Secrets of the Millionaire Mind

WEALTH PRINCIPLE:
If you are not fully, totally, and truly committed
to creating wealth, chances are you won’t.

The Wealth Files - 71
Are you willing to work sixteen hours a day? Rich people 
are. Are you willing to work seven days a week and give up 
most of your weekends? Rich people are. Are you willing to 
sacrifice seeing your family, your friends, and give up your 
recreations and hobbies? Rich people are. Are you willing to 
risk all your time, energy, and start-up capital with no guar-
antee of returns? Rich people are.
For a time, hopefully a short time but often a long time, rich 
people are ready and willing to do all of the above. Are you?
Maybe you’ll be lucky and you won’t have to work long or 
hard or sacrifice anything. You can wish for that, but I sure 
wouldn’t count on it. Again, rich people are committed 
enough to do whatever it takes. Period.
It’s interesting to note, however, that once you do commit, 
the universe will bend over backward to support you. One of 
my favorite passages is by explorer W. H. Murray, who wrote 
the following during one of the first Himalayan expeditions:
Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, 
always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there 
is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and 
splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then 
providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, 
raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings, and 
material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his 
way.  
In other words, the universe will assist you, guide you, 
support you, and even create miracles for you. But first, you 
have to commit!
