We all know how nice it is lying on the beach, soaking up the sunray`s and enjoying life with the tide lapping in the distance. What a beautiful picture it creates in our minds. However I want to reflect on this and ask you to think of this scenario as your mindset in your life. The beach life I just spoke of being the financial enjoyment in your life. Spending that makes you feel good. Yes its nice but you can`t spend your life on the beach as you will be broke. You should only go there when the sun is out. When the money is available. When its winter plan for the sunny days. Save your money and treat yourself to the beach.
However a very large percentage of people enjoy the beach too much. They don`t like to leave the beach and cross the road to where they can find abundance. They connect themselves to the beach with a mental chain. Even when it rains they stay on the beach because it`s comfortable for them. The problems happen when the tide comes in. And it will always come in at some point. The tides are your financial restrains. If you dont leave the beach and earn your abundance then the tides will come in and trap you. But this is what far too many people do! They stay on the beach and let the tide come in. They underestimate how far it will come in and they end up with their head below the water suffocating, drowning. Eventually the tide will go back out and you flop back on the beach.
After such a scary time people should learn from this as it is the way the world works. We can`t change this. But they don`t tend to change and they stay on the nice beach in the sun because its comfortable for them. Alot of these people know they can break the mental chain and leave the beach. They also know that those excited and happy people in the boats and yachts had left the beach. They can still visit it whenever they want. They are living abundance! So why dont they leave the beach to the big world and create the abundance that is their god given right to have in their lives? Fear.
FEAR!
We will call this fear the main road they will have to cross in order to get to the land of abundance. And after all what if they dont like the place and they can`t get back or they get lost? What will happen then? They will never see the beach again! Well, the beach will always be there with the sun, sand, water and the good feeling. But the rain will always come and so will the tide (the financial hard times) Why not just risk crossing the road? Its really not as hard as it seems and you will find all the information you need in that big world to discover that abundance. You can still take a day trip to the beach when its sunny (reward yourself) and in return for this you can life a good life! You can get the boat or the yacht. But most of all you will never get caught out from the financial tides!
Success is about security. Success is about living a good life. Enjoyment is about living a good life. Spending what you dont have because it makes you feel good (going to the beach when the tide is coming in) is NOT living a good life! Take a risk! Leave the beach! Cross the road! Go get the good life you deserve.
All the best
Live you dreams
