Wealth is about having a lot of options (@iskafan)

Where do I start from? Oh, I know! I struggled to find something to watch to bring my inspiration into full bloom. I kept skipping movie upon movie until I found one I decided to watch out of desperation.

This happened after I had gone through everywhere looking for something, anything to set the flame blazing. Nothing! Quora? Nothing. Google Feed? Nothing. My books? Nothing. Music? Absolutely nothing. I almost gave up when I decided to Google quotes about wealth and one stood out to me. Here we are! A post?

I am sure I have talked about money helping us with lots of options in the past. I may not have said it directly or so, but, I am very sure, this is something I often like to hammer on. I am a living witness to the options that are available to me for having a small amount of money saved. I watch other people go through this cycle too. They can literally do anything they want with their lives without worrying about how they will sustain themselves until the things they are trying out become successful.

Some people might not have such luxury. They may have to stay hungry a lot of times. They have to say no to instant gratification. They have to say no to a lot of things so they can find their footing.

It doesn't matter if you have some cash lying around or you have to live in survival mode until your dreams take shape, you will agree that learning to invest and build for the future is mostly because there are options in your head that you want to experience.

People do this to make sure their children do not have the same difficulty rising to the top as they did. Others do it to make sure they have enough to travel and experience the world. Some just want to go to bed knowing that if anything happens to them their loved ones will be well taken care of.

Whatever the options you want to explore and experience with your money and accumulated wealth, taking steps to achieve them is the first thing to reaching those goals. Dreams without action are more like building castles in the air. Some people choose the "fake it till you make it" mantra and make sure to live it all up. Some choose frugal lifestyles. Any route you decide to take, you are welcome to do so as long as you are taking real actions not sitting still and waiting for a miracle or jackpot.

The truth is the moment you start with what you have, and where you are, you will see other opportunities opening up to you as you take one step after another.

Tonight, I finally decided to see Dubai Bling. Although I am not yet familiar with their names, I saw this particular lady who decided to chase a new career in acting, while slowly leaving the media space. Everyone who looks at her would think she should be retired and enjoy some of that money she made. But she knew being stuck in one role was disastrous and she needed to move fast and gain knowledge about other industries linked to something she already knew. Even though she would have to learn about them from scratch, perhaps, but, she could make that leap because she was already sitting on a pile of wealth accumulated over the years as a TV Presenter.

That's quite a great example of how wealth gives one options. At that point, she doesn't necessarily have to starve to see this new transition through. She has a buffer to fall back on while she works through it and even if she fails, she does not have anything to worry about. At least, she tried something. And the best part is that if she fails, it's not all going to waste. She can use whatever experience and knowledge she accumulated while trying to make the new career work and build something new. It could even be the one thing that will set her apart from the rest of the people in her industry. It could catapult her to fame if she wants. She could also do whatever she wanted with that success. Everything boils down to options.

It's a great way to see the essence of building wealth - options!!!
