Living The American Dream

What is the American Dream? Is it enjoying life or is it being financially prosperous. I guess it can mean many different things to different people, but we would all like to have a piece of it. To me the American Dream is having the ability to control my own destiny. Having the ability to create my own wealth as well as the quality of relationships I have with the people in my life.

Many people today fall victim to the circumstances of their life or their past. Whether you are raised to believe that you must accept what ever your circumstances are or that you really have no control over what ever happens to you. That you must just wait for someone to tell you what you can have or what you can't have. You settle for the secure low paying job that you hate because you've been told that's what you are suppose to do. Or maybe you have lived in poverty your entire life and everyone around says there is no way out.

I must tell you I to have been a victim of these poor beliefs as well. I allowed these ideas in my head have the control over my life and the relationships I had with the people around me. I felt that life just sucked and there was nothing I could do about it and with the economy in the state that it is thousands of people are losing there jobs and homes and they believe there is nothing they can do.

These beliefs are what hold people back from discovering what they are truly capable of achieving. Many of us have felt that someone has there thumb on top of us holding us down. That is not true! It is our own poor belief system in our heads that ultimately holds us down.

I'm here to say that no matter where you come from or how bad you life may seen you can become successful. Not only financially but with the types of relationships you have with the people around you. What we believe about ourselves and our life truly plays a huge role in the way we view the people around and how we treat them.

If you really want to take control of your life and financial future you must learn to discard your poor belief system and begin to create a new one. You must learn to believe in yourself and your abilities. You must understand that most of us will never win the lottery or come into a large sum of money. Therefore must learn to create our own wealth. Take risks in your life with people and ideas. If you not successful your first time, don't give up. Learn from your mistakes and always believe you can do better next time.

This is what I did. I had to begin to change the way I believed life was and what I was truly capable of. I had spent most of my life closed off to the world thinking it would just screw me over. I had to learn to open myself up to the world and begin to take risks not only with my search for financial independence but also with people. I began to have better relationships as well finding the ability to explore new ideas witch ultimately led me to creating my own destiny. Always believe in yourself and never give up.
