The Seeds Of Wealth…
Every business owner, in fact every person in our society is creating his or her life anew every single day. It has been said that your current reality is your past futures becoming real. Or, put another way, your position today is the result of the decisions you’ve made in the past. The challenge here is that most people think: all I have to do is change my decisions and I’ll create a new reality. WRONG .
For you can only do what you are, and what you are is determined by what you think about every single minute of every single day. For most people, their life and desire to succeed could be summed up in a simple thought. If you continue to plant tomato seeds, you can’t expect a great oak tree to grow.
You see, most people plant seeds, or thoughts, in their minds ever single day of: lack, limitation, want and fear, and then wonder why these trees grow to become their reality. Now, even if you don’t plant them there yourself, all you have to do is to watch the news, talk with others, or sit with someone and allow them to affect your thoughts (seeds) and hey presto! The seeds are planted.
One of the simplest examples of this reality is when you say to yourself, ‘Don’t forget, don’t forget,’ and what do you do? Forget. Why? Because the seed you planted was the central theme of your sentence. Instead, your central theme could have been to ‘remember’.
So, here’s a simple exercise for you to do. Grab a pen and paper. Write a list of the top 20 things you think about on a day-to-day basis. You might even like to divide your life up into business and personal. Or, go even further than that with a section for wealth, health, relationships, spirituality and so on.
After you’ve finished the exercise, whether in your mind or on paper, think of every thought as a seed. Ask yourself whether the seeds you’re planting are truly going to create the reality you’re after. If you’re like most business people, the answer is a definite ‘no way’. And that’s a good thing, because imagine what a difference you’ll make when you do start planting great seeds.
Here’s how you can create a RICH MIND, Firstly - expand your picture. Some people call this your vision, goals, or dreams. I was once taught a simple saying that might help, ‘Nothing if not first a dream’ . So, dream bigger. Create a new idea of your life. Think of your life as an AND, not an OR. A life where you can be this AND that, not just this or that. A life where you can do A AND B, not just a or b. A life where you can have ALL that you dreamed of, not just some little bits .
Once you’ve created a new picture, a massive new picture, it’s time to plant the seeds. Here are the three steps to doing this in your life.
Firstly, create a list of affirmations starting with ‘I AM’ - things like, I am a leader, I am rich etc. State these affirmations in the positive and present tense out loud every single day.
Secondly, create a dream chart. Get two dozen magazines full of words and pictures of your new reality. Cut out for several hours and then glue everything to a big sheet of card. Put this somewhere where you’ll see it every morning.
And thirdly, and most importantly, invest 20 minutes by yourself every single morning visualizing your new reality. Simply close your eyes and focus on everything you’ve pictured in your new reality. Plant all the new seeds every morning .
Remember two things while you’re doing all this: You are creating a new you, you’re becoming someone different, and when you are someone different you will do things differently. You can only do what you are, so change who you are.
Secondly, your subconscious mind cannot determine the difference between dreams and reality. So feed it dreams often. Do these two steps, create a bigger picture and then use these three techniques to impress this picture on your subconscious and step three will take care of itself .
Step three is to watch everything materialize in front of you. As you change who you are, you’ll change what you do, and thus you’ll change what you have. Your new reality will unfold right before your eyes .
Start planting the seeds of wealth right now.
