Some Preliminary Observations
To get started, here are some observations I’ve
made from studying my two friends and from reading about great wealth builders
like Jobs and Edison and Ford.

1. A “normal” person is concerned with
protecting his ego. When dealing with a problem he doesn’t really understand, he
pretends he understands the contributing factors and doesn’t try to find out
what anyone else thinks. A person with a multimillionaire mind asks questions
inces-santly. He has no ego when it comes to learning. He knows that knowledge
is power.

2. A “normal” person has a consumer mentality. He looks at a hot
new product and thinks about how he would like to own one. A person with a
multimillionaire mind has an entrepreneurial men-tality. He looks at it and
thinks, “How can I produce this or something similar in my own industry?”

3. A “normal” person is wish-focused. He daydreams about making gobs of money. A
person with a multimillionaire mind is reality-based. He is always analyzing his
own success and the success of others and wondering how he could learn from it.

4. A “normal” person, when confronted with a challenging idea, thinks of all
the reasons why it might not work. A person with a multimillionaire mind sees
the potential in it and disregards the problems until he has a clear vision of
how it might succeed.

5. A “normal” person resists change. A person with a
multimillionaire mind embraces it.

6. A “normal” person accepts the status
quo. A person with a multimillionaire mind is always looking to make things –
even good things – better.

7. A “normal” person reacts. A person with a
multimillionaire mind is proactive.

8. A “normal” person looks at a
successful business owner and thinks, “That guy’s lucky.” Or “That guy’s a
shyster.” A person with a multimillionaire mind thinks, “What’s his secret?”
And, “How can I do that?”

Quote from this thread.

Yeah, you know that, too?

Okay. I’ve stuck in my current job for over a year now. After the learning phase I’ve realized that it was quite boring and I begun to complain, to look for something epic, for something my heart would want me to do. I’ve build more and more resistance on that topic. But lately  I’ve started to enjoy it as much as I can. I stopped complaining a lot, I’ve released some resistance, I’ve accepted that right now I’m doing this job and I’ve tried to enjoy the small things in the everyday work life. It worked. Now I feel happy sometimes, while being most of the time just bored. It’s still better than being frustrated or angry, but it’s not very enjoyable, too.

But this shift in my perceptions changed my point of view on “dream jobs”. Why should I search for something that I LOVE right now, when I haven’t figured it out yet? I can still keep my eyes open, while changing my job to something slightly better, right? Yeah.. that’s what I’ve realized. Surely it is the most beautiful thing on earth to do what you love for a living, but it’s quite nice to do something you like, too. I can find a job that’s a bit more enjoyable than this one, but still not my dream job and live happily ever after, too! At least as long until I really get bored again.

Searching for the “bit better job”

When I’m enjoying this right now, then I’d enjoy the same thing in another, but cooler enviroment. Or a cooler action in the same enviroment. Not everything needs to change, but just some small adjustments could make my worklife much happier. And then, when I’m in my new job, I still can keep my eyes open for something even more fulfilling.

I’m only 20. Why on earth should I freak out on finding my LIFE PURPOSE DREAM JOB right now, when I don’t even know life really well? I rather enjoy life right now, do something enjoyable and search for a quite more enjoyable job by the side. That’s it for now.

Be happy.

1) Do you have goals that stretch you?

Yes, I guess I have.
I want to publish a Rap EP.
I want to learn spanish and read 3 spanish books.
I want to learn 3 piano songs and play them blindly.
I want to write a book.

And I want to start changing people’s minds, teaching them that they are worthy of achieving anything they want. Teaching that they can do, be, or have whatever they want. Through the power of their minds and hearts. That’s a general statement, but more specific:
In the time span of one year from today I want to speak in front of groups of people about shifting your perspectives on life and helping them uplifting their lifes through new perspectives. In addition I want to sell ressources of information to help them to remember this information on a daily basis.

2) Do you have personal dreams for your life as a whole?

I want to achieve the 5 goals mentioned about in one year from now.
In 5 years from now I want to have my own appartment with my girlfriend. She and I will share similar interests in being creative, so we both want and create an inspiring, creative and wonderful feeling appartment for ourselves.
Also 5 years from now I want to be able to help my parents to live their full potential in life, while working less and having more fun.

