3 Secrets About Money That You Are Struggling With Right Now

By Alex Blouck


Do you have a feeling that your attitude or thoughts about wealth might be standing in your way of achieving great things in your life? Does talking about or thinking about money make you feel uneasy or unhappy? It very well might be that you have a problem with money that is affecting the amount of wealth in your life as well as your happiness in general. If you feel uneasy thinking about wealth then here are a few things for you to ponder. They very well might enlighten you as well as help you to open the door to becoming wealthy.

You see, there are a few misconceptions about wealth and money in the world that might be preventing you from becoming rich and actually being happy. It's a terrible struggle. You might wish for wealth yet deep down inside we fear wealth and what society has taught us about being wealthy. Society and your parents didn't intend to hold you back or plant these thoughts in your mind. Chances are that you are a very good and caring person and these teachings go against what you might think the world says about wealth.

First, the belief that you need money to make money is sometimes taken a gospel truth. If you feel that you are doomed to the social class or tax bracket that you currently inhabit, this might be a belief that you hold to be true. You see wealthy people who are able to invest large sums in stock and business ventures. They reap big rewards and a loss is only a small sum of what they own so it barely phases them.

While it might be true that it's easier to invest large sums of money and lose large sums and still survive for the world's wealthiest individuals, everybody had to start somewhere. Most of the world's most successful people started with nothing or lost everything and had to rebuild their empire a time or two. Belief, desire and a dream were their leverage and it can be the same for you if. It is often their thoughts or vision that make them their wealth and not simply investing in the right stocks or businesses.

You might also be under the assumption that in order for you to have money, another person has to give up money. This called zero sum. Like in a game, in order for you to win someone else must lose. Someone else must become poor in order for you to become wealthy. Now, you probably have a pretty big heart. You care about people. You would feel terrible if you knew that another human being had to give up something or become just a little bit poorer because you wanted to be rich. This thought makes you feel terrible and you might resist the desire to become wealthy because of it.

The truth is that wealth comes more often when you help other people. The world will gladly fill your pockets if you can solve some of their biggest problems. If you can build a better mouse trap or find a way to provide value or save people time and effort then the world will beat a path to your door. Greed demands that we take from others. Wealth is about helping others and providing value and making lives easier and happier.

The last lie that we have all been told is that money is the root of all evil. Most of us have heard this and been taught it since we were children. You might even despise wealthy people and their apparent greediness. In your mind you might even worry that you will lose your friends and family if you were to become rich. You worry that you'd change and become arrogant or that people will become jealous and despise you because of how much money you have.

Overcoming this feeling or fear might require a lot of effort on your part. It might require some focus and intense reflection in order to undo what has been done inside your mind and your soul when it comes to your attitude toward money and your fear of how it might change your life. Here are the facts, though. If someone is going to despise you or become jealous of your success then they're not worth being a part of your life. You have the ability to keep your head when you find your calling. You will remember your roots. Wealth doesn't have to change you and there are some millionaires around you right now that you would never suspect are as wealthy as they are. They enjoy driving the same old car they always drove because a car isn't important to them. They live in the same house that they always did because it suits them just fine. They might enjoy a few of the finer things in life but they see no need in flaunting their wealth. They enjoy helping people and being wealthy allows them do help the people that they care for in a way that they never would be able to if they weren't wealthy. Isn't that what you want? Why are you going to let another persons opinion of you keep you from giving your loved ones the education, security and experiences that you know will make them happy?

Fear and negative thoughts about wealth can hold you where you are right now. You can change how you feel and what you believe about yourself and your ability to create wealth with very little effort. Understanding that these thoughts and feelings are there is a good step in the right direction. Taking some time to work through these thoughts and realizing that something is wrong is simple yet hard work. Relearning about wealth and making yourself believe that being wealthy is a positive thing in your life and also a positive thing for your family, friends and the entire world is a necessity. Who knows. You very well might be the person that solves the problem known as cancer. You might find great wealth and invest some of that wealth in agriculture and you might be responsible for coming up with a crop that can grow anywhere and thus solve famine and starvation in the world. The world is your oyster and if you have a desire to help others, wealth will surely come your way.
