
to embrace
the financial rules of the middle class.

I KNEW how to rent
a two bedroom apartment,
for example.
I was good at that.
It worked for me,
gave me shelter.

I had to learn
how to buy a house
and when I first started
learning,
I sucked great big hairy donkey balls
at it.

I went from being competent
to being incompetent
and that was scary.

But it was needed
to progress,
to get to the next level.

“If there are people
who are playing
at a different level
than you
who are embracing
an approach
that feels unnatural
to you,
you may have found
the technique
that you’ve been missing.”

Advancing feels unnatural.
Expect to feel uneasy
during the process.
