The Key to a Wealthy Lifestyle is Personal Development

A few weeks ago I wrote about having an abundant lifestyle (see article here) and how using a vision board can help bring that about. 

Did you get to that yet?  Did you make your vision board?

If you're like 99% of our patients who don't do their home exercises as recommended, I can answer that question myself. 

No.

Did I?   Of course.  My wife and I did it together.  One reason why is that it works.  Another reason is that I actually practice what I preach.   But here's the main reason why.  I have only one big fear in life.   And that fear is that I may grow old and one day look back at my life and feel disappointed that I did not do everything that I wanted to do, that I did not even attempt to do what I wanted, or accomplish the most important things in my life. 

THAT scenario scares me.  

Now let's get back to a 'wealthy lifestyle'.  Most people connect a wealthy lifestyle to financial wealth.  However, financial wealth is only one part of it.  The time to enjoy life, the people to enjoy it with, the health (physical, mental, and emotional) with which to enjoy it are all components of a wealthy lifestyle. 

Wealth isn't just being rich in order to have "things" so that you can feel good about yourself.  In my opinion, wealth is about doing well in all areas of your life--about flourishing and propering across all areas of your life. 

However, since we are in rough economic times and people gripe about money and what hurts more than anything, I'm adding a second article about abundance and having a wealthy lifestyle. 

Picking up on the law of attraction...

The law of attraction claims that you can attract just about anything that you desire.  According to Anthony Robbins, one of the top motivational speakers in the world & author of improvement programs Personal Power & The Edge, this includes a wealthy lifestyle!  He proclaims that serious and motivated people, with any kind of background can indeed gain a substantial income and rub shoulders with the elite, all through personal development.

To become wealthy, your motivation, personal and business habits, thoughts, self-image and emotions must all be aligned towards personal development. Alignment with congruity, to be exact.   You can't speak positively at work, in the car, to your friends, to brothers and sisters and church, then go home and be the exact opposite to your spouse or even your own self. That's incongruent.

Achieving that is simple, though not necessarily easy, convenient or comfortable.   Achieving a wealthy lifestyle means learning the secret of wealth creation and developing habits and skills you may not have or currently use, and abandoning counter-productive ones that you do use.

Simply put, define the life path you want, surround yourself with like-minded people and resources that align with your intention and who/that can support you, commit to ongoing and continual personal development, and focus on your targets daily. (Yes, daily). 

Look into possible business opportunities (know full well that only 4 of 10 may actually succeed, so be patient and persistent), set realistically attainable goals that will encourage you to move forward, and then increase these objectives, but without overextending yourself.  Make sure to reward yourself along the way for a job well done.

According to Rhonda Byrne, who wrote the book, and produced the feature-length film ‘The Secret', there is indeed a mystery to be revealed if you want to discover one of the most powerful laws of the universe, a formula that will lead to unlimited happiness, love, health, and prosperity. Envision what kind of life you want and what you are willing to do, to achieve it.

Realize that you will likely have to get out of your comfort zone.  Sometimes an individual has to grow up, abandon their past behavior patterns and toxic associations, and start taking small risks in order to meet their goals.  Continuing to do what you do will only bring you more of what you've already got.

To move forward, make money and find the lasting life that you desire, face it: you will have to switch attitudes and do some personal development.

It's your life, your fate, and you have a say in it.

Here's one place to start.  This is one of the more recent areas where I began.

Best regards.
