I wish I’d come across Roger Hamilton’s Wealth Dynamics many years before I did. It provides an insightful framework that explains why certain people seem to be able to create wealth easily; whilst others have struggled all their lives. Established on ancient Chinese wisdom known as the I-Ching, Wealth Dynamics is based on the premise that everyone has an innate genius that has a natural but very specific ‘flow’. Recognising this and understanding how it operates is absolutely crucial before you launch into any endeavour. Your own, ingrained characteristics will also dictate the nature of your support network; the complementary characteristics you’ll need to have present in your team in order to establish and maintain your wealth. Here are some of his most insightful and helpful quotes when it comes to understanding the dynamics of wealth (though he acknowledges some of these come from ancient sources):
“To know and not to do is not yet to know.” “Think it, ink it: Do it, review it.” “Your passion is your compass.” “What you see is always what you get.” “Invest more of your time; spend less of it.” “Plan to fail.” “Time is your most precious asset.” “Sustainable wealth follows a rhythm.” “You are the result of your choices.” “When you resources you accumulate.” “You settle for your standards.” “Your well (of wealth) is in your words.” “Harmony is the foundation of wealth.” “Time has seasons.” “Ask and you shall receive.” (Ok, Jesus of Nazareth got there first on this one :-) Let me know which ones you like the best. Ever wondered why you habitually find yourself drawn to a particular kind of character? This video may provide you with a bit of insight. There is a sense in which these archetypes each has a complementary opposite. In real life, someone who is predominantly led by the archetype of the Lover, for example, may find themselves drawn to those who strongly exhibit the Warrior. They see in the other something that they find hard to access in themselves. This doesn't mean that they find each other easy to get on with sometimes there can be fireworks between them but they do seem to have a fascination, even admiration, for their counterpart, whilst fully aware that they could never bring themselves to do the things the other often does.
Remember that opposites attract. Connection develops through likeness; passion from polarity. That's worth repeating so it sinks in a bit more: Likeness creates connection: Polarity breeds passion The Sovereign knows that she can make things happen by her command utilising her position of authority. Yet she has an admiration for the Mystic who makes things happen almost magically through his influence. They both use power as a means to an end, but do so in rather different ways. The Warrior, for all his toughness and resilience, longs to find comfort in the arms of an adoring Lover; and she in turn admires the strength and tenacity in him that she feels she lacks herself. The Sage may often not suffer fools gladly yet can appreciate the perceptive wit of the Jester and benefit from the light-hearted approach to life that he brings. The Sage is sage enough to realise that there is such a thing as ‘the paralysis of analysis’ and that everyone needs a break from learning sometime. Likewise the mature Jester does recognise the value of the Sage's outlook - that some things do need to be treated seriously and a life of complete frivolity is not fulfilling. Do you know your predominant archetypes? Would you say that you are, in fact, attracted to people who fit a complementary profile? |
