Only You Can Limit Your Options

Friday, March 27th, 2009

Your life is no accident; we’ve clarified that now. Your life is an actionable path that can take you wherever you guide it. Now that you know that, you should feel empowered and in control of your future financial security and wealth development. You should also feel excited—because along with guidance comes choices, and choices mean options—very exciting ones if you let them be!

Real Life Options

Among the biggest hold-backs for people is that they do not pursue their passions and live their true lives. They are not true to themselves, and so often their efforts will be uninspired and minimally effective. One of the reasons that happens is that people think that life comes down to a choice between one of two things: passion or money.

Think about this. How many people are stuck in dead-end jobs, or running the treadmill that is life’s rat race, because they need to make money? How many people sit day in and day out, waiting for the clock to strike so they can go home, have a few hours of freedom, and pursue their real passions, at least until it is time to get up and do it all over again? A great many people are doing just this, making a choice to make money instead of living their passion.

To be clear, I do not dispute the fact that you need to make money in order to live freely. Money is the tool of the modern age—it’s what allows you the freedom to live your life and passions. BUT you do not have to choose between the two. There are many ways to combine these efforts. When you do, you find that you are a twice-empowered person who is motivated and inspired to succeed.

Passion Or Money Is Not The Question

Too many people live life thinking that they have to decide between one or the other, passion or money. The best life is not a choice between these two at all, but a combination of it.

In future posts we’ll explore this further and look at some ways that passion and money can work in tandem. Until then, consider that your life is not a compromise, and start thinking of how you can build wealth by building the strongest foundation upon these two.
