@vfsglobalcare I have made multiple attempts to contact about my visa application including posting here on x, sending dms as requested by you and still no real response or progress from your side.
It’s been more than two weeks and we are running out of time. What else can we do

@vfsglobalcare Hi @vfsglobalcare, I DM'd all the details yesterday morning, as requested. I haven't heard back on the DM yet. Requesting an urgent response to finalize. #BookVAYD

Hi @VFSGlobalCare, I submitted a request for the Premium Visa At Your Doorstep service for France to my home in Nagpur 4 days ago, but I haven't been contacted. Requesting an urgent callback to finalize. #BookVAYD

@artofallowance Love the analogy of the energy flow.

The heaviest things in life aren’t iron and gold, but “unmade” decisions.

The reason you’re stressed is that you have decisions to make, but you’re not making them.

“Anyone who tells you to pursue your passion is already rich.” - Unknown

There are some jobs and businesses that make more money than others.

The one that makes significantly more money might be number 2 on your list.

Take the number two choice, earn, save, invest.

Once you’re financially free, go back to choice number one.

If you use money, don’t make an excuse that it’s not important. Money isn’t everything but it does give you a lot of options in life.

Passions are critical to mental well being, but so is living above the poverty line.

@artofallowance Yes application is everything, but at times it’s easy to know that and hard to execute. The questions I laid out help understand what’s the real block to applying the knowledge.

You read a book a week.

You make your bed everyday.

You journal.

You got a great morning routine.

But..

Life isn’t going anywhere.
Money isn’t filling up accounts.
The body isn’t building.

All these are signs that you’re distracted.

All these are signs that you’re not doing the work that leads to progress.

Find out why-
Are you afraid of rejection?
Lacking self-confidence?
Do you have a scarcity mindset around big ideas?

There are four levels of wealth builders:

Level three: They live in the moment and spend more than they earn. They don’t care about the future. Their net worths are usually in the negative.

Level two: They save the bare minimum and invest about 10% of their earnings which enables them to retire anywhere between 65 to 80 years old

Level one: These guys save 70 to 90% of their income. If they are higher income earners, they will retire in their 30s or early 40s.

Level Zero: This group of people not only saves a high percentage of their income, but also more valuable resources like muscle mass, VO2 max strength, agility, and mobility so when they have their millions of dollars, they are alive and well to enjoy it all.

What level are you working for?

@Just_Sanjay_U I already do. But it doesn’t feel as fulfilling as making an impact in a person’s life directly.
This post is about finding your passion after FI.

Dave Ramsay is a popular financial coach, and whether you agree with his teachings or not, anyone who is able to complete his baby steps all the way to step 7 means that they’re doing well in life.

I’m way beyond baby step 7 and I struggled with the problem of losing purpose once I reached financial independence.

Money was a huge motivator to make me work hard, and once that motivation went away, I realized that I had to forget all the life rules I was ever taught and come up with my own.

My solution- raise others in need by helping them level up their income, investments and savings.

Money that takes you beyond poverty can create safety and happiness.

But after you achieve financial freedom, fulfillment and autonomy take place of money to maintain the joy of life.

If you had $86,400 and someone stole $10 from that stash, would you throw the rest of it away?

No, of course not!

So if someone annoyed you for 10 seconds of the day, would you throw the rest of your day way?

P.S.- we have 86,400 seconds in a day.

I don’t mind looking poor.

I’d rather keep the money in my investment account, growing than use it to try and impress people I don’t even like.

Most people driving fancy cars have a net worth so low, they can’t retire in a hundred years.

Looking rich today, but when they struggle to make ends meet at seventy, the cat will be out of the bag.
