Think Yourself Rich

Wen u think big,u dont settle for less.The power of success is in the mind.

It all starts in the mind but the key is to translate those thoughts into positive action...

Well, mind power is the central thing for achieving success in anything.
Unless you have a desire you won't take any actions at all.

To make it brief:

- psychology - the main factor to take into account when communicating to other people, without knowing basics of psychology your message might be not understood

- chi (ki, prana, life power, etc.) is just a name for the energy, owing to which all of us are alive

- LA - is a universal law, which means you have no possibility to succeed in what you are not ready to

- God - depends on your mindset. For me it's just another way to find a channel of communication with myself

- etc.

You see, the tower of Babel is not just a story - it symbolizes that we should have something in common to understand each other. And the language we choose for that purpose depends on too many things...

IMHO, everything concerning success begins with your wish and everything ends there too.

Yes, I believe that thoughts do turn into reality.

How do I believe it works? All things are created spiritually before they are created physically.

thank you
I will explain how in short description you ,may have ask this question,
Why some people, what ever they touch just turns to gold, while others just cant get a look in. Are they special people ! have they been blessed with some kind of magical powers! People like Richard Branson, Bill Gates, and Anthony Robbins, even Presidents, statesmen, politicians and millionaires.

Own and drive the car of your choice, which until now was just a far off dream Just imagine having all the money you ever want, to be debt free, no mortgage, no credit cards, no worries about domestic bills. No slogging your guts out for some one else as a wage slave just to break even each week. And every thing you buy you pay for in full, in cash. Yes this is what it feels like to have and apply the "Secret" of getting Rich.
You are now probably saying, " So why are you telling me all this?" Well the answer to that is easy, it's not to show off, it's that I would genuinely like to help you find your way in life, To help you achieve all these things and by following this system you can.

regared,

First of all you should consider and determine what "rich" means to you personally. Let me give you a hint. For a moment imagine you are a scientist and try to carefully examine the definitions of the term "rich" in a dictionary (Rich Definition | Definition of Rich at Dictionary.com) and also think over the origin of this word (Online Etymology Dictionary).

Have you noticed the basement for all those meaning? Yes, it's "having abundance of values". And the values are not just money; they are almost anything that is important to you.

Hence, determine for yourself what your values, your TRUE values in life are.

You may do it the following way: make a list of what you wish and care for. Include in it everythin you may think of. Don't forget about such spheres of your life as your self esteem, your family relations, your career, your talents and abilities, your intelligence, etc. It doesn't matter that your list may become quite large - write down everything you may think of as having some value to you.

So you're all set. Now look at your list and strikethrough those items you may well do without. This may be called as dividing your list into what you "wish" and what you "would like".

Let's be honest: the items that fall into the category of "would like" have low value to you. It's just a temptation. "That'll be great if I have that fine dress! (Though I already have three hundred of such ones)", "I want Porsche Carrera, it's so cool! (Though in my town there are no roads to drive it on)"...

So what to do with "would like" items? Just forget them! Don't put your energy to even thinking about them, you have not that much of it and you'll need your energy to fulfill what your really need. At this stage try to be severe upon youself.

Well now, your list has become a bit shorter (for those who were really honest with themselves - much shorter). The list contains the values worth working with.

At the next stage you should pick from the remaining items those that are vitally important to you. These may be called the things to "starve for" and they exactly represent your current values in life. Getting or fulfilling them will make you really RICH.

So as you may see, richness is about the balance between what you need and what you have. As for me, I think Jesus was the richest man in the world - he had everything he needed, though didn't have a dime. But times change and material values occupy much more minds of people today. Is it good or bad? Well, it depends of what you are going to do with your riches, or let's put if more precise - with your wealth.

Thus before stepping on the rocky road to become wealthy try to answer this question: "What will you do when you become rich? What will you do with all that money you'll have?"

Imagine yourself already possessing that huge amount of money and make a list of what you will spend them to. You may see that temptations will arise again. "Well, I have a possibility, why not to..." But don't yield to them; firmly stick to your REAL values. Money itself doesn't have any value. It's just a mean to fulfil something, to achieve something you REALLY need. Unfortunately there are so many people who don't know what to do with this mean...

