Have you being desiring to be rich? I want you to know that getting rich is the function of what you desire and what you think in your quest to become rich. Some even say that it is being lucky. Others believe that it is very difficult no matter how you try. Well, the fact remains that what ever you desire and work towards it, you will eventually achieve it. This is why the bible said “as a man thinks so shall he be.”
According to Zig Ziglar, many years ago as a young aspiring speaker, he heard an old speaker who was quite philosophical say that you are where you are because that is exactly where you want to be. He thought about this statement, decided it was the “wisdom of the ages” and verbalized it in his own presentations.
Over a period of time, a series of events took place that convinced him that this statement was not true in his case. He was broke, in debt and down in the dumps. He wanted to be rich very rich and excited about his future. It came through loud and clear that he was where he was what he was because of the decisions and choices he had made in his life.
He made those choices based on the information he had, much of which was erroneous. The reality is, if you are given given the wrong directions to go from “point A” to “point B,” you are not going to reach “point B” unless you change directions. It is equally true that if you are given the wrong directions on how to move from broke and in debt to being successful and rich. I mean very rich. You are not going to end up at the place you want to be.
One important decision you can make even as you read these words is to think about what Thomas Sikking said: “you are not the product of a broken home, a devastated economy, a world in the Upheaval of war, a minority group, a family of drunkards or a poverty-ridden neighborhood. You are the product of your own thinking processes and whatever you are thinking about today is the cornerstone of your tomorrow.”
If someone else has abused you in the past, it is alright to give them credit for fouling up your past, but do not give them permission to ruin your present and your future. Take control of your thoughts and your future. Determine that you will be very. Make specific plans to do so, follow these principles of getting rich and you will see yourself within the shortest period of tome joining the richest people in the world.
