Three very simple steps to improve your life and have total freedom

Today I thought I’d have a bit of fun and do an entry that is different.  I come across people who live like this and am constantly amazed by that attitude! 

Three very easy ways to have total freedom (?)

1/  Blame everyone or everything else for anything that happens and you will never be at fault!!!  I mean it is not your fault that you didn’t get to the job interview on time – the trains were late and the traffic was bad – how were you supposed to know that.  

And it wasn’t your fault you got the sack – if your boss hadn’t been nasty you wouldn’t have told him off.  Your parents were awful to you and favoured your brother and that is why you find it hard to accept criticism; and that last boss you had had no right to criticise you anyway because it wasn’t your fault that the other company got the contract.  Your colleague wouldn’t help you when the deadline was nearly up – talk about lack of team-work, and it wasn’t your fault you were running late with that contract because…..

2/ Procrastinate. I mean how else can you make an informed decision if you don’t wait and see what else is available.  Besides, it is not good for your health to get stressed about stuff; you need to have a balance and take it easy, right?  Procrastination is also good because you can’t go wrong – that’s right – if you keep putting things off, you will never make any mistakes again!!  How good is that?   Now you can just chill out and relax………………….

3/ Negativity.  Be negative and you will never be disappointed.  If you look for the worst in everyone and everything you can be right nearly all the time – imagine how much more happier you will be if you are nearly always right.   Your job (well the one you had before getting sacked) was awful; you never got any recognition for your work and your colleagues were unfriendly.  When you go for job interviews the interviewers don’t know what they are talking about and ask you stupid questions…….. I mean, you are always right, aren’t you!  Who are all these people anyway, and what do they know?  Now, I could give you more advice on the three steps, but why should I?  I probably have got it all wrong and you will know more than me about this. So,………………………………..

 follow the above three very easy and very simple steps and you will never, ever have to take responsibility for your life and decisions again, leaving you total and utter freedom!!!!

I am sure you have heard some other ways from people you know, or have met, on how to achieve this lifestyle so, please share them with me – I’m really curious to know more about this type of attitude.

 

Abundance

Abundant thinking is a form of positive thinking.  It is about creating a mindset of positive values that allows you to see your life as one of abundance, not one of deficit.  It allows you to flip your mental attitude from negative to positive and appreciate how much you have in your life to be grateful for.

Abundant thinking is all about changing how you view your personal circumstances so that you can change how you view the world at large.  It is realizing that you can be the cause of your happiness and achievement in life through your focus on what you have, rather than on what you don’t have.

However, it does not mean that you to stop striving for more and just accept your lot in life; rather it teaches quite the opposite: that by acknowledging how abundant your life is already, your mind will embrace the concept that the good things in life are potentially unlimited.  The following quote is attributed to Kabir:

“Look at you, you madman! Screaming you are thirsty and dying in a desert,
when all around you there is nothing but water!”

With an abundant mind-set, you start to notice opportunities where once you saw none, you may even realise that you already have that which you desired.

 

Abundant means to be richly supplied; to be overflowing, to have plenty.  This means that you should have no fear of asking for more.  Nor should you fear giving in case you may run out of whatever it is that you have.  Abundance is a store that never runs out of its goods, however, is not about greed.  It is taking what you need and not more just in case you may run out.  Wanting and taking more that you need is having the attitude of scarcity, the opposite of abundance.  It creates fear and limits around what can be achieved.

Abundant thinking is a life philosophy that encompasses your belief about yourself.  It is about expanding your comfort zone and getting rid of limiting beliefs about what it is possible to feel, to say and to do. 

Where money is the issue, it is viewed as a tool that allows a better quality of life, freeing you to do other things such as volunteer work, helping those who are less fortunate, spending time with you children, partner, friends, mentoring someone, providing employment to someone to do that which takes up your time better spent doing above.

How can you have an abundant lifestyle? 

Where can you find more time to do the things you enjoy the most?

How can you spend more time with the people you love?

What can you change in your life to live it the abundant way?

I’d be very interested in hearing your thoughts on this
