Enough with the "If Only's"

I know I said I was giong to post everyday on my blog but that would mean having to go to my inlaws every day to post! Freakin internet! Anyways, I have been doing really well at reading or listening to something every day though. Today I was listening to Bob Proctor and he talked about a survey that he did in the top 10 biggest cities in the US where he asked some of the wealthiest, happiest people in those towns, how they got to where they were at. What was their secret? It was interesting to hear that every single one of the people surveyed gave the exact same answer! They all said that they never allowed their situation to trump them from working toward their goals. They never gave up no matter what their circumstances were. They all set a goal that was so big and so great that it made them get tingles just thinking about it and gave them the drive to accomplish it.

How many of us get scared just thinking about "what would be our biggest, greatest, most fantastic goal, that we want to reach?" Do you not even want to think about it? Or if you do, do you stop yourself because you don't want to "get your hopes up?" Whoever came up with "don't get your hopes up", was probably a miserable man. Why shouldn't we get our hopes up? Why shouldn't we know exactly what we want in life? A few of us know how bad we want eternal life with our loved ones and we study every single day the guidelines we must follow to achieve it! If we have high hopes or dreams about things we want to do or have, and we spend the same amount of attention to these things, what will hold us back? Only us! Circumstance cannot, unless we let it! Which all of us have allowed to control us one to many times. We cannot continue to think: "If only things were different." "If only I had the money." "If only I had a better job." Why do we waste so much energy thinking about the if only's and never thinking about the "how's" How can I start today? How can I raise the money? How can I manage things better to find the time?

A quote I love to hear from one of our leaders in Nouveau Rich is

"If your WHY is great enough, the HOW will take care of itself"
