Shift
this - touch this - feel this!
This is
what I was asked to do. "Shift this" - he said, with hands
pointing to both sides of his head. "Touch this", he said,
putting his hand upon his heart. "Feel this", he said,
using his right thumb and first two fingers in the universal money
feeling motion.
He was talking about the psychology of wealth. If we surround ourselves
with voices that tell us mediocrity is ok - it's good to strive
for that and pat ourselves on the back, when we accept our limitations,
then that is as far as we will progress. We put a ceiling on our
ambition and a ceiling on our potential for wealth. Pat put it simply.
One man's ceiling is another man's floor. In the skyscraper of wealth,
we can live in the basement or the penthouse. Where do YOU want
to live? Then why aren't you living there? I am assuming, like me,
you want to live in the penthouse, right?
We are all conditioned in life, to accept "what is" -
this is all we know. We are conditioned to accept a dominant focus
in our lives. If you were asked what you want in life, how many
of you would say you want to get out of debt, forever? So, you want
to get out of debt, right? So, what are you focused on? Debt, right?
This is your dominant focus. What is your dream? Think about that
for a moment. What was your dominant focus? Was it never to work
again? Was your dominant thought about work?
"Shift this, touch this, feel this".
"Shift this" - change your dominant focus! Change the
way you look at yourself - change the way you think. Don't focus
on what life has been in the past for you, or you will repeat the
past. Don't have focus lists on why things are the way they are.
Make a list of your dreams!! Then - here comes the hard part - believe
in your dream!! "Touch this!" Engage with all your heart!!
Get excited about your dreams!! Invest positive emotions in your
dreams. Guess what comes next? "Feel this!!" The wealth
you dream about!! Every day, focus on your dreams. List them, post
them on a wall, the fridge - remind yourself every day, what they
are. Live your dream - "Shift this! Touch this! And Feel this!"
This is how millionaires think. They believe in their dreams. They
invest in their futures. And do they "feel this?" You
bet they do!!

there were only walls" (Joseph Campbell 1904-1987)
