3 Secrets About Money That You Are Struggling With Right Now

By Alex Blouck


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.

You see, there are a few misconceptions about wealth and money in the world that might be preventing you from becoming rich and actually being happy. It's a terrible struggle. You might wish for wealth yet deep down inside we fear wealth and what society has taught us about being wealthy. Society and your parents didn't intend to hold you back or plant these thoughts in your mind. Chances are that you are a very good and caring person and these teachings go against what you might think the world says about wealth.

The thought that in order to accumulate wealth you must be wealthy is a bit of a fallacy. You might really feel that it's only those who have money that can make real wealth in this world. You have social proof of this. You see the newspapers and you read about those who have celebrity status due to their wealth who are embarking on another giant venture or building a skyscraper with their name on it. It's easy for them. The have money. The make more money with that money. The risk is only a very small portion of their entire wealth so it's simple for them and it makes you sick to your stomach.

While it might be true that it's easier to invest large sums of money and lose large sums and still survive for the world's wealthiest individuals, everybody had to start somewhere. Most of the world's most successful people started with nothing or lost everything and had to rebuild their empire a time or two. Belief, desire and a dream were their leverage and it can be the same for you if. It is often their thoughts or vision that make them their wealth and not simply investing in the right stocks or businesses.

Next, many of us believe that in order for us to make large sums of money, it must come from someone else. We believe that wealth is a zero sum game. This means that in order for us to have something it must be taken away from someone else. We become rich while someone else becomes poor. If we have any sort of heart or soul, this can be troubling and it can cause you to subconsciously resist wealth and money.

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.

Overcoming this feeling or fear might require a lot of effort on your part. It might require some focus and intense reflection in order to undo what has been done inside your mind and your soul when it comes to your attitude toward money and your fear of how it might change your life. Here are the facts, though. If someone is going to despise you or become jealous of your success then they're not worth being a part of your life. You have the ability to keep your head when you find your calling. You will remember your roots. Wealth doesn't have to change you and there are some millionaires around you right now that you would never suspect are as wealthy as they are. They enjoy driving the same old car they always drove because a car isn't important to them. They live in the same house that they always did because it suits them just fine. They might enjoy a few of the finer things in life but they see no need in flaunting their wealth. They enjoy helping people and being wealthy allows them do help the people that they care for in a way that they never would be able to if they weren't wealthy. Isn't that what you want? Why are you going to let another persons opinion of you keep you from giving your loved ones the education, security and experiences that you know will make them happy?

Fear and negative thoughts about wealth can hold you where you are right now. You can change how you feel and what you believe about yourself and your ability to create wealth with very little effort. Understanding that these thoughts and feelings are there is a good step in the right direction. Taking some time to work through these thoughts and realizing that something is wrong is simple yet hard work. Relearning about wealth and making yourself believe that being wealthy is a positive thing in your life and also a positive thing for your family, friends and the entire world is a necessity. Who knows. You very well might be the person that solves the problem known as cancer. You might find great wealth and invest some of that wealth in agriculture and you might be responsible for coming up with a crop that can grow anywhere and thus solve famine and starvation in the world. The world is your oyster and if you have a desire to help others, wealth will surely come your way.
