Did you know that your attitude toward money affects many different aspects of your life. How you feel about money and wealth affects not only the amount of money a person tends to accumulate but also how happy they are in life. Changing the way you look at income, investing and wealth can literally change your life as well as make you a happier person, in general.
Now, your parents and society didn't set up to leave you with this legacy of mediocrity. It is simply an unfortunate fact that while we all wish to be wealthy, society teaches us in some different ways that being rich is bad. We are taught that rich people are bad and that wanting to be wealthy isn't something desirable. It is not your fault though and these teachings can be unlearned. You can overcome these obstacles and unlock the door to happiness and riches.
First, the belief that you need money to make money is sometimes taken a gospel truth. If you feel that you are doomed to the social class or tax bracket that you currently inhabit, this might be a belief that you hold to be true. You see wealthy people who are able to invest large sums in stock and business ventures. They reap big rewards and a loss is only a small sum of what they own so it barely phases them.
Sure, it is absolutely true that these wealthy individuals are investing only a small portion of their portfolio, you can be sure that they calculate the risks and rewards before doing so. You can also be sure that most of these titans of business didn't start out with these great sums. Many of them have actually lost fortunes and had to rebuild their lives two or three times. They understand true wealth and they hold no limitations in their mind concerning what they feel they can achieve in life. For these men and women, money isn't coveted or prized. It is only a method for keeping score or charting their success. It's just a number.
Another fallacy about wealth is that if you are to become wealthy it must come from someone else. In order for you to have large sums of money it is necessary that it be taken from other people. The more you have, the less they have. If you win then someone else must lose. In order for you to become fat with cash, someone else is going without dinner tonight. This belief must strike close to your heart and you might feel that you never want to be the cause of another human being's discomfort. You would never want to take from someone else so you can have something that you desire.
The truth is that wealth comes more often when you help other people. The world will gladly fill your pockets if you can solve some of their biggest problems. If you can build a better mouse trap or find a way to provide value or save people time and effort then the world will beat a path to your door. Greed demands that we take from others. Wealth is about helping others and providing value and making lives easier and happier.
The last lie that we have all been told is that money is the root of all evil. Most of us have heard this and been taught it since we were children. You might even despise wealthy people and their apparent greediness. In your mind you might even worry that you will lose your friends and family if you were to become rich. You worry that you'd change and become arrogant or that people will become jealous and despise you because of how much money you have.
While it might be true that there are people who are filled with greed, this doesn't mean that you have to become one of them. The majority of the world's richest people are able to do great things for humanity thanks to their riches. In addition, there is nothing saying that you are going to become overwhelmed with evil just because you become wealth. In fact, you might find that you are more kind and considerate of others. You are able to care for your family and friends in the manner that you have dreamed of. You are able to donate to charities that you believe in. Overall, this change very well might be for the better and not worse. It is greed and loving money more than people that will bring about evil in men's hearts.
Your thoughts about money and your fears about how it might change your life are just a few aspects of investing and wealth building that all of us struggle with. Being able to wrestle these misguided thoughts into submission and replace them with more positive thoughts can change how wealth comes to you in your life. Often our subconscious holds us back and keeps us from becoming wealthy. We are done before we have even begun all thanks to our own mind. Conquer your mind and you can conquer the world. You have grand thoughts and big things that you wish to do in this life and the world is willing to pay you handsomely for helping.
