Mindset: Beauty & the Beast
You may or may not have heard of the term ‘lack’ or ‘poverty’ mentality,
and I’m here to tell you that right here is where the changes begin. The first
thing you need to do to change your financial situation, is to change the way
you feel about your financial situation. If you’re constantly worrying about
bills, bills and more bills, you’re dwelling on… you guessed it… bills! This is
giving a negative situation far more attention than it deserves and making
your own life miserable in the process.
Wealth is not just having money, it is about being abundant in every area of
your life. To have loads of money and fantastic relationships but be
constantly sick and run down isn’t wealth, similarly to be in amazing physical
condition and spiritually in touch with the planet and still be lonely due to
lack of friends is not wealth either.
“Whether you think that you can, or that you can't, you are right.”
- Henry Ford
There are plenty of millionaires out there who are constantly concerned
about hanging on to their money, making sure they never lose it, focusing on
not spending it too much for fear they won’t have it anymore. This is not a
wealth mentality, it’s a lack mentality and it can’t possibly be enjoyable in
any way. Can you think of anything worse than finally getting to a financially
comfortable position and not allowing yourself to enjoy a moment of it?
Conversely, there are many families who have none of the material things
many of us would now take for granted. Telephones, computers, even the
opportunity to attend school, or a house with four walls and a meal every
night is more than many families ever hope to see in their lives. Yet they can
find peace and joy in small things, such as spending time with the ones they
love, clean water, or a beautiful day. This is a wealth mentality, because
wealth is so much more than money.
“A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees
the opportunity in every difficulty.”
So the next time you go to tell your friends or family how many bills you have
this month, or what you can’t afford to do, stop for a moment and be
grateful for what you do have instead.
