3 False Thoughts About Wealth That Are Preventing You From Being Rich

By Alex Blouck


Do you have a feeling that your attitude or thoughts about wealth might be standing in your way of achieving great things in your life? Does talking about or thinking about money make you feel uneasy or unhappy? It very well might be that you have a problem with money that is affecting the amount of wealth in your life as well as your happiness in general. If you feel uneasy thinking about wealth then here are a few things for you to ponder. They very well might enlighten you as well as help you to open the door to becoming wealthy.

You see, there are a few misconceptions about wealth and money in the world that might be preventing you from becoming rich and actually being happy. It's a terrible struggle. You might wish for wealth yet deep down inside we fear wealth and what society has taught us about being wealthy. Society and your parents didn't intend to hold you back or plant these thoughts in your mind. Chances are that you are a very good and caring person and these teachings go against what you might think the world says about wealth.

First, the belief that you need money to make money is sometimes taken a gospel truth. If you feel that you are doomed to the social class or tax bracket that you currently inhabit, this might be a belief that you hold to be true. You see wealthy people who are able to invest large sums in stock and business ventures. They reap big rewards and a loss is only a small sum of what they own so it barely phases them.

While it might be true that it's easier to invest large sums of money and lose large sums and still survive for the world's wealthiest individuals, everybody had to start somewhere. Most of the world's most successful people started with nothing or lost everything and had to rebuild their empire a time or two. Belief, desire and a dream were their leverage and it can be the same for you if. It is often their thoughts or vision that make them their wealth and not simply investing in the right stocks or businesses.

Next, many of us believe that in order for us to make large sums of money, it must come from someone else. We believe that wealth is a zero sum game. This means that in order for us to have something it must be taken away from someone else. We become rich while someone else becomes poor. If we have any sort of heart or soul, this can be troubling and it can cause you to subconsciously resist wealth and money.

The good news is that the way to true riches is through helping others and making the world a better place to live in. At its core, the path to insane wealth comes from making the world easier for others to live in. By creating solutions to common problems, alleviating pain and saving people time, money and frustration you become rich. Just think about that for a moment and you will know that it is true. The computer saves people time and makes work more efficient and this is why men and women who are responsible for bringing computers into this world are some of the wealthiest people in the world these days. Your way of helping others and solving problems might not be as grand but out there is a problem that the world needs solved. Solve that problem and you will find true wealth and riches.

The last lie that we have all been told is that money is the root of all evil. Most of us have heard this and been taught it since we were children. You might even despise wealthy people and their apparent greediness. In your mind you might even worry that you will lose your friends and family if you were to become rich. You worry that you'd change and become arrogant or that people will become jealous and despise you because of how much money you have.

Here's the truth. You don't have to change a thing after you become rich. Money doesn't have to change you. It is your choice how you live your life and how you treat people. Other people's jealousy is their own problem. You have a life to live and probably people that you wish to take care of. Do you really want to sacrifice their happiness because of what other people will think? Greed and being willing to do anything for money is evil. Providing value to the world and solving some of the world's problems should be a goal that we strive towards. The money or wealth is only a byproduct of wanting to help others.

Don't let these thoughts hold you back from true happiness and fulfilling your destiny. You deserve to be happy. You deserve to know what it's like to have all your bases covered and to be able to give your family the experiences that you want them to have. These are only faulty thoughts inside your mind that are keeping a very good person from doing something that you think is wrong. Once you understand that there's nothing to fear and that you have a purpose in this world, wealth will come easily and in droves. Release yourself from that burden and understand the true meaning of wealth and riches. The world is counting on you.
