Getting the Mindset for Wealth
This entry was posted on 4/5/2007 8:04 PM and is filed under Attitude.
Are you one of the people who thinks negatively about money, something like:
"I'll never be rich" or "rich people are greedy" or "money isn't important"
Some of these ideas are rooted early in childhood, from things you might have heard your parents or relatives say. Some of them might come from subtle programming you received in high school or college. But, it needn't be so.
Let's examine the popular but self defeating phrase - "I'll never be rich". The mind is very powerful in it's capability to act on thoughts. In this case, the moment one thinks "I'll never be rich", it will become a self fulfilling prophecy. There are any number of destructive phrases that people unwittingly use all the time without realizing they are only undermining themselves. Some other examples: "I'll never loose weight", "I can't do ....", "I"ll never be...". Each of these phrases is an instant excuse for you to stay stuck in your present state.
I can tell you from personal experience that if you are determined to lead a miserable existence from negative thinking because it is a familiar comfort zone then you will be wildly successful at it. Instead, you can be wildly successful from thinking positively and have a good time doing it.
Even if there are other areas of your life that you would like to change besides your wealth, all of it starts with the mind. No person, no course, no counselor, no self-help book will change you until you are willing to change. Do not despair if you are not sure how the change will come about; once you are determined to change, seeking the help to change will come much easier and will be more effective.
When it comes to wealth, we have been programmed as a society with a variety of negative messages that come from many sources. These messages work silently in the background to suppress the desire to lead a comfortable life. There is an endless amount of material I could write about that and why it is happening, but let's focus on how to defeat that negative programming. In the future we will deal with that and much more to help improve the attitude for wealth. Meanwhile, if you are ready for change and would like to get started, here is one resource to check out.
