The Pathway to a Wealthy, Successful and Happy Life, is Truly Simple, if you Know the Rules of the Game.

 

The pathway to a wealthy, successful and happy life, is truly simple, if you know the rules of the game.

Risk can be a caution. Risk can also be the pathway to wealth. 

What if …. Is the language of the poor. Overly cautious people never attain a lot in life. They approach life too timidly and steer away from risk and in doing so, don’t get very far. Playing it safe, they miss out on the adventures of life. 

Once you discover it, you’ll find it’s all risky. Trying is risky, investing is risky, having children and driving a car is risky, but wait until you get to the end of your life and see what you’ve lost, in not taking the risk and you’ll see, not taking that risk, was also a risk.

By all means, nestle in a corner, if you want safety and security. You might well live to be 100, but is that any way to live?

Better to live a life of adventure, than safe, but huddled in the corner, don’t you think? It’s not how long we live, but how well we live, that puts the spice in our life.

Take your risks, but only after you’ve prepared yourself to win. Prepare as much as you can, and then act. At least you tried. At least you didn’t remain crouched in the corner, your whole life. 

You can be ever the pessimist, if you want. Pessimism…always looking on the problematic side of life; looking at how it can’t be done, all the while trying to figure out what’s wrong and why you can’t. 

Instead, think about this; Those who say they can’t and those who say they can, they’re both right.  

We all look at things in different ways and in different lights. Is the glass half empty, or half full? Why are we all affected in different ways? It’s the way we think we are, that affects us most.

Poor thinking habits keep people poor. Not poor working habits. You can work hard all your life and still end up poor at the end of it.

As you think, so you become – this is a biblical phrase, as effective in the time it was written thousands of years ago, as it is today.

Poor thinking habits, includes reading the paper and watching the news, loading up on all that’s wrong in the world.

Imagine the kind of days you’ll have when you do this, when you look at all the things going wrong in the world.

If you want to be a leader, if you want to be wealthy, you need to read the right books, watch the right programs on tv and make better use of your screen time. 

What a person reads, changes the fabric of their life, according to what they’re putting into their mind; murder, mayhem, or madness, versus, wealth, wellness and wonder.

If you’re consuming trash, mentally (and for that matter, physically), what you put into your internal frame, is what will show up in your external world.

To live a successful life, you need to select the right ingredients - and it starts with your thoughts.

Put the right mental food into your mind and you’ll have a good life.

It’s that simple.

It doesn’t matter where you get your “bad stuff”, it will still damage you, even if it’s by accident, or neglect. So choose wisely and carefully. 

Stand guard at the door to your mind. You decide what goes into your mental factory and you get to live with the results of your choices. 

Also, when you indulge in complaining, crying, whining, murmuring, you’ll have wasted your time. Each minute spent in these activities, is a minute wasted on not growing your knowledge base effectively. Not only that, you bring economic cancer into your life, in the process. 

And if you don’t believe me, look at those around you. I think you’ll find those watching trashy tv shows and those learning how to invest, will be worlds apart. It’s not just coincidental. 

The war is on and if you want to win the war, you have to have a battle strategy. You have to learn the rules and fight the battle in the right way, if you want to win. 

Wise and careful thoughts, lead to a well lived life. It really is that simple.
