The Power of a Compelling Future

 

How Will You Know Your Life’s Purpose? When You Decide What It Is!

 •According to the Massachusetts Department of Health, Education and Welfare, the most important risk factor in dying of your first heart attack is job dissatisfaction. Make sure you have a deeper meaning for your life than “I’m on that grindstone again!” 

• Victor Frankl, a Nazi concentration camp survivor and author of Man’s Search for Meaning, found his purpose in his future. He vowed that somehow he would survive, share his story and make sure that nothing like the Holocaust could ever happen again. 

• Near the end of his life, actor Michael Landon discovered a profound truth. In reminding people to live life to the fullest, every minute of every day, he developed a compelling purpose for his final days. 

Your Purpose in Life Is Up to You

Are you being efficient or effective? Being efficient means doing things right. Being effective means doing the right things.

Why Some People Don’t Win the Game of Life

So many people feel like they can’t win the game of life. Why? For these seven reasons:

1. They don’t know the purpose of the game. 

2. Even though they don’t know the purpose, they have rules for themselves and everyone else about how the game must be played. 

3. Their rules are in conflict. 

4. Even when they play by the rules, they don’t always win. 

5. Sometimes they get rewarded for breaking the rules. 

6. They have to work with other people who all have the wrong rules. 

7. They think it’s a life-and-death game, putting so much fear and pressure on themselves that they never truly live.

But the new traders also hold stocks that are trading ag...
 Loss is painful, guilt can be devastating. Worse than losing one's dream is the knowledge that the loss was self-inflicted. Problems are solutions that have outlived their usefulness. Problems are pattern that were learned in emotional circumstances during one period of life and that now have taken an existence of their own. Many times, outdated solutions replay themselves in a variety of life situations, leaving people mindlessly repeating their mistakes in work, love, and trading. There can be no free will for people who are locked into patterns developed for past challenges. Successful traders are therapists both learn to do what comes unnaturally. The resolution to problems can be found in what people are doing when those problems are not occurring. The problem with many traders is not that they have problems, but that they are focused on their problems.

Consciously or unconsciously, it's still you. Instead of taking responsibility for what's going on in their lives, poor people choose to play the role of the victim . A victim's predominant thought is often "poor me." So presto. by virtue of the law of intention, that's literally what victims get: they get to be "poor." That said how can you tell when people are playing the victim? Victim Clue #1: Blame Victims blame the economy, they blame the government, they blame the stock market, they blame their broker, they blame their type of business, they blame their manager, they blame the head office, they blame their spouse, they blame God and of course they always blame their parents. It's always someone else or something else that is to blame. The probl...
