Do You Have A Plan?

Do you have a plan to achieve your dreams?
You know that car you'd really love to have one day? Or your dream house that you keep visualizing? Do you know how you're going to get them?

Okay, don't get me wrong. I'm a firm believer in the Law of Attraction and visualization techniques. And I know you're not supposed to ask "HOW?" The Universe will work out the how. I get all that, I really do, BUT (you knew there was a "but" coming) - let me put it this way:
What is it that you are going to do differently in your life in order to produce a different RESULT in your life?

I think you'll agree that your dream home/car/relationship...whatever - is, in fact, a "different result" right? It's got to be different or you wouldn't want it. That's what we all want - different stuff. We don't want the same stuff. The "same" is what we're trying to escape from.

Now, the problem is, in order to attract different results in our lives, we need to do different things. We cannot expect to get new results by still doing the same things in our lives. That's the definition of INSANITY - doing the same things but expecting different results. It just ain't gonna happen.

So, I have to ask again. What is it that you are going to do differently in your life in order to produce a different RESULT in your life?

I realized (probably a little too late in life, but - better late than never, I always say. Actually I never say that, but it sounded good) - anyway - I realized that to get my dream house and luxury cars and......just a better quality of life, I wasn't going to be able to do it with my current job.
My current job (and my wife's) were getting us the lifestyle we currently had and to even think that these same jobs would produce different results was, well ludicrous!
That's when I started looking for alternative ways to supplement my income. I didn't want to put all my hopes in the lottery. I know that sounds ridiculous, but that's what some people do! Some people believe that a lottery is the ONLY way they will get rich, because they don't believe they can do it themselves - when in fact, nothing could be further from the truth.

Now I don't want to get into all the opportunities I tried. The point I want to make is this: You need to explore other avenues. Something new. Have you ever noticed that all the really big things in your life came with a little discomfort. How about the house you bought, or your first car, or any car for that matter. There was probably some sort of sacrifice made. Maybe you had to save up some money, which wasn't easy. How about your first girlfriend or boyfriend? It required you to step out of your comfort zone, right? Whenever we acquire something worthwhile in our lives, it usually involved some level of discomfort.

So, you're going to have to step out of your comfort zone in order to do new things, in order to bring new results in your life. It's that simple. It's simple, but not EASY! If it was easy, everybody would be living the life of their dreams.

So if you don't have a plan, at least try to figure out what it is you can do differently that will bring you the lifestyle of your dreams.

That's all for now. Until next time.
Peace & success be with you.
