Millionaire Montras | 5 Principles to Live By

5 Principles to Live By

Everyone could use a little guidance from time to time. After college I did tons of research into why successful people were not only successful but also why they were happy doing it. I had seen too many people struggling with long hours and no progress, and I didn’t want to be one of them. The following are the five millionaire mantras I found, these are winning principles to live by. They can be applied to business but also personal life and can help anyone whose looking for a lift or new direction.

Mantra #1: If you’re doing what’s right and have the right intentions, you don’t have to worry about what other people think.

It’s important to live by your own rules, and in order to do that you need to not only do what’s right for you, and have the right intentions, but you also have to stop worrying about what other people think. The last part is the most difficult because criticism is everywhere. We get it online as well as in person at work or in our own household, but caring about someone else’s opinion won’t help you find success. Negative people are negative to everyone and most insults and opinions are more about them than they are about you. Just do what’s right for you, you’ll know it in your heart and be honest with yourself. If you have pure intentions and respect for everyone then you’ll be able to find success.

Mantra #2: No one is responsible for your progress, or your success, or your missteps but you.

Changing your life and achieving new goals can be difficult and even scary, but you must remember that it’s all up to you and you alone. In order to achieve you have to be willing to ask for help as well as do the research and learn the skills. I’ve never heard someone brag about inheriting a million dollars; it’s all about being a self-made millionaire and doing it on your own. You are in charge of your own destiny and there are no excuses, it’s all up to you. So get out of your comfort zone and start working on that dream.

Mantra #3: In order to have good fortune and incredible blessing you have to feel like you already have an abundance of it.

If you want to live a full and blessed life you can’t just say it, you have to start feeling it. Everything you have in your life right now is good, so acknowledge it instead of constantly comparing your life to another’s. To feel blessed you have to take notice of all your good fortune. The best way to do this is to write out a list on paper. To create this list you will write down everything you have in your life right now that you would miss if it were gone tomorrow This includes things like your house and car as well as loved ones, a job, etc. Seeing all your blessings in one place, written down in front of you will be so full that you won’t have to tell yourself you’re blessed, you will already see it and feel it.

Mantra #4: Expect that 80% of the time you’re going to hit your mark, that is your goal because to expect 100% is to set yourself up for failure.

We set goals for ourselves every day, as soon as we wake up, when we think about what we’re going to do that day. It’s easy to make a huge list and hope it all gets done, but remember that 100% success isn’t realistic all the time. There will be days that things don’t go as planned, which means 80% is more attainable and will make you a happier person. If you can hit your mark 80% of the time, you’ll be successful. Just remember that missteps happen and 20% of the time things won’t work out like you thought, but that’s how life is, it has ups and down and you just have to roll with them.

Mantra #5: The joy is the journey.

Too often we get caught up in trying to achieve the goal and miss out on the process we took to get there. At the end of the day you feel more accomplished because of the difficulties you went through, not the fact that you completed your goal. The point is progress, not the goal itself. It’s the struggle, what you learned, the people you met and worked with, and even how you expanded your mind to accomplish it that make it all worth it. If you adapt this thinking to your next goal, even if you don’t complete it you’ll still feel good. Love the journey and you’ll love life.

How to END financial self-sabotage

How often do you sabotage yourself? Avoiding pain??

Fair Exchange

In my opinion a great deal of what is wrong with the world we live in can be laid at the door of the approach that some people choose to adopt to exchange.

As Robert Louis Stevenson once said: “Everybody lives by selling something.”

We all survive and try to prosper by transacting goods, services and favours for money or for other goods, services or favours. Each transaction involves an exchange. But how many truly involve fair exchange?

“Don’t go around saying the world owes you a living.  The world owes you nothing.  It was here first.”

– Mark Twain

Supply and demand theory

Supply and demand theory dictates that, in a genuinely open market scenario you can, on the whole, expect fair exchange to prevail.

Unfortunately, though, not every transaction or exchange takes place in a completely open and transparent market – and, thanks to some unscrupulous people, unfair exchange is widespread.

Value perceptions

So what is fair exchange?

It’s about there being a healthy balance between give and take. It’s about ensuring that all parties to a transaction feel satisfied that they have received fair value for what they have given.

By this you will gather that fair exchange is not something that can be scientifically computed. Whether an exchange is fair or not depends on the perceptions of the transacting parties.

In transactions conducted by entities such as corporations or governments things become more complex. Not only the transacting parties but all stakeholders in the transaction need to perceive fair value.

Natural abundance vs scarcity

If, like me, you believe that there is a natural order of abundance on earth, then it makes sense that there should be no incentive for anyone to deviate from the principle of fair exchange.

The problem stems from a widespread scarcity mentality.

In other words, the mentailty that reasons: “There is only so much to go around and if I cannot secure at least my share, someone else will get it and I could end up with nothing”.

Self perpetuating

The scarcity mentality leads to a manipulation of the natural order and an artificial imbalance, which becomes self perpetuating as greed (the desire to have more than one really needs) sets in.

The polarised ‘have’ and ‘have not’ society that results spawns criminal elements that engage in corrupt dealings and even the complete antithesis of ‘fair exchange’ – outright theft.

A simple solution

A simple (yet immensely challenging) solution to the many problems we experience on earth is for all of us to adopt an abundance mentality and promote the concept of fair exchange.

When you have an abundance mentality, you start to attract everything you need. You give freely in the knowledge that what goes out comes back. You start to live a life characterised by fair exchange, others become influenced to respond accordingly and the world becomes a better place!

Relevance to life coaching

At New Insights we teach the principle of fair exchange to our trainee coaches, primarily for three reasons:

– We want them to appreciate the intrinsic power of this concept and to promote fair exchange in all their dealings with their clients.

– We want them to understand that they should never undervalue themselves or the service that they offer.

– We know that when two parties are in a win-win relationship, they will go to great lengths to protect, extend and expand that relationship – so it’s good for them, good for business and good for society.

At the heart of it

At the heart of the principle of fair exchange is a principle that all the great teachers on this planet have attempted to impart to us.

Treat others the way you would like them to treat you!

The Most Powerful Abundance Prayer I've Come Across

Aim high, look up, for an abundance mentality everyday!

How to Attract Abundance Into Our Lives

We all wish to attract an abundance of some sort into our lives. Some of us wish for money or success. Whilst others may wish for an abundance of love and loving. We all inherently know, what we wish to have in abundance. It is essential that we remain true to ourselves, and aim at receiving an abundance of what it is that our heart desires.

Apart from all of them helping to attract abundance, they are all positive tips, that we should aim at using in our lives on an ongoing basis. The more we live by these rules, and spread them the better the society will be that we live in.

The word abundance means, a very large portion of something. In other words once we have achieved an abundance of something, we will have enough to spread it around with others. Nature surrounds us daily with abundance. We only have to look up at the sky to realise the extent of this. And, if we keep our eyes open, we will be blessed with an abundance of flowers, trees, and animals right in front of us.

I personally aim at living a healthy, happy and balanced lifestyle, and as much as I would love an abundance of everything, I am content to have a healthy dose of what makes me happy and content.

But, to be honest, I could do with an abundance of the following, and any excess, I would be happy to spread around.

- To love and be loved. I am at my happiest, when I am surrounded by my special family and friends.

- Health. The older I have got, the more I value living a healthy life

- Money. There is no doubt about it, that if we have enough money it does make life easier.
