Millionaire Mindset and Our Lives and Actions

There is no doubt that our outer lives are the result of our inner thoughts  and belief systems. I also understand this is probably not news to you. However, what may be news is that we can condition our thought and change our circumstances, no matter where we are in life.


I think that most of you, my readers, know that I like to be reading books and manuals to make sure that I am always giving to my mind, nutrients like a gardener would tend their garden. In a similar way, I am making sure that I am always nourishing my soul and mind and reading daily. It is very valuable and I just this morning, read a book on the Millionaire Mindset. It was not actually new information, but was so well presented that it forced me to think about the subject in a new light.


This is the very point that I want to make, in that we are all able to learn from different perspectives and that is very important indeed. If I can give you just  one tip today, it is to make a point of reading at least one chapter in a book daily. If you are not a voracious reader, this may seem an onerous task, but I think you will find that you will quickly reach this goal and also start to enjoy and look forward to each successive reading session,. I know I certainly do, and even though I read for pleasure and learning, the learning happens almost automatically and the pleasure is just there. 


I am so grateful for the love of reading as it has allowed  me to really open my eyes to the wonders of the world. I think it would be unlikely if I would be able to say that I have come as far as I have had I not been a reader of as much material as I do read already.  

 

It is for this very reason that I am hoping to inspire you to read and take up this very important task which I truly wish for you to become a habit.


I have heard it said that for a habit to form, we need to do perform a task repetatively for a period of 21 days. At that point, it is a habit, and if you imagine a typical book having  ten chapters, that is two books read in twenty one days. Imagine the amount of knowledge you will be able to acquire and enact in the period of a year.

 

I think you get my point here- I genuinely wish for you to manage a successful transition from non reader to reader of you are not reading as much as you should be. 



Work and Live in a Spirit of Good will

Good will is onw of those things that not only helps you, but is also contagious to those around you.

Good will Explained

I learned quite some time ago, when reading the Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale, that the mind attracts to us, what we think.

To explain this a little better, I am going to refer to the idea of waking up on the ‘wrong side’ of the bed.  Have you heard of this before? I am sure you have.

Well, when this happens, we may be in a mood where we think the day will not go very well, and you may notice that you tend to get upset about things very easily. You may loose your coole in the traffic when you are cut off wrongly, and so on.

You may find that you always end up in the slow line at the shop’s checkout.  I am certain you have been there before. We all have.

However,  As Peale wrote, and I have experienced as well, this can be reversed by our attitude, and our spirit of good will.  The first time I tried this, I was in my late teens, and a little on edge.

I deliberately started my day, determined that I will see everything in a good light, and lo and behold, everything worked out for me. I even turned a situation that could have been stressful, into a great experience. This was with a teller in a bank, where I was not very happy with their service in the past. However, I had the right attitude, and turned the situation around, to serve, and help us all.

This is only a small example, but I thinbk you get the idea.

I really make the effort to make each day a good day, no matter what is on my mind.

As I write this, I have a few worries, but am sure they will work out.  I will explain in the next page about this…

In the interim, I recommend you make a point of filling your mind with all th ebenefits of the writers, and readers that have contributed so much to our world. In my case, I am a voracious reader, but am aware that some people prefer audios as well.

Whichever way you prefer, I can highly recommend the self help data base store, where some books are available to members for no charge. Check here to see for yourself.

Please note the store, is an extension to the membership site, where some items are available for free from the membership site.
