Listen To What Heroes Wealth Consultants John Assaraf and T. Harv Eker Say When They Answer the Heroes Question "Who are the HEROES in your life now?"
John Assaraf: The heroes in my life right now are my kids and Maria, my fiancée, my family and as I mentioned this amazing Creation that we have. I don’t have individuals that are heroes per say but I will suggest that teachers are heroes for me, our firefighters are heroes for me, our police departments are heroes for me and our leaders are heroes for me.
People who are serving us, serving our country, serving other people these people are heroes. People that are really doing the best they can to serve one another are heroes to me.
T-Harv Eker: My mom is a big hero to me. She is just a very strong person and full of heart and is very family oriented and full of love so I count my mom. I count my family and my kids and my wife.
I don’t know that I have a lot of heroes. I think you have to be your own hero, let me put it that way.
Again I don’t use the word so I think you have to respect yourself and have your own confidence not to be arrogant and all but anytime your looking outside of yourself for answers you’ve got a problem because they are never outside.
Nothing is outside of you, it all filters in so that why they say life is an illusion, because it is all the way you see things or the way you project things. If you paint someone as a hero, they are a hero. If you paint someone as a bum they are a bum it has nothing to do with them, it is all about you.
I do think that that there are definitely some people making a difference in this world. I like watching a lot of the people who are doing well financially and then they help their community or help the world at large.
I like seeing the actor and actresses and singers and athletes who are helping the aides victims in Africa, Jerry Lewis or those type people who have made it for themselves and then go and put their life’s energies into helping other causes and things like that.
Everyone can do it. I don’t look at the work I do is some type of charity although we do give the first program away with the book which is pretty phenomenal, a three day intensive but I look at it like this is what I am suppose to do and this is how I can help.
We a have program called Life Directions and the big question we constantly ask is “How can you help?” Again this may be a little foo foo to some people but hey at a certain point the amount of money stops being the importance and the fulfillment of helping is the importance.
Everybody who has ever gotten rich is going to tell you that. That after a while, after your few years or couple years of toys and feeling good about the whole thing you got to look elsewhere and the only way you can do that is to fulfill. You can actually feel fulfillment. It is not going to money or love or a relationship.
Fulfillment can only be felt by filling your life mission, by fulfilling your destiny. That is one of the things we are able to do for people is help them recognize their mission and then create a vision that makes that successful in the real world because if you cant live your mission on a daily basis what is the use of it?
If you say “This is my mission” and then you have to have some crappie job that you hate to make a few bucks to earn a living what kind of life is that.
So the ultimate situation is to find out what you are suppose to be doing on this earth, live it on a daily basis, make your money from it also so it’s a win win situation for everybody and then you to will be called a hero.
