The great achievements of tomorrow follow the steps you are ready to take today: "From Pain to Power"

“I will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet” ~Mahatma Gandhi


Do you wonder why every time you go to try and buy something nice for yourself such as a dress or pair of trousers in an exclusive shop or boutique and the first thing you do is to look at the price of a particular item you seem interested in? Why can’t you just go in and pick what you want and pay for it without worrying about the price? Isn’t it frustrating that the type of clothes you would really want to have seem always above your paycheck?  The kind of clothes that represents, correctly of wrongly, the wealthy portrayal of you, and in your mind seem to be worn by other people who you label as crooks to earn the kind of money to afford luxuries. No! They may not be crooks. Most of them are just ordinary people who have made decisions to take relevant actions to better their lives 

The truth in life is that we all need money to help answer to all the things we need; Food, shelter, clothes, entertainment and everything else in the hierarchy of our needs. We desire wealth and abundance but we may not realize that everything we believe to have or not to have, all flows from the dominant perceptions that we have developed in the course of our life’s journey.

Some wise man once wrote “How you perceive wealth and abundance is a very personal thing. For some, wealth means having a comfortable life for themselves and their family. For others, wealth means living a life of luxuries and not having to worry about a budget. How you define and perceive wealth and abundance is entirely up to you”.

Wealth and money do not flow in a vacuum. Money follows purpose anyway, why should money flow to you when you have no purpose for it? That is the reason why big money won through lottery has been known to be lost within a short period by the winner. Anything you do not understand, you will abuse. If one does not understand the purpose of a wife, wife abuse will be prevalent and vice versa.

One lesson I have learnt in achieving the little and big things in life is to realize that the results of tomorrow depend entirely on the steps and actions taken today. I don’t need to expect to harvest maize tomorrow when I haven’t planted any today. What is cardinal is that I must build the mindset of change. The mindset of imagining the life that I desire to live and explore the changes I need to make in my personal life in order to achieve it. Above all the mindset to love wealth and money. Anything you love, you will always attract into your life and what you hate will always elude you. How many people do you hate and are your friends? My guess is that the people you love have become your friends and some probably your spouse. I have rarely seen a couple that hate each other with a passion and are still married if not divorced or on their way there. Do something today that enables you to conquer tomorrow. The only one you need to rescue you is yourself and the perceptions that you have developed about wealth and abundance which you can share with others that God will put in your life’s path. Poverty is not an item that you must strive to share.
