FI-iku Haiku

A post on a Monday? It's like waffled french toast- different, but just as good!

 

So apparently today is a very special day.  It is FI-iku Day aka Financial Independence Haiku Day!

 

Now, I just learned about this special occasion this morning while reading the brilliant work of My Son's Father.

 

I thought to myself. I like poetry.  I used to write it all the time in high school.  I can so do this.

 

That was at 9:27am this morning.

 

Then life happened.

 

I got home from work, wrote reports, scheduled clients, chatted with my employee, responded to emails and phone calls, you get the picture.  Even though I wanted to do a FIi-iku, I convinced myself I just didn't have time.

 

Enter Guy On Fire's timely post about limiting beliefs. It's now 8:26pm 9:19pm 9:47pm and here I am getting it done. Thanks GOF, you're words have already inspired a change in my mindset.

 

Hope you enjoy the short post today! And shout out to Crispy Doc for spearheading this whole thing!!

 

 

A unique mindset
Valuing time and freedom
Breaking the cycle

 

Optimization
Hustle, hack, invest. Repeat
Down the rabbit hole

 

And one I wrote previously for MSF's 10 Questions:

 

FI life is the best
To do what one wants, no buts
Waffles are good too
