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.

 Do not cut profits short and cut losing positions fast. Once people can turn their mindset from a problem focus to a solution focus, they can identify the adaptive things that they are already doing and do more of them. You will not become a better trader by emulating a market guru. You will become a better trader by identifying the occasions when you are already trading well and then modeling your future performance on those.

Entering a facilitative physical state is one of the quickest ways of placing oneself in a winning frame of mind.

Indecision

Procrastination robs you of opportunity. It is a significant fact that no great leader was ever known to procrastinate. You are fortunate if ambition drives you into action, never permitting you to falter or turn back once you have rendered a decision to go forward. You may be shocked if you kept accurate account of the time you waste in a single day. Second by second, as the clock ticks off the distance, time is running a race with you. Delay means defeat, because no one may ever make up a second of lost time. Wasted time is one of the chief causes of failure. Time is also, however, a master worker that heals the wounds of failure and disappointment, and rights all wrongs and turns all mistakes into capital. But it favors only those who kill off procrastination and remain in action when there are decisions to be made. Life is a great checkerboard. The player opposite you is Time. If you hesitate you will be wiped off the board. If you keep moving you may win. The only real capit...
