Understanding How Money Works
This is the dreaded topic no one likes to discuss, but I promise this won’t hurt. We won’t be administering any shots or pulling teeth. Before we continue though, let’s do a quick recap. Previously, we talked about the importance of surrounding yourself with people who have what you want. This is important because you can’t spend your time with people who bring you down when you want to go higher.
Now let me explain that I’m not telling you to ditch your friends and family. However, it has to be noted that there is a correlation between the people you spend time around and your income. Think about your social circle and how they relate to money. Are they happy with their lives and financially independent, or are they always worried and broke?
You need to come to a clearer picture of how money works and learn from those who have achieved the kind of success that you want for yourself. These people must be doing something right; spend time with these people and learn what you can from them.
People who have managed to get to the point where they enjoy financial freedom are aware that money is nothing more or less than another form of energy. When you think the right way about money, you will have little trouble attracting it to you. Many think that the only way to become a success is by years of hard work ? not to take anything away from work, but it’s not the whole story.
The trick is to have a positive relationship with money in order to attract it. After all, if money is nothing more than energy ? there’s nowhere you have to go to get ? it’s just a matter of attracting it. It’s pure energy and it’s all around you.
This is the secret that the wealthy understand and the major principle that separates the wealthy from the poor. And this is why it’s important to feel good about what you do for a living, because the better you feel about it, the better your relationship to the money aspect of working becomes. Let me explain.
If you want to become successful and financially independent, you need to feel good about what you do for a living. People who are successful are so in large part because they love what they do. You can make money doing some thing which you don’t like, of course; but this will always should you back from being as successful as you want to be. This is because you are doing something which is at odds with your real goals for your life.
You also have to keep company wit people who have money already; notice how differently they behave. You’ll never hear wealthy people say “I can’t afford it”. They are well aware that money is a form of energy and there is no such thing as not having enough; just not attracting it effectively. Your attitude (or energy alignment) determines how well you will be able to attract this energy to you. The wealthy feel good about money, while the poor worry about money.
In order to attract this energy to you, all you need to do is to establish a positive relationship with money. This will draw wealth to you like a magnet.
