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.
I’m not suggesting you dump your friends, but I am suggesting you consider the nature of your environment. It is a fact that your salary falls within a certain percentage of the people you spend most of your time with. Think about how the people around you relate to money. Are they enjoying financial freedom or do they constantly complain about being broke?
You have to become more aware of how money works and to spend more of your time with people who have money and have it coming in consistently. When you associate with those who already have achieved your goals, you can learn from them. After all, if they have achieved financial freedom, they have to be doing something right.
Wealthy people understand that money is nothing more than energy and when they have the right mindset concerning money, they consistently get it. Most people think they can only enjoy financial freedom after putting out the blood, sweat and tears to get it; but that couldn’t be further from the truth.
To attract money, you have to have a good relationship with it. Since money is a form of energy, all you have to do is be able to attract it to you. This energy is all around you, waiting to be tapped into.
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 have to spend time around people who have achieved financial freedom ? watch how they act and more importantly, how they think about money. You’ll never hear them say that they can’t afford something. That’s because they understand that money is only energy and there is no such thing as not having enough; you just need to attract it to you. If you think positively about money, this positive thinking will bring money to you.
The secret is to have a positive attitude about money. If you can build this relationship, money will come to you.