3) How about for yourself as a person:

I am confident, good looking, healthy, fresh and clean, fit, dressed well and joyful. I’m following my own intuition and my heart, sharing love and happiness with others around me, uplifting the ones that want to accept my help.

4) If you could spend your time doing anything you wanted, what would that be?

I would act by inspiration and create products, services and experiences in all life areas. I would get an idea and start working towards it, attracting all neccessary components and starting to work on that project. I would film movies, write books, hold seminars, open cafes, raw food restaurants and raw food fast food restaurants, I would organize great orchestral gigs that play classical game music, etc. I would just do what I really want to do right now and DIVE into it as deeply as I want until it’s realized and automated, so I can leave it alone working, so other people can enjoy it fully. I would make movies, music, books, seminars, new technologies, and much more.

 5) If you could leave a legacy to the world, what would it be and why?

I want to tell anyone on earth that they can be whatever they want to be. That life is full of fun experiences waiting for us, that life is a gift and a miracle and such an abundant place to enjoy. I want to tell anyone that they are worthy of living live. Worthy of being here and existing. Worthy of being happy and joyful, of following their own heart and passions.

I want to tell anyone that they can follow their own heart and intuition, because it leads them to their path of most joy and fulfillment. They can change their reality by changing their thoughts, feelings and inner perspectives.
I want to tell them that they can be happy no matter what happens right now. They can be present and enjoy the pure existence without being attached to any outcome out there. Everything’s possible. For any of us.

Why do I want to tell anyone all of this?
Because I believe that it would make any human on earth more joyful, which leads to a joyful humanity, a joyful planet and new, incredible fascinating and exciting expansion and growth of EVERYTHING that exists!

6) Are you living your dreams?

I’m not living my dreams in the depth that I want to, because I feel like on the beginning of the journey. I still don’t know where exactly I need to go to find the specific paths towards my goals, but I know that they are somewhere in front of me. I want to trust my intuition that it leads me towards them. What’s especially stopping me? Hm.. I guess it’s my fear to follow my intuition one hundred percent all the time. I have peak intuition moments as I have low intuition moments where I’m still living in old terms, old habits and old perspectives, which don’t serve me anymore. I guess that if I’d leave my comfort zone completely for more than some hours a day, I’d change my reality completely in 30 days so that I won’t recognize my old me anymore.

It is a decision to be made, nothing more. Do I want to live less healthy or more?  Do I want to live less joyful or more? Do I want to live less dependend on other people’s opinions or more? Do I want to live in fear or do I want to live in trust? What’s stopping me is my fear of commitment, my fear of the consequences and my fear of letting my old life go.

7) Are you prepared to go after your dreams?

I am prepared. I can do it as fast or as slow as I want. There is no one who tells me which speed is more accurate. I can do half-time living on my purpose, living the other part in safety (out of fear). I could live full time on my purpose, too. Who decides what’s accurate is only me.

Although I don’t know the whole path, I know what I want and can become inspired to do the first step. There’s nothing I need to know more. In Addition, that’s the most exciting part about any goal: The uncovering of the dream and seeing it coming together step by step.

8.) If you knew that whatever one huge single dream you had would come true, what would that dream be?

I live prosperous, joyful, fulfilled and rich through showing, telling or teaching other people that they can be, do or have whatever they want and that they create their own reality through their thoughts and feelings. I want to see more and more people around me waking up to the fascinating life that we all share and be more joyful, more excited about life, following their own inner guidance and living in love for life.

It is imporant to me because that’s my dream for the world I’m living in. I want the people I meet to be happy, creative and excited about life. I want humanity to strive for new heights. I want to be on the leading edge of creating a completely new society of people who search for solutions instead of problems. I want humanity to expand and grow and achieve a new level of consciousness. I want all current world problems to be solved and humanity to focus on the new inventions. Of society, of technology, of life itself.

9) If someone a little braver than you could help you make your dreams come true, would you ask for their help?

Yes.

Are you able to answer those questions for yourself?

What keeps me from being rich?

