At some point in my life I was chasing the big bucks and success for my personal life through money.
For so long I was able to manage to live a life filled with wealth and with so many “friends”. And even though I did
have a blast during that time, I ended up losing everything due to the fact that I was missing one very important ingredient:
Personal Growth
I lost track of the importance of working hard to turn into my very best and to bring out the full potential within myself.
I thought personal growth would come to me automatically as long as I was working hard to make money every day.
My mentor and teacher taught me about the greater importance of asking myself: “who have I become” instead of asking “what do I have”.
So one of the wise teaching I received was that whatever I get is directly related to what I become in life.
So, I had to come to the conclusion to accept that the experiences I had that day, I had attracted them into my life by what I had become by that day.
So in other words, before I came to the point of losing everything, my income had taken a lucky leap, and since I wasn’t an expert and handling the responsibilites that come with a jump in income, it basically bounced back to the smaller amount that I was accustomed and that I could handle.
So, what did I learn?
If I want to gain more than what I have, I haveto become more than what I am.
Plus,
Unless I change who I am, I will always have what I’ve got.
So, the question here is, are you honestly and consciously working hard on your personal development?
If the answer is “no”, then I adivse you to start taking some serious action today!
