Change, pain and gain!

“Everyone is meant to enjoy a prosperous life.” – Pat Mesiti

There is an abundance of wealth in the world and more than enough for everyone. If you seem to be far from attaining success financially, then you may be doing some things which do not bring you closer to your goals. The key to having a prosperous life is to make changes, starting with your mind.

Results come as a matter of course from an action or inaction. You reap what you sow; for every action there is a corresponding reaction. If maintaining your day job is not making you any richer after five years of slaving behind a desk, then it will not make you a millionaire as well after ten more years. The principle applies in other aspects of your life such as health and relationships. You can’t expect to have a slimmer body if you eat greasy burgers and fries everyday or have a rewarding relationship if you keep making the same mistakes with your partner. The only way to get what you want out of life is to make changes where you need them.

Everything starts with a thought, your attitude, your mindset. If you have a negative outlook or a limited view of what you are capable of achieving, then the effort that you exert in whatever you do will most likely be limited as well. Achievers go the extra mile regardless of the results. Those who dare and go beyond their usual limits are those who often succeed. If you have hit rock bottom, you can choose to wallow in self pity and stay down there or you can tell yourself that it is time to take a different approach as the only way to go for you is up.

Most people are compelled to change because of some painful experience like bankruptcy, a job layoff, a failed marriage, or a serious illness. I am no exception to this fact, I give a lot of credit to my past pain for giving me the motivation to succeed.Its not the only reason of course; but the decision to change, while voluntary, is often triggered by a painful event.

However, it is not enough to know that you need to change your mindset as mere thoughts are useless unless accompanied by concrete action. Whatever you do, don’t wait until it’s too late to change and for those who are in pain right now, to use that pain to make a positive change!!
