I’m off work this week and I’m living the lifestyle of a financially independent blogger.

I’ve been spending all my time writing, answering comments, commenting on other blogs, and sharing content on social media.

In short, I’m spending the week exactly how I’ll spend every single day once I reach financial independence.

The downside is that this week is only a small fraction of time.

It doesn’t offer the full feeling of freedom the way my mini-retirement did.

Unless I reach FI faster than expected, I won’t be free until most people my age are being mouthed off to by their teenagers…

However, I have a Clear Vision.

A clear vision that helps me understand my definite purpose.

Every morning I look through the window for a reminder of why the sacrifices are worthwhile.

As the mantra of this blog suggests, I’m in pursuit of Financial Independence through dividend investing. It’s a worthwhile pursuit to me.

Blogging is therapeutic for me because it acts as a venting system to release thoughts and ideas.

After a writing session, I’m better equipped to move forward onto the next worthy challenge.

On the dividend investing side, I enjoy analyzing brands and businesses, and I’m enamoured by the progress orientated nature of building a dividend income business.

[the clear vision] My Transcendent Window Towards Financial Independence

I’ve written about some of the negative reasons for wanting to reach financial independence before, but I haven’t written enough about the positives for my quest.

The primary reason I aspire to become a financially independent blogger is because I enjoy the work.

The dream is not to reach FI, the dream is to switch the work.

Over the past few days, I’ve written new blog posts. I’ve responded to comments and e-mails. And I’ve put in work on marketing and social media.

To put it bluntly, it’s been a mother fucking blast!

Now that the weeks half over, I keep wishing that this lifestyle would become permanent.

I mean the learning and engagement from the online community is uplifting. Staying at home in my pyjamas is convenient and comfortable. The flexibility to adjust my schedule as I please is beneficial to my health. Having more time to allocate capital is fantastic. The quietness and time to think has been a blessing.

This is my vision and it has become so vivid that it has to happen.

In fact, the sheer awareness of it makes the sacrifices seem like nothing.

Conclusion

I wrote this post to point out the importance of having a specific purpose and ultimate goal.

Knowing your chief aim is the ultimate power.

It’s like having a mentor to support every decision you make, and it’s like having a pillar to fall back on whenever you feel inadequate.

In conclusion, it’s of extreme importance to have an accurate vision of what you want to achieve.

In turn, you’ll gain a motivational launching point, an ability to make sacrifices, and you’ll obtain the ability to endure.

When I look through the transcendent window, I see a financially independent blogger and dividend investor.

By taking the time to reflect and look within yourself, you can obtain a transcendent window of your own.

Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes. – Carl Jung

Questions for the readers: Do you believe it’s important to have a clear vision? Have you mapped out your day to day life once you reach FI?
