The more I study personal development, the more convinced I am that abundance is simply a mindset. I visited a couple of the name-brand bookstores looking for a book, The Richest Man in Babylon, by George S. Clason. It's a classic and I'm reading it as part of a class assignment for a book club I belong to. Every time I visit the self-help section of the bookstore, I am totally amazed at the numbers of books by various authors with the intent of convincing us that the secret to our success lies within us.
So what is it about abundance that makes so many people think of it as unattainable for them personally? The personal development books focus on how we think. The Law of Attraction instructs us to decide what we want and then focus on those thoughts. We are to visualize attaining those objectives and actually experiencee the feelings that are evoked as a result. The idea here is that we get what we give our focus and attention to, whether it is something we want, like abundance, or something we don't want, like poverty.
The Richest Man in Babylon offers age-old practical advice for steadily growing wealthy by working hard, paying yourself first, making wise investments, avoiding or paying off debts, and consistently living on 70% of your income. Most of us have heard this advice before but few people actually discipline themselves to live this way. This book also advises us that to become wealthy, we must decide to live as free people and not as slaves.
My premise is that we were all created with the birthright of abundance. Everyone has an opportunity to achieve far more financially and personally than they dare dream. My goal is to help as many people as possible to believe this and to make it happen. If you are looking to change your mindset and lifestyle to one of abundance, contact me today.
To Your Abundance,
