Due Recognition For Life Stressors
Because we focus so much on the positive and on the attractive properties of the Law of Attraction and the like, we tend to talk much more about finding the positive things in your life and setting your sight on them. To be sure, gratitude, appreciation, and positive thinking is a certain path to motivation and financial success. But there is also something to be said for recognition of the less-than-desirable stressors in your life.
Recognizing Life Stress
It is important to recognize the stressful and the negative in your life as you start making a plan and setting goals for wealth creation. That sounds counter-intuitive to what we normally talk about here, but if you think about it, it’s a necessary part of the process. Why? Because if you do not at least recognise what is not working, then you can’t start to make changes to fix the problem. You need to figure out what it is that impedes your financial success, and then make a financial plan of action, laying out concrete plans for dealing with each one (even if that plan means simply refusing to acknowledge certain emotions, etc.). It’s the only way to overcome your financial hurdles.
A Life In Balance
As you do this, there is a balance that you need to be careful to maintain. We are not abandoning the process of being, doing, and having, better things, or of living a life of gratitude, or any of the other positive actions that build wealth and success. We are simply identifying what is holding us back so that we can plan to fix it. You want to take care not to get caught up in the emotion of it all, and not to dwell on the negative (and hence not to attract more negativity to you). There is a level of balance that you need to achieve to right the balance of life again, and then tip those scales in favor of the good and the positive—in favor of your final success and wealth!