“That’s life, Bro.” a friend told me, after I’ve described him my financial goals in contrast to my financial situation. Rather than being content with the status quo, I really wanted to discover why I still wasn’t rich yet.

My thinking has changed radically over the time of one year. I’ve become definitely more positive and confident. That radiates into all of my life areas. As a believer in the law of attraction, I’m determined to work within me first, before taking action and working “outside” to achieve any goal. When I’m no vibrational match for my goal, all of my efforts are nearly worthless and self-sabotaging. I’ve shifted my emotions around many topics, but only the topic of money seemed to remain constantly on the same level.

It was yesterday when I’ve realized which deep rooted belief about being rich I’ve still got active within me. After having great talks with folks and being in my zone, I got a stroke of insight about why on earth I’m not working towards becoming rich.

My belief goes like this:
This world is full of great experiences in which I want to participate one day. Most of them can only be experienced by paying an amount of money which I’m not having right now. But those experiences are limited. Once I become rich, I will try to experience all of them in the shortest amount of time [is this really true?]. I fear that once I’ve experienced all of it in an early age [for example 30 years old], my life would become meaningless, boring and frustrating. There will be nothing exciting on earth to do anymore, I will have seen any beautiful sights and have done any extreme sports. Life would become pointless at that point.

That was my previous belief.
Stupid, isn’t it? Well, I guess it’s just a fear based perception of a rich man’s life. I don’t care when I’ve created this belief, I just care about changing it. But that isn’t a problem at all, now where I know my fears and what it is I want to avoid. I’ve written a new version of my belief that allows me to be happy in anticipation of being rich. I’m no longer sabotaging my wealth anymore, because being rich won’t lead to a meaningless and boring life, but instead to a life full of new and exciting possibilities.

My current belief:
Life is fun. It’s all about the fun of the ride, it’s all about the journey. That’s why there won’t be any end in sight, ever. I’ll always have new ideas, new desires and therefor new goals to walk towards. Once I become rich, even when I’m still in my twenties, I’ll be granted a lot of new possibilities to experience life. I’ll be bothered by different things then, so my thoughts won’t rotate around fears of poverty and survival anymore. These will be finished life quests I’ve conquered in the past. Now I’m on to new sights, new goals and therefor new quests. They may focus about uplifting the people around me and creating new ways to contribute to the whole of the planet. They won’t be focused only on myself anymore. I can imagine that there are endless quests in front of me, waiting to be conquered and solved. I have images of new ecologically beneficial technologies and cities. I have images of journeys into the depth of new galaxies, of under water built cities, of worldwide saturation and expanding growth of all humans on earth. There are endless ideas, possibilities and challenges to solve and have fun with. The game of life won’t ever end in boring ways. I have fun on the way, I love the idea of never ending quests and I love the fact that I know how to feel good in any given moment! Life is fun..

Feels damn good, doesn’t it? :’D

Today I want to share with you an article I’ve read about Not Giving A Fuck. It’s even called The Complete Guide to Not Giving a Fuck and is written by Julien Smith (a New York Times bestselling author). It’s great and that’s why you will read it now.

Good. This is the start of a series called Road to Happiness that will contain some great resources, which inspired me to all of this.

Remember happiness doesn’t depend upon who you are or what you have; it depends solely on what you think. -Dale Carnegie

I’ve experienced that my fear of rejection declined my happiness in life. We all have. But we do not need to do this anymore. I’m trying to break free from my thoughts about other’s opinions about me for some time now. It’s a long-lasting process, if you’ve experienced pain several times in your past. But it’s completely achieveable. If you read the article, you will now know how to do it. I’ve liked it as a good reminder because it summons many aspects of a happy life into one step by step task list.

First you need to stop giving a fuck, before you can create your dream life.

It is not what happens to you but how you respond to what happens to you.

I’ve come to the realization, that security is more of a feeling, more of a mindset, than the posession of something. Basically it’s trusting yourself more than fearing the future. Also now where I’ve adopted the law of attraction lifestyle, I’m gaining a deeper understanding of why I should feel secure before I get the manifestational evidence of security.

