Whacky title I know. I want to address an issue of keeping up with the Jones'. What a crock. In the past twenty years as I have walked this path of continued personal growth one of the most interesting things is helping people with goal setting. Invariably once someone begins to set goals they go something like this; I want to make 10,000 a month from my part-time venuture by X date, I would like a nice vineyard and Villa in Italy and yea I gotta have the new BMW M6 or the Lamborghini Diablo is the car for me.
I think a very important point is being missed with those types of goals. Now before you get fired up, let me say that I don't have anything against second homes abroad or expensive sports cars, in fact I love that stuff. It is JUST stuff though. Here is where the train wreck comes. If we chase the stuff as opposed to chasing who we are to become we can get derailed.
We all are trying to learn and apply the law of attraction to gain success. The challenge is in each person's definition of success. How do you define it personally? I would encourage you to dig deeper than the accumulation of material possessions. Why do you want to possess that BMW? There is
always an underlying reason. You may say I want to able to drive a safer and more reliable vehicle. OK, fair enough but wouldn't a Volvo wagon or many other vehicles work as well? What I am trying to get at is an encouragement to define those emotional reasons you want to align yourself with success.
It would seem that generally when you finally distill all of the reasons of chasing material wealth it comes down to the desire for happiness and fulfillment. In this regard the Law of Attraction is much more responsive. You may have heard the mantra of BE-DO-HAVE? I love that because it is in the act of BEING that supports the rest.
The good news is that if you bypass all of the fluff and focus on the being part, you will have all of the material possessions you could possibly want. The state of happiness, contentment, love and gratitude for what IS, allows you to get what you truly want. So turbo charge the law of attraction by focusing on and acknowledging who you truly are inside. Get off the ROAD to happiness and success and BE successful NOW through happiness.
