WHAT IS YOUR FINANCIAL DESTINY?
When you have the answer to this you will begin to develop an attitude… a way of thinking that will prepare you for mastering the art of inspiration. Everything is mental… almost everything anyway.
Your financial destiny… what is it? Have you decided? Hope you’ve heard this saying:
I bargained with Life for a penny,
And Life would pay no more,
However I begged at evening,
When I counted my scanty store.
For Life is a Just Employer,
He gives you what you ask,
But once you have set the wages,
Why, you must bear the task.
I worked foe a menial’s hire,
Only to learn, dismayed,
That any wage I had asked of Life,
Life would have willingly paid.
Great stuff… what have you decided or ask life for? I pray you start asking life for ‘ABUNDANCE’ definitely he will give it to you.
We are not born with a financial destiny implanted in us… we decide… we make the decision to be rich or poor. YOU…
If you decide you want to just get by in life… chances are you will.
If you decide you aren’t cut out for making a lot of money & it’s only reserved for those with smarts… you won’t make a lot of money.
You decide!
Right now… After you read the following paragraph stop reading for about 3 minutes and think.
I want you to think about what you are bargaining for… what have you asked ‘life’ for. Ask yourself if it is enough. Look at your life now and think about your future. Everything your heart desires… is that what you have set out to do? Or have you settled for mediocrity…?
Stop now and think about that… even jot down on a piece of paper your thoughts so you can reference them later.
What did you learn about yourself? Are you challenging yourself enough? Are you forgetting about the obstacles to get there and deciding what you want based on your dreams?
The road may not be easy… but remember:
Peter Marshall words: When we long for life without difficulties, remind us that oaks grow strong in contrary winds and diamonds are made under pressure…
Pressure is not a bad thing… stress can reap great things… challenges make us stronger and obstacles are the building blocks that will shape our success in the end.
Some day years from now you will look back at your life. At that time, if you ask yourself, “Am I satisfied with the road I took; could I have done more?” how will you answer that?
Remember, the pain is temporary, the results are forever
TRANSFORMING YOUR MIND TO ABUNDANCE
When hearing the word ‘TRANSFORM’ it irritate you, don’t worry you will appreciate it when you finish reading this. Optimistically you are grasping these significant building blocks. Without them motivation collapse.
We all came from different surroundings. Some struggle in life… other have everything handed to. Some came from a loving and supportive family; some are in a continuous state of fighting and live in negative environments… No matter what your past history is… no matter the environment you live in now… You have been given the ability by GOD to transform and renew your mindset. …be ye transformed by the re-newing of your mind- Holy Bible.
You were born human. Human’s have the ability to self-direct. And it’s as easy to direct our minds negatively as positively.
BUT it takes a shift of thinking. You need to STOP!! Step back and make a decision. If you are down… decide to concentrate on getting up. If your environment is mostly negative, concentrate on only the little bit of positive… They can take your body, but they can’t take your spirit and mind!!
Right down your goals… right down who you want to be. Repeat to yourself everyday your desires. Remind yourself everyday that you are special and that your environment doesn’t decide who you are… not your past… not your present. It’s between you and God. That’s it! Everything around you is temporary. It doesn’t have to be permanent. Life and death are in the power of tongue… live abundance life by the words of your mouth.
I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE THINKING!! That’s easy for you to say! You don’t understand my situation.
You are OK. You got it together and have a supportive environment. Good… No matter what your situation though, applying the things outline here will help you… it will. As Zig Zigler once said: Positive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking will.
THE 5 POINTS TO PONDER
Well my friend… We’ve touched on a few above. Let’s go deeper…
1. Decisions…
Yes! That is the first secret. You must decide to be motivated. Don’t look around you… it’s not a physical revelation.
It’s not in a book or website… it’s not at a seminar. It’s not contained in an audio or visual presentation.
It’s in your mindset.
Affirm this, “I will let myself be motivated”. It does take some effort… it means tuning out the distractions. It means planning to work and working the plan. You have to decide it’s time to put down your doubts and fears… you have to decide to give up some things. Motivation is dependent on the decision to let yourself be motivated. That’s the first secret. Motivation Starts with a Decision to Let Yourself Be Motivated
2. “Acting as If”… you’ve already attained it. Notice a lot of this is mental… it has nothing to do with your physical surroundings or the company you keep. “Acting as if” is a powerful effort. When aiming to live the life of abundance you need to act as though are already living in it. And it will come to pass.
Be confident and sure about your direction. AND visualize that you have already achieved it… and act as if you have... If you are poor… if you are beaten down… if life has given you a raw deal.
You ARE NOT going to be affective picking yourself back up if you remain in that state. Take care of yourself… Create the person you want to be.
Act like the person you want to be. Don’t complain to people about your problems. Work on your problems. Attack them knowing they are only temporary… be confident in the end result by acting as if it is inevitable. Act as if you have already accomplished that result. Comb your hair. Carry your head high. Help others… Forget about your problems. Concentrate on lifting others up. In doing this, you can forget about your troubles. Do business like you know what you are doing… maybe you don’t! Maybe you are unsure of yourself.
Stop! It’s OK if you are a Newbie, but loose the newbie mindset. Don’t keep repeating it to yourself… You know something? It’s just questions… even the experts have questions. Concentrate on the building blocks. Don’t worry about not understanding how they all fit together; in time you’ll understand. In the meantime…
Act As If… The Rest You Will Find Out.
Act like you have already achieved and watch what happens… Alliances emerge… Joint Ventures emerge… become the person people want to know. People don’t want to hang around people that are in the dumps. Success has siblings, friends.
