Today I would like to revisit a concept that we have talked about many times – the concept of Be Do Have. I want to revisit it because it is one of those concepts that you could think about everyday, and everyday you would have a new or deeper insight.

The Be Do Have Principle literally applies to every area of your life. It is the idea that before you can Have something like joy, health, or wealth, you must first decide to Be the kind of person who has those things and then Do the things necessary to Have them.

The reason this concept is so vital to talk about is because most people think about Be Do Have in reverse order or out of order.

For example, many people believe that when Have a promotion, then they will Be a manager and then they will Do the things a manager does. This is out of order. You must first decide to Be the kind of person who is a manager, and then start to Do the things that a manager does, and only THEN you will Have the title and benefits of being a Manager. And once you Have the title of Manager, you must continue to Be that type of person and continue to Do those activities or you will no longer Have the benefits or title.

Another powerful example is joy. If you want to Have joy, the first step is to decide to Be a joyful person (and yes this is a decision!), then you will start to DO the things that joyful people do, and then you will HAVE joy. Joy is present your life when you are not a victim and have decided you have the choice of controlling the way you view your situation. You will never Have joy, unless you first decide to Be a Joyful person and continually Do the things that Joyful people Do.

Another example is with wealth. If you want to Have wealth, then you must first decide to Be wealthy, and then start Doing the things that wealthy people Do. Wealthy people give to charity, they act a certain way, they pay attention to their assets, they read financial books and they save. Because of the things they Do, they Have wealth.

Everything in this world is created twice. First in your mind, and then in reality. Most people do not get what they want out of life because they do not know what they want out of life. Be Do Have doesn’t allow that. The Be stage is the creation stage. You must decide what you want in order to figure out what you are going to Be. And once you create the picture of what you want to Be and know what you want to Have, then the Dpostage is simply taking action.

When you create an image of what you want to Have and begin to Be the type of person that has that, and THEN you take action and Do the necessary activities, there is nothing that can stop you and you will HAVE all that you want and more.

Remember these 3 words, in this order – Be, Do, Have – it really is that simple.
