You can create your own awesome lifestyle if you pursue your unique niche. We all are born with a niche that can provide us with all the best things that we desire in life. We possess the unique niche to be great and excellent at something that we should actually do.
We go to schools the moment we grow and continue to be in schools or colleges till we graduate and receive our certificates. With the certificate in hand, we look for jobs to start with. These days the students can work as interns in big companies to get a first hand work experience so that later when they finish their studies they will be able to decide whether to work for somebody or to work for themselves. But many who work as interns choose to be in the rat race minding other people's business thereafter.
Working as an intern gives a real glimpse of the real world and students who are just stepping into the rat race must be able to make a wise decision. The daily routine of 9 to 5 job at office may not be for all but most of the students try to fit in there. They don't really want to be part of that rat race, but in order to survive they just join any company to earn a living. There is nothing wrong about making a living but there is an error in not pursuing their niche.
At work, people are actually working for others in exchange of money and to get that much money, they have to put in a lot of efforts to compensate for the money they earn and it is always at the expense of their life. People don't decide properly which lifestyle to choose and why? They don't think about their abilities and talents. They are only ready to join the workforce as employees. They have no plans to sharpen their talents and skills in order to pursue their niche.
I think, people must decide in the beginning of their lives, what and how do they want to live their life? If they think working for others makes sense and gives security, they should pursue it and be in the rat race. But my concern is for those who don't really want to work for somebody but they are caught up in the rat race. They want to pursue their special niche but they are afraid and unsure about it.
Majority of graduates in all over the world will work for the few successful business men who didn't want to work 9 to 5 job and decided to develop and pursue their own niche. They took in charge of their future and believed in their niche because they were on the right track by pursuing their niche. The majority of employees who are doing their jobs grudgingly are not happy because they don't get what they have in their mind. These people are on the wrong track. They are working hard to complete others' niche.
It is important that we pursue our own niche by developing, refining, failures and success. Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Walt Disney, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and many other millionaires and billionaires pursued their own niche and they are today living their dreams, having their lifestyle and spending the best quality time with their family, love, desires and interests.
There are many people in the world who worked as employees for others and earned a living but later they shifted their focus on realizing their dreams. They worked on their niche and today they are happier, independent and rich. They have become role models for others to learn and follow their unique niche.
Each person has his own unique niche and each one can pursue it if he decides to go after and seek his own happiness. I am sure, it will make a very great change in person's lifestyle. People who are in the rat race and not happy at work, don't believe in their abilities rather they take this idea with a grain of salt because they don't have egg on their faces. They don't want to be embarrassed or ashamed if they fail in their endeavour.
There is no shame in failures or mistakes as there are lessons to be learned and improved. So decide today to pursue your own niche, niche can be anything as long as they express your true values, purpose and ultimate happiness.

Is Technological Breakthrough Enhancing The Quality Of Our life???
It is indeed commendable to say that humans have reached to a great stage of technological civilization. We have made a huge progress in terms of inventing new technologies to solve our problems of existence here on this earth. 2000 years ago, our great ancestors didn't have the chance to live in this golden age of technological breakthrough. Their travel, transportation, housing, food, education, wealth, health, communication and relationship were limited. They couldn't drive a car, they couldn't fly in the plane, they couldn't travel to the space, they couldn't mass produce various goods to earn huge profits.
Today because of great technological breakthrough, humans can fly, drive a car, travel to space, cure the diseases and transmit messages or videos to far away continents. We enjoy the progress of great breakthrough in the history of high technological civilization. We use technology every day and every time. Technology has become like members of our own body. They seem to be the master of our life.
Among these great technological breakthroughs, it is important to evaluate the benefits of the technology and also the hazards of technology. In order to speed up, people invented 4 wheelers to transport us and the goods. To travel faster, we worked hard to invent a machine that could fly like birds in the sky. To stay in the water and swim like fish, people invented submarines and boats. The computer has revolutionized the work culture at jobs and the commerce today. To communicate with others at a distant place, they invented telephone. And today telephone communication has been improved and upgraded very much that we can carry the gadget which aids in staying connected with our relatives, friends and business clients wherever we go.
Today we have mobile phones or cell phones. We can easily communicate with others from anywhere and any place. On the surface, it seems that mobile phone is an inherent member of our physical body. We carry it wherever we go and make a call any time. For mobile industry, it is the golden period because they are reaping the rewards and profits in huge margins. Of course we need mobiles today to communicate with others otherwise we won't be existing without it.
