If You Want To Improve Life Abundance, Act On That Desire Now
If you want to improve life, you must make that goal something that you invest time in each and everyday.
I conducted hiring interviews for two companies that I've worked for previously. I learned a lot about people during those interviews. One thing I saw quite a bit of was the desire almost everyone has for improvement.
The next thing I learned is that very few people turn that desire into the action needed to improve life abundance.
I know you want your life to be better. You want to see improvement in your spirituality, your finances, your health, etc. You want to live a life of abundance and happiness.
Be very honest with yourself now. Is this desire you have to improve life something you act on each day, or is it more a thought in your mind?
The first step to improvement in anything is to think it, yes. But I've found in my dealings with people that everything stops with that thought.
It's sad, really. I've worked with so many people with great potential who never realize that potential because they allow the minutiae of daily life to get in the way of their abundance dreams.
I remember one time I was sitting in the home of a family back when I was building my financial services business. They were great people - fun loving, pleasant to talk with, etc. But it was NBA playoff time and the Lakers were on TV while I was there.
Now, I'm the biggest Lakers fan myself. Even as a kid in New York before I moved to Los Angeles, the Lakers were my team. But I was there to talk about their entire financial future. Yet, the husband insisted on watching the Lakers while trying to pay attention to our discussion.
He said he wanted to improve life for his family, but his actions suggested differently to me. Needless to say, they never did enact that plan that would have turned into financial improvement for them.
So ask yourself, have you identified what actions will improve life best for you? Do you invest time on them daily? Or, do you allow that cool TV show or sporting event that's on right now to interfere with your big picture of life?
If you do, don't get down. It's no big deal if you recognize that you may have some habits that aren't allowing you to improve your life the way you'd like. It's a big deal if you ignore what I'm saying and continue those habits!
Bottom line? Enjoy your life, but sprinkle in a few daily activities that will improve life.
- 20 minutes of exercise
- Read a book on real estate investing
- Read a book on spirituality, abundance, or inner peace
- Listen to a self improvement CD
- Read a good Abundance website - oh, you're already doing that ;-)
These are just a few examples of daily activities that will help you improve life. They don't take much time, still leaving time each day for things you like to do just for fun or to feed your soul.
String together these actions over a consistent time period and watch out. You may just improve your life enough to create the abundance you desire!
Change your life,
Matt
