Financial Wealth : It's MUCH Easier To Attain Than Most Believe

I thought I'd focus specifically today on an aspect of wealth that the mass majority believe is what will create happiness in their lives.

Money.

Many today believe that when they attain a predefined monetary goal that everything in their life is going to be OK...that then they'll be happy. Sorry to inform you but money in and of itself doesn't make your life OK...nor will it make you happy.

In fact when the perception is held that money serves as the barometer which determines happiness, you'll find that happiness is never experienced. You'll find yourself always wanting more thinking that the next thousand or ten thousand or million will do the trick only to find that there's still an emptiness...some existing void that you can't seem to put your finger on.

I have personally been there, done that and bought the t-shirt as well as consult with countless others who have, once reaching a level of financial wealth, discovered the same thing.

That's not to say that money isn't an important "factor" in experiencing happiness, fulfillment and "Real Wealth" in our day to day lives because it is EXTREMELY important. If we're unable to pay our bills and support our families, we carry a great deal of stress on our shoulders. A lack of money can and does create fear, anxiety and can quite literally lead to illness. But it isn't the lack of money which does this although many will disagree. It's our perceptions and beliefs with regard to it which serve as the underlying cause and is precisely what will enable these "undesirable" experiences to continue.

Yes, money is important in our world, but it's a seriously flawed and widely misunderstood "perception" to conclude that money is the key to happiness rather than the "real truth" which is that money is important.


Don't misunderstand…

A desire to attain financial freedom is a very commendable goal to have. Financial wealth is an important "aspect" of experiencing "Real Wealth" and fulfillment in life, but it is just that…an aspect of of "Real Wealth." To attain financial wealth means to be able to give more...to contribute more, which in turn enables us to gain more wealth.


In consulting and working with various people who possess a strong desire to amass financial wealth, although initially they might truly believe that it's monetary wealth and financial freedom that they're after, the reality is that it's not really anything financial at all but rather the ability to be enabled to do what they want when they want.

It's not the money in and of itself, but what the money will enable them to do and how they will feel when they are experiencing the many pleasures that money can and does provide.

It is about the freedom…about experiencing a quality of life, but it really has nothing to do with money. It has to do with time freedom, the ability to engage in fulfilling work that you receive satisfaction and fulfillment from rather than doing what you feel you must do to survive…it's REALLY about providing for those that we love most the kind of lifestyle that we have a desire to provide.

Now that we've established that fact, let's look at another widely held misconception regarding the attainment of money...

Many "believe" that the attainment of financial wealth is difficult. Perhaps you believe the same thing.

Contrary to widespread "belief", in today's world attaining financial wealth isn't difficult at all. In fact it can be quite simple once you become willing to expand your focus and accept the fact that whatever it is that you've been doing which has created the current circumstances is going to continue to produce the same results you've been receiving unless you become willing to make some changes and do something different.

The fact is that if change is desired, it's going to be necessary to realize that it's you that's going to have to change first. Contrary to what MOST would have you "believe" that this change must consist of, the change that will provide the greatest and most sustainable benefit has nothing to do with working longer and harder at something that you find displeasing but rather begins with a willingness to expand your awareness as to the "infinite" possibilities which are available to you. It's simply a matter of expanding your beliefs and shifting your paradigms.

As an example…

The incredible leveraging technologies available and easily accessible in today's world since the creation of the internet, make it quite easy to amass substantial amounts of money in far less time and with far less "physical effort" than has ever been possible in the history of the world.

The wealth creating power of the internet has increased one's ability to amass financial wealth exponentially over traditional brick and mortar businesses

Granted there are many that hold "beliefs" that they don't have the education, the technical know how or the ability to utilize this wealth creation machine to amass financial wealth for themselves, but these "beliefs" are totally unfounded and only held due to an unwillingness to become aware of the incredibly simplified systems and resources which have become available in the past decade that even a small child could effectively initiate and utilize.

