Prosperous Living

Prosperous living requires that our negative money programing be replaced with an acceptance into the psyche of one central fact: there is literally enough money circulating in the world for everyone to be a millionaire.

The great genius Buckminster Fuller, who went from bankruptcy in his 30’s to the halls of international fame in later life, found that if we were to divide all of the world’s wealth equally, we would each get about $12 million in today’s terms.

But in a world rife with negative money programming, the reality is that 2 percent of adults command more than half of the world's wealth while the bottom half possess just 1 percent.

Rejecting the Legacy

You probably came upon this site looking for a way to become a part of this 2% of top wealth owners.

I am here to tell you that, no matter who you are, no matter what your resources or your thoughts about your luck or fortune, no matter your communication or persuasive skills, prosperous living is within your grasp. If you set your mind to it, you can build a healthy relationship with money that will serve you for years to come.

You can tap into the same techniques that are granting hundreds of thousands of people who speak the language of prosperity with unlimited opportunities and achievement. Whether your goal is to become a successful entrepreneur, investor, employee or professional, your passport to prosperity is available as soon as you complete work on your money mindset.

But if you are going to follow this path, here are the rules:

No more complaints about not playing on a level playing field with the rich and well connected.

No more grousing about “accidents of birth” that gave other people all of the advantages over you.

I have seen money changing hands among some of the wealthiest people in America, and what I have found over the last two decades is that luck has very little to do with prosperous living. The top entrepreneurs and investors do not think about money in the way that the rest of the world does. They are in such alignment with the spirit of wealth that they believe their control over money to be a foregone conclusion.

Here are some steps that you can take to eliminate the negative programming that is part of our culture of money revulsion:

Stare Down the Dysfunction

One of my favorite self-help gurus, Neale Donald Walsch, wrote that "what we resist persists, and what we look at disappears."

Recognizing our dysfunctional thinking about money is a crucial first step in the process of developing a millionaire mindset and switching off our negative programming.

If you are have a distaste you have for money and for highly successful people, resisting your resentment over the fact that prosperity and abundance have evaded you, don’t deny your feelings and their source.

Look at how and when you were coded this way and see the flawed thinking behind that programming for what it is. Eliminate self-blame because these feelings are not your fault. Recognize that these feelings are all by-products of the way you have been conditioned to think about money over the course of your life.

Be aware of the paradox: you want more of something that in many ways is a proxy for things in the world that you may think are unfair -- maybe even bad -- maybe even evil.

And yet, you still want more of it to show up in your life in your quest for a prosperous living, right?

Don’t resist the love-hate feelings that you have. Recognize them and work on it. As you tap into the collective consciousness, you will learn how you can turn these feelings to your advantage even as you get rid of them.

Many rich people implode under the weight of money dysfunction that they still carry in their hearts from their faulty coding, and they end up in a state of self destruction. Consider the media coverage of lottery winners who blow their entire fortunes and wind up right back where they started. Consider the studies done illustrating that people who come into financial windfalls are no happier 3 or 4 years down the road than they were beforehand.

That is not wealth. Wealth is a combination of financial prosperity and sound income preservation choices that are made with a healthy money mindset. Deal with this dysfunction now, so that you can treat your newfound abundance and prosperity with all of the respect and gratitude it deserves, and most importantly, so you can keep it!

Turn to the Leading Mentors

When looking for role models in developing a prosperity mindset, I turned to people like Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki, who took the time to release their blueprints for prosperous living publicly. It was their positive mental attitude that gave them the liberty to take risks, something that is an essential ingredient to prosperous living. Some of these risks bore fruit. Others caused them to lose fortunes. But these moguls never let their failures derail them or stop them from taking risks because they never lost their confidence in their money magnetism.

If you try to build wealth with a poverty mindset, then every time you have a setback you are going to think that you deserved it or the failure was in keeping with what you learned through your early life about the deceptive and abusive qualities of money. These misplaced values will be reinforced and you will give up, possibly just as your success was about to bloom.

The wealthy see setbacks as opportunities to learn and grow. Their prosperity affirmations and beliefs persist without the consent of their parents, their bosses, their friends or their colleagues. It is a mental shift that is a part of their conscious decision to put themselves into alignment with the power of money.

Let me point you to the Millionaire Mindset section of the self-perception resources page. I highly recommend that you start learning more about people like Trump, Kiyosaki, Napoleon Hill and Jeffrey Coombs. They can give you more of a flavor for the kind of prosperity mindset that we need to grow into so we can choose to move towards abundance and away from lack and frustration. Use them as prosperous living mentors as you build a network of like minded live humans to encourage you.

Join a Network

The best way to develop a new mindset is to hang around people with the mindset that you want to develop and with whom to safely share your fears and concerns.

One suggestion is to see whether there are any money clubs or investment clubs in your area that are seeking membership. This is a great way to meet like minded people who are actively engaged in a process of deliberate wealth creation.

Another way to find like-minded people is to take advantage of the training and support networks available with top tier online businesses. There are people across the world who are tapping the secrets of a prosperous living and turning towards a harmonious relationship with money that you can use as leverage. You just have to make up your mind to reach out to them.

Conclusion

Our love-hate relationship with money is deeply ingrained in modern society. But over the course of the next decade, we very well may see the top half of the world’s wealth spread beyond the current 2% of the population (making Buckminster Fuller proud), as the Internet continues to provide us with small business opportunities and easier access to inspirational wealth building materials. These trends will hopefully teach us to pull up the roots of our dysfunction and take more courageous steps towards prosperous living so that we can finally transcend the negative coding of our pasts.
