There are certain times in everyone’s life that decisions must be made at a crossroads that will affect the outcome of the rest of their lives. Typically, we act out either to avoid more pain or to gain pleasure and we don’t always know which one we are seeking, or the circumstances don’t allow us even to identify why we are following a certain path. As an example, an issue that is affecting us all is the exponential unemployment rate. Either we ourselves have been laid off due to circumstances beyond our control, know someone who has, or are directly affected in our daily businesses due to decreased consumer confidence and spending habits.
America has relied so long on the JOB (J.ust O.ver B.roke) mentality and lack of targeted, real life experience schooling that when we lose a job we don’t really know what to do or where to turn for answers, but something in our internal subconscious is telling us not to get another job but to rely upon ourselves and our skill sets without a boss. WHY? The entire ideologies surrounding the corporate life and job mentality is broke and America is drunk thirsty to find new avenues for wealth creation and financial prosperity. Our minds have been so geared towards the outright brainwashing of our media with regards to banking, investing and our overall economic state that we are enslaved and trapped, and have all but lost that human spirit within that drives us all to succeed.
There is however a few simple steps we can take to retrain our thoughts and ideals when it comes to our future, and it is never too late to change our self defeating habits. The first step is typically the hardest for most adults and that is to begin acting like a kid again. You say what? Yes, this is the single biggest step we can take as we break our old patterns of self destruction. Why? Kids are not focused on the outcome, rather on the journey of play and exploration. This seems to be in great contrast to our methods of today. Adults are very adept at watching the stock market as a means to their livelihood. They are typically very good at mastering the mundane of their daily activities. They are creatures of self destructing habits of caffeine induced daily beginnings, road rage traffic, work habits of the carbon copy of yesterday, playing on the internet while their boss is not looking tweeting, looking up old flames on face book and my space or just floating through the day waiting for Dancing with the Stars to start that evening.
Second, we must begin to realize that our entire financial model is broke and it’s not going to get magically fixed by some bureaucrat or bailout in the one world order regime. Do we really think someone in the White House is out for our best interest, or that there will one day be a Santa Claus figure in the Oval Office? Kids are always asking WHY, aren’t they? I know my 5 yr old does. We should embrace that and begin using this to our advantage. With the advent of this Mega Information Era we are able to access massive amounts of information on a variety of topics outside the mainstream media that can actually aid us in our understanding of how America is changing right before our eyes. The why questions of the Federal Reserve, the IRS, the banking cartels, the pharmaceutical industry, the FDA, the list goes on and on can be a very enlightening wakeup call if we are willing to ask the tough why questions.
Ever heard the saying curiosity killed the cat? Children are masters at this invaluable trait and answers can be revealed into the universe if we can get curious about our surroundings again and begin to put ourselves out into the world with our skill sets and mastermind groups. We have all at one time or another in our lives ask the question, isn’t there something I’m missing in life, something better out there for me? Well, the answer is absolutely! We make our own way, period. The book “Science of Getting Rich”, by Wallace D.Wattles, is a great read outlining the systematic processes that take place when we put our original thoughts out into the world and commit to making them happen. The resources of time, money, people and your abilities will all be revealed if we have patience, perseverance and a willingness to step out of our comfort zones.
Lastly, what happens when you tell your child NO? They immediately want to know why and then you can see the negotiation wheels spinning inside their little curious minds can’t you? Why do we lose this over time? Why do we allow our bosses, our financial planners or brokers and society overall control our destiny when there is a whole another world out there that has sprung up in free enterprise? The internet and the revolution that is taking place with the greatest transformation of wealth in history is going on right before our eyes and we must get back the traits from our children and be curious, persistent and willing to fail because we will get back up, we will prosper and we will make this nation rise again. Our kids future depends on it, so isn’t it time we opened our eyes and learned from the most important people in our lives, our kids?
