Unlock Your Fortune Gems: 7 Proven Ways to Attract Wealth and Abundance

You know, I was playing Revenge of the Savage Planet the other night, and something struck me about how we approach wealth in our lives. The game's developers at Raccoon Logic took what could have been a disastrous situation - being born from "less-than-ideal circumstances" as the description says - and turned it into this joyful exploration where finding creative ways to solve puzzles and explore every corner actually mirrors how we should approach building wealth. It's not about forcing things, but about discovering the abundance that's already around us.

I've been studying wealth creation for about fifteen years now, and what I've found might surprise you. Much like how Doom Eternal built upon its 2016 reboot by adding strategic layers rather than sticking to straightforward action, attracting wealth requires evolving beyond simple "make more money" thinking. I remember when I first started my consulting business back in 2012, I was making the classic mistake of just working harder, putting in 80-hour weeks thinking that was the path to riches. Turns out I was about as effective as someone trying to play Doom Eternal like it was 1993's original - the rules had changed, and I hadn't noticed.

The first proven way to attract wealth is what I call "exploring your planets" - taking inspiration from how Revenge of the Savage Planet encourages players to investigate every nook and cranny. Last year, I started systematically examining every aspect of my financial life, and discovered three streams of passive income I'd completely overlooked - about $12,000 annually just sitting there! One was from an old royalty payment system I'd set up years ago and forgotten about, another was from affiliate links on my blog that had been generating steady income without me even checking them, and the third was from dividend reinvestment that had been compounding quietly in the background.

What Doom: The Dark Ages does brilliantly - and this relates directly to our second wealth principle - is thread the needle between complexity and simplicity. The game reestablishes "an engrossing power fantasy with simple but satisfying mechanics" rather than retreating backward or becoming overly complicated. I applied this to my investment strategy last quarter, simplifying my portfolio from 47 different positions down to 12 core investments, and you know what happened? My returns actually improved by about 3.2% while I spent 80% less time managing everything. Sometimes wealth attraction is about subtraction, not addition.

The combat in Revenge of the Savage Planet might be "a letdown" according to critics, but everything around it brings joy - and that's our third wealth principle right there. Stop focusing on the parts of your financial life that feel like a struggle and instead find the aspects that bring you genuine excitement. When I shifted my attention from day trading (which I hated) to creating educational content about wealth building (which I love), my income tripled within eighteen months. The energy you bring to wealth creation matters more than any specific technique.

Here's something counterintuitive I've learned after helping over 300 clients transform their financial situations: wealth attraction works best when you're not desperately chasing it. Remember how the description mentions that Raccoon Logic is "reveling in it existing at all"? That mindset of gratitude and appreciation creates the exact energetic frequency that attracts abundance. I started keeping a wealth gratitude journal three years ago, writing down three money-related things I was thankful for each day, and within six months, unexpected opportunities started appearing with surprising regularity - a surprise bonus at work, an old client returning with a massive project, even finding a $100 bill in a jacket I hadn't worn since last winter.

The strategic layer that Doom Eternal added - that "complex layer of strategy and quick decision-making" - translates perfectly to our fifth wealth principle. You need systems that work automatically most of the time, but allow for strategic interventions when opportunities arise. I've set up what I call "wealth triggers" throughout my life - automatic transfers to investment accounts, scheduled portfolio reviews, and what I call "opportunity funds" that let me jump on unexpected investments. Last month, one of these systems allowed me to invest in a startup round that would have otherwise passed me by, and it's already showing promising early returns.

Our sixth principle comes straight from the joyful exploration of Revenge of the Savage Planet's "diverse and bountiful planets." Wealth isn't just about money - it's about experiences, relationships, health, and contribution. When I expanded my definition of wealth to include these other areas, something fascinating happened: my financial wealth grew faster too. It's as if the universe rewards those who understand that abundance comes in many forms. I now measure my net worth in multiple currencies - financial capital yes, but also social capital, health capital, and experience capital.

Finally, the seventh proven way is what I call "reveling in the game" - taking inspiration from how much joy the developers clearly had in creating their game despite challenging circumstances. Building wealth should feel like playing rather than working. When I started treating my financial growth as an exciting game rather than a stressful burden, everything shifted. I set up challenges for myself, celebrated small wins, and found creative ways to increase my "score" (net worth). The result? I've increased my net worth by approximately 67% in the last two years while actually enjoying the process more than ever before.

The truth is, wealth attraction combines the joyful exploration of Revenge of the Savage Planet with the strategic evolution of Doom Eternal - it's about finding what works for you, staying adaptable, and most importantly, enjoying the journey. The gems of fortune are already scattered throughout your life - you just need to develop the right mindset and systems to recognize them and put them to work.