All above is a preamble to becoming rich, but without it you won't reach anything.

And practical steps after this stage are: goal creating and goal fulfilling.

@lovelylou, Great ?, and my thoughts about this issue is SIMPLE.

First and foremost The Power Of The Mind, in the universal since, is more POWERFUL then we know to exist.

As Human Beings, we have the POWER to harness only a tiny fraction of this Universal Power, and rightly so, for can You imagine what a 3D functional being would do with this MIGHTY POWER if they had ULTIMATE UNIVERSAL MIND POWER...that's right They Would cause Mayham...for sure

A simple illustration of this on our 3D plan is What do You think would happen if ALL people on earth were on a Permanent Vacation being in the same state that the presently are??? You got it Mayham. In fact, to take this example further lets look at what kids do when their on summer vacation (in the thought that they have the power to do whatever and they are FREE to do so) and so what do they DO all day long, with this AWESOME POWER OF MIND AND FREEDOM, that's Right NOTHING really CONSTRUCTIVE at all. Taking this in consideration and adding to the fact that Adults are just BIGGER kids multiply that by 7+ Billion (KID/ADULTS, in the same MIND set) and You will see why the POWER OF THE UNIVERSE is sooooo adamant about keeping the 3D fools out! It's Only the INTELLIGENT thing to do, Right!

I mean wouldn't you if You knew that if you opened the DOOR to ALL they would just come in and S--- all over the place??? I most certainly would KEEP THEM OUT and I DO, I'm very adamant and discerning in ALL aspects of my life...So, that I can keep my POWER and PEACE

But, if your looking for the common human response to your inquiry about the power of the mind.......NOBODY I know or maybe NOT anyone on this planet is close enough in being INTELLIGENT enough to be awarded such a GIFT! Again rightly so.

BUT, I DO KNOW THIS FOR A FACT...if a person has Enough CERTAINTY in their Being to Accomplish a thing they WILL, and the Power Of The Mind Will Make It So.

peace out!

@success4all Nicely said, That's coming BACK to having the CERTAINTY in a thing in in your Being, and letting the Power Of The Mind Make It So...in other words.

BUT, here is where ALL get lost in how to get to the BIG CERTAINTY of a thing. And an answer to that is to know that you are NOT CERTAIN of a thing because you first have FEAR about having it, and for the simple fact that You Really like your comfort ZONE...so much that you are just willing to settle for less and play the MIND GAME pretending that You want and or are doing something about your plight...

So, to get to the REAL point of turning the tides in your Life you must let GO of the idea to pretend you are doing something for your life when in fact you are NOT, and then SHIFT your INNER ATTENTIONS to making measurable Steps to get confirming Results that your New Life EXIST and Can BE.

Remember, it serves You NOT to pretend a thing for your intent to do so will assuredly bring back to You ALWAYS the same NOTHING.

So, STOP pretending and Take Constructive Actions the things you want.

peace out!

@breakdance your very welcomed, that being my first post here makes me happy to know that I have given You and or another person some Value. I AM just glad the opportunity was here. Thanks again and look forward in seeing You around the Forum.

peace out!

Going back reading through the post I noticed that there where a lot ?'s on getting Rich. Well, here's my ? to those who want to be Rich...BUT, first before I ask my ? I want you to know that I first, am CERTAIN that Being Rich is ALL relative to who You are, for some that means having Optimum Health for others a Million Bucks in cash and so on.

So, my Intent for the ? is to none other then to get You to the Real Point of what YOU think and FEEL being Rich is? And so, What do YOU Really Think And FEEL being Rich For YOU?

And When You Find This Out With a Peace of Mind and Smiling Heart YOU will then experience The SHIFT I was talking earlier about in my last post...And when You do Realize that thing that Being Rich is for YOU then Find the VEHICLE to put your time, energy and resources into to manifest it for You...Also, realizing depending on the VEHICLE and the energy and efforts You give it depends also on it's time manifestation. So, be very discerning of what you put you efforts into and what VEHICLE you choose to MAXIMIZE the time frame of your Manifestation.

