  7. Take control of finances (small daily improvements)

    • Save/invest a small percentage consistently
    • Follow the principle: spend less than you earn, invest the rest

    • Write down one thing you’re grateful for each day (start small)
    • Gratitude should coexist with reality (not pretending everything is perfect)
    • Let it influence behavior: become more generous, patient, compassionate
