Wealth file #16 Rich people act in spite of fear. Poor people let fear stop them.

Millions of people "think" about getting rich, and thousands and thousands of people do affirmations, vizualizations, and meditations for getting rich.

Affirmations, meditations, and visualizations are all wonderful tools, but as far as I can tell, more of them on its own isn't going to bring you real money in the real world. In the real world, you have to take real "action" to succeed.

Why is actions so critical?
Let's go back to our process of manifestation. Look at thoughts and feelings. Are they part of their inner world or outer world? Inner world. Now look at results. Are they part of inner or outer world? Outer world. That means action is the "bridge" between the inner world and the outer world.

So if actions is so important, what prevents us from taking the actions we know we need to take? Fear!

Fear, doubt, and worry are among the greatest obstacles, not only to success, but to happiness as well. Therefore, one of the biggest differences between rich people and poor people is that rich people are willing to act in spite of fear. Poor people let fear stop them.

The biggest mistake most people make is waiting for the feeling of fear to subside or disappear before they are willing to act. These people usually wait forever.

A true warrior can "Tame the cobra of fear."

It's imperative to realize that it is not necessary to try to get rid of fear in order to succeed. Rich and successful people have fear, rich and successful people have doubts, rich and successful people have worries. They just don't let these feelings stop them. Unsuccessful people have fears, doubts, and worries, then let those feelings stop them.

It is not necessary to try to get rid of fear in order to succeed.

Because we are creatures of habit, we need to practice acting in spite of feart, in spite of doubt, in spite of worry, in spite of uncertainty, in spite of inconvenience, in spite of discomfort, and even to practice acting when we're not in the mood to act.

If you want to create wealth or any other kind of success, you have to be a warrior. You have to be willing to do whatever it takes. You have to 'train' yourself to not be stopped by anything.

"Getting rich is not always convenient. Getting rich is not always easy. In fact, getting rich can be pretty damn hard. But so what?
'If you are willing to do what's easy, life will be hard. But if you are willing to do what's hard, life will be easy.' Rich people don't base their actions on what's easy and convenient; that way of living is reserved for the poor and most of the middle class.

Why acting in spite of discomfort so important? Because "comfortable" is where you're at now. If you want to move to a new level in your life, you must break through your comfort zone and practice doing things that are more comfortable.

Poor people and most of the middle class are not willing to be uncomfortable. Remember, being comfortable is their biggest priority in life.

Being comfortable is highly overrated. Being comfortable may make you feel warm, fuzzy, and secure, but it doesn't allow you to grow. To grow as a person you have to expand your comfort zone. The only time you can actually grow is when you are outside your comfort zone.

Let me ask you a question. The first time you tried something new, was it comfortable or uncomfortable? usually uncomfortable. But what happened afterward? The more you did it, the more comfortable it became, right? That's how it goes. Everything is uncomfortable at the beginning, but if you stick with it and continue, you will eventually move through the uncomfort zone and succeed. Then you will have a new, expanded comfort zone, which means you will have become a "bigger" person.

Again the only time you are actually growing is when you are uncomfortable. From now on, whenever you feel uncomfortable, instead of retreating back into your old comfort zone, pat yourself on the back and say, "I must be growing," and continue moving forward.

IF you want to be rich and successful, you'd better get comfortable with uncomfortable. Consciously practice going into your uncomfort zone and doing what scares you.

By expanding your comfort zone, you will expand the size of your income and wealth zone. The more comfortable you have to be, the fewer risk you will be willing to take, the fewer people you will meet, and the fewer new strategies you will try.

The more comfort becomes your priority, the more contracted you become with fear.

Rich and successful people have a big comfort zone, and the are constantly expanding it to be able to attain and hold more wealth.

Nobody ever died of discomfort, yet living in the name of comfort has killed more ideas, more opportunities, more actions, and more growth than everything else combined.
Comfort kills! If your goal in life is to be comfortable, I guarantee two things. First, you will never be rich. Second, you will never be happy.

Happiness comes as a result of being in our natural state of growth and living up to our fullest potential.

Whether the feelings of discomfort ever subside doesn't matter. In fact, when they do lessen, take it as a sign to increase your objective, because the minute you get comfortable, you have stopped growing. Again to grow yourself to your fullest potential, you must always be living at the edge of your box.

Your mind is the greatest soap-opera scriptwriter in history. It makes up incredible stories, usually based in dramas and disasters, of things that never happened and probably never will. Mark Twain said it best: "I've had thousands of problems in my life, most of which never actually happened."

Training and managing your own mind is the most important skill you could ever own, in terms of both happiness and success.

Robert Allen said something quite profound: "No thought lives in your head rent-free."
What that means is that you will pay for negative thougts. You will pay in money, in enery, in time, in health, and in your level of happiness. If you want to quickly move to a new level of life, begin dividing your thoughts into one of two categories empowering or disempowering.

What is the difference between "Power thinking" and "positive" thinking? The distinction is slight but profound. To me, people use positive thinking to pretend that everything is rosy, when they really believe that it's not. With power thinking, we understand that everything is neutral, that nothing has meaning except for the meaning we give it, and that we are going to make up a story and give something its meaning.

With positive thinking, people believe that their thoughts are not true. Power thinking recognizes that our thoughts are not true, but since we're making up a story anyway, we might as well make up a story that supports us. We don't do this because our new thoughts are "true" in an absolute sense, but because they are more useful to us and feel a heck of a lot better than non-supportive ones.

DECLARATIONS:
"I act in spite of fear."
"I act in spite of doubt."
"I act in spite of worry."
"I act in spite of discomfort."
"I act when im not in the mood." Touch your head and say "I have a millionaire mind!"

 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. To in...
