It seems just about everyone you talk to these days would like to improve their life but it never ceases to amaze me just how few are willing to make the sacrifice required to make those changes.
No matter what area of your life you want to change you are going to have to change the way you do things simply if nothing changes then nothing changes, You've all probably heard the definition of insanity
"Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result"
So you have to be constantly asking yourself what are you prepared to sacrifice in order to get you what you really want? If the answer is nothing or not much then I suggest you give up now and go back to whatever you usually do because as I said before if nothing changes nothing changes.
A colleague of mine related a story to me just the other day about a lady who filled out a form on his website that indicated she was interested in getting some more information on a business oppotunity so he gave her a call that evening and asked her if she had 10 minutes and was able to access the internet so he could explain some of the information. Her response flawed him as she said she was relaxing in front of the television and it was too much of a bother to turn on the computer.
So what happened with this lady you ask, well my colleague politely told her he didn't think she would be a fit for his business and wished her well. I relate this story because it demonstrates that just to want something is not enough you have to be willing to to make the sacrifice and take action.
I am a big fan of the Law of Attraction as demonstrated in the move The Secret however I do have a problem with some peoples version of it that is you just ask the universe and it will come to you. I believe this to be one of the biggest loads of crap, How I believe the law of attraction works is you focus on what you want and the universe or your subconcious mind whatever you care to call it will show you a way to obtain it that may be in the way of an opportunity or a vehicle in which to acheive whatever your goal is but if you fail to take that opportunity or vehicle and work it then all you have is a missed opportunity.
Another really important thing to realise is that initially you may feel that you are actually moving further away from that thing that you want, what do I mean? well lets say your goal is to start up a business from home so that you can earn a great income and spend more time with your family but your not in a financial position to quit your day job so you find yourself working your normal 40 hours per week and then getting up early and staying up late to try and find another 20 hours a week to get your business up and running.
All of a sudden you now have less time with the family. The danger here is you get what you focus on and if you focus on having less time that's exactly what you will attract more of. What you need to do here is focus on getting the most out of those additional 20 hours a week and being as productive as possible because that way your business will take off and sooner than you think you can quit the day job which gives you back that 40 hours plus whatever you commute everyday and your goal of more time with the family has become a reality and why? Because you were willing to sacrifice that extra 20 hours per week in the short term to get your goal for the longterm.
Have an exceptional Day
