Financial freedom, what does it really mean? this is a question that might get different answers with the focal definition being having money to take care of financial needs, not having to depend on paychecks, affordable healthcare, being able to retire and not look up to government for grants becoming a nuisance to the state and everyone around. Basically financial freedom is cashflow, it is giving the rat race an exit...
I have a strong doubt there is anyone out there not wanting financial freedom. Perhaps the ones that believe money is the root of all evil, the next time I hear that I will handout $100 to see if it will be accepted or not. I see that notion as an excuse for failing to achieve financial freedom. Deep down we all want financial freedom which bring me to the question how is financial freedom attained?
It took me over thirty years on this planet to come to the realization paychecks will never get me anywhere near financial freedom, the believe was to get a good job with good paycheck and I am on my bike to financial freedom, guess what? I was wrong big time! Thanks to Robert Kiyosaki for his Rich Dad Poor Dad book which I think is a must read for everyone.
So I had to have myself reconfigured, multiple source of income has to be the norm, so when I got on to Hive, I saw a platform I can tap into and begin to work towards exiting the rat race. Personally there's nothing as annoying as the rat race.
A rat race is an endless, self-defeating, or pointless pursuit. The phrase equates humans to rats attempting to earn a reward such as cheese, in vain. It may also refer to a competitive struggle to get ahead financially or routinely.

I am certain most of us can relate to the above definition of a rat race, that rush to work in the mornings and back home in the evenings, the seating in traffic all became a normal, a routine.
The last five years has seen my norm altered, I now have a norm that keeps me prioritizing multiple source of incomes. There's no definitive formula to attaining financial freedom like you would with your algebra but some habit needs conforming.
The opportunities on Hive are so vast, spending time on the chain and tapping into the likes of Splinterlands, Leofinance, DeFi on Polycub, Cubfinance, SPK Network, etc have become the norm for me. This normality have been proving to work as I diversify onto investment opportunities on the chain.
Yesterday @r1s2g3 shared Splinterland's : Earned assets worth more than 1 BTC. that is something to think about and pull some motivation off it, most wants to own Bitcoin, being in a state of one's Splinterlands asset worth more than the current Bitcoin price $33,445.87 is promising we are up to something great here.
What are you normalizing? As for me I choose to have myself engrossed on Hive as much as possible.
