When I first started this journey, I focused on two things: self-fulfillment and wealth-building. In my studies, I kept coming back to a very important phrase I was once told by a mentor: “The purpose in life is to find the purpose of your life.”
That phrase was life-changing for me, but I want to translate that for you and show you exactly what it takes for you to step into your life of wealth and happiness.
Once I’d come to the realization that the purpose of my life—and yours—is to live a comfortable life of wealth and happiness, I created a list of 10 rules that I abide by every single day.
These 10 rules fuel my financially free life, and you should view them as your 10 wealth commandments if you want to live a life of luxury…
Rule 1: Expect something great to happen daily.
When you work hard, rewards shouldn’t surprise you. If you’re following these rules, you should expect great things to fall upon you.
Rule 2: Treat others how you feel you should be treated.
This one may sound cliché, but it’s a popular phrase for a reason. You should expect to give a lot if you want to receive a lot.
Rule 3: Don’t waste your time trying to change things you can’t.
Too many people get caught up in trying to alter things that are concrete. There’s plenty of new and exciting things to create; don’t waste your time on the things you can’t change.
Rule 4: Focus on your task at hand, not the results you strive for.
By focusing on a small portion of your task at hand you’ll achieve the results you want, but if you keep your eyes on the finish line there’s a good chance you’re going to trip yourself up.
Rule 5: Always assume that others have good intentions.
I would like to assume that nobody is out to get you. People mean to do well… they just express it in different ways.
Rule 6: Block out negativity and negative people.
This one’s a no-brainer. If somebody keeps telling you that you’ll never achieve the life you want, shut them out of your life completely. They’ll only hold you back.
Rule 7: Reward yourself with something small each day.
It’s very important to acknowledge your hard work when you’ve reached a milestone. I’m not telling you to pop the champagne every day (you can do that when you’ve reached your life of wealth) but setting small rewards like a nice meal will keep you focused.
Rule 8: Unnecessary distractions will keep you from wealth.
Turn off the TV and put the phone down. There’s time for work and there’s time for play; don’t get the two tangled together.
Rule 9: Be grateful for everything.
Nobody deserves the world, that’s why you just must take it. But remember to be grateful for it.
Rule 10: The best is yet to come.
Each accomplishment you achieve should be used as a steppingstone to reach the next. You’re not done exceeding until you have no boss, no job, and no unnecessary responsibilities.
Taking these 10 rules as your wealth commandments will lead you to your purpose in life of living happily and comfortably.
Wealth is attracted to those who succeed… I know you’re one of them.
