I found some interesting article on attracting wealth. Isn't this what we all wish for?
Magnetically Attract Wealth - Think Prosperity
by Dawna Miller
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.
No matter where you are on this journey, the time to start is today, right where you are. Where you go from here is entirely up to you. Yes, you have the power to magnetically attract wealth and prosperity! This is the first in a series of articles on the power of thought, the secret to prosperity and wealth and living a life that you design. Each article will build on the concepts from the previous, so buckle up and let's go...
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!
Creating wealth and success begins with a consciousness, an awareness of one's self and others. It's a lifestyle and a way of thinking. Wealth is 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.
Have you every asked yourself who exactly you are working for everyday? Who is getting the fruits of your time? Who makes the rules and who has to follow them? The wealthy! Wouldn't you rather be at the top of your game, calling the shot in your life? It is possible to magnetically attract exactly what you want in life. Through faith, commitment and consistency anything is possible. It doesn't take any more time to be successful than it does to live a life of mediocrity punching a clock from 8 to 5. You can radically change your life with just a few minutes a day. Think about it, everyone has 24 hours in a day, the wealthy of this world have exactly the same number of hours in a day. Now there's some food for thought if you think you are just too busy.
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...
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?
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 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 Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki's best seller "Why We Want You To Be Rich" 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."
Not a pretty picture. Now money in and of itself cannot bring true wealth, success, abundance and prosperity, but it sure can help if you have the time to actually enjoy life. If money weren't an issue, what would you do? That's when life begins...no more living pay check to pay check! No more working to make someone else rich.
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.
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!
Begin your journey from ignorance to enlightenment today, your future is coming, are you ready? Prosperity is a choice, one only you can make. Take a few minutes and consider this question, "Who Are You Really"?
