Unfortunately humans have become acclimatised to have an adverse attitude towards wealth and finances. Yes, money is the powerful driving force needed to uplift nations worldwide and nothing can transpire without it. And yes, due to greed many have committed evil acts in pursuit of it but money is not the enemy; the mind is. They say it is easier to control the wind than it is the mind.
A self fulfilling prophecy is a belief that we indoctrinate in our thinking habits so often yet unconsciously that without realising we allow it to materialise to become our very own tangible realities. Put simply when we think negative and limiting thoughts about money we experience financial woes that could have been avoided, conversely when we think positive thoughts of abundance and prosperity we are more likely we are to achieve financial freedom.
One myth that we have misled ourselves to believe is that the secret to happiness is money! Happiness is not found in wealth, in jewels or anything material – it’s found within. We spend our entire life looking for that string of pearls elsewhere only to realise it was around our necks all along. Happiness is a state of mind and not a material object. Happiness is a personal choice.
Another mistake we make is when we are narrow minded and limiting in our inner thoughts and words. Words lead to actions, which become our lifestyles. How often do we say over and over “I will never get out of debt” “I am doomed to be poor” “I’m forever battling?” “Life is so tough”. If the law of attraction is anything to go by and I truly believe it is then if we send these self-disparaging messages into the universe surely what we put in is exactly what we will get out!
Think of wealth in abundance and light and have an optimistic and hands-on approach to your finances. Own your situations and take control of your financial destiny with a self-empowering attitude. Possess money; don’t let money possess you. Take control of debt; don’t let debt take control of you. But mostly do not allow money to define your state of mind or inner peace, the decision to experience contentment lies within.
