Accessing timeless publications like theirs is made much simpler with the web.

EBooks have brought a whole other facet to publishing and information sharing. It is no longer up to the big publishing houses to decide what is worthy of print or what serves the needs of the wealth empowerment community.

These include blogs, forums, and social media websites. The benefit of them is the support of a like-minded community, and also the ability to learn incrementally in smaller, more digestible portions; and the ability to immediately discuss and ask for clarification and further support is invaluable—it’s a true development of the modern age, and something we’ve never before had access to on this level.

We’ve talked a lot recently about the necessity of thinking wealthy thoughts. It’s a topic never far from the forefront on this blog, as we know that mindset is the determining factor in successful wealth creation. Just a few posts ago we talked about the importance of thinking big for financial prosperity. Let’s take a closer look at that issue now.

What Wealth Means To You

As you may recall, the point of one of those last posts was that your thoughts will attract the level of financial success that you put into them. In other words, in order to have a million dollars you need to first have million dollar thoughts. Today’s point is that the thoughts and thinking you perform should be whatever wealth means to you. It may not be a million dollars you want. For you, wealth and financial success may mean something else entirely.

Wealth means different things to different people. Many factors can affect what wealth means to you—

• The money you need to live well

• The standard of living where you live and the cost of living where you live (because the same amount of money in one locale will get you much more or less as compared to another)

• The property and belongings you wish to have

• The amount of work (career) you wish to maintain

• How much money you need to support others—family, friends, and charities

In short, your picture of what wealth is will be whatever makes you happy and makes you feel financially content.

No one else can tell you what wealth means in financial terms; no one can even tell you what it means in terms of personal satisfaction. Those decisions are yours to make. I cannot put a dollar figure on what it is to be ‘rich’ or ‘wealthy’. But the thing to take away is that you do need to focus and decide what wealth is to you so that you can focus your thoughts and think in the size that is right for you. Your thoughts will reap what you sew, so it is important to decide how big you need to start thinking to get you to the level of financial freedom and wealth success that you want to achieve.

Is there action in your thoughts? Is there a way for your thoughts to become your financial reality? Do your thoughts lead to financial success? To wealth creation?

Active Thought And Financial Success

It is true that you can think your way to wealth. Wealthy thoughts, positive thoughts, attract more of the same and pave the way to building wealth and financial freedom. But as our discussion of dreams versus thoughts showed us, thoughts are nothing without action.

Thoughts are active things—they require mental activity to live and grow and be. If there is no action in your thought, then you have nothing more than a dream. Therefore, it is not enough to just think about having money; you need to thinking about getting money or making money. You have to envision more than just you holding money, you have to envision you making money and building wealth.

Active thought leads to action

That action is your conduit to financial success. It is the means to the end, the way for you to achieve wealth and be rich. One without the other is useless. Many people are quick to embrace the concept of developing mindset for wealth creation—of thinking their way to financial wealth. They are quick to embrace it because it all sounds so easy; and people love easy, don’t they? If you only accept this concept because it sounds easy, though, you will be sorely disappointed. Because after you begin to think wealthy thoughts, you have to get to work and take wealthy actions. And you have to expend mental energy developing plans and actions that can invite wealth.

To build wealth and achieve true financial freedom you have to embrace wealth creation for all that it is—a thought process and an active process, a process of controlling the actions and making the effort that can make you rich. You have to learn to think and you have to learn to think actively. Develop action in your thought and you’ll have a way to actually become rich—to stop dreaming and start thinking and doing and succeeding!

We’ve talked about adjusting the size of your thoughts for successful wealth creation; now let’s talk about the presence of your thoughts. Thinking in and of itself is easy enough to do. We do it automatically everyday. We do it without even realizing that we do. That type of thought doesn’t do a lot to help us achieve wealth; it is a contributing factor, but the thought and mindset that leads you to financial freedom—to money and wealth—is more honed and focused, even on the subconscious level; it is more trained. Eventually that trained thought becomes automatic, but in the beginning there is more effort required to get it there.

How Present Are Your Thoughts?

When we think about building wealth we often think in terms of the future-of future financial goals, of the way life will be, of the things and money we will have. The problem is that that does little for life now, and you can’t achieve in the future without achieving something, even a small something, now.

The mistake that a lot of people make is that they think only in the future; their thoughts are not present now; a vital piece of the puzzle is missing, and there is no way to step from point A to point B.

Of course you need to develop thoughts that pull you closer to the wealth you want in the future, but you also need to develop thoughts that attract money now. You need to think about the things that you already have and find some level of wealth in your life here in the present. You need to find positivity and success now that will attract more positivity and success. You need to have something good that the law of attraction can work upon and multiply from.

You need big thoughts but you also need present thoughts. That presence must extend throughout life, too—thinking and being rich doesn’t stop as long as you are living wealthy. The wealth creation mindset is ongoing and ever-present, and that is what your thoughts need to be to maintain it.

Continuing on with our analysis of thought, mindset, and wealth creation, let’s talk about the size of the thoughts you have—particularly, are they big enough?

Success Proportional To Thoughts

It’s been said more times than you’d care to count—”I think about money, so if thinking your way to financial success is all there is to it, why aren’t I rich by now?”

When this is the question the answer that inevitably must be asked is, how big are the thoughts you are thinking?

If you want to be wealthy you have to think wealthy thoughts; and you have to make sure that the thoughts, the “size” of your thoughts, is comparable to your end goal. In other words, if you think about money in terms of a few hundred dollars here and there, if you envision yourself as being only slightly more comfortable than you are now, then that is where your thoughts will take you.

If you want to be wildly wealthy with a bank account numbering in the millions, then you have to think big thoughts. Thousand dollar thoughts will not get you to million dollar goals. Million dollar thoughts do that.

When you really understand the concept behind the wealth creation mindset and behind thinking your way to wealth, you understand that it is about more than a few fanciful or fleeting thoughts and dreams. Financial success through conscious thought (and indeed subconscious, too) is more active and more goal-oriented. Expect that your thoughts will attract the wealth that is proportional to them. If it’s not working for you despite your best thoughts and efforts consider that you probably need to think bigger and more successfully.

Your thoughts can lead you to wealth. But you have to give those thoughts their rightful due. Empower your thoughts by more clearly aligning them with your real financial goals.
