Honesty In Attitude
Friday, August 14th, 2009The top wealth and finance experts will tell you that in order to build wealth you need to have the right mindset. No surprise there, it’s what we do and talk about here all the time. Just lately we’ve been tackling the issue by discussing our emotional attitudes towards money. This is something else the top experts will tell you—in order to build wealth, you have to come to terms with your true feelings towards money.
Be One With Your Emotions
We’ve been talking a lot lately about dealing with those emotions that we hold towards money and wealth—the feelings that grow from our upbringings, experiences, exposure, and the attitudes of others around us from a very early age.
It is absolutely essential to deal with these emotions because if you do not they will quietly undercut everything you do to create wealth. However, it is not enough to just say or think that you are dealing with them; to effectively deal with your attitudes and emotions about money, you need to deal in absolute honesty with yourself.
Digging Up The Past
Many of us do not want to do that, primarily for one of two reasons:
• We do not want to admit our own denial of money or past ignorance;
• Dealing with our emotions may require us to dig up past feelings and experiences, and that can sometimes be painful.
It’s understandable that you might want to just move forward and not have to look back and relive less than enjoyable experiences. But doing that is the only way to really understand why you do what you do and what is really blocking your path to wealth. When you have the courage to be honest about your emotions and your denial of money, you clear all the space in your mind and your life for much bigger, better, more productive plans and actions.
