Manifest Wealth Through Creative Perspective. What Type of Reality Are You Creating?

Baby step #12 - Concentrate refocusing energy on current blessings and wealth, as opposed to breeding negativity by focusing on what you believe you lack.

When one continually feels a certain way, they believe it and consequently create a reality for themselves.

I can’t do it. It’s too difficult. I’m not sure. I’ll never be able to. I can. I’m able to. I will succeed, and this is how.

To believe you’re poor and impoverished will create a similar reality. However, if you recognize how extremely wealthy you are (through good health, family, friends, love, laughter, career satisfaction, experiences, and memories), you start feeling an enhanced sense of gratitude for every blessing in your life. By becoming satisfied in other areas, you also willingly invite further wealth into your life through positive energy and emotion.

What type of reality are you currently creating?

Manifest Wealth Through Positive Reinforcement

There is much more to accumulating wealth than mere dollars and cents or calculating figures and spreadsheets on a table. It’s a deeply rooted spiritual and emotional mindset. Mentally, we may find ourselves caught up in the wrong endeavors. Instead of focusing on the blessings in our life and expressing gratitude for the necessities we have, we tend to obsess over what we feel we lack. This creates a destructive mental chain of misery – which in turn manifests dissatisfaction, greed, and the insatiable desire of never having enough and always wanting more. Through recognition of our blessings, see how leading a happier life has never felt so simple.

It only takes a quick glance through some of the past articles posted this week (such as the corruption of wealth) to receive a glimpse of the tragic burden wealth has brought upon some individuals (most notably, lottery winners who fell into unexpected earnings.)

But the money itself isn’t the problem here.

These individuals appeared mentally unprepared to cope with the huge influx of money that suddenly befell them. Spiritually they were unable to assimilate money into their lives in a positive fashion, and their wealth spiraled out of control. It festered into an excruciatingly chaotic and destructive force. Some of these individuals may have forgotten to respect and appreciate what they had previously, or perhaps it was a lesson they never learned to begin with. By failing to respect the unexpected gift of wealth, they weren't able to utilize it in a beneficial or enlightening manner. It deteriorated their lives.

Gratitude For Every Penny

Because money is such a powerful universal force, it demands immense respect. But consider your own habits. Are you respecting your income properly?

Do you currently feel appreciative and satisfied with what you have? Are you consciously aware of your expenses? Is your money thrown all over the place in disarray and crumpled in your wallet, or is it neatly folded together? If you searched through your home, would you find enough change in your cushions to service a Laundromat for a month? Are you making irrational purchases without realizing where portions of your paycheck are being funneled?

One of my best friends recently bemoaned to me how she had no idea where her money was draining away to. Christmas had come and gone, of course. But she anticipated the expense and prepared for the holidays by budgeting for gifts. She didn’t believe that was where the problem lay.

I asked her to briefly walk me through one of her days. Besides regularly buying food at work, she suddenly realized she also spent over $1 on bottled water at the gym almost every day. Surely an insignificant purchase, she mused?

When we calculated the expense of the bottled water alone, we were shocked to realize she was spending over $350 a year on just water at the gym. That’s almost $1,000 over a three-year period. It suddenly dawned on her that it would be more practical to bring a thermos and fill it herself at the water fountain. She realized she could more wisely utilize that money, and scoffed at her ineptitude in just that tiny little area. She also realized how easy and cost-efficient it would be to bring lunch to work more often.

But, ironically, a trivial bottle of water began to represent a foolish expense that wasn’t in line with my friend's personal goals. From that day forward, it became a trigger point. A seed was planted in her mind that blossomed into a conscious awareness of how she was choosing to spend every portion of her money.

I am pleased that my friend, who used to be extremely intimidated by personal finances, (the mention of the stock market would literally send her running and squealing), is now willing to learn about retirement funding and proper investing. She has found a wiser approach on how to respect her money further. For the first time, she is taking firm control of her personal finances instead of allowing them to control her.

Mentally walk yourself through a day or two of your normal expenses. What careless spending will you uncover?

For those still unconvinced of their inherent wealth and would rather look at their concrete net worth, take a peek at how well you rank with the global wealth rich list. Were you surprised?
