Wealth File #5 Rich people focus on opportunities. Poor people focus on obstacle.

Poor people makes choices based upon fear. Their minds are constantly scanning for what is wrong or could go wrong in any situation. Their primary mindset is "What if it doesn't work? or, more often, "It won't work."

Middle class people are slightly more optimistice. Their mindset is "I sure hope this works."

Rich people expect to succeed. They have confidence in their abilities, they have confidence in their creativity, and they believe that should the doo-doo hit the fan, they can find another way to succeed.

Rich people are willing to take a risk. Rich people believe that, if worse comes to worst, they can always make their money back.

Poor people, on the other hand, expect to fail. They lack confidence in themselves and in their abilities. Poor people believe that should things not work out, it would be catastrophic. And because they constantly see obstacles, they are usually unwilling to take risk. No risk, no reward.

Rich people take educated risks. This means that they research, do their due diligence, and make decisions based on solid information and facts.

No luck or anything else worhwhile will come your way unless you take some form of action to succeed financially, you have to do something, buy something, or start something. And when you do it, is it luck or is it the universe or a higher power suopporting you in its miraculous ways for having the courage and commitment to go for it.

Rich people focus on what they want, while poor people focus on what they don't want. Again, the universal law states, "what you focus on expands."

Focus on opportunities and that's what you find. Focus on obstacles and that's what you find. I'm not saying that you don't take care of problems. Of course, handle problems as they arise, in the present. But keep your eye on your goal, keep moving forward your target. Put your time and energy into creating what you want. When obstacles arise, handle them, then quickly refocus on your vision. You don't spend all your times fighting fires. Those who do, move backwards! you spend your time and energy in thought and deed, moving steadily forward, toward your goal.

It's delusional to believe youcan prepare for every circumstance that might someday occur and protect yourself from it.

Life doesn't travel in perfectly straight lines. It moves more like a winding river. More often than not, you can only see to the next bend, and only when you reach that next turn can you see more.

If you really want to learn a business, get into it. You don't have to own the darn thing from day one. Get in the corridor by getting a job in the arena. You'll learn more by sweeping up a restaurant and washing dishes than by ten years of research from the outside.

Being in the "corridor" means entering the arena where you want to be in the future, in any capacity, to get started.This is far and away the best way to learn about a business, because you see it from the inside. Second, you can make the contacts you need, which you could never have made from the outside. Third, once you're in the corridor, many other doors of opportunity may open to you. That is, once you witness what's really going on, you may discover a niche for yourself that you hadn't recognize before. Fourth, you may find that you don't really like this field, and thank goodness you found out before you got in too deep!

"Action always beats inaction." Rich people get started. They always trust that once they get in the game, they can make intelligent decisions in the present moment, make corrections, and adjust their sails along the way.

Poor people don't trust in themselves or their abilities, so they believe they have to know everything in advance, which is virtually impossible.

In the end, with their positibe, "ready, fire, aim," attitude, rich people take action and usually win.

Rich people see an opportunitym jump on it, abd get even richer. As for poor people? They're still "preparing!"

Declarations: "I focus on opportunities over obstacles.""I get ready, I fire, I aim!"

Learning from adversity

 If they knew that every form of defeat, and all failures, bring them the seed of unborn opportunity, they would keep on fighting and win. Success usually is but one short step beyond the point where on quits fighting. Failure is a man made circumstance. It is never real until it has been accepted by man as permanent. Failure is a state of mind; Therefore, it is something an individual can control until he neglects to exercise this privilege. Failure brings a climax in which one has the privilege of clearing his mind of fear and making a new start in another direction. Failure proves conclusively that something is wrong with one's aims or the plans by which the object of these aims is sought. Failure is the dead end of the habit-path one has been following, and when it is reached it forces one to leave that path and take up another, Thereby creating a new rhythm. It gives an individual an opportunity to test himself wherein he may learn how much will power he possesses. Failure als...
 All great leaders in every walk of life are highly sexed, but they follow the habit of controlling their sex desires, switching them into a driving force behind their occupation. The person who has self discipline understands the emotion of sex, respects it, and learns to control and transmute it into contructive activities. Q: Just what damage is there in over-indulgence of sex? A: The greatest damage is that it depletes the source of man's greatest driving force, and wastes, without adequate compensation, man's creative energy. Controlled sex supplies the magnetic force that attracts people to one another. It is the most important factor of a pleasing personality. It gives quality to the tone of voice and enables one to convey through the voice any feeling desired. It serves, as nothing else can serve, to give motive power to one's desires. It keeps the nervous system changed with the energy needed to carry on the work of maintaining the body. It sharpens the imagination...

How to Build Better Habits in 4 Simple Steps

WHY YOUR BRAIN BUILDS HABITS A habit is a behavior that has been repeated enough times to become automatic. The process of habit formation begins with trial and error. Whenever you encounter a new situation in life, your brain has to make a decision. How do I respond to this? The first time you come across a problem, you’re not sure how to solve it. You’re just trying things out to see what works. You’re taking in tons of new information and trying to make sense of it all. The brain is busy learning the most effective course of action. You stumble across a solution. You’re feeling anxious, and you discover that going for a run calms you down. You’re mentally exhausted from a long day of work, and you learn that playing video games relaxes you. You’re exploring, exploring, exploring, and then—BAM—a reward. After you stumble upon an unexpected reward, you alter your strategy for next time. Your brain immediately begins to catalog the events that preceded the reward. Wait a minute—that fe...
