It all starts between your ears…

July 7, 2007

Time to get honest with yourself, OK? You are probably reading this because you either hate your job, maybe you’re sick and tired of living paycheck to paycheck, maybe you just don’t have enough time to spend with your family, maybe you aren’t living in the house or neighborhood you’d like to, or maybe you don’t have the funds to take the vacations or travel the way you want to.

It’s nothing to be ashamed of. We’ve all been there at some point.

Here’s an astounding truth you’d better accept right now:

YOU must accept full responsibility right now for your current situation.

You are where you are because of the decisions you’ve made in your life. It’s nobody else’s fault. Those decisions were made based on your belief system at the time. Pause for a moment to honestly reflect and verify the truthfulness of this statement.

Here’s the good news: If you’re not happy where you are, and you’re current situation is a result of your decisions (based on your beliefs), then it’s logical to assume that in order to improve your situation, you must make better decisions, right?

How?

The Mind
By changing your thinking and belief system through personal development training.

By flushing out all the garbage in your mind that led you to making the decisions that led to your unhappiness. By replacing your poverty conscious thoughts with ones of wealth consciousness.

I know what some of you might be thinking, “This sounds like a bunch of new age garbage; I don’t need anybody to tell me how to think.”

Honestly, that’s what I thought at first, but I soon discovered that the principles of personal development are not new at all, but in fact, have been around forever and are also included in ancient texts as well. Don’t take my word for it:

“That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adultries, fornications, murders, theft, covetousness, wickedness, deciet, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, folishness: All these evil things come from within and defile the man.”
–Jesus Christ, Mark 7:20-23

“Every person is the architect of their own fortune.”
–Sallust, 1st Century, B.C.E.

“All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think, we become.”
–Buddha

“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.”
–Proverbs 23:7

“To put the world in order, we must first put the nation in order; to put the nation in order, we must first put the family in order; to put the family in order, we must first cultivate our personal life; we must FIRST set our hearts right.”
–Confucious

Personal development training will allow you to persist long after others quit.

It will allow you to develop a “millionaire mindset”. It will allow you to become the leader that others are attracted to and will follow. It will allow you to manifest your desires physical, social, spiritual, material, and monetary. It will allow you to become a better you.

The importance of your own personal development simply cannot be overstated. Without it, you’re doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past.

In other words:
“The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.”
–Albert Einstein

If you’re not prepared to accept this, you may as well stop reading right now… you’re already beaten before you’ve gotten started.

Here’s a couple of great places to start: “The Master Key System” by Charles F. Haanel and “The Game of Life and How To Play It” by Florence Scovel Shinn
