If I gave you $1,440 today, how would you spend it?

I suspect you would carefully ponder the best use of it.

I bet you might even apply a portion of it towards
achieving some of your Goals.

And what if I gave you $1,440 tomorrow?

And another $1,440 the next day… and the next day?

How would you invest your $1,440 each day?

Still with me Friend ?

Now what if I gave you $86,400 today?

Would you value those dollars?

Would you apply a portion of them towards your Goals?

And what if I gave you $86,400 tomorrow and the next day
and the next day?

I bet you would pay even closer attention to how you would
invest it, right?

You would make it work for you.

I sure would.

I’m not going to give you $1,440 or $86,400.

You already have the equivalent of it but you may not
realize it.

Those numbers should have tremendous meaning in the scope
of life for both you and I.

You already have 1,440 and 86,400 in your bank account.

We begin each day with 1,440 MINUTES deposited into our
TIME bank account.

We begin each day with 86,400 SECONDS deposited into our
TIME bank account.

And how we VALUE those minutes and seconds is what
determines what they may bring us.

How we spend them and how we INVEST them determines the
quality of our life today and tomorrow.

And when you string the seconds and minutes together to
accumulate in the form hours, days, weeks, months and
years, you determine your destiny.

Much like money can compound with interest, so does our
time.  Invest one hour per day into reading and it might
not seem like much but invest an hour per day into reading
in an area that can improve the quality of your life for a
month or six months or one year and you have the power to
shape your destiny.

We all began today with the same amount of time.

If you consciously value your TIME bank account, you can
transform any area of your life and achieve your Goals.

You are already wealthy.

What makes a person’s life for better or worse is the way
they invest their wealth of minutes. 

What are you doing with your seconds?

How are you investing your minutes?

Everything affects everything…

How you think.

Who you spend them with.

What you do with them.

You may or may not have the dollars at your disposal but
you do have the seconds and you do have the minutes.

“A man who dares waste one hour of time has not discovered
the value of life.”  -Charles Darwin

Allot some of your minutes towards reaching your Goals.

Allot some of your minutes towards pursuing your DREAMS…
every day.

The one thing you and I have in common is that today we
started our day on equal ground with the same amount of
minutes.  Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, Michael Phelps, Tiger
Woods, (insert the name of someone who inspires you).  We
all have the same minutes today.

What separates us is how we value our minutes and how we
spend and invest them.

What we do with that them will determine whether or not we
reach our Goals.

Don’t be fooled by the calendar. There are only as many days
in the year as you make use of. One man gets only a week’s
value out of a year while another man gets a full year’s
value out of a week.  -Charles Richards

Quality of life and time management are as much about clarity,
prioritizing as it is about appreciation of the minutes we
have been given.

What we do with those 1,440 minutes today and everyday will
determine our results in life.

That’s 525,600 minutes per year.

Invest them wisely.

One of the greatest quantum leaps you will achieve in the advancement of your most cherished Goal occurs when your Goal transforms from being something that is a distant possibility to an absolute, unstoppable certainty. The good news is that you can begin creating that quantum leap today.

Every Goal that is lofty, meaning it is beyond your current capacity, skill level or comfort zone, will require a major shift to occur in order to be realized. Big Goals are big because the distance from where you are now to where you want to be requires so much more of you than you are accustomed to giving.

“If you want to achieve something you have never had before, you must become someone you’ve never been before.” -Jill Koenig

Before the shift, you are plagued with doubt. After the shift, you don’t just think you can do it, you KNOW you WILL. In fact, the Goal becomes so crystalized, it lifts you, it permeates every cell of your body and your heart sings with joy every day, every step of the way even before it manifests. Your Goals should be feeding you, motivating you and exciting you long before they are realized.

Get yourself in sync with your Goal.

There are millions of people right now wishing they would become a Millionaire. They’re saying, “When I get my million dollars, I’m going to start living right. When I get my million dollars, I’m going to start giving to charity. When I get my million dollars, I’m going to start waking up earlier. When I get my million dollars, I’m going to start exercising and eating right. When I get my million dollars, I’m going to read and learn some new skills. When I get my million dollars, I’m going to start pursuing my passions. When I get my million dollars, I’m going to be a better person. When I get my million dollars I will start living my dreams.”

They want to keep acting like it’s business as usual, doing the same old things, with the same stinking thinking, believing they will somehow achieve a different result. Same old thoughts, same old friends, same old habits, same old skills, same old mindset, same old results, same old you.

For that person, the identity shift has not yet occurred. Their thinking is backwards. They think the money comes and then you magically change internally.

