One of the most amazing facts about money is that a person’s financial success is undeniably determined by his/her attitudes about money. How we develop our money mindset is sometimes hard to understand, but the consequences are clear. This is especially so when we look at how the way we think about money determines our income.
Money Mindset and 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 people up or down emotionally and financially, in time they rebound to their personal norm.

Interestingly, for the most part people never consciously think that they are only worth so much when they think about money. 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 Consequence of Money Attitudes
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 (that unconsciously reside in their money mindset) turn out to be their own self-imposed limits! That's how the way you think about money determines your financial future.
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.
Note:
If you know how, you can change your attitudes about money, choose a better, more successful mindset, and thereby change your financial future.
Change is entirely possible. You can change the way your think about money and remove the limits on your own income, if you know how.
When you change your attitudes about money, choose a better, more successful mindset, you can change your financial future.
We Choose Our Money Attitudes
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 horrendous 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 by changing our money mindset we can change our financial future.
Think More, Make More Money
For some people the idea of a money mindset having such a determinative consequence on our income and financial success otherwise is somewhat esoteric if not a little weird. But how you think about money is a real factor in your financial success.
