Adding a Deadline to a Dream Creates Goals
Remember as you dream that it’s your life and your goals. Dreams have the power to become goals, and effectively change a vision into reality. Remember your vision is not your mother’s list, society’s list or your child’s list. If buying something for others or driving an expensive car is at the top of your list, try to examine why. Are you making choices based on guilt or insecurity? Or is this goal motivated byaa deeply ingrained dream that you want to accomplish? If you’re not sure, ask yourself if this choice is a result of your emotionally reactive Money Nerve and explore your intentions.
Prioritizing Your Needs
Think of what’s most important to you. What do you want and why do you want it? Once you move away from the negative emotions that pinch your Money Nerve and head toward a more giving and empowering motivation, you may find that money will become a means to an end. I am not sure whether I have ever been passionate about crunching numbers; however, I am passionate about helping other people. I assist people to manage their money effectively by being the best accountant I can be, which is also financially rewarding.
Follow Your Heart
Pursuing your passion and following your dream often results in financial rewards, especially when you set thoughtful goals. When people can achieve financial stability, I love to celebrate their success. Are you ready to celebrate your success?
ASK FOR IT
You should ask for the things you want every day. Asking for help puts you in a state of mind that helps you recognize you are not alone and there is something greater than you at work. It also lets others know what is important to you. Putting yourself in that mental state allows you to be humble enough to become aware of a larger reality, and to accept help with an open heart.
Creating Small Daily Habits
Whether you get to that state by praying daily or by being inspired by Napoleon Hill’s book, Think and Grow Rich, you unleash the power of your mind. One habit – opening yourself up to reflection or meditation, allows you to create quiet space every day. This practice results in a better alignment of your thoughts and your actions
Positive Energy
You never know how you’re affecting people with the choices you make. Money is no different. You may not be able to control when or how your money decisions are perceived, used or squandered or even paid back, but you can control what you do! Somewhere in the universe, there is a karmic piggy bank with your name on it.
MAKE A PLAN
Now that you know more about yourself and can identify your Money Nerve, it’s time to create clear monetary objectives. For more positive results when planning a lifestyle change, be sure to include short-term, mid-range, and long-term financial goals. Success with smaller steps or achieving a short-range goal will boost your confidence and make the bigger steps easier to accomplish. Keep your dreams in mind as you move forward with purpose.
