Austin:
You make a great point. Things aren’t always as easy as changing one big thing. Maybe it’s your job. Instead of looking to change jobs, which could be tough given the current economy, maybe there are a few parts of your job you could improve on. You might be able to delegate out a piece of your work, change vendors or just redo your office/cubicle. All of these might just make tomorrow a better day.

I think there are many levels to happiness that unhappy people don’t realize. Often we fixate on 1 thing that is making us unhappy, when in reality there are many small things that could be changed that would result in more happiness.

Concentrating on one thing that needs changing borders on obsession. You must spread out the happiness because a rich life full of stuff you love is a great life.

Great post!

@John D Beurger
I actually haven’t read “Secrets of the Millionaire Mind”. It sounds like something I will enjoy. I love your point about how people are insane. They do the same things over and over again expecting a different result. Then you quote Zig Ziglar. I give you the award for the best comment on this blog so far.

Another great post. I’ve always liked T. Harv Eker’s “Secrets of the Millionaire Mind” although I will warn people up front that the book is a marketing vehicle for his very lucrative (for him) workshops. Your thoughts lead to feelings, your feelings lead to actions and your actions lead to results. It all starts with those thoughts.

As a fiduciary financial advisor and wealth coach, I’ve seen way too many cases of people doing the self destruct method of personal finance. They can’t get their head around a wealthy way of thinking (and wealth is a lot more than just your net worth) so they keep doing stuff that creates crappy results – and never figure out why.

You are responsible for your financial situation. Nobody else is. Your choices led you to where you are today. The cool thing is your choices can lead you to anywhere you want to be in the future – but you have to get rid of that “stinkin’ thinkin’” as Zig Ziglar calls it.