However my main concern is about the hazards of technology. For instance, mobile phones have become part and parcel of our life, there is no doubt about it. But is it safe and healthy to incorporate in our personal life? How much can it damage our healthy life style here on earth?
The recent scientific studies by top doctors, surgeons and scientists show that the use of mobile phones do cause a maximum level of public health hazards. The electro-magnetic radiation and microwaves that occur during the process of communication, damages the brain and causes brain haemorrhage, brain cancer, brain tumour and many other physical symptoms. In short it is burning our brain.
The industry research and scientific studies don't agree with outside scientists and experts' findings. They rubbish off the findings of others and the mobile industries take the support of governments to push the business transaction. The government whose main mission is to protect its citizens from the danger or unsafe environment doesn't even educate the public about health hazards of the modern technology. The industries shy away from speaking the truth for fear of losing the business stability and profits. The media doesn't clearly say whether the mobile phone is safe or not safe. The public are kept ignorant and the big industries do back on the ignorance of people.
In my opinion, the use of mobile phones for long duration is dangerous. The mobile phones are silent causes of brain tumour and cancer today. The validity of truth can be easily established if there is faith in the system. It is a big conspiracy theory. Recently, some people died after attending to some phone numbers, which appeared in red lights and within a short span of time those people died. They fainted and lost the consciousness and at the end they couldn't survived. There is a case where a doctor attended to the call which appeared in red lights too and he fainted immediately and was very critical.
When my brother brought to my notice, I didn't know much about the health hazards of mobile phones but later I did a little bit of research for myself and I got convinced that use of mobile phones are not safe. There may by many people who will die of brain cancer or tumour in the years to come.
"And in the end, its not the years in your life that count. Its the life in your years." Abraham Lincoln.
The health is very important and it is our duty to see that our children are safe from health hazards of modern technology. Because we are not going to live in the future, our children and grand children who will be living and the human race must continue to exist. We should not be dumb to jeopardize our children's future just because we care about getting more profit margins.
Let's keep our children's future safe by inventing good technology which may not extinguish our human survival. Let's educate our children about the health hazards that come through the excessive use of technology. We must practice here our human diligence and power of choice.

Become Good to Great and Great to Extraordinary!
People play very small in their lives when they can actually play bigger roles. There is no reward or satisfaction in being small or just good because the talents or skills are not fully utilized. To make the best use of talents and skills, we must know how much we want to grow in life.
Many people are good and they feel satisfied by displaying their abilities and their desire to be great. They think being good is sufficient but in reality that doesn't serve any purpose. We must aim in life to become great and then to become extraordinarily great because when we achieve our purpose on earth there is contentment and great rewards.
Mahatma Gandhi was a good lawyer but he didn't have a desire to be good always. Instead he pushed himself harder to become great and when he had achieved the great height of human endeavour he moved on to become extraordinarily great human being, leader, role model and the greatest soul to embrace non-violence throughout his life. If you want to be something in life, don't limit yourself to being good instead aim to be great and extraordinary person ever to exist on earth.
Bill Gates when he was in college, he learned about computers and he was good but he didn't want to remain good all the time. Instead he decided to become great and that decision to become great made him to drop out of the college and he pursued his dream to be great. Once he reached to the top level he was not complacent and satisfied. He forged ahead to become the greatest person. He became not only a billionaire at young age but also he became multi-billionaire and the richest man on earth. Today he has set another ambition to be greater and extraordinary human being by investing his fortune in taking care of sick, old and other poor countries. This is the example of being good to great to extraordinary.
We all of us can become great and extraordinary success here on earth but we should be clear about what to do in life. Any child can become good but we must never stay at that lower level of spectrum. We must move ahead in life and become great to extraordinary.
The students too can become great to extraordinary if they really choose to be one. Parents too must decide to be great to extraordinary great because there is no great meaning in playing small and good. Teachers too can be great to extraordinary teachers where they can inspire and motivate students to be great leaders. Politicians too have the golden chance to be extraordinary leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Abraham Lincoln and many other good leaders.
