Here’s the first principle of prosperity:
Wealthy people believe “I am the creator of my own reality”.
Poor people believe “Life happens to me”.
Do you see the difference between these two very different perspectives? The first one comes from a place of power, because you can do something about your circumstances, if you believe you’re the source of what happens to you.
On the other hand, the second opinion, makes you a victim of circumstances. So you’re in no position to improve your situation, financially, or otherwise. You’re just where you are, because of genetics, your social status, or family inheritance.
There’s no way around it. Whether your goal is to attract more money into your life, greater personal balance, or more family vacations, you must start from a basic belief that you are the creator of your reality. What you think, and do matters!
To see where your beliefs may be helping, or hindering your progress toward greater prosperity, try this quick and simple exercise.
–> On a scale of 0 -10 (where 0 = no resistance or discomfort, and 10 means you feel very strong resistance and discomfort), indicate how you feel about each statement. You may want to print this out to make is easier to view your results.
