Which of the following statement is true for you?
1. You say to yourself, “I don’t have enough of this”, “There isn’t enough of this”
2. Your point of view and outlook on life are governed by the fear of not having enough money
3. Your buying practices are determined by lack (i.e. “It costs too much”, “I can’t afford it”)
4. Your number one source of stress is money. Your thoughts and emotions reflect this idea: ”I don’t have enough money”
5. You stay in a career that you hate because you’re afraid that you can’t get a better job.
6. You do work that you don’t enjoy but you do it just to get by.
7. You are afraid of losing what you have.
8. You abandoned your dreams and are afraid of taking any chances with your money.
9. You resent rich people who have fancy cars, clothes, and homes. Or you have a difficult time being genuinely happy about other people’s success.
10. Money is often the sources of resentment, unhappiness, struggle, hostility, and fighting.
Reality check: If even one of these is true for you,
You Have A Scarcity Mindset!
In other words, all of the above indicate poverty consciousness. If this is a shock to you, take a good look at yourself and notice how you learned to think about wealth and money from a poverty consciousness point of view. Chances are, you learned a large majority of these ideas from your parents as you were growing up.
The fact is, you have been conditioned to believe all sorts of ideas and points of views that literally limit your wealth. From the time we are born all the way to age 12, we were all literally hypnotized to believe whatever we were told, so we never really learned to question our reality until around age 13. Are you willing to question your own thoughts and emotions about wealth? Now, it may seem strange for some to think that wealth is based on the thoughts and emotions that you have, but let’s be real clear:
Thoughts lead to emotions which lead to behaviours (taking action!)
Merely changing one’s behaviors may not be easy if one’s thoughts and emotions are set towards the opposite behaviour. This explains why many people procrastinate. Taking action for procrastinators literally feels difficult. That’s not to say that one shouldn't take action, rather by changing your poverty consciousness into prosperity consciousness, wealth building actions become significantly easier and seemingly effortless. In fact, it often becomes enjoyable!
Thus, if you are looking to generate wealth, then change your mindset! Get out of poverty consciousness, because it is literally dictating your life. If you are determined to live a life of freedom, joy, and abundance, and if you look forward to leaving a wonderful legacy for your children, then do whatever it takes to shift your thoughts and feelings about money.
Here's a simple yet powerful tool to shift your scarcity mindset.
If you ever say to yourself, “I can’t afford this”, ask yourself this question repeatedly (like a mantra), “What would it take for this to have it in my life?” regardless of the emotions you may feel. You’ll be surprised about the endless possibilities that are actually available to you.
If you ever say, “It’s so hard to make money” counter it by asking, “What would it take for making money to be fun, phenomenal and rewarding?” (again, do it repeatedly like a mantra).
Do this WITHOUT trying to answer it. Just keep asking until you get to a point where you feel much more comfortable about that particular issue. By that point, an answer (or perhaps several) will have come to you seemingly automatically.
This simple tool will shift your focus out of scarcity and into prosperity because the empowering question is like manually retuning a piano. Now that I gave you a powerful tool…
You Have An Opportunity To Take Back Your Life!
I encourage you to question your beliefs, thoughts, and feelings because the truth is you have the choice to live your life instead of living someone else’s life. So what do you choose?
