First, find shelter. It is impossible to build if you don’t survive each day. Warmth, sustenance, and protection from the elements aren’t negotiable. To still financial waves, there is groundwork that needs doing first. If you are spending more than you are earning regularly, you are bleeding. Stem the flow. If you are being knocked back to the start irregularly but reliably, you need to find refuge. Living aggressively within your means may feel like a lack of ambition. It is the opposite. There is way more to learn from people with less than us, than from people with more. More is the distraction. We can only see the conspicuous. We can’t see other people’s storms. We can’t see other people’s foundations. Shelter is normally internal and subtle. The ability to breathe slowly, smoothly, and at length. Then with time, and constraint, you can build each day, on the day that came before, for the day that comes tomorrow. With strength, flexibility, and control.
