Developing a Millionaire Mindset: The Chronicles

Embarking on the Millionaire Mindset Journey: Day 1

Today is the first day of my journey. It will take me 18 months. By that time, with the guidance of millionaire mentors, Wealthy Affiliate – the perfect platform for internet business, and my spiritual strength, I hope my goal of making my first million will be realised.

Those who have already achieved this ambition can teach me so much from their trials and errors and their determination not to give up in the face of opposition, financial insecurity and repeated failures. I’m lucky to be acquainted with 3 and will soon start exploring more. Apparently, one thousand millionaires are born every day!

For me, this journey represents the colossal task of putting aside a lifetime of sacrificing myself for the good of others and always living life second-hand. From now on, I will devote myself, allowing no distraction to my thinking and judgement, and so my true nature.

Breaking the Shackles of a Second-Hand Life

The second-hand life means that everything one does is conditional on the whims and happiness of others. I have been indoctrinated into believing this is natural and that selfishness is shameful. This means that I always compromise my own values to make others happy. Now, it’s my turn to live my own happiness fully.

Living my life firsthand is the only way to live, I can see now. No one can think for someone else in the same way that no one can eat or breathe for someone else. There is no collective race; there are unique individuals. My values have always been well-defined, so I can now bring them to the surface instead of concealing them to protect others.

This is a massive shift in psychology. It may isolate and brand me as an unsociable person because I assert my own judgements and thinking, and therefore my creativity, ferociously. I am what I think, and what I think, all on my own, creates my ideals.

Facing Social Opposition and Embracing Change

Already, when people ask me what adventure I am involved in at the moment and I outline my new pathway, there is shock and resistance. Everyone wishes to dissuade me from wanting to be a millionaire as if it is vulgar and even sinful or criminal.

I can already feel the darkness of criticisms about my new path because people around me have been indoctrinated, too, but are still unconscious of the weakness of living life second-hand. They are vicariously nervous and convinced I will be exiled to the underworld.

To pursue personal wealth, I must be determined. I must have 100% self-belief. I firmly believe that:

“Money is the creation of the best power within you, and your passkey to trade your effort for the effort of the best among men.” (Ayn Rand; ‘For the New Intellectual)

Money will be the product of my intellect and creative ability instead of art, science, philosophy or other vague human values.

Money as a Measure of Personal Best

I have never paid attention to money before. I earned it in small amounts hour by hour, but I rarely counted or bragged about it. It was something separate to me, something slightly soiled. But now I have publically retired from such piecemeal money-earning, from the drudgery of a full-time job, I am in awe of it. My creative efforts will have the highest value possible.

When I achieve my goal, I can redefine my value as a human being. My energy and effort will no longer line someone else’s pocket, and I will not be sequestered behind the scenes. Then, I can relate to others living firsthand and ideally.

My inner power has always been dissipated because I donated it to others as a teacher and socially aware person. Now, I can potentise my power and let it flow out of channels made by various creative means. I can be genuinely productive and get fair remuneration for it.

What I think, I attract; what I feel, I attract; and what I imagine, I create.

Breaking Free from the Land of Sacrificers

The weight of guilt during my life has been significant, even though I was unaware of it until I stopped working for others. My personal aspirations and ambitions have always come second. I would steal time without payment to chip away at them. My integrity has, therefore, consistently been undermined.

I reject mediocrity in all its forms. And I reject those who judge others and their products as mediocre. Every human has the potential, the diamond inside, to achieve the best possible, which is what happiness is.

True happiness and a constant smile come what may be the ultimate sign of living firsthand. Freedom is using the fullness of one’s mind to live every second.

Embodying the Giants: Supreme Confidence and the Creation of Wealth

Ayn Rand has genuinely inspired me during the transition from a sacrificer to a first-hander. Three of her fictional protagonists, Howard Roark in The Fountainhead and John Galt/Hank Rearden in Atlas Shrugged, have led me to this point. They are giants, and so am I.

My confidence is a torrent flowing back to me as I start on my new path of wealth creation. It will be supreme shortly. My spirituality will blaze up and impact the world. It is said that human beings are 100% physically evolved but only 10% spiritually, which is easy to see when we examine the state of the world today (2023). How can one live one’s potential while continually sacrificing to others?

I will attract wealth, health, good fortune and success as a hero living fully on Planet Earth. I will follow in the footsteps of the self-made wealthy by leaving my legacy to others.
