Do you have a reserve tank?
I would check your reserve tank and make sure it’s filled up as we’re heading into one of the busiest and most expensive time of the year for Americans; The Holiday’s.
When I was in high school I drove a yellow, convertible VW Beetle or “Bug,” as I called it. It was a cool car!! One unique thing about it was that it had a reserve gas tank in it. I never ran out of gas! By the way, gas was only $1.25 per gallon back then. I didn’t have much wealth in terms of money year ago, so the reserve came in handy!
The lesson of having a “reserve” of our resources is vital for today! Having a reserve takes away worry, apprehension and fear. It helps us focus with clarity!
You can create more than enough of what you need, so you don’t need to fret about not having enough. Having a reserve also helps manage your emotional life so you are free to create, explore and take action.
There are 3 key areas to create reserves:
Time
Money
Love
Consider your response to the following questions:
1. What would a reserve of time for me look like?
How could I give it away? Can I say “no” when one more holiday obligation came my way?
2. How much is a reserve of money for me?
Could I pay for all my holiday expenses upfront? Who could I donate to?
3. A reserve of love for me would be evident by?
Example: I would have time to hang out with my family; be present and available to them.
Check your reserve tank and make sure it’s filled up as we’re heading into one of the busiest and most expensive time of the year for Americans; The Holiday’s.
Create a plan to get your personal reserve tank filled in each of these key areas. Take action toward getting more reserve this week. Take extra time with your kids, turn off the TV, take a walk, save your pocket change in a jar, or get to bed early. Maybe it’s time to simplify your life in order to attain true “wealth”.
If so, I have an opportunity for you this week. You are invited to attend the INATM club Thursday at noon. We will be discussing how to clean up 2007 to get ready for a brilliant 2008. Click here for further details about the INATM club.
