How Will You Live When Wealth Arrives?
As I mentioned at the end of the last post, some people are able to make a significant amount of money off the backs of others by capitalizing on the scarcity mentality; not most, as the statistics prove. The only thing the scarcity mentality gets most people is a very limited income and lifestyle, and a bad attitude to boot.
A Choice To Make
As it appears, you have a choice to make—you can create prosperous, sustainable wealth by embracing an abundance mentality, or you can scratch your way to the top and hope that you are one of the “lucky” (?) few who actually build wealth that way. Let’s look at the reality of either choice:
• The scarcity mentality method of building wealth requires that you will live in a state of financial paranoia of sorts—always thinking someone else is trying to get what is yours, that you have to stash and hide wealth so that it might not be taken by another, and that you have to grab as much as you can as fast as you can and continually hope someone else is left in want so that you can collect the amount of money that you feel necessary to be wealthy. Be warned, though, with this attitude there will probably never be enough.
• The abundance mentality method of wealth building requires that you live with a positive attitude, enjoying life each and every day, be thankful for others and always capitalize on what is good in your life. You do not live in fear because you know wealth is not limited, and you can create it right alongside of others. You are able to engage in enlightening and useful conversation about wealth creation with other people because you do not have to be afraid that they might ferret out your trade secrets and you share your knowledge, enjoying the feeling of helping others get ahead, too.
So I ask you now—which sounds like the better life to you?
Who Will You Be When You Arrive At Wealth?
The path you choose determines the type of person you will be throughout the wealth-building phase of your life and for all the days after. Remember this life is not a dress rehearsal, it’s the real thing. Enjoy every possible minute of it, and feel good about the person that you are and have been when your wealth arrives.
