Flow theory. Achieve mindfulness

Apathy (also called impassivity or perfunctoriness) is a state of indifference, or the suppression of emotions such as concern, excitement, motivation and passion. An apathetic individual has an absence of interest or concern to emotional, social, or physical life. They may also exhibit an insensibility or sluggishness.
Boredom is an emotional state experienced during periods lacking activity or when individuals are uninterested in the opportunities surrounding them.
Relaxation occurs during an activity that helps a person to relax
Worry is an emotion in which a person feels anxious or concerned about a real or imagined issue, ranging from personal issues such as health or finances to broader issues such as environmental pollution and social or technological change.
Control : Overlearning is a pedagogical concept according to which newly acquired skills should be practiced well beyond the point of initial mastery, leading to automaticity. Once one has overlearned a task, one's skill level is higher than the challenge level for that task.
Anxiety is considered to be a normal reaction to stress. It may help a person to deal with a difficult situation, for example at work or at school, by prompting one to cope with it. When anxiety becomes excessive, it may fall under the classification of an anxiety disorder.
Arousal is important in regulating consciousness, attention, and information processing. It is crucial for motivating certain behaviours, such as mobility, the pursuit of nutrition, the fight-or-flight response and sexual activity.
Flow is the mental state of operation in which the person is fully immersed in what he or she is doing by a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and success in the process of the activity.

Components of flow

Csíkszentmihályi identifies the following nine factors as accompanying an experience of flow:

1. Clear goals (expectations and rules are discernible and goals are attainable and align appropriately with one's skill set and abilities). Moreover, the challenge level and skill level should both be high.
2. Concentrating, a high degree of concentration on a limited field of attention (a person engaged in the activity will have the opportunity to focus and to delve deeply into it).
3. A loss of the feeling of self-consciousness the merging of action and awareness.
4. Distorted sense of time, one's subjective experience of time is altered.
5. Direct and immediate feedback (successes and failures in the course of the activity are apparent, so that behavior can be adjusted as needed).
6. Balance between ability level and challenge (the activity is neither too easy nor too difficult).
7. A sense of personal control over the situation or activity.
8. The activity is intrinsically rewarding, so there is an effortlessness of action.
9. People become absorbed in their activity, and focus of awareness is narrowed down to the activity itself, action awareness merging.

Flow is also something you want to experience to get your working day go by faster.

Everybody can get rich, so they say.

First, let me remind you of my objective - Being a millionaire at 30.

Evaluating all my asset, I have bought a few stocks 2 years ago, and the crisis struck. Should I also tell you that I borrowed that money?

Left with only 60% of that, a smile is still on my face.

As well I invested some money in some ventures, and also some companies I founded. No return yet, and some were epic fails. However a smile is still on my face. -well it's close to a grin though-.

Happily I get my payroll from Airbus every month and I get paid for a great job. I also get to travel sometimes...

But nothing that gets me to become a millionaire before 30, or so it seems.

I am currently 27 - so what methods are left?

The Latte factor.

David Bach made that method famous. If you spend $5 per day on a cafe latte, you're enjoying every day. But if you invest it on a fund with a 10% return, guess what... You're a millionaire by the time you retire.

That's the easiest way to become a millionaire, so it seems. However, the payoff seems to be available only in the long run.

Win it

Don't count on it. Not gutsy enough to borrow 100 000 dollars go to vegas and put it all on "black".

Marry it, inherit it.

I'll also discard those methods. I don't think any of those would be classy ways to get to be a millionaire. I want to have something to show for it.

Trade hours for dollars, trade ideas for millions.

That's one hell of a method. You get an idea, then you license it to big companies, and wait at home for the royalties to come in. I like this method... but getting the idea is difficult, and achieving real dollar returns is uncredibly hard - at least, the first time.

Millionaire at 30, is not a simple money achievement.

It is a quest for freedom.
