There are many doing very well in this economy. If you’re not one of them, why not? Do you actually know? My guess is that you weren’t doing all that well before the worldwide economy tanked. So, the question is not how do you overcome this economy but rather… what is it that has stopped you all these years and continues to stop you?

You’ve no doubt come up with a multitude of answers to that question. The fact that you’ve considered the possibility that there is an answer to come up with is a clear indication that either you’ve not come up with the right answer or you’ve come up with it and wouldn’t accept it. Which is it? Do you know?

The lies we tell ourselves are the most dangerous lies of all. That’s because we, ourselves, are the easiest to convince. That’s mostly because we have constant access to our minds and have become expert at brainwashing ourselves. The problem is we tend to wash our brains with muddy thoughts.

The difference between having a life of abundance and not having a life of abundance is all in the way you think. Over my 20 year career as a Life and Business Development Coach I’ve worked with literally thousands of clients on both life and business issues. The fact is, it all comes down to one thing… how you think.

In the next century all the information needed to begin living a life of abundance will be available to the masses. All the information is already here. The problem is that because it was not part of the education during your formative years, when you hear it today it seems out of your reach, something unattainable for you. You were born and taught what your parents learned from their parents and so on back through many centuries. To put it bluntly, you just showed up on this planet and got in line. It’s been a game (if we can really call life a game) of follow the leader. The problem is that while each generation is somewhat more enlightened than the previous one, the leaders you’re following cannot give you any more than they have to give in the area of knowledge and understanding.

In the next century mankind will have become sufficiently enlightened that something so basic as creating a life of abundance for one’s self and family will be a given. Future generations will learn these things from their parents and teachers… all of whom will be living lives of abundance.

The whole thing comes down to just a few simple facts:

Fact #1 You create your life with your thoughts.

Fact #2 The only reason it doesn’t seem to work for you is that you aren’t sure it will. (That approach is rather like driving you car with the brake on.)

Fact #3 Where you are currently in your life is exactly where you have placed yourself by your thoughts.

Fact #4 You can change your life in an instant by simply changing your thoughts.

Fact #5 No problem cannot be solved by the same mindset that created it.

There is still abundance in this world. All that has happened is that the wealth has been redistributed. The only thing that stops you from having access to abundance is your lack of belief that you can.

It is not possible for you to exceed your expectations of yourself.

“When you think you can, you can.
When you know you can, you will.”

KNOW YOU CAN!

Remember: THERE IS NO NEED TO STRUGGLE

Tomorrow in part II we’ll get into the specifics of how avoid the struggle and create the life of abundance of which you’ve so long dreamed.

You can make excuses or
you can make money…
you can’t do both.
