The Prophet said "Whoever believes in Allah and His Messenger, offers prayer perfectly and fasts the month of Ramadan, will be granted Paradise as of right by Allah, no matter whether he fights in Allah's cause of remains in the land where he is born." The people said,"Oh Messenger of Allah, shall we acquaint the people with this good news?". He said, "Paradise has one hundred grades (and ranks) which Allah has reserved for the mujahideen who fight in His Cause, and the extent of difference (distance) between each of the two grades is like distance between the heavens and the earth. So, when you ask Allah for something, ask for the Al-Firdaus, which is the best and the hights part of Paradise. I (the narrator) think he said, "Above it (Al-Fridaus is the throne of the Most Merciful and from it originate the rivers of Paradise." - narrated by Bukhari from Abu Hurayrah
How much money do you want to have in 5 years? $100k? $250k? $500k? $5 million or more?
If you choose the lowest amount, why did you do that? You hav a choice of getting any amount from $100k to $5 million in the next 5 years. It is completely up to you. Nobody is telling you what to choose. So why would anyone choose $100 000? Yet in life that is exactly what many people do. They settle for $100k when they could just as easily have $5 million. Choosing less money shows a lack of ambition and a lack of confidence. Do not start out by settling. Always shoot for the top. Every great athlete and every great billionaire goes for the gold, not the bronze. If it were me answering this question, I would scratch out $5 million and write in $50 billion! That is the attitude you must have to make it big.
What is your financial dream? Winning the lottery? Getting a good job with good benefits? Owning your own home? Having unlimited passive income from investments?
What you dream about is what you will do. If you cannot even dream of doing big things, you will never do anything big in life. I spent my first few weeks in Manhattan dreaming of what I would do with a huge piece of vacant real estate on New York's West Side that was owned by the bankrupt Pennsylvania and New York Central Transportation Company. After 18 months of hard work and focus, I took an option to the property, worth $62 million, with no money down. I conceived the Javits Center on the land. That is the power of big dreams. What kind of big dreams excite you and make you feel great? Do not worry about whether you can do it. That does not matter. It does not cost anything to dream. Spend your time enjoying your big dreams.
Which statement best describes your financial situation? I am very satisfied financially? Somewhat satisfied? Unsatisfied but feel hopeless? My financial situation is unsatisfactory but I want more?
This question shows how hungry you are. Hungry people work harder and are much more motivated to make great strides forward in life. If you are satisfied with your current financial situation, what is going to motivate you to do all the things you need to do to become rich and successful? You have to set higher and higher goals. You have to want more or you will start slipping backwards fast. - Donald Trump
When you make dua, don't ask for the small, "Oh Allah admit me to the Paradise". Ask for the big, the grand! "Ya Allah, guide me and take me to Paradise Firdaus alongside Rasulullah SAW!" - Ust Khalil