So what would be the best for me and for my family to do?
It’s easy now for me to see:
I want to feel secure and safe right now, even improving that state of being and work with that mindset towards the future. Then there will be manifestational evidence for my family, that I can show them and that’s alright with me. But I can’t be focused on the evidence first, because this would build up resistance. With resistance there will be no manifestation, and with resistance there is no true feeling of security, is it?

Feel Secure First. Evidence Comes After.

It’s hard for people who don’t want to trust blindly towards something, they’ve never seen with their eyes. There is no evidence but your feelings and that’s what you should focus on only. Just improve your secure feeling. Then the manifestation will come, but it must be irrelevant to you if there’s evidence. The most important thing to you must be your feeling! You need to realize that what you’re seeking is not the evidence of security, but the feeling that the evidence would give you. So stop searching for the evidence and “fake it, till you make it” like they say.

Remember, it’s all about your reality, your feelings and your life experience. You don’t owe anything to anyone. It’s all about you in the first line. If you don’t feel good, you can’t help anyone feel better.

Money is Energy

We use money to exchange energy. You’ve used up your energy on your bosses project and you get money for it. You pay for your food, which is an equivalent of used energy and objects. In reality money indicates the flow of energy for energy.

Imagine a river stream that’s flowing through a beautiful landscape and in the middle of that trough a tunnel. Imagine the tunnel as you and the stream as your money. The time the water is IN the tunnel stands for the present moment cash you own. The water that’s in front of the tunnel is the money you’ll become in the future and the water behind the tunnel is that which you’ve spend already.

You are the tunnel and the water within you is your current money. The stream allows only so much water to flow through you, as you can contain within the tunnel AND simultaneously spend on the other side. The river can’t flow faster than you spend your money (since you are always filled up to your fullest). So the only component that’s deciding how much money you are owning right now (the amount of water in the tunnel right now) is yourself (is the size of the tunnel).

The Small and The Big Tunnel

Now imagine one small tunnel, that’s tattered, tight and ugly. For me that’s an equivalent of a person who’s insecure, underestimates himself, and don’t feel worthy of much money.

In contrary imagine a great, wonderful, big, bridge-like tunnel where unbelieveable much water flows through. That’s a person who believes in himself, knows their value, knows that he can GIVE a lot and feels secure that they will get more and more money in their experience.

Now I know how hard it is to imagine and pretend to be like a big bridge, when we feel like a small tunnel. But that’s the secret of life: Fake it till you make it! You need to feel yourself up to what you want to experience. You can’t get security from outside of yourself, when you feel insecure on the inside. Then you’ll always need more and more affirmation from outside. You’ll be dependent on it. I guess people who know the law of attraction know what I’m talking about.

So what do you need to do now?
You need to create an image of yourself as the great bridge that is safe, feels worthy, and can contain and SPEND as much water as it flows into it’s experience, without the fear of getting less. You need to feel like that. You need to be that bridge, that person. And then you’ll experience it.

Look, you meet new people and introduce you like any other guy (or girl). That’s what Mars Dorian also critizies in one of his articles about how to make people remember you. You don’t think you are special but you are, and that’s why you should start to introduce you in another way. At least that’s what I think about myself, even if I would be the only one who thinks that way. I like the idea of controlling the impression you give to others. All you say will influence their image of yours, so why not to pre-write what you will normally tell people you meet about yourself? I don’t mean that you should overthink any word you use, bringing catchy phrases or similar stupid stuff.

I just mean to be well prepared for such a situation. To be the leader of the chat. To know how to impresse, if it’s your wish. I like the feeling of being in control. So why shouldn’t we all note some ideas down? About our own life, what we have achieved, what we are doing right now and the way we can represent it in a good light.

That’s what I gonna do now. I want to create my own sexy life story. I’m not boring, and you aren’t either!

What do you think about the topic? Doesn’t it shine a new spotlight on self-mastery? on self-discipline, dedication, motivation and persistence? This are values I highly recommend to adopt, but I’m also guilty of not playing a role model here. I would love to. But even if I have not achieved it yet, you should start thinking about it.

Today I explored the reasons of my happiness in life. I think that’s a valuable lesson everyone should do, because it gives you advice on how to make yourself happy. You can give this list also to your lovely ones as they can see what they could do to improve your happiness if they wish to. Here I go with my list:
