Are you Afraid to be Rich? Confronting Your Fear of Financial Success

One of the basics of acquiring wealth is to focus your mind upon wealth, ignoring any suggestions of scarcity, lack or limitation. This helps "set the stage" for attracting abundance and prosperity into your life. It also keeps you from wasting time and energy focusing on nonsense that has nothing to do with your actual goal -- to become a truly wealthy person. You know what they say, you have to keep your eyes on the prize.

Next up, you have to make sure you have a good attitude about money to begin with. A lot of people say they desire to be wealthy, but when you get right down to it, they have a negative attitude about money. Many of these people will even criticize others who have great wealth, and this is always a big mistake. You're practically telling your subconscious that money is "the root of all evil," and that having money makes you a bad person. With that attitude, do you really think your unconscious is going to help you out in attracting wealth and prosperity into your life?

And by the way, if you're wondering why the unconscious is important in attracting wealth, it's really pretty simple: you need to be "integrated" in your pursuit of wealth. In other words, your entire mind should be working in harmony toward your goal. You don't need subconscious hangups sabotaging you along the way (something that happens to a great many people).

Here's a really simple rule of thumb: if you want to be a rich person, always think positive thoughts about rich people. If you criticize or put down the wealthy, you're not guiding your mind in the direction of being wealthy. You're actually telling it to go the other way -- toward scarcity and lack.

Here's another important point: most of us have been brainwashed into believing that scarcity is simply "the way things are." You've surely heard those old sayings such as "Money doesn't grow on trees," etc. This mindset will lead to limiting beliefs about money that will make it a constant struggle for you to live a naturally abundant life. If the world and its cultures have convinced you into believing that it's difficult to be wealthy, you need to "see through" this assumption right away. The fact is, it's not difficult at all. It's only difficult for those who lack the imagination to question this ridiculous belief. And unfortunately, as long as they continue falling for this false paradigm, the wealth and abundance they desire will continue to elude them.

Likewise, it is important to recognize that wealth and abundance follow natural patterns. If you learn and follow the patterns, you will become a wealthy person. If you don't, you probably won't. Simple as that.

You could compare the patterns to the flow of a river, and there is always a give and take. In order to receive, you have also got to give. So trying to be tight-fisted or stingy as a strategy to get wealthy is usually a fool's errand. You can't play the game with sweaty palms, so you need to release the fear, and be willing to take some chances. This means you also have to take a chance on other people sometimes. No man or woman is an island.

Finally, your biggest opponent in creating wealth will always be the same: fear. It could be fear of disappointment, fear of failure, fear of success, fear that money might change you, fear of taking risks, or fear of reaching out to others who can help you along the way. They all come down to the same thing, and you're either going to let fear control your life, or you're going to steamroll over it and achieve the prosperity you desire. Don't kid yourself, those are the only two options available to you. Steamroll or cave. I won't tell you it will always be easy to work through the fear, but you can do it.

Once you begin thinking positively about wealth and ignoring all suggestions of scarcity, you will be on the right track. Focusing on abundance has a way of showing you new possibilities and opportunities that you never realized existed before. Once you start noticing them, then your biggest challenge is to break through the fear barrier and act on them. As much as your thinking, beliefs and attitude are essential in creating wealth, you also cannot overlook the value of simply taking action.
