I was talking to a friend of mine the other day. Her is name is Jean and I asked her some questions about money. I asked how was her savings account building? Because we were talking about money at the time, she said to me, “I’m poor, I don’t have enough to put money into savings.”
Hmm, I thought about it and here is a woman who has a good job, drives a nice car and lives in a great house. But yet, she thinks that she is poor.
So I thought about it and I wondered, how many people in this world, who have great cars and nice home, and all the wealth they need and still think that they are poor….
Then I started thinking to myself, how do I see myself. Am I rich or am I poor?
Many of us are trained to think in one level and that is being poor. Our definition of being rich is having a big house, big car, and big things. But then you have to think; there are many levels of being rich. You must seek out your definition of being rich.
We saw our parents, brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles struggling to make ends meet but yet because of the level of thinking about themselves they keep thinking that they are poor.
So if you keep thinking that you are poor. You will keep that mindset and you will become what you think. You can work hard, get a great job, find that right companion, and see the greatest things that you want but it will not be worth it if you keep thinking that you are poor and you will never come out of what you are working for to make a better life.
But if you start thinking rich, then you are rich. You will seek a higher level of yourself, you will get it right, you will get that job, you will get out of debt, find that great place to live, eat the right foods, take care of yourself in many levels that you will become rich in yourself and other.
Being poor is only a mindset and being rich is also a mindset. What you think is what you will get.
My money becomes stronger and more full when I change my mind to the right things and believe I can have it all. My debt becomes clearer when I see that I can come out of what I’m in. My workload becomes more of it because I see that I can do it. I get the food I want when I know I can eat right for myself. My home life is better because I can see that I can own it and have it.
Remember you control your life and what is around you. Do you want to think rich or do you want to think poor? It’s up to you.
