talk yourself wealthy

Have you ever caught yourself noticing that you haven’t yet reached your goal? When you do, how do you feel?

Do you feel a sense of frustration – why is it that you aren’t there yet? Why aren’t things happening as quickly as you wanted for them to?

Many people think that it would be great to win the lottery and to have millions tucked away. But think beyond that for a moment and you’ll realise that what they really want is peace of mind, and to feel good. Intuitively, they know that they aren’t feeling as good as they could be. Hence, the sense of something missing - a sense of lack.

Now, just for a moment, remember back to a time when you felt on top of the world, when everything seemed just perfect. What was different? Could it be that you didn’t feel that feeling of something missing, that sense of lack?

We feel lack when we see something we want and notice that we don’t yet have it. What if you noticed the enjoyment and fulfilment that you get from the process of reaching your goal instead? Like the gardener who’s planted his crop, watching out everyday for the first shoots, but never thinking, "Will it ever come?"

Instead of saying, "Oh, it’s not here yet, will it ever come?", you say, "I’m still creating it, I’m still playing with it, I’m still putting it together, I’m still putting the finishing touches to it, it’s still in the process and it’s all happening, it’s exciting just thinking about it and anticipating it, and it feels good to know that I am still alive because I can still feel what it feels like to want something, and I love this process of watching things come together bit by bit and I see all the pieces of the puzzle coming together and each morning I wake up thrilled at the thought of what the day has in store for me." And you feel the joy of that.

Talk, talk, talk about all that you want. Talk, talk, talk about all that brings you enjoyment – be it a memory or a vision. Talk, talk, talk so that you feel good - all over!

And here’s the thing. When you notice all the things that bring you fun, joy and laughter and you take enjoyment in what you’re doing, the money happens of its own accord... because your attitude is different, your behaviour is different, the actions you take are different, and so too are your results.

So go ahead - talk yourself wealthy!

Action Points

1. Look out for all the pieces of what you want coming together.

2. Instead of noticing that you are still "not yet there", take enjoyment in the action you are taking now to get you there, no matter how small you think it is.

3. Revel in the excitement and anticipation of the day that you reach your goal.

4. Talk to yourself and to anyone who will listen and join in, talking about everything that excites and makes you both feel good.

"All our progress is an unfolding, like a vegetable bud. You have first an instinct, then an opinion, then a knowledge as the plant has root, bud, and fruit. Trust the instinct to the end, though you can render no reason." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Enjoyment is not a goal, it is a feeling that accompanies important ongoing activity." - Paul Goodman
