When we talk about creating wealth, we primarily focus on you, the individual wealth creator. That’s because, as you know, wealth and prosperity starts with the individual. Does that mean, then, that you need to be in this for the one and only you?

Who Do You Create Wealth For?

It does help for you to know who you are creating wealth for. Is it for you and your happiness alone? Is it for you and your family—children, spouse, maybe parents and others whom you dream of helping along? Is it for grown children and grandchildren? Is it for people who have not yet entered your life, but that you expect one day will be (a spouse and family…) Or is it even for a wider population such as charities or local people down on their luck? All of these? None of these?

Your Vision Of Prosperity

A ‘yes’ answer to any one of these questions would be right. There is no right or wrong or one single answer. Creating wealth should be done with a vision of the end-goal and achievements in mind. So if you envision your wealthy life one shared with a family and your wealth providing for them, that is what your wealth vision should be—you and yours in a comfortable home with everything you want and the time and financial freedom to enjoy each other. We’re not all cut out for the family lifestyle, though, so whatever your vision is, and whoever the people are who are in it, are who you are creating wealth for.

This can be kind of a funny subject for people to balance, because on the one hand wealth creation is so individually focused on what you want and aim to achieve; on the other, there are all these people who you hope to achieve it for, and that can seem to go against the grain of what you are learning—to focus on your own efforts, attitudes, wants, and mindset. Keep in mind that if you do not take care of you, you cannot take care of yours; so in the end, yes, wealth creation is very much a personal endeavor, but it can very much be one that includes anyone and everyone you hold dear, too.

Among Christians, this is the Easter season, a time for forgiveness and forbearance. This is a holiday celebrated by many all over the world, even among the less religious. Practicing or no, religious or no, there is something that you can capture of this spirit to apply to your own success and empowerment, and wealth creation.

Forget The “Sins” Of The Past

Forget the financial “sins” and mistakes of the past. You are human. We all make mistakes. Whatever decisions you have made prior to now are done and over with, finished. All that is left is for you to learn from them where it’s appropriate and to move forward to a new and better financial life. Accept that to err is human and is okay. Accept that a few financial missteps (or even many) do not make you a bad person, just a person, and that you deserve to forgive yourself those missteps and to live a full, abundant life.

Put Your Energy In The Future

It is important to stop living in the past, because when we do that we spend a great lot of our energy in the past. That is time and energy we cannot get back, and so is useless, wasted energy.

The only energy that can be of benefit to us is that which we are expending for the here and now and for the future. It is to your absolute benefit to maximize the potential of your energy expenditures and to focus them on productive, not counter-productive actions and activities.

I wish you all a very Happy and Healthy Easter holiday, regardless of your spiritual or religious convictions, and hope that you take to heart the lessons of the season. Forgive and let go of the past, make the most of your future, and live well in a balanced, content life of abundance and prosperity.

The last post talked about reconciling the negative things in your past to allow for growth and wealth creation. That’s a tough thing for some people to accept, because it is really hard to commit to going back and digging up past experiences that seem better left untouched. Overcoming those experiences once and for all, and capitalizing on the unleashed positive power that lies within them, is essential to forward movement and growth—to success and financial prosperity. As long as those emotions are left to degrade your success, they will continue to eat away at it and either keep you from wealth altogether or limit your potential success, and consequently, your wealth.

But What Could Possibly Be Good About A Bad Past Experience?

Even given this knowledge, and understanding the basic concept behind it, people are reluctant to take hold of it and relive the past—even at the return of enjoying a hugely prosperous future. They just can’t figure what possible good could come from something that was perhaps painful, trying, and emotionally, and often financially, draining.

There are many good and positive things that can come out of reconciling past experiences. It might be a financial lesson learned, it might be revealing a person or negative force in your life for what it really was, or it might be just knowing that you had the personal strength and fortitude to overcome; it might even be the realization that you needed a change to get the most from life—an awakening as to your current state, and the state of your future if you did nothing about it.

In fact, every single negative thing that ever happened to you had something positive related to it. It is that positivity that you are trying to recapture—not the negativity, that we are letting go. At the time of whatever it was that occurred most people cannot see the positive that came out of it. That is why we have to go back and figure out what it was. Because when you see that you were rewarded for surviving that negative experience, you can value it as a lesson learned, or a character built, and you can know that even the worst things in life contributed to the wonderful, outstanding, successful person that you know you are today!
