What is Wealth Consciousness and Why Should You Develop It?
| Wealth consciousness is something most people have trouble with because it seems so contrary to what they see around them. Let's face it, almost all of us have been raised with limiting beliefs that cause us to see lack and scarcity everywhere. We see on the news poverty, lack, pain and suffering and we nod and say, "That's how it is in the world". |
| Then we have the relatively few who have developed wealth or prosperity consciousness. They see the world as being full of opportunity and infinite abundance and they are the ones most likely to be called unrealistic. However, these are the same people that manage to build thriving businesses and reach very high levels of success and happiness while the "realists" continue to dread. |
| In other words, the majority of us live in fear that we will not gain the things we want and need and, if we do manage to get them, we will lose them and never gain them back. By contrast, those with a wealth consciousness perspective realize that if they got it once, they can get it again. This is how millionaires can go broke in a bad business venture and gain it all back within a year. They realize that if they got there once, they can get there again any time they choose. This is the essence of prosperity consciousness and it is something all of us should strive to develop because it doesn’t only apply to money, it applies to every achievement. As my sculpting teaching used to say, “Don’t worry about messing up something you’ve made. You’re the artist. If you created it once, you can always create it again”. |
| What if you never gained it in the first place? Then you need to examine what you are thinking and feeling about the thing you wish to gain and make adjustments where necessary. For insance, if I ask you to come up with an extra $50,000 by next month, what goes through your mind? Are they thoughts such as "Impossible!" or "There's no way I could come up with that much in so little time". What if I asked you to come up with $50,000 by next year? What thoughts enter your mind then? How about 2 years from now? 3 years? You see, somewhere, you reach a point where you feel it's very doable to earn $50,000 and any point before that is considered impossible. But if I were to ask Donald Trump or Bill Gates or Warren Buffet to come up with $50,000, they would have it in minutes. Not because they are already rich but because they don't have the mental block that says that amount is too high. Again, they view the world through wealth consciousness rather than lack consciousness. |
| If I asked you to produce $10 by tomorrow, do you think you could do that? Yes? Why is $10 achievable but $10,000 isn't? Although it doesn't seem this way, the difference is only in your mind. You believe one amount is achieveable and the other is not. Could you produce $20 by tomorrow? Could you produce $50? What about $100? Again, as we go up the scale, you will find a number that your mind says, "Ok, stop. That's asking too much. I can't do that!" and that dollar amount is precisely where you will stop being able to produce or earn money within that time frame. |
| If you combine the two numbers you've discovered, the time frame and the dollar amount, you find the limiting belief running in your subconscious that dictates how much money you can earn in a certain time frame. For example, if you found that you believe you can only earn $100 a day and any more than that seems unrealistic, you've discovered a limiting belief which is leading you to lack consciousness. Why can't you make more than $100 a day? Whatever your answer is, that is what's holding you back. |
| Another question is, "How do I earn $100 a day?" If you answer, "I only get that through my job" then you've uncovered another limiting belief. Why is it that you can only earn that amount of money through your job and not through other avenues that might be more enjoyable to you? Whatever your answer happens to be, it is keeping you stuck. |
| As I mentioned earlier, wealth consciousness doesn't just apply to money. It can be expanded to anything else in life, which is why it is so important to develop. I hope you have a new insight into your thoughts and why you might seem to be stuck at a certain level of place in your life. |
