Four Principles That Will Make You Rich
"It's not your fault if you were born poor, but it's your fault if you die poor." There's no reason why you should live in poverty. Wealth is waiting for you, but you have to make up your mind if you want it in your life."
- Bill Gates
A person's value or his level of success is commonly defined by the person's net worth. Many believe that the ratio of assets and liabilities, investments and annual income is what defines a person's financial status. Everyone wants and needs money. However, our society also has a conflicting opinion of money. We hear things such as "Money is the root of all evil" and we feel jealous of our neighbor's new toys.
In reality, wanting money is actually a noble thing. Money is a powerful resource that allows us to live our lives to the highest purpose. We all live for the body, the mind and the soul and whether you know it or not, we all have a purpose in life. Money is a great resource that aids us to live our life to its fullest expression.
So can anyone obtain money? If you want to become the top 5% performer in any field, you absolutely can, given that you undergo proper training and practice. The same goes for building wealth. If you know the principles of making money and you put it into action, you will find money. It's as much of a universal law as the law of gravity.
There are (4) principles to breaking out of your limited past and forging a future of wealth and abundant money.
1. Make Peace With Money. Be Comfortable With Your Desire.
"Whatever may be said in praise of poverty, the fact remains that it is not possible to live a really complete or successful life unless one is rich. No one can rise to his greatest possible height in talent or soul development unless he has plenty of money, for to unfold the soul and to develop talent he must have many things to use, and he cannot have these things unless he has money to buy them with."
- Wallace Wattles, The Science of Getting Rich
It doesn't matter what your goals are, the very first step to living the life of your dreams is to accept the fact that it is okay if you want money. As mentioned before, money is a great resource that allows us to express our life to the fullest.
Most of us are conditioned into hating money. We see wealthy people as greedy, as if their wealth is depriving others. This cannot be further from the truth. Never feel guilty or scared to want money. Do not distance yourself from money. There is nothing wrong in wanting wealth. The desire to be rich is really your desire to live a fuller life. It's a noble compulsion.
Appreciate your urge to be wealthy and your vision of living a life of abundance. Understanding and embracing this fact will change everything. You will realize that there are unlimited ways in which you can make large sums of money. It will come to you quickly and easily for the highest good of all concerned.
2. Understand The Universal Law Of Abundance.
Money is everywhere- if you believe it and can move from a mindset of scarcity to one of abundance. I previously showed you how my parents failed to make their dreams a reality. During his struggles, my father lost his confidence, suffered from depression and regretted his decision to relocate to New Zealand. Although it wasn't spoken aloud, we all knew that my father blamed New Zealand for his failures. The slow economy, small population and the lack of opportunities were easy targets for his blame.
I respect my father for all that he has done. He is the most diligent and hard-working person that I know. But a person who lives a life of a victim cannot live a life of abundance... no matter how hard he works. This is the essence of this second principle of making money. You have to understand that money is everywhere. Don't blame your circumstances because there is always money to be earned.
Getting rich is not the result of your environment. If it were, everyone who lived in a prosperous area would be rich and everyone else would be poor. This simply is not the case. We see rich and poor living side by side in the same environment. There are enough opportunities for you to make money wherever you are.
Never live the life of a victim. Look for ways to solve problems, look to add value to other's lives and the money will follow.
3. You Don't Need Higher Education For Higher Wealth.
"Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune."
- Jim Rohn
Aside from blaming the environment and the circumstances, people with a victimized mentality have the tendency to blame their lack of formal education for their failures in amassing wealth. But did you know that only a small percentage of self-made millionaires are highly educated? In fact, most of the self-made billionaires on the Forbes 400 Richest Americans List either did not go to college or dropped out of college.
You don't need higher education to make money. It's just an excuse.
Of course, education is important. The education most of us get in our early years is crucial. But when it comes to making money, schooling couldn't be more irrelevant. Conventional school education does not teach us how to make money. What we really need to learn is how money works and how you can make it work for you. The masses are convinced that acquiring masters and doctorate degrees are the way to gain wealth, while the rich understand that acquiring, and continually seeking out specific knowledge is the secret to financial freedom.
Steve Siebold, self-made millionaire and author of "How Rich People Think," researched more than 1,200 of the world's wealthiest people over the past three decades and found that: "Many world-class performers have little formal education, and have amassed their wealth through the acquisition and subsequent sale of specific knowledge."