All things are a process and and follow in a step by step manner until Momentum takes over...So, start with small targets and build from there. It is also very helpful to find LEVERAGED VEHICLES to close the Manifestation gaps to Being RICH.

An Internet Marketing EXAMPLE is: Why spend the energy, efforts and resources to TRY to make $1000s of Dollars when You haven't even made a dime on the Internet...It's just NOT the INTELLIGENT Thing to DO...period.

The Better way is to Belize that as an Internet Marketer You have the Potential To MAKE You RICH, so then take One Step to make a Real effort to obtain a CERTAINTY result say $500 this month (VERY REALISTIC AND DOABLE) that will Give You the POWER to move and scale UP your Activities into BIGGER MONEY...Then and Only then will YOU BE RICH.

BUT, first get out of Being comfortable with you Life (YOU DO DESERVE BETTER). And second start over your IM journey with a MIND CONFIRMING TARGET, and GO TO IT! -It's Really Just That SIMPLE

peace out!

Some really great answers here, and I agree with 99.9%

Thank you for your input everyone

Mind power transcends no limit. Being rich is truly a state of mind that one can achieve with experience, will power, and true passion. Know what you want in life, and make money out of it. That's the fun way of getting rich!

The power of mind : Mind is nothing but the Brain,where our thoughts and imaginations have their origin..
It is in our hands to bring our thoughts and imaginations practically possible!
Which is the only way to become a rich person(Quality and Quantity)..

Oh Yeah, I believe. Remember it usually means giving up some stuff that you may not be accustom to. Over eating, sex, friendship are sometimes held as chains in our minds. We usually need to get up off the comfort zone, in order to achieve. I'm not talking about extreme make over. Everything happens in degrees. Balance is a key to success.

I think it works like this...

When you think yourself to be rich (or successful, or productive, etc.) and you believe it, the first thing that happens is your subconscious mind starts to look for "rich" opportunities without you even knowing about it. Then, as you move through your day you start to see these opportunities or people or events that you may have ignored if you believed yourself to be poor. But as a rich person, they fit right inline with your model of reality. So you take advantage of the opportunities that a rich person would take advantage of, you preform the steps that a rich person would preform, what do you think will happen? If you act like rich people act, and think like rich people think...it won't be long before you're rich!

But it all starts with belief, what can you do to make yourself truly believe that you are rich, that riches are your destiny? That's the key.

Hey Lovelylou,

There is no question the Law of Attraction exists and is constantly at work in peoples' lives. The only question is whether or not they choose to acknowledge it, work with it and live great lives or deny it, ignore it and live mediocre (or worse) lives.

Understanding quantum physics helps to explain how it all happens. It basically all boils down to energy and thoughts are energy! Here are a few videos that help explain how it all works:




Enjoy,

Ron

RM is scientifically correct I believe.
Check out the video "What the Bleep Do we (k)now?"

(I'm not plugging my product, just supplying info and I happen to carry it)

The universe is full of mysteries, that includes the mysteries of success.

Think big and get the work done. Keeping positive attitudes will keep you on track but you need the energy to get the work done.

I think that being rich means being happy and also being able to make your loved ones happy. It's no good being financially rich if you're not happy although you can suffer in comfort if you've got plenty of $$$. But money brings security and security can remove the strains and tensions from your life which goes a long way towards making me happy - so I reckon I'll keep on making money as too much of it hasn't made me unhappy yet!

The more positive your attitude is - the better you will perform. Take as many small steps as possible each day and the momentum will follow.

Hopefully you'll then become unstoppable.

Thanks for such wonderful worthy sharing. Certainly we become what we think about.

Mind power is based on conviction and persistence.

When you think that everything is too difficult, you work without enthusiasm, and this is why you stop when you meet obstacles.

When you truly believe you'll get there, you really will, because you put all your energy on your efforts. You work believing in success, and nothing can make you stop. If you fall, you stand up again, and you keep going with courage, without being dominated by negative thoughts. This is the secret behind the law of attraction.

Think and lots of action. I don't believe in law of attraction without even actions. I still didn't seem to be able to date Fergie after all.

Is your glass half empty of is it half full?
What does it mean to be rich? When I was in Asia I was considered rich, simply because I was able to travel, stay in hotels and eat in restaurants. I thought that I was not so rich because I could not stay in the ritzier hotels! Being rich is really relative t where you are and how you see yourself.
Cultivate a positive attitude and if you have a goal or a strong desire for something just go for it, there is no real secret. All that is needed is determination, visualize what you want and remove all doubt and fear.
All the very rich people I have come across all worked very hard and they were following their dream with single mindedness often to the exclusion of all else.

Louise,

I just finished reading a really good book about the subconscious mind. It's called "The Power of Your Subconscious Mind" by Joseph Murphy. You can buy it from Amazon for like $10.

Here's a few quotes from the book...

"Desire to accomplish things the easy way-with sure aid of mental science"

"There is no virtue in poverty. It is a disease of the mind, and you should heal yourself of this mental conflict or malady at once"

Repeat frequently, "I like money. I use it wisely, constructively, and judiciously. I release it with joy, and it returns a thousand fold"

Hope this helps...

Peace

Shane

I believe it whole heartily...

follow your inspired action...

thoughts become things...

have a great energy..

Tai-Chi Yoga time ...woo hoo..

I believe that when we focus on big things and believe that they can be ours, we will take action to bring them about. Focusing on our goals brings us to action toward attaining them. I believe in the Law of attraction, power of positive thinking and also gratitude. If we are grateful for the things we have now more good things will come to us. A note on positive thinking, there have been many times when I have been focusing on the negative and low and behold something bad happens. Now I try to catch myself in these negative acts. So I like to be an optimist. Life is good!

So, all in all I think mental clarity and focus are the key.

These are the things I believe.

100%. I even teach a 15 day e-course in the law of attraction with a dating edge for men.

Coaching Program

Personally, I believe that the mind is a *tool* for success. Not a means to an end.

Your brains the hammer, but you still have to strike the anvil-so to say.

What an inspirational thread, thank you so much to all of you. I was recently made redundant and needless to say big changes... I really believe it is important to be happy and grateful for what you have in life already and to take inspired action. Visualisation is a great tool also.
"There are only two ways to live your life:

One is as though nothing is a miracle.

The other is as if everything is."

Albert Einstein

The secret is simple actually - and it was most succinctly said in Proverbs 23, verse 7a:

"For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he..."

Bottom line. You Decide what you will be. You hold it firm without variance. You make a plan that moves you from where you are to where your goal is. You never, never, never, never give up in your movement to that goal.

I don't care what anyone else says - that is the only way to ultimate success. Those who seem to have the "golden touch" simply have this "system" ingrained into them so that it is automatic - they don't actually think about it, they just do it.

Those of us who need to think through each step of this "system" simply have to force ourselves to perform this type of activity until it becomes automatic - and guess what, as soon as success starts rolling in, it becomes a lot easier to make it automatic.

So to put it in modern parlance: "Know where you are going, go, and get up one more time than you get knocked down on your way there."

That is it.

Thing Big - Be Practical
If not the latter the former becomes overwhelming and hopeless.
If yes -- wonderful results.

I have to say I think that there is too much of the "Mumbo-Jumbo"-speak in the whole self-development movement. I like to go back to the masters such as Earl Nightengale and such. Now I realize that even back in the twenties there were some odd-ball theories (Master Key System anyone?) - but I think it is obvious - we are designed by our Creator with not only certain unalienable Rights, but also certain unalienable Abilities, amongst which are the ability to change our thoughts and use those thoughts mixed with our action to create a new reality for ourselves.

No magical fairy dust from the "Universal Mind Force" or whatever. Our Creator made us like Him, with the ability to create.

-DTM

Visualize your dream. Think big. Don't put yourself in a box. Once you set yourself for a goal, reach for it.

The power of your mind works both negatively and positively. In both ways, you become more observant of the things that you so believe in.
For instance: If you think most internet marketers are scam artists...they are for you b/c you will look for it and see only negative
If you think they are helpful people with good knowledge, you will take what you can learn from them and apply it to your own life.

It really is a lot about the attitude that you bring to situations.

