Wealth file #1 Rich people believe "I create my life" Poor people believe "Life happens to me."

You have to believe that you are the one who creates your success, that you are the one who creates your mediocrity, and that you are the one creating your struggle around money and success. Consciously or unconsciously, it's still you.

Instead of taking responsibility for what's going on in their lives, poor people choose to play the role of the victim.
A victim's predominant thought is often "poor me." So presto. by virtue of the law of intention, that's literally what victims get: they get to be "poor."

That said how can you tell when people are playing the victim?

Victim Clue #1: Blame
Victims blame the economy, they blame the government, they blame the stock market, they blame their broker, they blame their type of business, they blame their manager, they blame the head office, they blame their spouse, they blame God and of course they always blame their parents. It's always someone else or something else that is to blame. The problem is anything or anyone but them.

Victim Clue #2: Justifying
If victims aren't blaming, you'll often find them justifying or rationalizing their situation by saying something like "Money's not really important."

Anyone who says money isn't timportant doesn't have any! Rich people understand the importance of money and the place it has in our society.

Money is extremely important in the areas in which it works, and extremely unimportant in the areas in which it doesn't. And although love may make the world go round, it sure doesn't pay for the building of any hospitals, churches, or homes. It also doesn't feed anybody.

Not convinced? Try paying your bills with love. No rich people believe money is not important.

Victim Clue #3 Complaining
What you focus on expands. When you are complaining, what are you focusing on, what right with your life or what's wrong with it, and since what you focus on expands, you'll keep getting more of what's wrong.

Like attracts like, meaning that when you are complaining, you are actually attracting "crap" into your life.

Wealth principle: When you are complaining, you become a living, breathing "crap magnet."

Blame, jusfication, and complaining are like pills. They are nothing more than stress reducers.

From now on, as you hear yourself disastrously blaming, justifying, or complaining, cease and desist immediately. Remind yourself that you are creating your life and that at every moment you will be attracting either success or crap into your life. It is imperative you choose your thoughts and words wisely.

"There is no such thing as a really rich Victim."

Meanwhile, being a victim definitely has its rewards. What do people get out of being a victim? The answer is attention.

It is virtually impossible to be truly happy and successful when you're constantly yearning for attention. Because if it's attention you want, you're at the mercy of others.

When people confuse love and attention, they don't love each other in the true spiritual sense of the world. They love each other largely from the place of their own ego, as in "I love what you do for me."

By disconnecting attention from love, you will be freed up to love another for who they are, rather than what they do for you.

 Loss is painful, guilt can be devastating. Worse than losing one's dream is the knowledge that the loss was self-inflicted. Problems are solutions that have outlived their usefulness. Problems are pattern that were learned in emotional circumstances during one period of life and that now have taken an existence of their own. Many times, outdated solutions replay themselves in a variety of life situations, leaving people mindlessly repeating their mistakes in work, love, and trading. There can be no free will for people who are locked into patterns developed for past challenges. Successful traders are therapists both learn to do what comes unnaturally. The resolution to problems can be found in what people are doing when those problems are not occurring. The problem with many traders is not that they have problems, but that they are focused on their problems. It is this problem focus that prevents them from appreciating what they are doing right, that blinds them to solutions alrea...

Three Choices

When we are unhappy and our Life Conditions do not match our Blueprint, we have three choices as to how we’re going to handle the challenge: First Choice: Blame The first choice people have is to assign blame, and there are three things you can blame: a) Event . There’s a story, something that happened, behind why things are the way they are. However accurate the story may be, blaming an event is convenient because it helps preserve an identity designed to shield us from our true fears: fear of failure and fear of not being loved or accepted. b) Others . “I’m in this situation because this person …” Similarly, the story may be true, but it’s convenient and gives you comfort in the moment. “There’s nothing wrong with me. It’s this other person. There’s nothing I need to change.”  c) Yourself . Most people think that this is being responsible, but blaming yourself will not make it better. There’s a difference between responsibility and beating yourself up—between “Here’s a pattern th...

Wealth File #15 Rich people have their money work hard for them. Poor people work hard for their money

Working hard is important, but working hard alone will never make you rich. Rich people can spend their days playing and relaxing because they work smart. They understand and use leverage. They employ other people to work for them and their money to work for them. You do have to work hard for money. For rich people, however, this is a temporary situation. For poor people, it's permanent.. Rich people understand that "you" have to work hard until your "money" works hard enough to take your place they understand  the more your money works, the less you will have to work. To win the money game, the goal is to earn enough passive income to pay for your desired lifestyle. In short, you become financially free when your passive income exceeds your expenses. Rich people think long-term. They balance their spending on enjoyment today with investing for freedom tomorrow. Poor people think short-term. They run their lives based on immediate gratifications.