Become an abundance magnet by acting like one! …You don’t have to have lots of money to live abundance life. Again… it’s a state of mind. Abundance comes to those who are abundance conscious.
3. Plan…
Have a Plan! You got a decision… now you need to plan the journey! It doesn’t have to be complex. Take an hour… jot down some notes. But have at least a pretty good idea of what it will take…Maybe part of that plan includes continuing education. You don’t have to know everything to find motivation and to forge ahead!
A person with a plan is a person that can make decisions that will help them achieve the goals they have set quicker and easier. If you don’t have a plan, how do you know what decisions to make along the way?
Put Together A Plan so that Motivation Will Have a Map to Follow…
Success is not a matter of chance; it is a matter of choice. Start planning now…
4. Visualize
See yourself achieving the prize…
See yourself walking down that path…
Visualize yourself as who you want to be…
It all ties in together. Your mental mindset must believe in what you are doing. You can’t move forward unless your mind sees the road.
Visualization… Make a list… make an outline… make some notes.
Review them often. See yourself taking on the different stages to get where you want to go. Think about it…
If you do this enough… everyday, your mind will take control of those thoughts…
You will find yourself soaring in abundance…
You will find yourself driving your car thinking about your future…
You will find yourself in the shower solving problems…
You will find your mind wondering while doing the dishes…
The habit comes. In the beginning you have to build visualization into your routine, but eventually it will become your nature.
It should become your passion… A strong desire that develops out of a focused and deliberate effort to visualize your path. Visualize and Provide a Clear Picture for Motivation to Embrace…
5. Action Combined with Faith
You now know what you need mentally. This might actually surprise you…
Action… Combined with faith? This involves forgetting everything I have told you up until now… Yes… you must work on all those things if you are going to stay motivated and make a better life for yourself and to achieve your hearts desires… BUT… NONE of it will just happen.
You must act. It’s that simple… Action will provides you with motivation; it’s not the other way around. You don’t get motivated to act, you act and get motivated. Holy Bible- Faith without work is dead.
Just act.
Everything in this column involves ACTION…
You must act in order to decide…
You must act to plan…
All of it… everything we do must first have action. Start filtering out the environment you are in and start visualizing the environment you will possess! An environment where ALL your desire will be met (Abundance Environment)
You are NOT a product of our environment. Remember that…

HERE IS THE SECRET OF ALL TRUE WEALTH
When Schopenhauer said “We seldom think of what we have but always of what we lack.” It shows the position of man toward nature. There are two words that I will unleash their secret to you. This words if used everyday are so powerful that your life can be changed radically, practically overnight as nature will begin to pour out abundance resources to you.
A lot of people have used these two secret words and have gone on to amass great wealth for themselves. What are these two secret words? I’ll tell you that in a second. Before I spill my guts to you, I want you to know something first. In order for you to get what you want or more of what you want out of life, you must be willing to humble yourself and agree to do what those who have become successful before you did and said. Every single one of those who were successful in life knew these two magic words and practiced saying them, either out loud, or in secret. But they made it a ritual to say these words everyday.
Watch the people in the world who have followed in the footsteps of those who stated these two words and you will find they too knew what it took to become successful. They were not afraid to say the two secret words every single time they had a chance to do so. So what are the two secret words already? Hold on to your hats because I am about to unleash the secret to you, what those two secret words are and when I tell you, you will be amazed beyond what words will be able to say. You may be held speechless for a few seconds as you gather your thoughts. The two secret words that all the successful people say every day are “THANK YOU” That’s right. They say “thank you” everyday of their existence. Why do they say the two words “thank you”? This is because these two words have a lot of power, especially as far as the Universe is concerned.
You don’t seem to be wealthy if you have twenty million dollars in the bank but spend all of your energy worrying about how to protect it from others, or how to protect yourself from losing it. You are abundantly wealthy when you realize that your daily needs are met, and you take great pleasure in the simple experience of being alive.
In order to attract your goals to you more quickly you must feel as strongly as you are able that your goals are already a reality for you. Act the way you would act if all of your desires were already met. Feel the way you would feel if you had successfully accomplished all of your goals. These emotions set in motion the events necessary for your development. Thank You is the secret emotion for setting in motion the experience of prosperity in your life.
When saying ‘Thank you’ especially to the Universe, you are telling the UNIVERSE I am grateful for ALL what you gave me, also it symbolizes humility, being grateful to the Universe signify that you are not greedy with the blessing of God and the gift of life.
Today, you must allow yourself to feel true gratitude for everything that is positive in your life. Give thanks for your friends and the people you love. Give thanks for the food you eat. Give thanks for your health, your sanity, and your ability to grow and learn. Be grateful for all of the simple little things that you completely take for granted but would sorely miss if they were taken from you.
As well, feel grateful for all of the wealth that you already possess, and feel grateful that you are learning psychological principles that will greatly enhance your ability to attract wealth into your life from now on. If you honestly cannot generate a positive feeling of gratitude, ask yourself this question: What could I feel grateful for if I wanted to? Ask this question and your brain will come up with an answer.
From now on, whenever you spend your money, do it gratefully. Be grateful that you have money to spend, even if you feel poor. Be grateful that you have food to eat. Be grateful that you have a warm bed to sleep in tonight. Gratitude is the single most important step to developing abundance consciousness. Practice feeling gratitude whenever you get the chance. Take fifteen minutes right now and feel the truth of these words: Gratitude is the magic key of ALL true wealth.
Affirm this every day I am thankful to GOD for all of the wealth that I already have, and I am filled with gratitude for my future of prosperous, exciting experiences.
I promise you your life will never be the same!!