Some of the scientists, doctors, engineers, pilots, entrepreneurs have made themselves so great and so extraordinary that we feel they are Gods here on earth. The great motivational speakers, personal development experts and philosophers didn't stay at the lower spectrum of good rather they aimed higher and higher as a result they became great to extraordinary. Anthony Robbins, Wayne Dyer, Bob Proctor, Jim Rohn, Brian Tracy, Zig Ziggler, Randy Gage, Les Brown, Jack Canfield, Dennis Waitley, Joel Osteen, Robert Kiyosaki and many others who showed one thing that there is a possibility to be extraordinary person in life.
So what are you thinking in your mind? Do you plan to be just good, just great or superbly extraordinary person in your life? The choice is of course yours and I can't decide it for you. You have to have the vision for your life. You can't fit in my vision but we all can aspire to be extraordinary.
Visualize yourself to be superbly extraordinary in life, hold that picture in your mind and program your mind by affirming your ultimate desire and when you repeat this process again and again you can be sure that your chance of being that extraordinary person of great character, integrity, truth, honesty, values and enthusiasm will become a reality.
By being good we don't gain much but by becoming great to extraordinary we stand in alignment with great souls who walked on this earth. Thus we create a new world order and world peace through our greatness.

Every Adversity Has the Seed of Greater Benefits!
Whenever there is any adversity in the family with individuals, in the nation or in the whole world, there is definitely some goodness hidden. Sometimes the things that seem like disasters turn out to be blessings in disguise. It all depends on how you regard the troubles that come your way.
Soon, the person who is facing challenges in life, may be the financial difficulties in today's economy where global recession has created a big hole in people's pockets, may discover that there is some thing positive about the circumstances. The change in mental attitude alone will encourage the person to look for opportunities that were not available before. You must learn to look for the good in your unfortunate situation. Remember our attitudes shape our future. This is a universal law. Victory and success is in your attitude.
You are the most important living person and take a look at yourself. Try to see in yourself faith, integrity, hope, optimism, courage, initiative, generosity, tact and good common sense. Your success, health, happiness, wealth will come to you when you are inclined to the positive attitude all the time. Keep your minds on things you want strongly and focus only on your goals and dreams.
The present economic condition has nothing to do with your failure, it has something to do with your success and achievement of your dreams. The adversity hits every one but what do you do in order to overcome such unfortunate situation? There are many things that you can do to make the best use of misfortune.
Here is the best advice given by Anthony Robbins, the great motivational speaker and life coach. I believe you will agree with his four ways to tackle the economic adversity today.
1. Anticipate. Instead of blind optimism, accept the season we're in. Understand the overall trend so you know how to react: If you try to plant seeds in winter, nothing will grow. Decide to find a way to take advantage of the reality of the situation.
2. Educate yourself. Educate yourself about personal finance. There are many tools available to help you make smart decisions, to protect your assets and your family.
3. Look to Role Models. Learn from people who have been through similar situations before and achieved success in tough markets. One such person is Sir John Templeton, an investment pioneer whose foresight made him billions.
4. Cultivate an Attitude of Gratitude -- Not Fear. Find a way to add more value than anyone else is adding. If you can give more than you expect to receive, it'll put your own life into perspective and make it more meaningful. Wealth is not just about money -- it's psychological, spiritual, emotional and physical.
If followed, these four steps can help you weather the bad economic circumstances. Remember, no adversity is greater than you. You possess the great spirit, the courage, mental fortitude, skills, abilities and talents to challenge any adversity that might strike you. You are equipped with all the necessary tools that you need to overcome any adversity. Use your positive mental attitude to stay calm, focused, alert and ready to pick up any opportunities that come your way.

Are there any huge benefits in pursuing academic qualification for 20 years?
"In the real world, what school you attended becomes less and less important and your character, drive, passion, and intelligence prevail." Robert Kiyosaki
INVESTMENT OF 20 YEARS IN ACADEMIC EDUCATION IS A RISKY BUSINESS
Many people live today by conventional wisdom as a result they can't drop out the college. You are absolutely right in suggesting students to look for alternative ways of earning money. Most of the students have unique childhood talents and skills, if they develop them they don't need to attend any college. Students spend 20 or more years in pursuing their academic college but they don't get the value for that much time they invest in their education. If they invest the same amount in developing their childhood talents, gifts and passion, they can start off a new life and thus their stories can be new and inspiring for others. 20 years of academic education doesn't guarantee a prosperous or financially abundant future. It is one of the time killers.
