Money too Tight to Mention? Or Is It Actually Abundant?

untitledbbI’ve heard it said that money won’t solve all your problems, but I can confidently make this assertion: there is NO problem you can have in life that LACK of money won’t make worse (think about it).

We all want financial success, but not many of us understand HOW to attract wealth. Most put it down to luck or being born wealthy or some other outside influence. When the truth is…wealth begins inside you. It all starts with your beliefs and your habitual way of looking at the world.

Have you heard the old expression “money is the root of all evil,” or something similar? This paradigm is common in society, and yet there is no truth to it at all. Money is neither good nor bad — it is what we do with it that makes all the difference.

In order to attract riches into your life, you must appreciate all the good money does in the world. If you see money as “sinful” or “evil” you can’t be too surprised when it doesn’t exactly flow to you like a raging river…

It’s true, of course, that there are tight-fisted, stingy and money grubbing rich people. But by the same token, there are also many generous and giving rich people who do untold good in the world (look at the billions of dollars Bill Gates has donated to charity, for example)

It’s helpful to remind ourselves that financial wealth does a lot of good in the world. It builds hospitals, funds charities, paves roads and provides clean drinking water (a really big deal in much of the world) for millions of people. If those aren’t positive things, I don’t know what is. (continued below)

The law of attraction teaches this point of view about money, and I believe it is a useful perspective. Too many of us have been brainwashed into the assumption that lack and scarcity are simply “the way things are,” and abundance is just an illusion. This is the complete opposite of the message of the law of attraction, and completely out of touch with reality and common sense.

Thinking that we have to scratch and claw in the “rat race” for money is a lack-based mindset, and (take it from someone who’s been there) it’s also completely false. This false paradigm points us toward a belief that it is hard to be wealthy (when it actually isn’t). But as long as people embrace this notion, they find it hard to get ahead in life, and often struggle to attain any success at all. Their BELIEFS hold them back.

To attract wealth and abundance, we have to establish a positive relationship with money, and learn to give and receive freely. The enemy, as always, is fear.

Fear tries to convince us that we don’t deserve wealth, or it would be a hassle if we got it, or that it would change us into a bad person, or any number of other silly mistruths. The reality is, we should never buy into “the myth of lack.’ Nature is abundant, and there is always more than enough for everyone, once we open our eyes to it.

A competitive or fearful mindset derails many people who want to attract wealth. It stops the flow, and prevent us from giving and receiving openly. And once that happens, we are no longer living in abundance–we have turned to the “dark side,” the side of fear and the competitive mindset.

The competitive mindset is that little voice that tries to make us resent the success of others, or criticize those who have created abundance. It attempts to convince us we must compare ourselves to other and “keep up with the Jones’.” It is, without any doubt, the reason so many people wind up feeling trapped in the “rat race.” It is nothing less than a prison for our minds.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. We can realize that every one of us has our own path to abundance. And if an individual we know comes into wealth we can feel happy and excited for them, and we should — because our time will come too.

The truth is, there is no reason to EVER compete for wealth. The abundant universe provides plenty for all. Plenty of money, love, success and everything else. It’s all there, just waiting for us to turn our attention to it.
