Enriching your life

Take any hundred people at the start of their working careers and follow them for forty years until they reach retirement age.

Here’s what you’ll find, according to the Social Security Administration: only 1 will be wealthy, 4will be financially secure, 5 will continue working (not because they want to but because they have to),36 will be dead, and 54 will be dead broke (dependent on their meager Social Security checks, relatives, friends, even charity for a minimum standard of living.

That’s 5 percent successful and 95 percent unsuccessful.

What is the secret to joining the 5 percent group?

You can name a number of secrets. But one is simply using the right words.

I read a wonderful book called Magic Words That Bring You Riches. At first the title put me off but I read the book anyway. Turns out there are some real gems found inside.

Tips on how to get the best table in any restaurant by saying 2 Magic Words. The author gives you the words to use.

In addition, the author shares the exact words to enrich your life, financially and in numerous other ways, too.

As an example of enriching your life, here’s a story (not included in the book.)

A blind man was begging for money. He had a sign with the words:

“I’m Blind Please Help”

These words only brought a few coins to where he was sitting. The man would starve with this approach.

Enter our hero. A female takes the sign and writes a new message that read:

“It’s A Beautiful Day And I Can’t See It”

What happened next? I’ll tell you what happened.

People started showering down coins to where the man was sitting. Why? Because the first sign had words that didn’t convey enough to enrich the situation. The second sign contained the right words which made all the difference in the world.

In case you’re curious, you can see the video here .

The video is called, “The power of words a girl changed a blind man’s day.”

Best,

Cedric
