Becoming a "Mental Millionaire"

With my goals in line for the year, I now have no reason why I should not achieve my goals and more, the only thing stopping me is me. Last year I found my self more depressed than I have ever been, and in a scary place as far as my personal beliefs, how I valued myself, and how I saw my life unfolding. 

In Dec. of 2015 I quit my day job, and was unemployed for a couple of months and In those months I discovered 2 me's. One who slept till 12pm and wondered where my week went, and another who woke up early ate a good breakfast had a productive day and felt better overall. I became determined to improve my life by any means, and become a producer vs consumer in society. 

I began organizing  my "vision". Now that I have my goals in line it's all a matter of execution. I realized that nothing will come quickly, or better yet easy. I must train my body/mind to operate in a way it has never operated before. "To achieve something you have never achieved, you must become someone you have never been". No change comes without resistance. 

I am now mastering the art of the "scramble" learning how to become as productive as I can, each and every day. Training my mind to operate at times it never has for longer than its ever worked, I must fight social temptations and keep my vision, I must learn to LOVE reading, LOVE writing, and better yet LOVE all forms of education. 

This morning I began my goal to master daily meditation. I found - http://tunein.com/radio/Learn-To-Meditate---Medita...

I hope to become an example of productivity and work ethic. I'd love to hear about others struggle to become a "mental millionaire".

Personally, I have always found theory overrated and action underrated. I have found the most success when I have got up and just "did it". I have also found that mental images of money are less valuable than actual money :)

I'm more interested in hearing about your rationale for quitting your day job and how that factored into your overall plan. Were you already wealthy enough that quitting the day job freed up resources to expand the investment empire, or have you consequently struggled to pay your bills?
