As a money coach, I often ask my clients to reflect on what they
\nbelieve would make them happy. Although their answers vary, they
\nfrequently say “I’d be happy if I were rich.” <\/p>\n

Recently, it’s become clear to me that almost everyone has a different
\npicture of what “being rich” looks like. While most people believe
\nthat it requires a lot of money to live a life dedicated to the pursuit
\nof our dreams and purpose, I have found that with enough passion and
\ndetermination, we are all capable of living a rich life, regardless of
\nour financial circumstances.
   
\nSome people are gifted in the “art of living rich.” Their lives are
\ntapestries of their own invention woven out of their passion for doing
\nwhat they love and an underlying belief that they would do it with or
\nwithout the money. Sometimes, because these adventurous souls have
\nbeen willing to move through life without a safety net, they not only
\nlived richly, they became wealthy as well. However, making money was
\nseldom their “goal.” They were simply dedicated to living their life
\nintentionally and purposefully. The wealth they eventually created simply manifested as the result of and reward for their efforts.<\/p>\n

So, I encourage you to follow the direction of your heart and not your
\nwallet. It is important to remember that there are certain risks in
\nwaiting before you jump-start your life. One very real risk is that it
\nmay never happen. So, wherever you are in your life right now, this
\nmoment is the best time to begin taking steps toward  the “art of
\nliving rich.”<\/p>\n

Here’s an exercise to help you explore your own journey
\ninto the “art of living rich.” May it lead you to the rediscovery of a
\ndream that you misplaced or reconnect you to a passion that still longs
\nto be fulfilled. Let your imagination run free and see where it takes
\nyou. And most of all…have fun and enjoy the ride!<\/p>\n

Send in your responses to the questions below: I’ll post the most inspiring responses next week and the winner will receive a complimentary copy of my book, Money Magic:Unleashing Your Potential for Wealth and Prosperity<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Exercise:
1. If money were not an obstacle and you had all the financial resources necessary to live your life completely in alignment with your passion and purpose, what would you do differently?
2. What part of this vision can you actually begin doing now?
3. What’s stopping you?<\/p>\n

Peace & Blessings!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
