Do you want to get into the prosperity habit? A habit is an acquired behaviour pattern that is regularly followed until it has become involuntary, according to the dictionary.
Many of you may be thinking that being prosperous is all down to luck, and that some people are luckier than others. However, that is not the case, prosperity is a habit which can be developed so it’s important that you get into the habit of creating good daily habits rather than bad ones. In order for a habit to grow it must be fed regularly, the same as you would feed a child, or a seed that has been planted in the ground. For a habit to die it must be starved.
Grow Your Good Habits
Therefore it’s important, especially if you want to become prosperous, that you grow your good habits and starve your bad ones. Then, eventually your bad habits will wither away and be replaced by the good ones.
Samuel Johnson once said “The chains of habit are too weak to be felt until they are too strong to be broken.”
However in order to form new good habits you first have to break the bad ones. The breaking of a bad habit is a pre-requisite for change. To be successful at breaking your bad habits it takes motivation, desire and will. You can only go on to build new good habits once the old ones have been broken.
Make The Most Of Every Opportunity
Every day we are faced with opportunities that are sometimes disguised as challenges or difficulties. If you develop a habit of making the most of every opportunity that comes your way, you will never miss an opportunity again. To get into the prosperity habit you should face challenges head on like the hero in a big blockbuster film. Facing your challenges head on will enable you to grow and flourish despite the hardships that you may face.
In order to recognise an opportunity you must adopt an opportunists mindset. That doesn’t mean to say that you should take advantage of other people’s misfortune, and capitalise on it in a selfish way. Always remember that opportunities should be taken for the benefit of everyone, not only for yourself. So next time opportunity knocks on your door – open the door, because if you don’t someone else will.
Create Potential For Yourself And Others
If you make the most of every opportunity that you can, you will be creating the potential for wealth and prosperity for others as well as yourself. Too many people only think about their own security and possess a fixed or closed mindset that consists of lack and scarcity. In doing so they limit their potential and close doors to their future possibilities. By taking challenges and circumstances and turning them into an opportunity you create wealth for other people and become a transmitter of wealth. This will in turn benefit you because you will be creating wealth for yourself by helping others become prosperous.
Oprah Winfrey said “Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity”.
Prepare yourself for whatever your next opportunity might be, and grab it with both hands. Look for the good in every struggle or challenge, because you never know, your next opportunity might be today.
View Opportunities With A Sense Of Adventure
Every opportunity should come with a sense of adventure rather than a sense of trepidation and fear. If you feel intimidated by it then it will rob you of your capacity to grow and create wealth. Know that it is possible to turn every opportunity or defeat into success.
See the end result, not just the beginning, and look for the good in every challenge or struggle that you encounter. Consider ways in which it could possibly benefit you rather than simply seeing it as an obstacle. If you view challenges in this way you can turn any crisis into creativity. When you can do that then you will have developed a prosperity mindset. Adopt a growth mindset and look to continuously seek more knowledge because knowledge is invaluable and can turn an opportunity into wealth.
Your Greatest Potential Lies Within Your Greatest Challenge
Avoid looking for the get rich quick schemes or the easy ways to get rich because most of the time your greatest potential lies within your greatest challenge. If you want to get into the prosperity habit, grasp your opportunities with a single-minded focus like a laser beam focusing on a small point of contact. Then develop the capacity to recognise a situation that you can use to create an opportunity for the benefit of yourself and others.
