Uncertain economic times are a perfect time to begin your wealth creation journey. Any time is a good time, but with the pain of uncertainty comes a little extra motivation. So lets use it.

How? Excellent question. Glad you asked. We will dig into that in a moment. First we need to talk about... Why?

Have you ever fantasized about being rich? What does your fantasy look like? Nice cars? Huge house staffed with servants? Expensive cloths and toys? Those are common fantasies.

BUT. What would you do with your time? How would you spend your days if you didn’t have to work for money all the time? What would be the point of your life if you had a lot of free time and all the money you could ever need?

Here is my point. Having money solves a certain set of problems. It also creates a whole new set. One of those is direction. Being rich is like having a huge load of potential energy. It is rip roaring and ready to go. It wants nothing more than to be in motion. How will you channel it? If you don’t know where you are going you are going to crash. And a lot of money crashes a lot harder than a little.

I want to state for the record that desiring money is great. Going after money is better. Getting money is even better. But having a direction in life and channeling your wealth towards your goals is the best feeling in the world.

It doesn’t matter what your mission in life is, but it does matter that you uncover it and go for it. Yes I said uncover it.

I believe that you were born with your own personal mission already programmed into your DNA. I'm not talking about destiny. I love my free will. It's the thing that if you were working at it every day, and making progress every day it would make you happier than anything else you could imagine.

For some people its family. For others it's helping less fortunate people get food and shelter. For me it is attaining personal freedom, and being a beacon for others who are seeking theirs. I know one lady who loves to help people find ways to reach their goals; she loves seeing others succeed.

What ever your thing is, it is most important that you discover and work on it for the rest of your life, or until you reach its conclusion. Then start out with your next mission.

Without personal mission money is just a really big headache! The more money involved, the bigger the ache.

Most people who win lotteries end up broke and or deeper in debt. If they are really unlucky they end up with a really expensive drug habit or alcoholism too. Why? Because there was no direction to take with their money. So they went with there unconscious urges. Not the best prescription.

Obviously this doesn't happen to all lottery winners. I heard of one couple that became philanthropists and started a foundation to help poverty stricken people in Africa or somewhere. But they had a mission.

So while wishing to be rich... wish right along to know exactly why you want to be rich, or you may find it’s not what you hoped it would be.

Having a personal mission and seeing it accomplished to some degree is the most rewarding thing you can experience. Go ahead and get rich so you can achieve success on your true path.

Go to my blog and read some of the posts. It is all valuable stuff. You will find self-development posts, opportunities, and some good stuff to chew on.

Even if you never become rich in money, if you uncover and commit to your personal mission you will feel incredibly wealthy!

Live a fantastic life!
