Golden Threads Publication Ltd. » Chapters http://www.yourgoldenthreads.com Simple Steps to Success Fri, 16 Sep 2011 16:48:39 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 Wealth http://www.yourgoldenthreads.com/chapters/wealth/ http://www.yourgoldenthreads.com/chapters/wealth/#comments Tue, 18 May 2010 11:48:55 +0000 admin http://www.businessbootcamp.tv/?p=121 The Wealth chapters are dedicated to improving your financial situation. Before you begin reading, there are two things that you should know.
The first is that this section isn’t a ‘get rich quick’ guide. That quackery is best left to other books or Ponzi schemes. What is more, it is worth bearing in mind that money swiftly gained is often swiftly lost. The newspapers are littered with tales of lottery winners who have blown their fortunes.

The second point is that your Wealth Threads are closely knitted to your Spiritual Threads. Wealth, in its naked form, is defined in the dictionary as ‘abundance of money or of precious commodities’. To a certain extent, however, your Wealth Threads are also an extension of your state of mind. One person’s rainy day fund can be another person’s sumptuous riches. Your personal definition of wealth is dictated by your background, your ambitions and your priorities in life. Rich is a feeling, not an amount of money.

It is part of human nature to want to be more, do more and have more. These desires push you towards a more abundant life. You cannot choose your starting point, but it is your vision, your plan and your actions that will create your Wealth Threads, one by one.

Career Threads feed, clothe and shelter you and your loved ones. They get you up in the morning, keep you up late at night and are reasons for being, doing and having.

Your Career Threads furnish you with a strong sense of purpose, propel you onwards and are woven tightly with the other threads in your Golden Rope. Your Wealth Threads are closely bound to them. Your Family Threads are nourished by them. If your work is ‘the thing that makes your heart sing’, strong Career Threads will enrich and strengthen your Spiritual Threads too.

Underpinning every successful day is the successful use of time: the ability to complete tasks and fulfil responsibilities within a set period.

Time is fixed and its march is unstoppable. It is also a great leveller: our lives may be at different stages and in different places, but we share the same hours. What you do with those hours and how well you use them is down to you.

It also explores the positive, important roles that relationships of all kinds have to play in your life.

This is because your family keeps you grounded in success, keeps you motivated and keeps you focused when times are tough. You all share and enjoy one another’s lives. You are all on a journey together. When you want to cry, your family builds you back up and makes you smile again.

Employers looking for salespeople often make beelines for candidates with young families. Why? Because these employees tend to be ambitious and highly motivated. They have families who support them – and who require support in return. These workers won’t walk out if they have a bad day.

The journalist Erma Bombeck described her own family very neatly. She wrote, ‘We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another’s desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together.’

Their ‘common thread’, of course, was love. Likewise, every member of your family represents a Golden Thread in your life.

The first two are straightforward; the third, less so. The words ‘spirit’ and ‘spiritual’ tend to conjure images of supplicants in prayer, or people in kaftans waving dream catchers around.

The spirit is a challenging concept because it isn’t tangible. You can’t see or touch it, but it’s always there. Whatever it is, it’s very private. Often, if you ask people about their beliefs, faith or personal philosophy, you can tell from their body language or stony silences that they are uncomfortable.

It’s a no-go area for some – but we are going there anyway.

Many people avoid mention of the spiritual, because they don’t want to impose or intrude upon other people’s private beliefs – or lack of them – in any way. This is an understandable decision.

However your spirit, or your sense of self, is key to the way you live your life – regardless of what you think or believe.

In other words you cannot change your future by staying as you are; it is futile even to try.

Now, as a newly fledged rope maker, you must embrace change. You are now ready to embark upon a learning curve. When you take away as much as you can from your actions, experiences and opportunities, you head for the sky, growing and strengthening your Golden Threads all the while.

This section explores the various ways in which improvements to your eating habits and to your exercise regime can enrich other areas of your life, by creating the time, space and energy for new possibilities and projects.

The Health Threads run through every area of your life. It follows that when the quality of your health improves, so does every other thread in your life.
