Everything you think you “know” about living your life your way is almost certainly wrong. And the good news is – there is nothing wrong with that. Because, let’s face it, you can only go by the things that you have learned at school, education and other experiences in your life. Wherever you live in the world, you probably went to school and learned the basic ABC's and 123’s, something about history, something about art, and other things you probably can't even remember now.
You may have taught yourself how to pass examinations and to please your teacher and parents. However you may not have any clue as to how to go about pleasing yourself. You may have learned how to stay out of trouble with the authorities at your school, but may not have really grasped the principles of persuasion, influence and leadership.
The chances are you may have learned something about the human body but what you learned probably didn’t help you to gain a healthy body. You probably studied about the great people of history but you probably never learned how to live by the principles which made great.
In financial matters you probably learned how to count money and to add and subtract to give change but you may not know as much as you would like about earning big money and building wealth.
All in all, what this boils down to is the fact that what you learned at school did little to prepare you for life and help you understand how the world really works.
Still not convinced? Well take a look at a few facts:
Less than one fifth of the world’s population controls over four fifths of the wealth. Think about that? Why is that so?
The majority of people living in developed and industrialized countries throughout the world are either overweight or obese.
The majority of people from North America live from paycheck to paycheck and have no savings. A frightening thought when you consider that North America is one of the wealthiest areas of the world.
Huge numbers of people are massive amount of debt in North America and Europe.
Now let's think about your own life. Do you live the life you really want?
Are you happy with your level of self confidence and inner peace?
Do you earn enough money to have a sense of financial security? Are you able to buy the things you want for you and your family?
Are you happy with the state of your physical health?
If you were to die tomorrow, what kind of a legacy would you leave behind in the hearts and minds of the people you love most?
If any of the above questions caused an unsettled feeling in your heart, a sense of dissatisfaction, shame or even guilt, then one thing is certain:
The rules which you learned to live your life according to aren’t producing the results you really want.
As depressing as this might seem, it's actually a very good place to start when it comes to fulfilling your dreams and becoming your best self.
Why is this?
Because dissatisfaction presents you with an opportunity to change your approach and thus to get the results you really want. But this starts with accepting the fact that the way the world works is different than what you might now believe. If this were not true, you’d probably be a whole lot more satisfied with your life and have more of what you really want.