The numerous turnkey wealth creating systems that exist today eliminate the need for extensive knowledge of technology, marketing savvy and business degrees. The internet has opened up doors of opportunity for amassing financial wealth

Achieving financial freedom doesn't require expensive university degrees, some new idea, invention or breakthrough discovery. It only requires a bit of understanding as to what's available to you and making a "conscious choice" to utilize and apply the simple forms of technologies that are readily available to anyone willing to become aware of them. That's the first step. Once this is accomplished it's only necessary to become "conscious of", learn to recognize, change and look beyond the self sabotaging belief filters that keep so many trapped in "seemingly" inescapable financial bondage. A lack of financial freedom or lack in any area of life for that matter is merely a perception held in mind that creates that "reality" in your life.

These self limiting perceptions are numerous

In my encounters with countless people, the very systems that are used by many to create substantial amounts of financial wealth are often "perceived" to be "too good to be true" or as many are so quick to label them…scams.

Why is it that some recognize and effectively utilize the incredible technological tools and resources available to them and utilize them for creating financial wealth while others choose to sit on the sidelines hoping, wishing, and as a result never discovering the very processes that would enable them to amass the financial wealth that they "claim" they want? Simply a different set of beliefs.

I know how prevalent limiting beliefs concerning the attainment of financial wealth are, because I encounter these types nearly everyday but choose not to engage with or expose myself to them for long. They choose to "judge" and claim they "know" from personal experience how anything presented to them which would enable them to acquire substantial wealth in under 40 years must be a get rich quick scam that is only designed for extracting money from people.

The important thing that these types miss and fail or refuse to understand is that it is those very beliefs held which created their experience to begin with and due to their "knowing"…the beliefs that they hold which WILL serve as the underlying cause for keeping them "working hard" for 40 or more years and keep them from ever achieving the financial wealth that they claim they desire to experience.

That's not to imply that their don't exist those who do attempt to extract rather than contribute to the financial well being of others, but they are blatantly obvious.

There exists far more credible and powerful wealth creation mechanisms that are legitimate which can and do create enormous wealth for individuals than those which don't.


A lack of money and financial resources in today's world is simply due to a lack of awareness as to what's available to you or an unwillingness to recognize and apply what is readily available and easily accessible to any willing to discover and utilize them. A "perception" and belief held that "money is hard and difficult to acquire" is most certainly not a "truth" in today's world but rather only an individual "perception" of truth which is precisely what makes it "real" for so many.

One doesn't have to look far to see that the Universe is extravagantly abundant. This abundance can be easily observed in nature. It's only necessary to open your eyes to it and become aware of it.

Choosing to focus on and spend time with those that spread and preach the doom and gloom of everything that's wrong in the world can and most certainly will serve to support and create additional "beliefs" concerning how limited we are, but it certainly doesn't make it "true." Choosing to bombard yourself with what's wrong with the world whether it be the state of the economy, crime rates, etc. etc. only serves to form "perceptions" of truth at a subconscious level which will unfold in each area of your life just as you "believe" they will.

The predominant media is a primary example. Choosing to expose yourself to this type of "programming" is most certainly a choice to accept and fall into the mindset of the majority and as a result form the underlying "beliefs" that will reflect your experience in life without fail.

The bottom line is…

A lack of financial freedom and plenty in a world that is extravagantly abundant is only due to individual self limiting and self sabotaging beliefs held with regard to your ability to acquire money and financial freedom which initiates consistent thought processes focused on a lack of money which creates that reality.

This isn't some new age understanding!! It has been taught for thousands of years by some of the most enlightened masters in the history of the world, although modern day science has only begun to validate these teachings in the last hundred years or so.

It seems to me that verifiable and substantiated physical validation of these teachings wouldn't require a hundred years to grasp and apply to begin creating what it is that so many desire. So why does it? Beliefs…pre-established and unfounded beliefs, plain and simple combined with a lack of awareness concerning them or an unwillingness to recognize and change them.

The consistent thoughts that you choose to think are the very thoughts which can and will create lack and limitation financially and otherwise.