There are only very few people in the world who really know and understand the current trend that is prevailing the world. Parents send their children to school, colleges and universities so that their children can get good jobs as a result the children can settle down in life with safe and secured jobs. However this kind of attitude is very risky today. We can't really assume that our college degrees will guarantee us financial security in life. This is only an illusion because there is no security or freedom in life.
When the students graduate and have job placements in multi-national companies, their first reaction is always to exhilarated and happy. But soon that exhilaration doesn't last for a long time before they are fired up. There is no proper guidance provided for students. The students listen to the well-meaning opinions of their parents and they get swept away by whims and fancies but there is a great risk which they don't perceive at all.
20 years of academic education and not able to become millionaires or billionaires during one's life time is indeed a very pathetic case. Forget about being millionaires or billionaires, they have no enough money to be financially free. It is a waste of time to invest 20 years or more of our prime time, energy and money in academic education when it doesn't give us true satisfaction, happiness and financial abundance for our retirement. It is useless for those who won't be able to enjoy their lives with their family happily.
OPINIONS MISLEAD AND MISGUIDE US
Students must decide whether to pursue academic education or non-academic education. They must think forward and weigh whether academic education is beneficial or non-academic education is better. Of course, academic education produces doctors, engineers, scientists, professors, lawyers, teachers etc. but those who pursue academic education choose one of the aforementioned jobs by their childhood desires or ambition and there is nothing wrong as long as they have pursued their original desire or goals. We can't expect them to change their ambition or desires. But others who don't become doctors or lawyers or engineers, they must pursue they aspire to be in their childhood. They should not listen to others' opinions because opinions are free and they don't guarantee us any future.
People listen to their parents' opinions, friends' opinions, neighbours' opinions and the opinions of government leaders. Students must think for themselves and they should have their own minds and say. They don't need to go by others opinions however if others' opinions make some sense then they should follow them but not at the expense of sacrificing their future or leaving their future in others' hands, companies or government.
USE YOUR FREE TIME TO ACQUIRE NON-ACADEMIC EDUCATION
Robert Kiyosaki in recent blogs wrote,"You will not learn how to prosper financially in college. You will not learn how money works. You will not learn how to invest. You will not learn even the simple definition of an asset, something that puts money in your pocket, and a liability, something that takes money out of your pocket. You must take charge of your own financial education. Only then will you have a complete education."
Instead of pursuing academic education, invest your time, money and energy in gaining non-academic education because non-academic education will provide you financial freedom, prosperity, abundance, richness, values, happiness, health and a great family relationship because you will follow your plans and will accomplish your goals and not others.
What do I mean by non-academic education? Non-academic education includes financial education propagated by Robert Kiyosaki and that is a life changer today. Non-academic education means where you become your own teacher to learn and turn that learning into income generating business so that your ingenuity can guarantee you a better, free and secured future.
Academic education is very expensive and very risky for those who want to be employees for lifelong. The large companies, industries, which used to give pension at retirement is not in a position to provide because they are following the new industrial trend that is the information trend. Here the conventional idea of job security is disappearing gradually and in the future it will be a history. Education fees have sky rocketed today and though there is a great recession all over the world, the education industries are relishing huge margins of profits and revenues. But whose pockets are being emptied and broke?
BE YOUR OWN BOSS FOR CREATING A PROSPEROUS LIFE
Be your own teacher, coach, guide, mentor and visionary because it is your life and I am sure you don't intend to count on others for good things of life. Initially, it will be hard and scary to walk this road because there won't be any much promise during learning process but later you will reap the bumper crops and it will be very sweet. You are the one who will enjoy the fruits.
Learn about investment opportunities, increase your financial intelligence, look for business opportunities, pursue your own dreams and goals just like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Michael Dell, Mark Zuckerberg, Jerry Young, Larry Ellison and many others who listened to their guts, their opinions and ignored others well-meaning opinions and pursued their dreams or goals till they realized. You can model them and you will too reap the similar rewards. So do more often non-academic activities more than academic activities. Work on your paintings, write that book, take the first photographs, design that dress, improve that invention and so on.

They don't need to go by others opinions however if others' opinions make some sense then they should follow them but not at the expense of sacrificing their future or leaving their future in others' hands, companies or government.
USE YOUR FREE TIME TO ACQUIRE NON-ACADEMIC EDUCATION
Robert Kiyosaki in recent blogs wrote,"You will not learn how to prosper financially in college. You will not learn how money works. You will not learn how to invest. You will not learn even the simple definition of an asset, something that puts money in your pocket, and a liability, something that takes money out of your pocket. You must take charge of your own financial education. Only then will you have a complete education."
