Think More Money
     to Earn More Money

One of the most amazing facts about money is that a person’s financial success is undeniably determined by their attitudes about money. How we develop these attitudes is sometimes hard to understand, but the consequences are clear. This is especially so when it regards our level of income.

Our Inner Beliefs Define Our Financial Potential

There is no doubt that events like a recession/depression or a catastrophic illness can sidetrack us from our normal condition. But it is also true that although temporary circumstances may push them up or down financially, in time people rebound to their personal norm.

Interestingly, for the most part people never consciously think that they are only worth so much. In fact they may complain that they do not get paid more for their efforts.

But whether they like it our not is not the same as whether they believe it or not. This is the concept behind my statement elsewhere that people do not always get what they want, but they always get what they expect.

The Result of Our Income Beliefs

What people do say is interesting. They say things like, “I don’t see how I can get by on less than $2,000 a month (or $5,000 a month, or $10,000).” But check it out and in practice those very numbers turn out to be their own self-imposed limits!

You could say that minimum wage people look for minimum wage jobs. $50,000 people look for $50,000 jobs. $100,000 people look for $100,000 jobs. That said, what you want to do is to stop being self-identified by any of those numbers but learn to keep moving up in personal self-worth and in earnings.

Change is entirely possible. You can choose to remove the limits on your own income, if you know how.

We Choose the Attitudes that Determine Our Future

Dr. Victor Frankl, as a prisoner in a World War II concentration camp, learned what has at times been described as the greatest discovery of the twentieth century. He came to understand that in even the most horendous of circumstances a person can choose his own attitudes, his responses to life’s circumstances and by so doing, determine his own future.

All of the greatest teachers of human motivation, of success principles and personal development in the world since, have built on this truth. Unfortunately, few people have learned how to use this great truth to their advantage.

By the use of affirmations, visualizations, and other techniques, we can replace our self-limiting attitudes with better attitudes (habits of thought) about money. And in so doing we can change our financial future.
