Take 100% Responsibility For Your Life

Posted: 20 Jul 2007 06:08 PM CDT

After my lowest day in a few years yesterday, the rebound was quite exciting. I had the opportunity today to meet Jack Canfield, co-author of the Chicken Soup books, speaker, educator, and star of The Secret. I have been a fan of Jack's since I saw The Secret last year.

Yesterday I bought Jack's book The Success Principles and signed up for his private, 21-day mentorship program (free btw). I got exactly what I needed. The first lesson in the book is that in order to move forward, you have to first accept 100% responsibility for your life and the choices you've made up to that point. Boy, that grounded me really fast. But it was exactly what I needed to hear. Now I can begin moving forward.

"People who say that life is not worthwhile are really saying that they themselves have no personal goals which are worthwhile. Get yourself a goal worth working for. Better still, get yourself a project. Always have something ahead of you to look forward to...to work for and hope for."

Author of Psycho-Cybernetics

A Message from Kim Kiyosaki!!

For me, independence evokes a sense of deeper responsibility and self-awareness. It also reminds me of the personal sovereignty that Robert and I believe so strongly in. It's the premise of my book Rich Woman and what I believe at my core: That no one should be dependent upon a government, company or family for their financial well-being. It's up to us. I can't tell you how many times I've reflected on Robert's rich dad's words to him... “You're never really free until you're financially free.”

In talking with people around the world, it seems that reaching financial independence is only a part of the process. It's keeping that freedom – by growing your wealth – that is key to long-term financial freedom and personal sovereignty. One way to help maintain independence is to ask yourself, “If I could change anything about myself what would it be?” In other words, don’t become complacent. Constantly work to improve yourself. It's natural to allow ourselves to fall back into old and unproductive habits – especially if we haven't surrounded ourselves with people who believe in the same things we do. I am constantly asking myself, as I hope you do, 'What would I change?'... and how can I start making those changes?

Here's a trick to get past mental blocks that has helped me: Remember that 'anything' can mean exactly that – ANYTHING!

So as we celebrate our many freedoms and our journey to life-long financial independence, I challenge you to ask yourself... Can you make the changes that will enrich your life? Are you willing to? Do you have what it takes – education, commitment, strength support from those around you – to make it happen?

If you do... you are well on your way to true financial independence... Enjoy your Independence.

Our web designer at Rich Dad's has an iPhone!!!

Wow! "I have a couple of the world's hottest news items in the palm of my hand. I don't really have much to say about Paris Hilton, but I am going to let you know what I think of my new iPhone. I waited in line outside my local Cingular/AT&T store for about two and a half hours on Friday evening to be one of the first people to ever own an iPhone. In Arizona that means I was sitting outside in 110 degree weather sweating my butt off "just for a phone" as some might say."
