It is official. America is in an all-out recession causing many to scramble to survive financially and emotionally. How you deal with it will determine your ultimate success.

A crisis can put everything in perspective, but why wait to be proactive? Act now so you will never have to experience that regret. There is no excuse for not living every day as if it were your last. It's time for you to become the da Vinci of your life circumstances moving forward.

The "Reallionaire Journey Journal" is designed to share the steps, methods and eternal truths that empowered me to discover my values, goals, purpose, and ability to achieve results and experience profound fulfillment. There are steps to the exercise. Do them at your own pace. There is no time limit. They deserve your undivided attention.

What is a 'Reallionaire?' A Reallionaire is a person who pursues their purpose and passion with authenticity, sincerity and honesty, whether they have a million dollars in the bank or a nickel in their pocket.

First, what does being rich from the inside out mean to you?

For me, being rich from the inside out means being aware of the great wealth and value that you possess naturally - with or without material gain. It means recognizing your talents and putting them to work to attain what your heart desires. That doesn't mean it has to be yours, but remember: We often mix up the dream with what it takes to achieve the dream and that can sometime throw off the definition of success.

The thought of living a dream life seems like a fairy tale to many people, but the reality is that you can live the life you have always wanted just by knowing your real purpose. Once you change your mind about what's possible, you'll change your life.

How well do you know yourself? Are you on the right path? What are your values? Your values are what you deem worthwhile or desirable.

That includes the people in your life; where you live, the things you do, the things you have; what you know. This is the key to your value system. These are the factors that will drive you to your purpose in life.
