"I would LOVE to win a million dollars!" How many of you have ever said that? I'm going to go out on a limb and guess EVERYONE who is reading this. Here's another question: how many of you, while browsing through home listings, have ever looked at a million dollar home and said to yourself, "I would LOVE to own a home like that"? Probably the majority of you, right? I know I have said that MANY times.
So if we all want to be "millionaires", why do so many of us settle for less? Don't get me wrong, I don't believe success is necessarily measured by $$$, but I do believe we sell ourselves short far too often.
The definition of success is different for everyone. For some, it IS owning a million dollar home or having millions of dollars in the bank. For others it is the freedom to work without the pressure of a boss or corporation breathing down your neck. Still for others it is being able to go home and not think about work until the next day. The real question is, whatever your definition of success might be, are you living it? Or do you get up each day wishing something...ANYTHING would happen to get you out of the rut you have found yourself in?
What is it that keeps us from owning our dream home, or having our dream job? Is it laziness? 
Maybe. But I believe the biggest culprit is our negative way of thinking.
That has almost become cliche we hear it so often, but it's SO true. If I had a quarter for every negative comment I hear (or make unfortunately) each and every day, I would literally never have to work another day in my life. Negativity is infective. It's like a parasite that attaches to your soul and completely sucks the life out of you. And just like any other life-threatening infection, it is something you MUST fight against if you wish to see your dreams come true.
3 Powerful Tips to Start Thinking Like a Millionaire - This is an article I ran across while browsing the internet. To summarize, if you want to think like a millionaire take these three steps:
1. Take 100% Responsibility - stop blaming your problems on someone or something else, EVEN if it might be someone else's fault.
2. Master Your Attitude - my Dad always told me never SAY something is going to happen unless you WANT it to. If you constantly say something bad will happen, it eventually will and vice versa.
3. Search for Mentors and Build Strong Networks - never feel ashamed to "copy" off of the success of another person. Feel ashamed if you DON'T. This doesn't mean steal or plagiarize, it means fashion and structure your mindset, your techniques, etc. after someone who has proven to be successful. Why do you think American Idol is STILL on the air?
I wish the best to anyone who is working to see their dreams come true. Don't ever give up! If you want a million dollar home...then I hope someday that is what you have!