Instead of pursuing academic education, invest your time, money and energy in gaining non-academic education because non-academic education will provide you financial freedom, prosperity, abundance, richness, values, happiness, health and a great family relationship because you will follow your plans and will accomplish your goals and not others.
What do I mean by non-academic education? Non-academic education includes financial education propagated by Robert Kiyosaki and that is a life changer today. Non-academic education means where you become your own teacher to learn and turn that learning into income generating business so that your ingenuity can guarantee you a better, free and secured future.
Academic education is very expensive and very risky for those who want to be employees for lifelong. The large companies, industries, which used to give pension at retirement is not in a position to provide because they are following the new industrial trend that is the information trend. Here the conventional idea of job security is disappearing gradually and in the future it will be a history. Education fees have sky rocketed today and though there is a great recession all over the world, the education industries are relishing huge margins of profits and revenues. But whose pockets are being emptied and broke?
BE YOUR OWN BOSS FOR CREATING A PROSPEROUS LIFE
Be your own teacher, coach, guide, mentor and visionary because it is your life and I am sure you don't intend to count on others for good things of life. Initially, it will be hard and scary to walk this road because there won't be any much promise during learning process but later you will reap the bumper crops and it will be very sweet. You are the one who will enjoy the fruits.
Learn about investment opportunities, increase your financial intelligence, look for business opportunities, pursue your own dreams and goals just like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Michael Dell, Mark Zuckerberg, Jerry Young, Larry Ellison and many others who listened to their guts, their opinions and ignored others well-meaning opinions and pursued their dreams or goals till they realized. You can model them and you will too reap the similar rewards. So do more often non-academic activities more than academic activities. Work on your paintings, write that book, take the first photographs, design that dress, improve that invention and so on.

Personal Development is the Key to a Breakthrough Success in Life!
Don't take personal development lightly, if you are looking for a holistic success in life. Majority of people don't value the importance of personal development. Personal development means a lot of things and it includes all aspects of human life. Many people who are successful, healthy and happy took upon themselves the personal development as a result their lives improved for better.
Personal Development teaches you about Goal settings.
If you don't know the importance of goal settings you won't achieve much in your life. You will do the routine job and activity but it won't satisfy you to your best of ability. You will be disappointed and discouraged for not having things you aspire to have. If you take up personal development process, you will learn about goal settings. Many people think that goals don't have to be written down. But it may work for few but not for all people. Therefore learning about goal settings is essential. It teaches whether you should set small goals or big goals. And through personal development you will be able to set right goals.
Personal Development Teaches about attitude.
If you don't have a positive or good attitude towards making your goals achievable then you won't make any progress. It takes a lot of education about attitude to change one's perception. A positive attitude can be easily developed by you if you value personal development. Schools and colleges don't have time and patience to teach the students the positive attitude. Schools and colleges have their own subjects to teach as a result the important quality- attitude is never taught in the classroom.
Personal Development teaches about having a personal Philosophy.
You can't accomplish much in life if your philosophy is not set write. If you don't have a personal philosophy then you will fit into anybody's lifestyle or belief systems and you won't be able to stand for reality. You won't have your mind, ideas, insights and beliefs. Personal philosophy is very important because it gives direction to your big goals. Jim Rohn, the great American success philosopher and a great proponent of personal development says that philosophy is like "a set of sail."
Through Personal Development you become a qualified person to get all the good things of life.
Personal development qualifies a person to achieve the good things of life. It will give you a qualification to achieve your goals and provide you all the skills you need to perform the necessary task. In personal development what you become is very important. Even if you lose your business or encounter some loss, you still have a qualified person and that person is you. Become first a qualified person to attain your dreams.
Personal Development teaches about reading books, continuous learning, exercise and meditation.
Exercise is very important to stay healthy and being healthy is essential to enjoy the fruits of your success. You learn all this in personal development. People just need to do daily exercise of 15 minutes and eat healthy food. People usually eat nowadays for taste and not for living. People don't eat with their brain rather they consume whatever comes to their table. The onset of fast food is causing people to eat more for taste than for living. Similarly you can learn a lot of things about life if you read books and have a continuous learning. Meditation is another factor which you can learn a lot about. Meditation teaches you about breathing and focusing your attention and thus increasing concentration power. Meditation gives right understanding about the reality. Sitting in solitude is a great way to heal one's body sickness or illness.
