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.
Let’s start our journey by discussing wealth. What exactly is wealth? Is it material possessions? Is it money? Is it family, friends or love? Is it balance? The definition of true wealth is as unique as each individual. It’s relative. But the bottom line is that wealth is not just financial security.
Simply, wealth is:
Whatever excites and lights the heart. Your 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.
Unfortunately most individuals don’t know how to develop a “wealth consciousness.” Why? Because we’ve been raised in a society that lives by a set of standards to which most conform without ever giving it any conscious thought. Take for example the idea that if you study hard, make good grades and get a college education you will get a good job with benefits with a big company and have a secure and stable future. Now stop a minute and think about that. Is this really the best course of action? Especially in today’s society. Did Bill Gates, Donald Trump or Robert Kiyosaki find wealth this way? What about Henry Ford, you know Ford Motors, Ford had a 6th grade education! Bill Gates dropped out of college, and while Trump and Kiyosaki have college degrees, but they didn’t earn their fortunes starting out at the bottom of some big corporation and working their way up the “corporate ladder”! Rather the prosperity of these individuals is rooted in faith and the power of conscious, focused, intense thought.
As you are running out the door into the congestion of rush hour traffic to arrive on time for your 8 hours of effort, have you ever considered who is getting the benefit of your time? Is it you or the boss? The owners? The shareholders? How did that happen? When you were a kid did you dream of punching a clock 8 hours or more a day, week after week, month after month? Or did you dream of being a famous astronaut, singer, actor or athlete? Your dreams fade slowly over time and then you find yourself stuck in a rut and you just get by because that’s the way life is. Really? Broaden your mind and breathe life back into your dreams! Your wealth is out there waiting for you. Step forward in faith, harness your thoughts and control your destiny.
Did you know that it is expected that 97% of the population will either be dead or dead broke by the age of 65? The percentage still kicking at age 65 will have to either continue working until they no longer can or rely on friends, family or the government in order to just get by in life. Again ask yourself why…
Ask any successful person and they will tell you that the key to their success is 90% mental and 10% action. Wow, really? Thoughts are things, and very powerful things when mixed with the right ingredients to create the life filled with purpose, passion, joy, peace, love, freedom and prosperity. Faith and thoughts are the keystone to creating a life by your own design! Some people will dismiss this concept falsely believing they already know that or that it is a bunch of hoopla. There is one way to know if someone really knows these principles, are they wealthy?
The wealthy understand the power of faith and conscious thought. They are completely devoted to their faith and practice focusing their mindset everyday!
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 wealthy consistently strive for prosperity. How to obtain wealth and prosperity isn’t taught in traditional homes, traditional education system or by society. That’s what separates the wealthy from the “poor”. It’s just a little bit of something that makes all the difference in the world.
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.”
Whoa, that’s scary. Remember money alone is not wealth or prosperity. However, having money sure can held with the down payment! Imagine what you would do if money were not an issue in your life. If you were able to do all the things that you wanted to, wouldn’t you be on your way to true wealth and prosperity?
The starting point for creating a life by your design is to have complete faith and commit to embark on your journey today, right where you stand. No ifs, ands or buts. If you are truly committed to living a life of prosperity, then you must change and in order to change you must take action. Take the steps necessary to learn how to magnetically attract wealth and prosperity to you.
Did you know that 87% of the population is unwilling to invest in their most valuable asset? 87%! What is your most valuable asset? It’s you. No matter what happens, an investment in yourself can never lose value or be repossessed or foreclosed! If you spread all the money in the world out evenly, where do you think that money would be in 20 years? It would be right back in the hands of the wealthy. Why? Because they recognize the power of learning and growing themselves, and since that can’t be taken away, they would simply start all over again with complete faith.
Step up to the plate and begin to change your life today. Living a life of prosperity is within your reach, go for it! Until next time, ask yourself Who Am I?
