What to Do When You "Have it All" and Still Aren't Satisfied
For a few, life has improved amongst the terrorist threats and
subsequent roller coaster of an economy. Some have bought second
or even third homes, while others have elected for collection
quality, top of the line automobiles. Others still have traveled
the world, experiencing realism at a level the vast majority
will never know. Why yes, luxury today is known well in certain
circles and is in fact lavished with immoderations.
The question begging to be asked is, "What now?" How many
yachts can one water-ski behind? Do you really want to go to the
moon? When it is all said and done and you cannot find
satisfaction with all the material things at your disposal:
Give of Yourself
People of affluence unaccustomed to a life dedicated to the
service of those less fortunate will always have a void to fill.
It is the scarcity mentality that says, "I must get all the
money I can before I die." It is the abundance mentality that
counters, "I must pass on my knowledge and experience to give
others an opportunity to obtain things far greater than my own
accomplishments."
Behave Consistent with How You Want Others to Remember
You
Those who want to be remembered as having made a difference need
to lead lives full of actions powerful enough to not only be
cherished in their life, but also after they have passed on.
Traditionally, these are service oriented acts. Become a mentor
to today's youth. Help as many others achieve their goals as you
can.
Write Your Memoirs
When you have it all, tell it all. The story of your life should
be recorded. This way, you only have to say it once and you will
maximize the affect your experiences can have on all the people
that read your book. Book writing is always a great project for
those needing a new experience in their lives, especially for
those willing to undertake its arduous course.
Challenge Yourself
More like, refine yourself. Take up Jiu-Jitsu. Learn yoga. Do
something you have never done before. Study a new language.
Study two. Fly a helicopter. Feed thousands of starving people.
Make a List of Long-Term Goals and Complete One Each
Year
Aim for the horizon on this one. If you have ever thought of
owning a sailing team, here is where that desire is to be
recorded. It is far more difficult to achieve your innermost
desires without writing them down. The human brain understands
that you are serious when you take the time to write your goals
down and review them on a daily basis. Let it all hang out.
Studies have shown that 90% of this great nation's wealth is
controlled by 10% of its population. Many find that statistic
shocking, while others have come to accept its validity. Some of
this 10% are wholly fulfilled by their life's experiences, but
there are those who yearn for a bit more. The upper crust
possess within it a class of its own, a faction unsatisfied by
the trappings their money affords them. Rather, they go through
with their day-to-day affairs and wonder if they could get even
more out of life. The answer is a resounding yes.
