“You are not what you think you are.But what you think YOU ARE!”Dr. Norman Vincent Peale

Have you never been afraid of anything? I do not think so. Our programs run very deep into our mind since the first time someone said, “The witch is coming and is taking you away.” Something so poetical that traumatized us for the rest of our lives. We stay in our fears for so long that we are not able to improve ourselves. Sometimes we are old and still afraid of things that we should not be afraid of any longer. The person, who has many fears, dies many times. We move many of the programs of our childhood to our financial matters. “We are poor yet honest,” “Money is hard to get,” “Money does not grow in trees,” “Hard earned dollars,” “pinch pennies save dollars”: we all listened these phrases before. Those slang phrases are detrimental to us. They have programmed our subconscious. We are always afraid that there is not enough money or that we could become poor.We do not realize that our fears prevent us from obtaining what we want and also severely limit our prosperity. We have to go out for the money or the things we want.
We must realize we are one of a kind. A lot of the people who teach prosperity won’t tell you this part and you will spend a lot of time waiting for the money to drop out of the sky. You have to work for what you want. Sometimes you have to do it in the middle of misunderstandings or solitude, with people around laughing at you because they do not understand your vision. That is the reason why we get afraid. One of the main motivators in our life is fear (the other one is pleasure). Fear to lose the little money or the status we enjoy. We have to try new things and not being afraid of the unknown. If you do not jump, you will never know if the parachute is going to open. I know this is drastic, but that is how a lot of things are in life.
A friend of mine, who became a millionaire,told me, “I have never lost the perspective. I arrived to this country having nothing at all.”He used that thought as a weapon against the anguish and the fears, so he was able to improve, take calculated risks and move forward. He has achieved every dream he followed. If you aim for the moon, you always can hit a star. Do not forget that you came to this world barely with and Adam suit and nothing else. In a presentation, Dan Kennedy portraits the fears that face the people who want to have money:
“A) Having money will create all sorts of problems for me.”
“B) Having money will alienate me from myfamily and my friends.”
“C) Having money will make me a target to be taken advantage of.”
“D) Having money will make me a bad person.”
“E) Making money too easily is wrong.”
“F) Rich people are unhappy.”
“G) Money won’t buy happiness.”
The three first are a reality and you cannot do anything else than living with them.When you have money you will have a different type of problems and that is fine, if you change the word “problem” in your mind for “situations” and then you solve them. Money will reveal the character of your friends as well as yours. You will gain visibility and you can be attacked, nobody throws stones to a tree that does not bear fruits. I am sure you can find another 10 or 20 reasons not to have money.Someone said, “I was afraid and my greatest
fears never came true.” About the rest do not even worry: making money easily is better than doing it the hard way.Rich or poor people are happy in proportion to their philosophy and their ability to enjoy life.
