COMING FROM LACK

Lately I have had the opportunity, because I have chosen to live my life full out, to take some incredible trips and create some experiences that I could not ever have imagined doing in my life. As I share these experiences with my colleagues and friends there are some constant refrains that I hear;

“I wish I could do that. I wish I had the time to do that. I wish I had the money to do that.”

I realize that those were thoughts I was having years ago under similar circumstances. So why the change, why is it that I have chosen not to allow these thoughts to enter into my conscious or subconscious thoughts?

There are many books out there in this world which talk about how to succeed in life and how to attract abundance to your self or even how to attract the lifestyle you desire and deserve. One book “King Solomon, The Richest Man in the World” tells us that King Solomon was granted one wish by God. He was allowed to choose anything he wanted. Solomon after some thought asked God for Wisdom and nothing more. Because he made such a modest request and did not ask for abundance God gave him not only the wisdom he requested but also incredible wealth. It was the wisdom that God gave him which allowed him to not only keep and increase his wealth, but to also share this knowledge through the book of proverbs allowing others to learn the secrets of attracting abundance. Then there is Napoleon Hill’s book, “Think and Grow Rich” which has become the bible for many millionaires, “The science of getting rich” and of course “The Secret”.

One of the reasons that I have chosen to remove the thoughts of lack from my consciousness is that all of these books basically say the same thing. If you live the life that you KNOW you deserve and you live your life with integrity, consideration for others, and gratitude you will get everything back many times over. The other reason as I thought about it was WHY should I be living my life for other people. Working my tail off for wages that were forcing me to work two sometimes three jobs in order to survive while others are making a fortune off my sweat. Even more so why should I live hand to mouth and deprive myself of the life I deserve? What does it get me? We are all familiar with the expression “No pain no gain!” Don’t we experience pain from regret then why shouldn’t we at least benefit from the pain rather than wallow in it and gain nothing.

Coming from a place of lack will only get you lack. Coming from a place of commitment and conviction in the belief that you deserve better, and living that life will only bring you what you desire. The Traveler’s Gift by Andy Andrews reviews the seven decisions that we can make in life which will lead us to achieve anything we desire.

Its funny how we always say have a great day to each other. Does this get delivered to you does someone hand it to you? Nope what we should be saying to each other is MAKE IT A GREAT DAY! We are the only ones who can make or break our day.

MAKE IT A GREAT DAY YOU DESERVE IT.
