Monday Motivation: Live The Life You Want To Live

 

Go ahead and begin living the life you want to live…..IN YOUR HEAD.  The mind is so powerful that if you visualize yourself in the place you want to be, and you truly believe and think you belong in that place – that’s where you’ll eventually end up in due time.

There’s a book by John Assaraf titled The Answer that touches on how to grow a business, achieve financial freedom, and live an extraordinary life by applying the law of attraction to your world.  The law of attraction simple means reprogramming your conscious brain to envision positive things for your life.  The more you envision these positive things, the more your subconscious brain is persuaded.  As a result, you will automatically work hard towards what you believe you should have, and positive things will come.

In this book, Assaraf lists five key elements that must be in place in order to achieve major success.

  • You must find something that stirs your soul.
  • You must become excellent at it.
  • You must recondition your mind to believe you can have it and achieve it.
  • You must understand how to make money at it.
  • You must take daily action.

Write these five things down, read them constantly and begin applying them to your life.  Change your mindset and the rest will follow.

Happy Monday Positive People!