If that were the case, then all lottery winners would be the happiest people in the world. The truth is they are not. In fact, they are far from it. Most lottery winners are bankrupt within 5 years of winning. Sure lottery winners acquired the money, but they had the same old mindset. They didn’t become millionaires internally. There was no inner transformation, no new identity.

Every person I have ever known who has achieved this shift, and created lasting change, has first recreated themselves to learn and embody the traits of someone who would own the Goal. I am not talking about ‘fake it ’til you make it.’ I am talking about redirecting your thoughts, energy and actions into the type of person who would absolutely manifest that Goal.

I will never forget the rapid advancements I experienced when I first began to understand this.

It was the time I went from dead broke to seeing money start to flow through me.

I chose a few millionaires whom I admired, I studied them and then I modeled them. I saw that by adopting some of the traits and habits they practiced, that I was able to become more like them. I even modeled their mindset. It took some conscious effort on my part in the beginning, but I quickly realized that my Goal of becoming a millionaire was more than a distant possibility. Because I was becoming a millionaire within, it had become a certainty.

I learned to think, act, walk, talk and feel like a millionaire FIRST and it became my identity inside me long before the money arrived. I became a millionaire in my mind first. I felt like a millionaire because I had transformed myself physically, mentally and emotionally and when it rained, it poured.

It is simple. Every millionaire I have ever met does things a certain way. They rise early in the morning. Then they read or listen to motivational audios. They invest in their own personal development. They have a certain routine that helps them focus, think and grow. Read what millionaires read. Go where millionaires go. Do what millionaires do. Talk like millionaires talk. Walk like millionaires walk. Feel like millionaires feel. Believe what millionaires believe. And here’s the big one, dream what millionaires dream. Set lofty Goals the way millionaires set Goals.

I guarantee you the millionaires of the world are not waiting until January 1st to set a few random Goals and forget about them within three weeks. High performing men and women are crystal clear about their Goals and have them in sight at all times because they are becoming or have become the Goal they desire.

Think of some people who have achieved a Goal similar to the one you desire most.

What are some things you can begin doing right now that will cause the shift inside you?

Who will you need to become?

The greatest reward of Goal Achieving is not what you get, it’s who you become.

Become the Goal and enjoy the journey. It’s a lot more fun!

This one ingredient is so powerful, without it you are guaranteed to struggle.

This one single aspect is so key to your success, having it gives you the capacity to draw towards you all of the resources you need to achieve your most cherished Goals.

And by not having it, all the talent, money and connections don’t mean a thing.

No other skill can compensate for a lack of it.

So what is the critical factor I am referring to?

What one component is so monumental that it has the power to exponentially stack the odds in your favor?

Passion.

Yes, passion, as in a burning desire.

Passion is enough to compensate for almost any lack. Passion magnetizes all missing components towards you. Passion provides the optimism, the determination and the drive to carry you through the tough times while you’re developing the other necessary ingredients for your Goals to manifest.

Passion is contagious.

Passion is magnetic.

Passion attracts other passionate people to you.

Passion gives you courage.

Passion is the source of your own internal motivation.

One of the greatest secrets to success is to immerse yourself in the things, people and endeavors that you are passionate about… every single day.

Without passion, we perish.

The road to fulfillment begins with clarifying what you are passionate about and building your day to day life around it.

You are only living up to a fraction of your true potential if you are not engaged in your passions every single day in some way.

80% of Americans lack passion for what they do. Please don’t be one of them. You may currently work a job you don’t love but you can still pursue your passions outside of that while learning how to design a new destiny with your passions at the forefront.

Give yourself the gift of discovering what your passions are and then learn how to unleash them. My wish for you is that you experience the day to day joy that can only come from reveling in your passions.

Start today.

My friends Chris and Janet Attwood have created a remarkable manual for helping you identify and unleash your passions. It is called The Passion Test.

It’s already a #1 Amazon.com Best Seller.

http://www.goalguru.com/recommends/passion

The Passion Test has already transformed the lives of thousands of people throughout the world.

The one thing that all the most successful people in the world share in common is, they have followed their passions.

Oprah, Tiger Woods, Bill Gates… all they did was pursue their passion. They refused to settle for anything less.

“It changed the way I have lived the past year.”
-Jack Canfield, CoAuthor of Chicken Soup for the Soul

What would your life be like if you were fully living your passions?

Are you ready to find out? “The Passion Test - The Effortless Path to Discovering Your Destiny” is the road map to your passionate life.