"Successful men, in all callings, never stop acquiring specialized knowledge related to their major purpose, business, or profession. Those who are not successful usually make the mistake of believing that the knowledge-acquiring period ends when on finishes school,"
- Napoleon Hill, Think And Grow Rich
4. Take Action
"The most life destroying word of all is the word tomorrow,"
- Robert Kiyosaki, Rich Dad & Poor Dad
"Most people know what to do, but few people actually do what they know. Knowing is not enough! You must take action."
- Anthony Robbins, Re-awaken the Giant Within
Becoming rich can only be achieved if you combine
1) What you think with
2) What you do.
You are the source, the generator and the reason for everything that happens to you. Now that you've embraced your noble compulsion to be rich and stopped blaming your circumstances, environment and the absence of higher education (aforementioned three principles above), it's now time to act.
Your life's course is based upon the actions that you choose to take or fail to take. Taking action may be the most challenging part out of the four principles of making money. This is because actions that bring massive results normally require you to be outside of your comfort zones and take risks.
Anyone can dream of becoming wealthy, recite self-affirmations and create their own vision boards based on the popular law of attraction.
But not everyone implements their goals into action. This is why only a handful of people get wealthy. Action is the missing key that transforms visions into reality.

My Six Principles to Creating a Dream Life
So you want to live your dream life! That's why you've been searching for answers online - to discover the principles that govern success in life and bring you the life you have always desired!
I identify 6 main principles that I believe are necessary for living your dream life -
1/ Accept Your Life
2/ Choose Your Dream
3/ Improve Your Health
4/ Increase Your Wealth
5/ Better Your Relationships
6/ Aim for Eternity
I will be going into more detail regarding these principles in subsequent posts but briefly, these are the main issues -
FIRST PRINCIPLE: Accept Your Life
Although you may not realise it now (or even want to face it), the truth is, everything that has ever happened to you has some bearing on the dream life you want to lead. All experiences, both good and bad, that have happened in your life, should be included in your search for the life of your dreams. A dream life that is merely an escape from a painful existence is not a dream life at all, since it doesn't take into account the truth of who you are. Being able to integrate your more negative experiences leads to self-acceptance, which can then be leveraged into your plans to create a life that truly fulfills you and makes you happy.
SECOND PRINCIPLE: Choose Your Dream
Following on from the more accurate self-awareness of ourselves gained from the First Principle, we now are in a position to choose a dream and mode of existence which can then satisfy the person we now realise we are. Choosing a dream entails creating an exciting vision that inspires you and makes you want to get up in the morning each day, then focusing on achieving it by the adoption of SMART goals that bring you closer to your desired destination.
THIRD PRINCIPLE: Improve Your Health
No serious attempt to create a better future can ignore the importance of bodily health. No dream life can be forthcoming if you are unsatisfied with your appearance, are overweight or suffer from ill-health. A commitment to physical fitness and a healthy lifestyle will give you the energy you need to create your vision and the pride engendered by creating the body you've always wanted will be a major boost to your self-esteem and confidence, which are both factors that will dramatically increase your ability to achieve your life goals.
FOURTH PRINCIPLE: Increase Your Wealth
Although this seems like a no-brainer, since practically everyone dreams of living a life where money is no object, it is necessary to think outside the box and live the mindset of a millionaire if you want to seriously achieve the goal of wealth creation. Traditional attitudes of "work hard and everything will be O.K." must be discarded in favour of the concept of giving yourself and your talents to the world (rather than expecting the world to give you what you want). These ideas and others form the basis of material success and will bring you closer to the goal you seek.
FIFTH PRINCIPLE: Better Your Relationships
Our connections and relationships with others have a major effect on our personal happiness - there is little point in planning to be a millionaire and have a wonderful life when your relationships are in the gutter, you are on the brink of divorce or consistently fail to attract a romantic partner with whom you can share your dream life. Handling this area of your life will greatly increase your personal happiness and is a major piece of the puzzle to living a meaningful life.
SIXTH PRINCIPLE: Aim for Eternity
Having created your dream life, there is no point in having one without considering the ultimate meaning of life. Since death will rob us of all our efforts in the end, a focus on tailoring your dream to include Heaven and the hereafter will fine-tune the issues you focus on to include questions of ultimate meaning. Those of a less religious bent should focus on the concept of "legacy". What do you want to be remembered for? Who will benefit from your life after you are gone? What would you like to give back? Considering these issues will lead to the lasting joy that comes from a life well-lived and the peace of a good conscience at point of death.
These are the six main principles for living the dream life you've always wanted! Stay tuned for future posts that will go into these Principles in more detail! Have a great day!
