When A LOT of Money Just Isn’t Enough

Once you get over your self-inflicted self-doubt and allow your eyes to open to certain shining facts about how your passions do contain oodles value and how your interests are interests of others as well, you will be capable of empowering your motivation to accomplish most or all of the crazy dreams you dream. And when You finally decide to take action and prove to yourself (and the rest of the world) that you can do it ‘like a rock star’ you will finally get it.
You get that you are worth your dreams.
You get that you are good enough.
You get that the only real limitations are your own thoughts and the process you use them.
Design your life when you’re day dreaming so When you’re back in the ‘real’ world you can take your life’s perfect design and execute it with the passion your life is worth. When ‘the juice is worth the squeeze’ the rewards for hard work can provide a life of abundant riches.
Once you believe your interests are worth pursuing because they are valuable just the way they (and you) are, in a month from now you will remember a month ago that last month, the month you’re about to live, was so much better then what the prior month was.
So you take more action steps than before, because you now know better. You know that your interests are valuable enough to enough people to provide you the means to make your real interests, your way of making your life as successful as those dreams you have when life is perfect, with more abundance then you need. But that’s just what you’re worth.
There are systematic processes that work whenever they are implemented with targeted actions. The real key is locating the system that will work for you to achieve your dreams. Remember this: Systems work, people fail. Working systems always work, like a well maintained car.
With a good car, when you put the key in the ignition and turn it the car starts. When you put it in gear and you starting rolling forward or by pressing the brake you slow down. If this doesn’t happen then it’s because there are components of the system that are missing or malfunctioning. Break anything in the system and it will fail as a whole becoming little more then pile of metals and plastic… no gas, the car wont start, faulty clutch and you can’t control your forward motion, no brake pads or fluid and you will likely roll out of control.
Your life functions the same way.
If you have no ‘gas’, your motivation will be lacking and it will be hard to get your ‘motor’ running to make forward progress.
If you have a bad ‘clutch’, your motivation (engine) will rev up but you will burn all your energy (gas) before you get anywhere.
If you have no ‘brakes’, you’re likely to spin out of control.
If all you have are brakes, you’ll never move forward.
And just like with a car, if you don’t have a destination to get to it’s all meaningless anyway.
Those all are dangers of not working with a complete system. Unfortunately, most people trying to find their perfect path in life too often get caught up with someone else’s partial solution, that may be only good for them. To continue with the car example, if you buy a super cool, ultra fast turbo charger for your car and get it installed perfectly, it’s still useless if you have no gas, dangerous if you have no brakes, or simply expensive if all it does is get you nowhere faster.
Creating your dream life all starts with knowing where you want to go. Have you ever left for vacation with your gassed up car filled with a weeks worth of clothes and food, just to start driving around aimlessly without a destination? the problem is that’s exactly what happens all the time with people trying to make their dream life.
Do you think your life will suddenly be better if you have more money?
Most will say yes. I’ll tell you you’re probably dead wrong. That’s easily the biggest reason why you and so many other well meaning people never realize their dreams.
‘More’ money doesn’t exist — not really anyway.
How much money is ‘more’ money? If that’s all you are asking for then when you find a dime lying on the sidewalk you’ve accomplished your goal. What you really need do is decide what you need and have your EXACT goal and needs in mind.
Money is really nothing more then dirty paper. It’s only a mean to an end. And So I ask you… what’s your destination?
Where do you want to go in life? What are you’re dreams?
Once you have answered that you need to start asking HOW you can find or create the things you need to accomplish the tasks that will take you to your destination. When you’re thinking about this, realize that the word ‘but’ is little more then you applying the brakes to the vehicle driving you to your dream place.
More money could be 10 cents. Millions of dollars isn’t much different because it’s just a idea. If you’ve every tried to start a new business and get money from a bank based on an idea you would know they would just laugh at you (at least on the inside). When the bank does extend money for a new business idea it’s because there is much more then just an idea presented. There is a idea, a plan, several goals and key points, along with and end goal or purpose behind the entire process. It’s not just an idea they present, but an entire system they want to implement. They use REAL and EXACT numbers outline very SPECIFIC intent. Where there is a complete system there is real chance for success.
You NEED to control your life with the same sort of thoroughness if you want to really see the end result of a dream life.
But need to be exact with what you want. A lot a money is imaginary, but a million dollars a year is a very real, achievable goal. The key here isn’t really the money though, but the reason you want to gain more of it. It’s your why, your purpose, that will drive you to do the solution that will provide the dreams and accomplishments in life you find most valuable.
Richard Branson, as a example, never started his ginormous Virgin enterprise with the intent on making millions of dollars. All he wanted to do is help some people he thought were great musicians get heard by more people. He just wanted help ‘nobodies’ (like the Sex Pistols) get there chance in the spotlight. By working hard to achieve this goal he was handsomely rewarded.
And here is the last point here, but it’s arguably the most important. If you really want to achieve your dream lifestyle for the long term, you can only really to this by helping others. If you stop for a moment to really think about that I feel you would have to agree. Where does money come from? Unless you’re a government legally allowed to print money, then your money is always from other people — friend or employer. The only way other people will happily give you their money is if you somehow provide them something of value. Sure there are snake oil salesmen, but their success is short lived and often have very negative consequences.
Just like you pay others to provide goods and services to you, they will pay you when sufficient value is found in your offerings. If you help enough people achieve their goals, they will help you achieve yours. This seems to be the law of reciprocity (or giving back) that is funding most people’s dreams in the world. So what are you going to do TODAY to start, or continue your personal journey to awesomeness?
