Mindset Mastery 34 - Personal Impact Of Financial State-Of-Mind
Economic depressions and recessions, both historical and modern, prove that state-of-mind can make or break a nation’s or a world’s economy. So is the same true for your own personal financial solvency?
“Watch closely; a similar destiny will become yours as soon as you master the principles of this philosophy and begin to follow the instructions for applying those principles. As you think of yourself as secure and successful, your financial status will begin to improve, and everything you touch will begin to transmute itself into an asset for your benefit. Impossible? Not at all! As the age-old saying goes, the rich get richer…and in very large part because they believe that they are rich and successful.”
State Of Mind
You will be whatever you think you will be. If you feel, act, and think that you are poor and downtrodden, that will be your fate. If you are positive and ambitious because you feel, act, and think you are successful and wealthy, that is what you will create as your reality. It is undeniable that state-of-mind is the primary factor separating the rich and successful from the poor and unsuccessful. To go a step further, consider that individual states-of-mind are what comprise those collective states discussed in the last post.
I will see you back here every Monday and Thursday for the continuation of the Mindset Mastery series.

This is undoubtedly true. If you believe in yourself you will succeed. If you don’t you won’t…. Simple.

I remember years ago a friend was trying to get his super out because he’d hit the bottom, and at every turn there was just ostacle upon obstacle. It was funny because I said to him, you’re doing this you know, he said ‘what?’. I said Yeah, you’re doing this. These obstacles are happening because you’re expecting them, which means you’re asking for them. ‘BS’ he said!
One day he may awaken, but I still love him!

“Why does this stuff always happen to me?”
A guy a knew used to be the one that got his car dented in the carpark by someone else. His house would get broken into and unlucky things would happen.
The bottom line is that he put himself in that spot. He exposed himself to those events and created his own bad luck!
He would park the car in stupid positions at times far to close to the next car.
He left stuff in full view for friends to see when they came around (he kept the sort of friends that valued their own benefits far above anyone else’s. Oh, yeah! And dope smokers do break into each others houses sometimes).
He’d leave his house unlocked and everyone knew.
He’d lose his wallet and do silly things all the time.
He attracted bad luck. We create our own luck.

Sean,
That is a perfect story of ‘how’ we create our own bad luck. There so many skeptics out there on the law of attraction, etc, and whether you believe it or not, the story you have just told shows that our self-image (i.e. beliefs), influences our decisions!
Your friend was making stupid decisions, and then wondering why he had so much bad luck, but his self image was influencing those decisions, many times automatically and sub consciously.
This is why I don’t like seeing those ads on TV that say, you have a 1 in 3 chance of developing ‘this disease’, or a 1 in 2 chance of developing ‘that disease’. The people (seemingly) who create these ads may say they are trying to help by highlighting the risks, but all I see is decision influencing.
I don’t want my kids living in fear of getting cancer and believing that they have a 50% probability of getting cancer because some rugby player tells them so on the TV, because this belief influences their day to day decisons, and guess what those decisions are likely to be - ones that increase the risks of illness!!
One day, when the understanding of our ‘Reticular Formation’ becomes mainstream knowledge, I would seriously think that ads like those mentioned above would not be allowed - it would be like an ad on Marlboro showing today!
Thanks for the story
