Want to know how to become wealthy right now? You could play the lottery or give the roulette wheel a shot. You do know that the odds are against you, don't you? Want to do it better?
Start imagining what it would be like to be rich. Imagine that you are sitting in front of a computer, which is a very cool machine. It can keep you busy, teach you things, give you work, and more. Think about how the richest people in the world lived 200 years ago. They didn't have computers, TVs, cars, refrigerators, flush toilets, or modern medicines.
Think about how many millions of people RIGHT NOW would gladly take your place. If you think you're poor, there are probably some people who would think you're rich. It depends on who you ask, doesn't it? Others think about how much better their lives would be if they had as much as you do. You think about how much better your life would be if you had even more money.
There's no doubt that money can make life better. Those who tell you otherwise are either lying or can't think of anything else. But you can get rich by living in a different way long before you get rich by whatever measure or goal you have. You can learn how to get rich by enjoying the money you already have. If you don't first learn how to enjoy life, you might not be able to enjoy wealth even if you get it.
Who is really richer: someone with a lot of money and things who is stressed out and bored all the time, or someone who is happy with what he has, no matter how little? If you appreciate what you have, you WILL get more out of life. You should plan for the future if you want to make more money, but you can get rich today by being thankful for what you already have.
Part Two of "How to Get Rich Today"
Isn't money a blessing as well as an amazing and interesting thing that people made? It's the essence of everything and everyone in the world that you might want or need. Why not use it more? Here are some simple reminders of things you already know about how to get rich.
- Figure out what really matters to you. I've seen more than one person waste an investment that could have helped them get richer on things that didn't matter to them. Self-control doesn't mean denying yourself everything you want, but it should mean doing what you REALLY want in the long run.
- Find out how to handle money. If you watch those "Where Are They Now?" shows, you'll quickly see that it's easier to lose millions than to make them. How many well-known people have gone broke in a few short years? About 1,897. Well, no one really knows, but the lesson is clear. If you want to get rich and stay rich, you need to know how to handle your money. Why don't you start to learn?
- Make a plan to get more money. Pick one of the many ways to do it and work it. If you fail, try again, but don't give up. You can get rich quickly or slowly. But don't just think about becoming wealthy. Write down your goals and take the steps you need to.
How to get rich today is to enjoy what you have and make a plan to get more.
