As an “Abundant Life Coach” I get asked about the meaning of “financial abundance” very often. What this means to you can be the difference between living the lifestyle of your dreams, or settling for something less than your dreams. I want you to live the life of your dreams!
Thousands upon thousands of books, articles, media, programs, and so much more have been produced that discuss the awesome power of our minds, and the influence of our thinking upon our lives. It is difficult to say enough or emphasize enough that truth. As I see it, we are exactly as we think.
In my lower-middle-class youth, I was raised to discuss money almost never; money was mostly to be associated with all the evils of the world. As a result of my childhood, I came to hold internal conflicting messages about having money, which made it tough to go out into the world and build abundance.
As I reach the age of fifty, my money intelligence has evolved, of course. I no longer regard money as evil. Just as a gun becomes evil in the wrong hands, so it is with money. How we go about earning it, keeping it, and using it is what truly counts in the end run. Now that may sound elementary, but the implications are many.
Depression and having extreme difficulty is a natural and normal fact of life that most of us will deal with either continuously, or at one point or another. This is a very serious condition; it is an illness that often leads to death when untreated.
We live in a fast-paced, fast-food, fast-business, high-stress society. Each new generation faces ever-increasing variables. It is no wonder that people are born with brain-chemical imbalances and/or predisposition for depression…or worse.
There are trained medical and mental health professionals that can absolutely help! If you have a loved one or a friend that is suffering, it is your responsibility to try to get that person to take action for help.
So much has been written about success. So many success programs, books, CDs, and other media exist on the subject. A Google search (06.29.10) on the keyword “success” returns over 335-million results.
The term is like one tiny star in the cosmos.
I think it’s safe to say that ‘success’ is/has been an over-used word throughout our human world and throughout (recorded) history.
It’s also fair to say that success means something different for each and every person, and yet most would agree that a simple and accurate definition might be: to obtain a desired result (or set of results).
The best way to stop a child from crying is to distract them, occupying their mind with new stimuli. The best way to get attention is to do something outlandishly unexpected. The quickest path to wealth is to have an ingenious idea that becomes virally popular. When Pearl Harbor was suprisingly attacked, the U.S. joined in World War II and the entire country came together in support of winning the war. Time and again, the solution to major issues, or a seemingly insurmountable problem, has been a novel concept (new idea), or a Cause greater than the sum of its parts, or ideally both. I’m sure you can think of many more examples even stronger than these. The point is that we tend to see only as we focus, yet that focal power can be enough to change the world, given a great cause plus new – focal changing – ideas.
