Want to know a secret? You don’t spend those 9 weeks working more, and yet you become more productive.
If you don’t already have everything you want, you have to ask yourself…”How much time and effort is the life of my dreams worth to me?”
Let’s be real. If it didn’t take any effort or any changes from what you’re doing now, you’d already be incredibly wealthy and wildly successful. If you are, I applaud you for reading this and continuing to grow.
How different would your life be a year from now if you added 365 more hours of positively invested time to your year?
If you get up half an hour earlier and go to bed a half hour later you’ve added an hour a day to your available time, right?
If you normally work a 40-hour week, you’ve just added the equivalent of nine weeks to your year, devoted totally to your personal success. And you thought you didn’t have time for anything else in your life! The only question is, how much do you value creating the life of your dreams? Are you willing to give yourself that time?
Ask yourself these questions and write your answers in your journal:
What would you begin today if you believed you didn’t have to do it by yourself?
Would you like to be incredibly wealthy, full of energy and purpose, living a life that makes you outrageously happy?
Would it be worth getting up a little earlier or missing the first half hour of the news in the morning or at night?
Just to get you started thinking, this has a lot to do with how I can vacation 8-12 weeks a year and still run multiple businesses!
You may be surprised to hear that a secret weapon of multi-millionaires and billionaires that allows them to have what seems like endless days and boundless energy is having a spiritual practice. Spending a few minutes in spiritual contemplation, reading or meditating in the morning can make a huge shift in your ability to have everything you want your life to be – really.
I can tell you from personal experience that in the years I’ve been following a spiritual practice, I’ve seen a tremendous increase in energy, focus, creativity and abundance. That leads to getting more done in less time. And yes, there are many days I don’t feel like getting up early.
But I’ve been doing it long enough that I know the difference in the days I do and the days I don’t. And it’s just not worth the extra time in bed to sacrifice the benefits of the calmness, peace and level of focus and clarity it brings.
You can start with something simple like being grateful for the opportunity of another day. Years ago in Las Vegas I met hypnotist who suggested jumping out of bed every morning and saying what a beautiful day it is, filled with love, opportunity and abundance.
I thought it was a great idea, so I tried it for several days. Jumping out of bed and affirming your day in a loud and energetic way will certainly get your blood pumping. I stopped because it scared my dogs.
Some people find yoga and other types of more meditative exercise to be just the thing to follow their spiritual reading. After a couple of years doing yoga by myself, my ex-husband became a a daily practitioner and still is.
Any type of daily spiritual practice will keep you uplifted while you achieve super success. It will also keep you grounded in the truth of who you are. Every major religion has a book full of great spiritual reading. You could read from different texts and get a broad view of many different beliefs. You may be surprised to find how much common ground there is from one text to another.
A book with no affiliation to any particular religion is A Course in Miracles. It’s one of my favorite sources of spiritual reading. At one point it says, “You would never be afraid if you knew who walked beside you.” I love that quote. It reminds you us that you’re we’re never alone in your our pursuits.
So get started tonight by staying up a little later and devoting that time to creating the life of your dreams.
