STEVEN JOB'S

Steve Jobs, you know this man? He made a bit of an impact on the world, the billionaire, you recall him! He left some quite profound words when he was approaching his final days!

Sometimes the words of others can have an impact on our own lives, even if it’s our subconscious minds and on a different level that we don’t even notice?

AND AGAIN, as I have said before:

"Words are only words, they are not gospel, just enjoy them as a collection of someone else's thoughts - and then create your own!"

MONEY AND WEALTH

I spent my earlier life tired of living in poverty and seeing people struggle. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have much now but my perspective and view on wealth is perceived quite differently.

I was sure for years that they had picked up the wrong baby from the hospital, parents who'd have them, but as I still have the name WAYNE imprinted on my forehead, they must have gotten it right.

This is not a story about my life story I must add, it's about someone so much Richer and Happier or may be not!

Did I mention Love yet? It was a background of poverty I remember but there was no shortage of Love between my mother and her children – this in my view out smarts money any day but money is the 'merry-go-round' of what makes the world tick but is it the road to all things happiness?

Let me delve in and have a look!

I RECALL SOMETHING I READ – It’s about changing the quality of your thoughts and I know you are all aware of these sayings but it doesn't hurt to be reminded once in a while. For years, I spent time thinking that I should have more, has I mention above - more material things, that is.

NOW THOUGH - THAT WAS ALL IN THE PAST AGAIN - Trying not to do past - Not that helpful to us, unless you visit a psychiatrist.

I believe the quality of our thoughts are more important to us to obtain the changes that we desire – CHANGE THE QUALITY OF YOUR THOUGHTS and there is a strong possibility that you change your direction. For you to experiment with.

SO BACK TO THE STORY – Steve Jobs and the realization of his existence – his last words!

He died a billionaire, something that we are all aspiring to from Wealthy Affiliate I am sure, you smile, but why not. You may believe that this is unrealistic but I feel that you believe in yourself and you live with passion, there is a road forward. You are at Wealthy Affiliate for Change - Are you not. Refrain from having limiting beliefs.

"I Can't PURSUE MY DREAMS BECAUSE I MAY FAIL" - Of course you can..., you are not going to fail.

Isn’t it sad that someone with so much wealth can leave this world with so little Joy, these were Steve Job's own words “wealth was only a fact of life that he was accustomed to” – we all know someone famous that left this world without embracing Joy – Michael Jackson, Robin Williams, Whitney Houston, Prince……I am sure you could add twenty more!

I think we can see that for these ‘superstars’ the money status they collated came to them and in their last days it became pointless, absolutely meaningless to all of them.

MONAL LISA NOT A SUPERSTAR - BUT FAMOUS FOR DIFFERENT REASONS

In my view wealth when grown accumulatively and earned becomes so much more meaningful and I am not saying that these superstars did not grow their own wealth, they did and it took lots of hard work - PASSIONS even!

I feel the foundations that we are preparing at Wealthy Affiliate are stable and sustainable and if you keep this basic fundamental intact, your business will grow and you will grow with it in a healthy and enjoyable way.

NOT THE FOUNDATIONS WE ARE AIMING FOR

I hope no one is sitting there and reading this but not believing that it is possible because I believe it is possible for any member to have what they want.

“LIVE YOUR DAYS WITH POWERFUL THOUGHTS AND YOUR DAY WILL BE POWERFUL” – You may have days when you do not want to do the – oh I must be positive thing, but persevere!

I DIGRESS….Steve Jobs

He talked about “LIFE” – From my life of poverty to a different style of life, I can tell you that I have lived in five star hotels, employed drivers to transport me around, bought the latest gadgets – even if I didn’t need them and as he says the material things can be found but the one thing that can’t be refunded is “LIFE”.

I don’t assimilate myself with Steve Jobs, I wouldn’t want to but I do find pleasure in observing the success of others and the Big Silver Range Rover that I have still yet to own but they are just beauty things that bring an element of enjoyment and some amount of pleasure and just for a very limited time.

Steve Jobs talked about the book that he should have finished reading and that was the “BOOK OF A HEALTHY LIFE”.