Personal Development creates a new story for a new lifestyle.
Through personal development you can create a new story for yourself and thus you can lead a new lifestyle. If you take up personal development you will get many insights about living a better quality of life. Live the lifestyle you want to have by creating a new story for yourself.
You get spiritual, emotional, mental, physical, social and financial development.
The all round development is possible because of personal development. No human is so perfect that he/she doesn't need development in all these areas. You need a great deal of education in order live a better and happy life. People have wrong information and notion regarding personal development. But see the men and women who are successful and on top of the world because they figured out ways to solve problems when they took up personal development.
There are many benefits of personal development and it is important that you take upon yourself the responsibility to see the kind of person you would like to become. Personal development qualifies for the great things that you desire to have in your life. Life puts some of the good things on the high shelf and if you want to reach to the high shelf, you got to develop yourself in order to qualify for those good things of life. Remember to be a responsible person for your success, growth, health and happiness.

Create a New Story - a New Lifestyle for You!
We are here on earth to live a life of happiness, truth, freedom, prosperity, health and success. Our main purpose is to be selfish in our goals and dreams so that we can achieve them easily as we take the initiative to realize them. We can either be in the past and share the past stories to people or we can create new stories every time we make a progress towards gaining deeper consciousness.
I like Bill Gates, the richest man who has shown the way to create a new story for our life. He wrote a new story for himself by dropping out of college and pursuing his own dreams and goals. He was selfish enough to listen to his inner voice and followed it till its accomplishment. He had a choice to write another story of being a Phd student or academically qualified student but he didn't choose to write that story instead he decided to write another story for himself. Perhaps he did harbour in his mind the desire to be a billionaire and he made himself one.
The entrepreneurs who are millionaires and billionaires chose to create new stories for themselves in a manner they could have a new lifestyle in life. These entrepreneurs paved the way for others to follow their path and create own new stories.
Anthony Robbins is a well-known speaker, entrepreneur and life changer in the world. But before he could create a new story for himself, he had an old story which didn't appeal to him. The old story was bad and he didn't want to live life like that. He decided to change and create a news story for himself. The moment he decided to change, he created a new story for himself and everything began to work in his favour. Today what he has accomplished in life is because he chose to create a new story, a new standard of life and that has brought in a massive transformation in his life. He has assisted thousands upon thousands of people all over the world to create a new story and it works when you create a new story for yourself.
Steve Jobs too created a new story for himself. He formed Apple Computers and soon he was fired from his own company. How can one be fired from his own company? It is true it can happen and happens for a great reason. When a person has the ability to create a new story in life, he/she will definitely face obstacles on their path. Had Steve Jobs not been fired from Apple, he would not have created the new story for himself. He would not have created new products for apple, Ipod, Iphone, Ipad etc. and I am sure there will be new stories or new inventions will happen soon in his life again.
Randy Gage is another multi-millionaire whom I admire very much. He too created a new story for himself. His old story didn't seem attractive and promising so he created a new story and as a result new life emerged and he began to have a great lifestyle. It is when he decided to create a new story that he started to see prosperity, health, success and good things of life. All the wealth, health, money, luxuries were there even when he had an old story, old life style but the prosperity, wealth, health, happiness came to him the moment he created new story for himself.
There are many examples that you can find in the world who teach us indirectly to create always new stories for ourselves. If we give up our limiting beliefs and victim mentality, we can easily create new stories for ourselves and with this our life could be transformed greatly.
Learn from the success and failures of others that if you want to succeed in life you got to create new story for yourself and if you want to fail and live a miserable life you don't need to create a new story rather you can continue to live the old story. Remember millionaires and billionaires created new stories for themselves. They worked hard to challenge their limiting beliefs and they learned to have confidence in their ability by dreaming big and going for the big results. You can find for yourself whether they succeeded in creating a new life or not.
Likewise, if you decide to create a new story, you can have all the good things that you dream everyday. However you don't have to limit yourself in creating a new story. You can create a series of stories as you make a progress in your life. There won't be any one single story in your life. There will be many stories and you should write many new stories to have many new things in life.
Create a new story and you will have a new lifestyle like all the millionaires and billionaires. You can create a new story in relationship, money, prosperity, health, jobs or spirituality. Your life will change, the moment you decide to create a new story - the new lifestyle.
