Wealth file #12 Rich people think "both." Poor people think "either/or."

Rich people live in a world of abundance. Poor people live in a world of limitations. Of course, both live in the same physical world, but the difference is in their perspective.

Poor and most middle-classs people come from scarcity. They live by mottos such as "There's only so much to go around, there's never enough, and you can't have everything."

And although you may not be able to have "everything," as in all the things in the world, I do think you can certainly have "everything you really want."

Rich people understand that with a little creativity you can almost always figure out a way to have the best of both worlds. From now on, when confronted with an either/or alternative, the quintessential question to ask yourself is "How can I have both?" This question will change your life. It will take you from a model of scarcity and limitation to a universe of possibilities and abundance.

People who are rich in every sense of the world understand that you have to have both. Just as you have to have both your arms and your legs, you have to have money and happiness.

Rich people believe "you can have your cake and eat it too."
Middle class people believe "Cake is too rich, so I'll only have a little piece."
Poor people don't believe they deserve cake so they order a doughnut, focus on the hole, and wonder why the have "nothing".

Either/or thinking also trips up people who believe "If i have more, then someone else will have less." Again, this is nothing more than fear based, self defeating programming.

If you really want to live a life without limits, whatever the situation, let go of either/or thinking and maintain the intention to have "both."

Declaration: "I always think 'both'."
touch your head and say "I have a millionaire mind!"

Maximizing Your Profits with Scoring

SETTING YOUR MAXIMUM INTRADAY TRADING LOSS First things first: set a max intraday trading loss. There will be days when you just do not have it. Why do you think coaches pull their players when they are not playing well? They are more harmful on the field than off. When you are underperforming, you are hurting your team and your trading business. You need a system to yank yourself over to the bench. A stop loss is your answer. TRADING BASED UPON THE TIME OF DAY A good trader makes note of what time of day it is, when he trades most profitably, and adjusts his trading to fit such times. Your numbers at the end of the month will not reflect your true trading potential. Make the most trades with the most size during the trading periods that statistically are most profitable for you. Money saved during your weaker trading periods is money earned. Consistency The fact is that most trades you make will start working for you right away. But the new traders also hold stocks that are trading ag...

TIME

Time is the law of hypnotic  rhythm. The lapse of time required to give permanency to thought habits depends upon the object and the nature of thoughts. Time divides all thought habits into two classes, negative thoughts and positive thoughts. One's individual thoughts are of course constantly changing and being recombined to suit the individual's desires, but thoughts do not change from negative to positive or vice versa except throught voluntary effort on the part of the individual. Time penalizes the individual for all negative thoughts and rewards him for all positive thoughts, according to the nature and purpose of the thoughts. If one's dominating thoughts are negative, time penalizes the individual by building in his mind the habit of negative thinking and then proceeds to solidify this habit into "permanency," of course, refers to the natural life of the individual. In the strict sense of the term, nothing is permanent. Time converts thought habits into wh...

Hypnotic Rhythm

 Any impulse of thought that the mind repeats over and over through the habits form an organized rhythm. Undesirable habits can be broken. They must be broken before they assume the proportions of rhythm. Rhythm is the last stage of habit! Any though or physical movement which is repeated over and over the principle of habit finally reaches the proportion of rhythm. Then the habit cannot be broken because nature takes it over and makes it permanent. It is something like a whirlpool in water. An object may keep floating indefinitely unless it is caught in a whirlpool. Then it is carried round and round but it cannot escape the energy with which people think may be compared with water in a river. Says the devil: "Those who control and use their own minds escape my web." Says the devil: "The time they [people] spend in fearing something would, if reversed, give them all they want in the material world and save them from me after death." If your mind fears poverty, your...