I, personally, have been through a really really tough period lately and it got the best of me for a while, too long. I became very mean spirited to all until I finally realized that I should not dwell on the negative, but start creating some positive energy and start working on new ventures, relationships, etc.
Once my attitude of gloom disappeared, my problem didn't, but they became much much smaller.

You have 316 posts and you're a newbie?

I was a newbie when I created this thread.. which poses the question; when does someone stop being a newbie? That's always puzzled me.

Anyway, I supose my post count reflects the fact I enjoy helping people I'd hate to be around here for years and contribute almost nothing to my fellow warriors. Those leeches grate on me.

Also..

Thanks for your replies everybody, I think I should have clarified a couple of things though.. I 100% know how powerful positive thinking is.. and it's really inspiring to see so many others who also share my views.

My question was really to see how folks on here explain the mechanics of it, how it works at a nuts 'n' bolts level. Of course I have my own explaination which works for me, being a mix between psychology and quantum theory.

It's very interesting to see how people explain it in a way that works best for them (be it energy/chakras, science, psychology, God etc)

If you read Think and Grow Rich, there is a chapter on Subconscious Mind and The Brain. Extensive research went into this book by Napoleon Hill. If you have not read and studied this book, please do so. There is a qoute that says: You Become What You Think About.

It is very true that we attract what we are. This means, who are you on the inside. Your material changes in the outside world is a direct reflection of your inside world. What do you constantly think about? Good thoughts or bad thoughts? Prosperity Consciousness or Poverty Consciousness?

These are distinctive characteristics between successful people and unsuccessful people.

For me, I regard self belief as important as it lifts up the confidence and gives me the strength to overcome problems.

Hi Fran,
Great post. I have SO many friends that keeping saying their life is INSANE and financially bankrupt...they've talked about this for years and years. It's annoying to me and I wish they would change their speech. :

You do become what you think about. Instead of concentrating on debt, I keep telling them to concentrate on ways to generate income and then the debt will disappear once their energies have shifted.

You can think about how you will become rich but you must take action in order to succeed.

Success is the result of the way we think.

If you think you can, you can, If you think you can't you can't.

I have acjhieved many things, by having blind faith, and just going forward.

As long as you have a destination in mond, start your journey, and go for it.

You will reach a great point of success, and often, better than you expected.

Yes, the way we think affercts all around us, as well as attractingthe results we want.

Martin

It works because of the ability to recognise what is all around you everywhere. In other words, you see what your mind is focussed upon.

Will

Once everyone realises that it is your conscious mind that creates the thoughts that we have and we have the ability to think exactly what we want depsite what's going on around us and these thoughts are then inputed to your subconscious mind which holds the paradigms and feelings that we have and is where we are programmed to do what we do and follow the paths that we follow, it all becomes clear.
Our subconscious mind controls the "vibration" that we are in and by law, we attract what we put out.
This is not mumbo jumbo, its the secret that Napolean Hill, Earl Nightingale and bob Proctor speak about and is available to all of us, not just Gates, Branson and Buffett.

With training and supervision and by constantly feeding our subconscious minds we can change our results!

I agree with David McKee. There is really a lot of "Mumbo-Jumbo"-speak in the whole self-development movement.

It's proven that nothing works better than action!

" Thinking our self Rich " is one of the most important thing, if we want to make more money or to become rich.

Success must first be created in the mind before it can be manifested in physical reality. Successful people are successful because they think and see the world very differently. Of course, they take massive actions too.

Cheers~

Mark

Ofcoarse!!!! Act as if! Don't be scared to believe in yourself, you can do ,have and be whatever it is you desire and I am living proof. I think that we let our negative attitude cloud our judgement on where we should be in life in terms of success. Stop being a follower and step up to the plate, be a leader! Change your thinking...be positive already!

It is not so much thinking yourself rich, more thinking of what you are trying to achieve.

Don't think yourself as being wealthy, rolling around in money so to speak. Rather focus on what you would achieve with that money. Money is only a vehicle to what you desire. Ficus on what you are desiring and work towards that as your vision and goal.

Quantum physics does explain a lot about energy and matter. The videos posted by RMcIntyre give a good introduction to this. It is definitely worth looking into and quite beneficial to your success.

