改变“I’m Too Poor to Travel” Mindset – Say Yes to Travel

最近更新时间：03/16/20 | 2020年3月16日

“Your advice is great if you are middle-class, your parents give you money, 要么 you’re from the West. 您r website could never work for me. I’m too poor to 双色球杀号公式. This advice is only for privileged people.”

After over 10 years of 双色球杀号公式ing the world， 一世’ve heard this a lot.

Every 双色球杀号公式 naysayer believes their situation is special. That no one else has ever gone through their struggle.

And it’s not just 双色球杀号公式.

我们都为无法做自己想做的事情找借口。

“健身房太远了。”

“I don’在活动中不认识任何人，所以我’ll just stay home.”

“我可能不够高，不能打篮球。”

我们相信，我们永远都不会实现我们渴望实现的伟大目标，因为我们缺乏 实现这一目标的一个秘密要素.

When it comes to 双色球杀号公式, 人们认为阻碍他们前进的是金钱. They imagine they 能够’t 双色球杀号公式 because, unlike me, they 能够’轻按爸爸妈妈银行，他们的债务负担或’既幸运又特别。

这里’s the truth: I’m not special.

我也有债务。我父母没有’t pay for my 双色球杀号公式s — I saved up and paid for them myself.

当然，我在美国出生时是白人男性，因此不可避免地涉及一些特权。

但是，通过自动将自己置于“I 能够’t position”，您将不接受任何建议’与那个世界观交织在一起，因此错过了所有的方式 能够 双色球杀号公式.

People with this 心态 remind me of 像鲍勃那样的愤世嫉俗者. A few years ago, Bob dismissed the advice on my website because he didn’t believe I could 双色球杀号公式 the world without parental help.

通过相信其他人都是特殊，独特或富有的人，他们建立了心理障碍，让他们忽略了所有原因 为什么 双色球杀号公式 is possible.

Nothing about their circumstance prevents them from 双色球杀号公式ing except their own 心态.

Millions of people from all walks of life, circumstances, and age groups find a way to 双色球杀号公式. When I started 双色球杀号公式ing at the age of 25, 我相信d I was doing 一些thing challenging and unique.

Then, when I got on the road and saw 18-year-old English kids, grandparents, and folks of all ages embarking on similar adventures, I realized I wasn’t as special as I thought. That realization helped me learn 双色球杀号公式 was a lot easier and more attainable than I thought because if they could make it happen, anyone could do it.

我知道有 一些 monetary requirement to 双色球杀号公式. 那里’s a limit to how cheap it 能够 be and 您可以赚多少个免费航班.

那里 are always circumstances such as health, visa issues, debts, 要么 family that will keep 一些one from the road. Not 大家 能够 (or wants) to 双色球杀号公式 the world.

毕竟，无论如何， 双色球杀号公式 is still a privilege.

But, in my experience, what keeps the vast majority of people home is not money but 心态.

It is the false belief that their circumstances are different and 大家 else who 双色球杀号公式s has money 要么 privilege they don’t. They have bought into the belief that 双色球杀号公式ing is a luxury and unless you’re on the inside, you’ll never be able to make it happen. Everyone and everything else that tells them otherwise is dismissed as “too easy” 要么 “too good to be true.”

But let me tell 大家 who believes the “I’m too poor/unspecial, etc. to 双色球杀号公式” 心态: 您’re not.

If you truly desire to 双色球杀号公式, you will find a way. For 一些, it will take more effort and time (maybe years), but you 能够 do it. 您 might only be able to save a little a month.

但是比赛很长，没有终点线。每天都尽力而为。

If you wake up today and tell yourself, “I’m too poor to 双色球杀号公式” 要么 “I can’t because of reason X,” you’ll never look for ways to start 双色球杀号公式ing. 您 will only see roadblocks. 您 see only the reasons 为什么 you 能够’t 双色球杀号公式 — bills, flights, car payments, debt, family, 要么 more.