Consistent thoughts and feelings based on lack and limitation with regard to financial freedom can no more create financial freedom than can a dandelion seed be expected to produce a rose. Your thoughts are the seed which determine your life experience whether it be in the area of financial freedom or any other area of life. These thought processes are determined by beliefs held by you.

So many today hold beliefs that when their life experience changes they'll be happy. "They'll believe it when they see it." You'll never experience happiness and life changes until and unless your often time "unconscious" thought processes and beliefs which are responsible for creating the current external conditions change. This is nothing more than wishful thinking and why those who experience financial plenty are such a small minority.

The only difference between those who are wealthy financially or otherwise and those who are not is merely a difference in the way they think…period.

To initiate change it's only necessary to change yourself. Not by working harder and doing more. That's precisely how the majority have been conditioned and as a result attempt to do it which is precisely why stress, anxiety, fatigue and emotional distress are at epidemic levels.

You can continue to follow the advice and footsteps of the masses if you choose…to continue to buy into the falsely established traditional beliefs of the majority, but based on my own personal experiences and reviewing the many statistics available regarding the vast majority of individuals who struggle from paycheck to paycheck, as well as those who have "worked hard" their entire lives only to find themselves scraping and struggling to survive in their golden years, I'd have to conclude that there is a lack of understanding that the majority isn't receiving or if they are, they're not paying attention to it.

Their exist countless numbers of extremely powerful wealth creation systems today that are so ingeniously constructed, thorough and almost completely automated enabling you to leverage your efforts and as a result enable and empower you to produce more than enough money and financial freedom allowing you to do what you want, when you want with who you want.

It's not these systems that will enable you to experience wealth and financial freedom in your life, it is your beliefs regarding them which is the determining factor.

Experiencing Real Wealth in life is an inner thing. You can't, don't and never will experience happiness and fulfillment by acquiring financial wealth, you acquire financial wealth by first being happy and fulfilled. In fact once you begin to understand and apply this "truth" you'll begin to recognize and understand just how powerful and unfailing The Law Of Attraction is.

Attempting to create and achieve happiness through monetary gain is futile. Financial freedom isn't about nor can be acquired and retained long term through doingness…it's about beingness. Beingness is an inside job, doingness is an outside job and the result…the effects experienced as a result of your inner beingness.

We exist in a cause and effect world. For every effect there exists an underlying cause. Many unfortunately "perceive" the cause to be doingness. This is a flawed and very limiting perception to hold. Although physical doingness does produce results, they are and always will be very limited and temporary. The "true" cause goes much deeper than physical doingness. Doingness is merely an effect of your beingness. Yes it requires some doingness to achieve financial freedom, but when the internal beingness is aligned and harmonized correctly the doingness becomes pleasurable and fulfilling. When you become wealthy inside you'll know and understand what it means to experience and retain "Real Wealth" outside which extends far beyond financial wealth.

Contributing to others is the fastest and simplest way to achieve financial freedom. It's all about giving. That's the flow that so many today overlook which is precisely why so many experience lack in the financial arena. Giving is the key to receiving. Look at nature. To receive a harvest you must first plant the seed. To receive the reward you must give the ground something to return to you a harvest.

Contrary to many widespread teachings…manipulative and false teachings I might add, this giving must be done out of joy, NOT guilt or obligation. You give what you can cheerfully and joyfully and you will receive back. Many give money out of guilt and feelings of obligation that makes them "feel" anxious and uncomfortable and wonder why they don't receive. It's ALL about how you feel about the giving. It's your intention.

To amass financial wealth is as simple as developing an understanding of the flow which creates it. Nature is a perfect example of this flow. The timeless wisdom that Nature abhors a vacuum is profound wisdom to gain. No more can nature produce without you planting the seed can the flow provide you with financial freedom without the giving that's required.

This giving begins at the level of consciousness…what you think and believe. All things following are the harvest reaped as a result of these initial seeds.

