PART I :
THE PSYCHOLOGY OF WEALTH & HAPPINESS!
Part I is about the realization that our reality is defined by what we think! Therefore, the quality of our consistent thoughts defines the quality of our life! Given this reality, we are ultimately in control of whether we are happy or sad, rich or poor, because our thoughts make it so. If we have a poverty mentality wealth will elude us. If we think negative thoughts we will be unhappy. It’s that simple! Quite to the contrary, most people don't see building wealth and being happy as being related, and that is why they are neither wealthy nor happy!
The principal reason most people are unhappy is either because they feel they are “not in control,” which causes them to feel fear, anxiety and insecurity, or they “focus on their problems rather than on solutions” and this attracts negative events into their lives. If you are not in control of your thoughts and emotions and if you don’t have a plan for how to accomplish your goals “there is absolutely no way you can be in control of the events in your life.” You are simply along for the ride and your destination is ANY TOWN U.S.A. and any road will get you there, but happiness and fulfillment are not waiting at the end of your journey.
“TRUE WEALTH” is that condition in which a person has found balance in their life. It’s that condition where they understand that money is a means to an end. It’s the understanding that having a certain amount of money can provide a degree of safety, security and control over the events of your life, thereby contributing to your happiness, but that the primary purpose of money is to give you control over your time. It’s the understanding that by virtue of having money you are able to spend your time in pursuit of those things which make you happy as opposed to spending an inordinate amount of your time having to work to earn a living. It’s about being balanced, and focused on those things that add value to your life and the lives of others.
Every turn around of circumstances is the result of a change in our beliefs. Therefore if you change your negative Disempowering Beliefs into Positive Empowering Beliefs your circumstances will change accordingly! Ultimately this means we are the masters of our reality. Our happiness, or lack there of, is in our control as is our wealth or lack there of. We are therefore the masters of our destiny! If we have a dream, believe in that dream and are prepared to take action to achieve our dream, the universe will work in concert with us to make our dream come true!
