Working with what we already have, where we already are, is a must when it comes to life improvement. When we spend all of our time wishing, hoping, and thinking “if only I had more money” or “if only I had more friends” or even “if only I was better” is not only futile, it could also be dangerous to your progress.
This morning, the following was in my email inbox. I think it illustrates this point perfectly:
You have more than enough, right NOW. You have more than enough resources. You have more than enough money. You’ve got more than enough space and time. You already have the right contacts.
It’s all in what you are doing with what you’ve already got.
“Show me what a man does with his spare time and where he spends his money,†Napoleon Hill said, “and I’ll tell you where he’ll be in ten years.â€
If you are not using the money you already have wisely, just adding more money (that you spend in the same fashion) won’t solve your problems.
If you already waste your time with disorganization, a lack of foresight and planning, procrastination, poor habits and crisis, then even if you “found†more time, it would quickly be eaten up by more of the same.
If you are not honoring and building the current relationships you have, it won’t matter how many more you add. You’ll just treat each of them the same.
You already have million dollar ideas…
You already have the money you need to begin them…
You already have the time you need to implement your plan.
You already have every tool and technique, resource and riches that you need to build any success you desire – IF you will just start to use WHAT YOU DO HAVE wisely.