您’永远不会凝视那些障碍，并问自己：“我如何像其他人一样克服这些障碍？”

The only difference between those on the road and those not on it is that those on it kept saying “yes” to 双色球杀号公式 instead of “I 能够’t.”

所以，相反，今天起床说“Yes, 我可以 双色球杀号公式 too” and start looking for what you 可以做 right now to make that happen.

问你自己“What is one thing 我可以 do today to get closer to my dream trip?”

从小开始。

每个“是”都建立在前一个之上。 看一下您的日常支出。如果您购买了Brita而不是每天喝一瓶水，放弃了星巴克，自己煮了更多的食物，或者少喝了多少，您将节省多少？

什么 if you gave up cable? Downgraded your phone plan? Walked to work? Sold off your unneeded stuff on eBay?

寻找成为本地导游或Uber司机的方法来增加收入，或者 在Airbnb上租用您的备用房间或沙发.

成为保姆.

开始收集飞行常客里程.

在海外找工作.

Starting small gives you small victories that help you to slowly realize you 可以做 it. The more wins you have, the more you keep going.

当我计划第一次双色球杀号公式时，我先煮多一点，少喝点。

然后我放弃了看电影。然后我卖掉了我的东西，找到了一个室友。然后，我找到了共享汽车以节省汽油的方法。

Each step built on top of the last, and I got more confident in my ability. I woke up each morning I said to myself, “I 可以做 this.”

Once I started saying yes, I created a positive feedback loop that kept 双色球杀号公式 my focus and always within reach. After years of doing this, I only see opportunity.

我最近看过 习惯的力量，相信改变习惯的力量。

不相信可能发生的事情的人永远不会改变他们的习惯。他们会节食，尝试清醒或多运动，但那永远不会起作用。但是，一旦他们相信自己可以改变，一旦发现自己成为支持他们的社区的一部分，那便是思想上的改变发生了，新的思维方式接管了。

I’ve met people on the road who 双色球杀号公式ed after earning minimum wage. They accomplished it because they woke up every day and asked themselves “What 能够 I do today that gets me one step closer to being on the road?” It’s easy to say “Well, I make $9.75 an hour and have a kid,” but 迈克尔从事最低工资工作，并找到了一种方法.

The lower your income, the longer it will take to save enough to 双色球杀号公式, but longer does not mean never.

If you don’t believe you 能够 双色球杀号公式, you never will.

您 just need to change the 心态 that keeps you from your goals and start looking for ways, no matter how small, to begin living your 双色球杀号公式 dreams.

“I’m too poor to 双色球杀号公式” is a belief that causes many to lack the confidence to believe 双色球杀号公式 is possible. They buy into the media hype that it’s all too good to be true. It’s easy to think we 双色球杀号公式ers are special and that my advice doesn’t apply to you.

但是我用自己的方式： 我在海外工作 to keep my trip going, my parents have never helped me, and I still have student loan debt. I didn’t know anything when I started to 双色球杀号公式. I had to figure it out along the way.

来自该站点的数十名读者也是如此，尽管遇到了许多障碍，他们也找到了解决之道。

Not 大家 is going to be able to 双色球杀号公式, and I understand that. I’m not talking about those with circumstances like poor health, those with sick parents, 要么 massive credit card debt. I’m talking about the middle majority. I’ve met people from all walks of life on the road and know that 双色球杀号公式 is not just for the rich, 适合所有人.

If you want to 双色球杀号公式 more, believe you 能够.

我从经验中知道’不必很贵.

Stop saying no and begin to see all the ways you 能够 make your 双色球杀号公式 dreams come true!

编辑’s Note: I’我收到了一些我想解决的反馈。一世’我不是说你闭上眼睛说“I believe”您会神奇地在遥远的土地上找到自己。它没有’t work that way. 那里 are many valid reasons 为什么 people 能够 never go 双色球杀号公式ing, no matter how much they “believe.” This 文章 is about trying to get people to change a 心态 that keeps many from even trying to find a way to 双色球杀号公式. Many people, even if they 能够 go 双色球杀号公式, don’甚至不要尝试，这篇文章旨在促使人们至少尝试一下。
