"Wealth is the ability to fully experience life."
- Henry David Thoreau

When you dont have a whole lot of money it can be easy to forget that true wealth means having much more than mere money because youre so hot and heavy in pursuit of it -- the money that is. Thats actually great news because it means that you dont have to wait until youre flush with cash and have multiple cash cows or income streams to begin experiencing wealth. You can enjoy at least some of it now.

You already know that visualization can be a powerful tool in motivating yourself to accomplish your goals. What I have found is that giving yourself fulfilling experiences now can help you with creating some pretty powerful visualizations that will help you to get there. For starters, take some time out to enjoy some form of luxury on a regular basis. I dont care if you have to save up money for months in order to do it.

It is important that you, number one, carpe diem, seize the day and live as though you dont know how much time you have left because you dont. Two, place yourself into scenes and experiences that mimic what the experience of your life will be like after all your hard work has made your dream into a reality. You know, Earl Nightingale said that we become what we think about most of the time.

So if you create a reality around yourself where your mind is fixated on wealth, which includes treating yourself to the experiences of the wealthy, it actually helps you to attain that goal. You know, for a long time I felt that I did not deserve luxury until I was rich. I wouldnt buy new clothes, I wouldnt go out and enjoy myself for drinks or dinners, I would not take vacations. I figured that Id do all of that when Im rich and then I could do it the way that I want to do it.

Well, I watched an entire decade pass me by with this philosophy. Rich or not, tomorrow is not promised to any of us. Another component of this is watching after your health. All the money in the world wont do you a bit of good without great health. Success can sometimes be an enemy of health because many times we are not taught balance in how we pursue it.

Even though we may have the work ethic and the dedication that it takes to become successful the type of lifestyle of work, work, work may lead to things like obesity from unhealthy eating habits, high blood pressure from stress and pressure that we put on ourselves or that we allow to be put on ourselves, diet related diabetes as well as rigid joints from a sedentary lifestyle that leads to fractures, replacements, breaks and sprains later in life.

It is your health that will largely determine what quality of life will be for you at any income level. Focus on things like detoxification, whether thats your colon or even getting your other organs cleansed. Ridding your body of toxins goes a long way to help increase your quality of life by deterring the onset of degenerative diseases.

Drinking ionized water is another great health measure to take. Ionized water helps to antioxidize your body as well as provide an alkaline environment where diseases cannot exist. Also, get regular massages to distress, especially if you are someone who is prone to or already has been diagnosed with hypertension and/or high blood pressure.

Take care of your health, take time to kick back and relax, spend time with those you love, take a portion of what youve earned and give it away to someone less fortunate than yourself. That is experiencing wealth. Redefining your definition of what true wealth is will not only help you to enjoy it better when you reach your goals but it will also enable you to enjoy some of its simple joys long before you even get to that point financially.
