Rich Beyond Words

I wasn’t always blessed with luck – infact I kept having a whole lot of bad luck. I began to believe that I was unlucky and so I would keep having more bad luck – after all we keep getting what we believe don’t we?

So Dov baron’s blog post on becoming lucky is interesting.

When I was a kid I asked my Grandfather if his success at farming was caused by good luck? He smiled at me and said, “If you want to get run over by a truck named Luck you have to walk onto the road or it will miss you every time!”

That of course is true – you make your luck happen.

Dov says there’s one thing you can never get back again and that’s time. Time is the thing a lot of us waste. In my mind anything you do which is not fullfilling you or bringing you closer to your goals is a waste of time. That could be anything – just being stuck in a rut and not believing that there are other opportunities.

All too often I hear people whining about stuff and then when I ask them if it pains them so much why are they doing it, they look at me blankly, like I’m insane. Most people bitch about their jobs and yet they spend most of their waking hours at a job which obviously doesn’t give them a sense of satisfaction. They tell me at least it pays the bills. My God, what a way to live – go to a job to pay your necessary bills and then have no money or time to do things you really like. SAD.

It’s just unfortunate that we’ve been programmed to believe that is the way we’re supposed to be living. To live that way means other’s will always be able to control your destiny. The people that teach us those values are so confined in their own imprisonement that they can’t even imagine other possibilities.

I always encourage my kids to do things they like – I tell them there can be no bigger joy in life than making your play your work. I want them to live full and free lives. Lucky lives.

Dove also talks about making emotional investments – well yes. That’s the difference between people living rich lives and those that are just part of the system. You have to invest your emotions to get where you want.

And lastly even though the Law of Attraction is always working – it’s not always easy. The reason why it’s not always easy is because we have other people telling us not to be ridiculous.

I recall my earliest memories of knowing that my life is a movie. I’m the director, actor and producer. Even if sometimes I have my little procrastination moments.

You can make your luck – infact nobody else is gonna do it for you.
