REALIZE THAT HAVING IT ALL IS ONLY THE BEGINNING
Many are called, but few get up.
At this point in the program you really have it all. You have love, money, opportunities, and time, and your health should be intact because you didn’t have to stress yourself out getting it all. What’s next? You are leagues ahead of most people, who devote the greater part of their lives to getting even a portion of what they want. In doing this program—especially in identifying your needs and getting them met, and in orienting your life around what you truly love to do—you’ve discovered that you don’t want all the stuff you wanted in the beginning. In fact, by now you have realized that most of the stuff you thought you wanted wasn’t even that interesting and certainly wasn’t fulfilling.
This makes life a whole lot easier. Why waste your precious energy going after things you aren’t going to want when you get them?
When I promised that you would attract everything you’ve always wanted, I meant it, but now you don’t want it anymore. The really neat thing about knowing what really makes you happy is that now you are no longer a slave to your wants and desires. You are free to live your life the way you choose. And that is how it was supposed to be all along. Most of us just got sidetracked into thinking we wanted to do something other than that.
When I first realized that I could actually achieve financial independence and that it was possible to accomplish all the steps in this program within a few years, I was astounded. This was what I had been prepared to spend the rest of my life achieving. I figured that once I had done it, that was enough and I could die. I hadn’t even considered what would be next. Financial independence and a life doing what I loved to do appeared to be the ultimate objective. Now, however, I realize that it is only the beginning. It is the foundation upon which to create an incredible and inspiring life—to build a legacy and leave the world a better place.
The 10 parts in this program are the keys to success, and real success is living your life the way you want to. Now that the world is your oyster; you can do whatever your heart desires. What is the legacy you’d like to leave behind? How would you like the world to remember you? What would you like to contribute? At this point, you will be ready for the next level, the next challenge in life—that is the only way to stay in the flow and be fulfilled. You serve only because it gives you great joy and pleasure. The way you choose to serve is completely up to you.
