Becoming rich begins from your mindset.

Becoming Rich begins with your Mindset I have written on this time without number but I believe strongly that it’s worth repeating that becoming rich begins with your mindset . Napoleon Hill in his book “Think and Grow Rich” said that when you begin to think and grow rich, you will observe that riches begin with a state of mind, with definiteness of purpose and with little or no hard work . And I believe this statement in its entirety. “ Getting rich begins with the right mindset,the right words and the right plan. ” – Rich Dad In the book “Think and grow rich” Napoleon Hill emphasized the fact that success comes to those who become success conscious and failure comes to those who indifferently allow themselves to become failure conscious . He also pointed out the fact that one of the main weaknesses of mankind is the average man’s familiarity withthe word “ impossible. ” “ The word impossible has been and remains deleted from our dictionary. ” – Ingvar Kamprad It was based on these points that I drew out my lesson two that states: “ Becoming rich begins with the right mindset. ” I have written tons of articles with respect to developing your mindset so you can check them out if refocusing your mindset is your priority. 3. You are the master of your fate Do you believe in fate? Do you believe that your life is being controlled by some supernatural forces? Do you believe that your fate or destiny has been predetermined even before your birth ? Then I feel you should have a rethink. Well, even before I came across this life lesson from “Think and grow rich,” I had already developed the perception or belief that I am responsible for my life . And that’s why Abraham Lincoln said that “ a man is not responsible for the beginning of his life but the end thereof. ” Well, if you think you are more spiritual than Iam; then think again because even God said in the scripture that: “ See thou a man diligent in his business? He shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before vain men. ” – Proverbs 22: 29 “ For whatsoever thy hands find to do, do itwith all thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom in the grave. ” – Ecclesiastes 9: 10 “ Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man sow, that shall he also reap. ” – Galatians 6: 7 Though while trying to sound not too spiritual, I want you to know that life was formed on rules and that’s why philosophers believe that nothings happens without a reason or cause . I strongly believe in miracles but I want you to know that miracles don’t just happen; miracles are always the product of two factors “Faith and Self belief.” So what am I trying to stress? The point I am trying to emphasize here is that you are responsible for your life . You have not being predestined to be rich or poor; eitherof them is a choice which only you can choose for yourself . So if you believe in fate, I want you to abandon that belief and take charge of your life today. After all, no one is doomed to bad luck and the bible emphasized this fact in the statement that “ as a man thinketh in his heart, so he is. ”So take charge of your life today; take control of your life’s direction. Just as Napoleon Hill said, “ you are the master of your fate. ” 4. The starting point of all achievement is desire How did great men become great? How didthe richest people in the world become rich? The answer is very simple; they strongly desired it and they used that desire as an inspiration to reach for greatness. “ I intend to be, the richest man in the world. ” – Howard Hughes Henry Ford did not become a billionaire by chance; he desired it. Barrack Obama did not emerge the president of United States by chance; he strongly desired it and worked towards it. Wal-Mart did not become the mostcapitalized company in the world by chance; the management desired it and acted on the laid down principles of its founder “ Sam Walton ” to make that desire a reality. “ Dream more than others, think practical. ”– Howard Schultz So if you are going to achieve anything worthwhile in life, then you must strongly desire it and must be willing to make somesacrifices for that desire to become a reality . That draws the curtain on lesson number four: “ The starting point of all achievement is desire. ” 5. Knowledge is not power My lesson number five may look controversialbut I don’t expect it to be because it’s the truth. We have all grown up bearing in mind that knowledge is power but I want to state clearly that “ Knowledge is not power. ” Knowledge is only potential power; the wise application of knowledge is where the true power lies. In the book “ Think and grow rich, ” Napoleon Hill stressed the point that knowledge will not attract money; unless itis organized and intelligently directed through practical plans of action . Lack of understanding of this fact has been the source of confusion to millions of people who falsely believe that knowledge is power.
