The journey to designing a balanced life with passion, peace, freedom, joy, love and prosperity begins when you decide to change the direction of your life. It’s a quest from ignorance to awareness to ultimately enlightenment about yourself and what you want out of life.
This article is the first of many related to the prosperity doctrine. Each subsequent article will build on the previous. The most important step is the one that you make to move forward and commit to yourself to learn and grow. Commit to start today, at this very moment to change yourself and enjoy the fruits of your transformation. No excuses, because there aren’t any. Small improvements consistently applied result in huge changes.
First let’s begin by defining wealth. What is wealth? According to merriam-webster.com, wealth is having an abundance of valuable material possessions or resources. Now we all know what valuable material possessions are, but what about resources? When you think about it wealth really is a relative term. What one person considers valuable another may not. Wealth is personal and so much more than financial security!
Wealth is:
Whatever Excites And Lightens The Heart!
Being truly wealthy and successful in your life is a way of living and thinking. It’s a lifestyle, a state of awareness and consciousness. It’s better defined as prosperity.
It’s interesting that most adults aren’t even aware that they aren’t aware! They really aren’t to blame. We’ve all been raised in an environment that teaches us that if we work hard we will have job security. How’s that one working for you? Where you taught how to have a relationship? How to raise children? We learned these things from the people that we associated with. Now family aside, you can’t change your family, but have you looked at who you hang around with lately? Are they wealthy? Do they know how to create a life of prosperity and abundance? Ever heard that you can learn more in 20 minutes over lunch with a millionaire that you can a year in higher education? Experience in living does count. Faith combined with focused intense thought is a powerful combination, but you have to be willing to take educated risks (going out on faith) and reach out and grab that opportunity when it comes your way.
Ask yourself, who are your working for? Who is getting all the benefits of your labor? Has your education taught you how to manage money, have a healthy relationship, raise children, stay healthy, maintain proper nutrition and most importantly setting goals for YOUR life? Are these things important in life? Is it really possible to magnetically attract wealth and abundance in your life? Quite simply, YES!
An astonishing 97% of the population will either be dead or dead broke by retirement age. Those still breathing will have to depend on friends, the federal government or family for support. And it’s very likely that the friends and family those in this category will not be able to help. That’s extremely unfortunate and completely avoidable. Where are you right now? Are you in the top 3%? Being wealthy beings and ends with you, your beliefs and how you think about yourself.
Success is not luck, it is 90% mental and 10% action. Ask any wealthy person and they will tell you the power thought played creating their wealth. Faith and focused thoughts are truly power things when combined with the right emotional intensity and action. How you view yourself is the keystone to your success. How you view yourself determines how others feel about you. Ever been around a really negative person? How did they make you feel. One bad apple can ruin the whole basket. Well the reverse is true as well. Isn’t it fun to be around people who have faith, a high level of energy, are enthusiastic and self-confident?
By mixing faith, thought and action in the right way you can discover what the wealthy already know.
What’s the definition of insanity? According to Albert Einstein, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results…” Does your life resemble this statement? Maybe it’s time to try something different?
The idea of prosperity and the power of focused intense thought is not something that is taught in traditional school systems, at home or by society. Why? Have you ever seen a wealthy teacher? How can they teach the concepts of obtaining wealth? Teachers are some of the most over worked and under appreciated members of our society, but they still can’t teach you how to obtain wealth. What about your parents, are they wealthy? Or have you consistently heard the statement growing up that “money doesn’t grow on trees”? What about society, well just take a look around.
In the New York times best seller “Why We Want You To Be Rich” by Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki, they said:
“The rich are getting richer but America is getting poorer. The middle class is shrinking. America is becoming a two-class society. Soon you will either be rich or poor.”
That’s more than a bit alarming. Have you heard that money can’t by happiness? That is true, but can it help? Sure! What would your day look like if you had plenty of money? What would you do? Having the time and freedom and money certainly helps to open the door to a life of prosperity and wealth.
In order to magnetically attract prosperity you must have complete faith and commit to begin today, right here and right now. No excuses. If you keep making excuses, your life will simply pass you by. You must change, and change is scary, the unknown always creates fear. In order to let go of the familiar and grow you must let go of the past.
What is the one thing that all wealthy people consistently invest in? They all recognize it as being their greatest asset, one that cannot be taken away and can be used any time they want…THEMSELVES! Most people do not invest in themselves after their formal education ends, wealthy people consistently invest in themselves. If you can’t afford to invest in yourself today, then chances are you couldn’t yesterday, last year or even 10 years ago either…and if this is you, then you really can’t afford not to! The past is gone, the future is what you make it, start building your future today!
Follow the road less traveled and transform your life today! You owe it to yourself to live a life of wealth and prosperity. Look for the second installment soon…it will ask the difficult question, Who ARe You?