All the physical techniques, tricks and strategies that are so prevalent today and which so many attempt to teach today are a very shallow and limiting way of achieving financial freedom without the underlying beliefs that harmonize with and determine their effectiveness. Real Wealth begins inside. When you begin to look at and understand the "true" cause…really get to the core, the source from where ALL physical results come from whether in the area of financial freedom or otherwise and harmonize your thoughts, words, and actions with them, the ability to achieve and experience financial freedom and/or fulfillment in EVERY aspect of life is merely a by product. It just happens…and in ways that can be "perceived" as effortless and magical.

If you "truly" have a desire to amass financial wealth and achieve financial freedom, simply help enough others to so the same. It's NOT about giving them money but introducing them to the ways and means that will fulfill their desires. When you fill other peoples desires, your desires will be fulfilled.

Zig Ziglar, one of America's most recognized authorities on achieving success and fulfillment in life nailed it when he said…

"If you can dream it, then you can achieve it. You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want."

Look at that statement closely. Dreaming it begins where? At the level of consciousness…at the thought level. What's the second half of that statement? The planting of seeds providing enough others with what they want which provides you with what YOU want.

Albert Einstein, one of the greatest scientists in the history of the world validates that understanding…

"Imagination is more important than knowledge. We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."

If you "truly" want to create financial freedom in your life it is vitally important that you make the "conscious choice " to discover and recognize the underlying "beliefs and thought patterns that are keeping it from becoming a physical reality in your life.

I nor anyone else can do that for you. That's a very personal and individual choice. It's my passion and purpose to provide what I have come to understand through the years as the result of my own experiences and studies, but ultimately the decision to do or not do something with and about it lies with you.

It all begins with what you "believe" and "perceive" to be true. Harmonize those with your desires and you'll experience those desired outcomes without fail.

Your "Perception" And Beliefs Concerning Wealth Is What Determines How Wealthy You Will Or Will Not Become

Wealth can mean a lot of things to various people. For one it could mean a set amount of financial resources, for another health and vitality, for still another wholesome and fulfilling relationships.

These perceptions of wealth as unique and individual as they are, are formed based on what we have come to establish as truth in the various areas of our lives. More specifically, they are merely beliefs and perceptions that we hold individually.

To one who perceives wealth to mean an amount of money, and who may have amassed a multi-million dollar portfolio, to a multi-billionaire, millionaire status wouldn't be considered significant wealth at all.


The point being is that wealth is whatever you choose and "perceive" it to be. Granted, the majority perceive it to be a dollar figure, but in reality...in the bigger scheme of things money nor any amount of toys and physical pleasures is what wealth really is.


Real Wealth is experienced as a result of being wealthy on the inside, regardless of what the physical circumstances "appear" to be. Real Wealth isn't something that's acquired or earned or gained in the physical sense...it's not something that you get..."Real Wealth" is something that you are.

When you develop inner wealth, the wealth you have gained can never be lost or taken away. Yes, you could lose your money and things temporarily, but that wouldn't determine nor lower your wealth quotient. Although you may have temporarily lost the physical aspects of monetary wealth...ie. the money, toys, etc., when you are wealthy on the inside where it counts, regaining the physical aspects of wealth becomes second nature.

Multi-billionaire Donald Trump is a prime example. At one point he lost all he had in a physical sense and was up to his eyeballs in debt. What enabled him to climb back up and far exceed his previous experience was that his inner wealth couldn't be rattled or shaken.

When you develop an inner wealth, the tangible things that most perceive to be wealth happen, at times and in ways that can seem magical and effortless. When wealth is developed within, the external wealth that most perceive to determine their level of wealth happens as a by product and is limited only by the amount of wealth that you choose to develop within.

To acquire physical wealth is merely a choice which is limited only by your willingness to discover and develop the inner wealth that makes it all possible.

In a nutshell...

Becoming wealthy within will enable you to experience wealth without. As within...so without.

Real Wealth is made possible by establishing a inner harmony in every aspect of your life physically, financially, relationally, emotionally and spiritually all of which are made possible through your individual choices to develop or not develop the internal wealth that makes anything and everything possible in the physical world which most perceive to be reality.

That's something to ponder on and allow to soak in for a while.
