Living in a place like London or anywhere where life is expensive, it’s hard to ignore the topic of money. Most people dream that one day, maybe, they will become financially free, or at least freer. There are various schemes that promise you to get rich quick, or how to make easy money, selling you a high-priced course or training.
Everyone has the freedom, the potential and the responsibility to increase their wealth, create more value and enjoy it. Yet true wealth is not of material nature. Anyone who reached financial wealth will tell you that true wealth is emotional, psychological and spiritual.
Let’s look at the lives of the wealthy. You will see there is a certain quality of life they have. You’ll think it’s because they are wealthy and don’t have any cares. That until you take a closer look at another category of the wealthy and discover that they are miserable and suffer despite all the money they’ve got. They are unhappy. Why? Because being happy is an art they never mastered.
Anyone can make more money, but will that make you happy and fulfilled. I’ll bet you, it won’t. A famous wealthy man wrote:
You can be successful financially, but without fulfillment that would be the ultimate failure.
The big question to ask is: will I commit to BE happy, no matter what happens?
Whatever is in the way of your sense of fulfillment, it’s not the money, it’s not the lacking in life, the deficiencies, the losses, the less. It’s the thoughts you have about these, the beliefs about self and the world that are in the way. When you deal with those, clear them out, than true wealth is yours. And you know what? That in turn will create more abundance in your life, your relationships, your wealth, your health and everywhere you go. It is the best gift you can give yourself and others.
What are some of the things that cause you suffering… limiting you? Look back… they’ve been there for a long time. Feel the pain. Write them down. Are you tired of holding on to that pain? Decide what you want to do with them. Do you need someone to help you navigate towards a new mindset and keep you accountable?
Be dauntless to make a decision today. You only live once.
