Ask how to change yourself, don’t try to change your situation
Always ask how you can change yourself instead of why this is happening to me or why am I stuck here. We are the actively moving parts, the situation or environment around is pretty static.
Do you hate your job? Ask how you can change yourself i.e. add skills to get a different job. Or can you move out of town to find a different job. In any case, try to change yourself, don’t wait for things or people around you to change. Your boss will not treat or pay you better. Your coworkers won’t be nicer. You have to change yourself to get out of the situation.
Wealth creation or attraction is similar. You have to ask yourself how I can earn 1,000,000 dollars. Keep asking until you get it!
Focus instead of Frustration
Focus can be anything
- Try to set a reminder on your phone to focus on the things you want. If you haven’t reached your goal yet, focus on it.
- Take a check with 1,000,000 $ written in your name and stick it to your desk or the roof of your bedroom.
- Talk to yourself about it. Revolve your discussion or thoughts around it.
- Write it down on a piece of paper, draw a circle. Write all the words and emotions that come to your mind when you think about having that amount of money.
Focus is your way of spending your attention on your goal.
Describe your day with that one change
Imagine if you had one small change in your life and the rest are the same. Let us say you got 1$ extra than today. The way you brush your teeth is the same. The car you drive is the same. The road to work is the same. The breakfast, lunch or dinner is the same. 99.99% of your life is the same, except your networth has increased by 1$.
Now let’s add a 100$ to that increase. If you run the through above exercise, again everything else is the same except your networth has increased by 100$.
Now let’s add 1,000,000$ to that increase. Before your mind runs crazy with fancy cars, parties or a millionaire lifestyle, pause and go through the exercise. For that day or moment when that money got added, your lifestyle is still the same. Except you have the feeling that you have 1,000,000$ in your bank account or in stock certificates. Hold onto that feeling! The feeling of owning that much money. Think about how your grocery shopping will be different knowing that you have 1M$ in the bank. Just pause and think about it.
you have to “train” your mind’s muscle by feeling the weight of a million dollars
Feel the weight or heaviness of owning that money. A 1$ bill or a 100$ is probably lightweight, so you won’t feel the “additional weight”. But 1M$ in comparison to100$ is a lot of weight. Eventually, your mind’s muscle will handle this weight like a 10 lbs dumbbell but today you have to “train” your mind’s muscle by feeling the weight of a million dollars. Every single day train with this heavy weight. Why can’t you do it with a billion dollars? the same reason you can’t go really high on weights in the gym in one day!
Invest in stocks after a recession
Wait for a recession and buy a lot of stocks just after the crash!