All these posts show the depth of feeling for the original question. I think that thinking yourself rich and actually getting there could be 2 different places. I also think that we can think too much and not end up rich at all!

I don't mean rich in the strict money sense either, we can completely over complicate things with too much thought and get nothing done and not ever have the many and varied "riches" mentioned in the various posts in the thread.

This year I am certainly going to be thinking how I can make things as simple as possible even achieving that will enrich my life!

Good luck

mbrig

thanks for these great tips.. by the way i am Millionaire

"if you think you can or you think you cant.... youre right"

This is a great thread. Everybody has pretty much covered the whole spectrum. There is a great book on the subject that I found very worthwhile reading, its called " think and grow rich" by Napaolean Hill. Not all riches lie in the wallet and the central message of the book is the minds ability to completely shape our life. Check it out

Yes, I believe in the power of mind. we have to set our mind before going ahead it works better if we give it right path and need to boost it time by time also. So always give positive to your mind for positive output.

I believe in laws of attraction. It's not really because the thoughts you send will resonance a good frequency to those around you, it's more because you are so determined that you will do everything to get it and you finally get it

Check out The Reticluar Activating System and how to use it effectively. It's very good for Accelerated Learning and at the same time plays an crucial role in the Law of Attraction.

It is not just the mind that makes you rich, it is action. Wallace Wattles said that a man (or woman) can be anything they want if they act in a certain way

What he meant by this is if you want to be something in particular, you must do what that type of person does. If you want to be a successful painter for instance...you must do what successful painters do. If you want to be a successful architect..likewise you must do what successful architects do. Mimicking the actions of the type of person you want to be ultimately leads to you being that type of person. But you have to put forth the effort, take action or it is all for nothing.

Hi,

My view is that you can't think yourself rich, if you're not going to do anything. You see, you can sit there THINKING that you'll be rich and you won't!

Rather, it is the mindset when you "think about getting rich" that you go and work hard at getting rich. That's when you will really get rich, by having the mindset + action.

Cheerrsss,
Zack

I believe thought can get you ways but without action it is completely useless. So many people spend their lives thinking about how great things could be would be BUT NEVER strive for them.

I contemplate this everyday. Nothing has materialized to date. I'm hoping.

Think and take action = Success

You can think as much as you want and visualize your self to be a huge success anybody can do that its the motivation that you need to actually act on those thoughts!!!!

For me, it is also taking baby steps for your dream, a big leap for me doesn't work much.. but taking small steps and assessing that every now then will make feel very confident on where I am heading from.

I created a collage of my dream life style and watch it everyday. I develop positive thinking. And it helps to make my life happier.

In my opinion when you're passionate about what you do you'll succeed in it. So in this way the wealth is logical result of your passion.

As my mentor is into Yoga, Meditation etc. I've started all these things plus working out and must say it really has helped me with my video tutorials at my blog... You see I really had a problem with doing videos as many others do also, but I did not mention that I do live (standing in front of the cam) , not slide with voice narrated...

Good Luck my friend... I applied Yoga, Meditation (very little), working out then I just jumped in front of the camera...

The power of the mind in amazing - and I really believe we have only scratched the surface on what it is capable of.
David I like your down to earth angle on it all but maybe I just want to believe in fairy dust, I never under estimate the power of my thoughts., (all good ones of course)

Everything always starts off as a thought...

I agree.... I try to keep my blog followers on the right mindset also.. by posting a "self empowerment" live video every once in a while...

Think positively but take action. That is all.

What the mind can conceive and believe the mind can achieve - Napoleon Hill
Get on youtube and have a look at some of these short videos by Napoleon Hill there a great inspiration!

I really believe the mindset power. Just quote an example, I always hope that my neighbor move out as their cars always block my car park lot. And my wish come true last few days.

So, if we always keep positive thinking towards our goal, I believe we will achieve it.

Actually based on my own experience, When I set something very strict on my mind, I will have a way to realize that, even It's very hard way. But as our mind say that It's the right way We will move forward. But When my mind is not having the energy to realize something, the road will be closed and I can realize what I have in mind as It's not created with the power of mind itself.

Personally I believe in God and Law of Attraction, and they had already helped me a lot.