I hope that you do not cringe when I use the analogy of Wealthy Affiliate as the path of your successful future. The truth is that it may well be for many people and for some it may be another path and that is all acceptable.

It is quite possible that the new skills you learn within the Wealthy Affiliate platform are the skills that put the path to your next point of success – life can happen like this.

Mr Jobs, I DIGRESS AGAIN……..be observant of where we are in this journey, in some spiritual books they use the terminology “enlightenment” OR "awakened", just being in a state of knowing, this means to me.

It simply means take the time to treasure what you already have, your friends, your family, yourself and cherish these things because the truth is we do not know what is around the corner.

If you have desires to write a post that you have been thinking about for a while – write it. If you have been dreaming of that beach holiday, start planning it and if you want that chocolate donuts with your favorite coffee – hell do it!

Steve Jobs reinstates that the curtain will fall at some time, whichever stage of life we are in right now.

There is a stage in life that we reach, he says, where that $300 watch is no different to the $30 watch, they both tell the time, I take that analogy one step further and these days – who needs a watch, I don’t wear one.

Why am I writing these words, simple little Wayne. I have come to realize that I have done most of the things that are acquainted with money, seen the beauty in the world and the nastiness in people at times and the beauty in people.

The thing for me is that I have had the experience of the extremes and it has left me with no desire to want to keep chasing things – things do not always equal happy. Happy is here now, quite simple most of the time. No need for racing around.

SPEEDING HIGHWAYS - LEAVE THEM IN THE PAST

Steve Jobs went on to talk about other experiences and indulgence analogies, expensive hangovers, luxury bags, big house – small house, first class – economy class. You can feel and have the same experiences with billions of dollars or just a few dollars

You can feel sad and lonely in a 300 square foot property or in a 3000 square foot property and you can feel empty and lonely among a 1000 people. That is not a comfortable situation. I am pleased to say that these days I can be content and happy in my own company and equally the same with the company of 1000. He stated:

YOUR TRUE INNER HAPPINESS WILL NEVER COME FROM MATERIAL THINGS IN THIS WORLD – Now if you had told me this a few years ago, I would have simply said something along the lines of “well it’s OK for him he’s already got everything”. Thankfully I see things from a more balanced perspective some times.

TRUE HAPPINESS WAS TO TREASURE

Friends, family, talk, laugh, brothers and sisters and have fun, I think his message was. If it stops being fun – Stop! It's often about simple living.

LOYALTY IS NICE

In a recent post, I wrote, entitled “How are online scams perceived - let us lose it - keep it in the family”, I made a point of stating the importance of education and Steve Jobs wrote is five facts of undeniable facts of life

EDUCATION

• Teach your kids how to be happy and not to simply be rich. The value of things they will learn is not the same as price
  

• Eat your food as medicines or else your medicines become food
  

• When you are in a true and lasting relationship, you will never be left for another. It will take one good reason to hold onto what you have. Possibly, many to give up – Never give up.
  

• The difference between ‘being human’ and ‘being a human’, you can work that one out.
  

• You are loved when you are born and when you die, for some reason in between you have to manage.
  

HIS OTHER STRONG MESSAGE WAS DIRECTED AT WEALTHY AFFILIATE I AM SURE

If you want to walk far – WALK TOGETHER! The Wealthy Affiliate community reflects this TEAM CAMMORRADOARY.

FINALLY – TALKING ABOUT HIS DOCTORS

Aren't these doctors really quite logical.

• SUNLIGHT
  
• REST
  
• EXERCISE
  
• DIET
  
• SELF CONFIDENCE
  
• FRIENDS
  
• MAINTAIN THE BALANCE
  

I hope you can take a moment to absorb anything from this post, there are many logical but healthy observations.

Some of us may wish to use other inspirerer's such a Tony Robbins or perhaps Opera Winfrey or even Donald Trump – it doesn’t matter.

You to have what it takes to be a success in this business!

FINALLY, - "When you do not know what to do next, it's probably because you have done more than you have given yourself credit for - take a break, kick back for a while - it's probably that time."
