What is money? I would say that it is an absolute myth, an illusion or a mirage which makes us run after her. In that process we tend to compromise with our peace of mind, our relationships, even our love. But those who are really making money, who are super rich make money run after them. These people understand that money is the by product of the services that we offer, the value we add. So they focus on what they have to deliver. Also being creative in that approach, they tend to add uniqueness to their products and services. Anything unique catches human attention. So people go for them. And in return they pay for them. Thus the money comes.
When we look at the entire money making process with this approach and start working on them, money invariably flows in.
Now the question arises, how to develop this approach; get this philosophy ingrained into our minds? The answer is using money affirmations. Positive thoughts of attracting money in your life, will make the Law of Attraction work for you. You'll start getting ideas and opportunities to make money.
In addition you can also use the wealth mantras chanting or listening to them. These are unique combination of words praising God and Goddess of wealth as per eastern philosophy, producing specific vibrations that help you to attract money in your life.

  • Vikram,

    What ever one places his attention upon that thing will change and often it increases.

    So it is with money as with anything else. Focused attention upon the object of desire often brings the object effortlessly to us.

      Money is simply a placeholder for wealth.

      first I grow corn, then I can trade the corn for chickens.

      But what if I don't want chickens? I can trade my corn for money (sell) and then use the money to trade for what I want, later on (buy).

      Money is real, money exists, and money is a tangible measurement of how much "stuff" (goods or services) you have provided that other people wanted.

      Most people think ONLY in terms of "getting more money."

      But as you said, those who are richest know that the TRUE FOCUS, or as you might say, your true purpose in life, is to find out what other want or need, and are willing to pay for.

      Then make it, or help somebody make it and sell it to them.

      The massive advances in society have come from people thinking up new ways to provide goods and services to others in exchange for money, so they in turn could buy goods and services from others.

      It's a massive self-perpetuating loop of increasing world wealth and success and improvement, and MONEY is central to its success.

      Absolutely well said. Attention and focus are the primary drivers to attract the things that you want to have in your life.

    Paper money is a real literal thing. It is a tool. For fiat money, the value that we give it is representative of an idea. Perhaps it is a myth that money has real value, other than the value that we assign to it. Who believes that fiat money has any real value though, other than the representative value we assign it?

    Yes your concept of what money is, and your relationship with money to your life, for almost everyone needs conscious work to move toward concepts and relationships that serve you instead of move you in the wrong direction.

    The greatest value in money is that it buys time. The pursuit of happiness takes time. The more money you have, the more time you can spend on your pursuit.

      I agree with your point. Money offers you the flexibility to use your time. Naturally one would like to spend his/her time to gather moments of happiness.
      Actually if you see, the whole race for making money is to have more and more ways to be happy

    Sounds like that is wise advice. Whatever we think about the most is what will come into our lives. By saying affirmations or preferably proclamations we will start the process of getting what we desire most.

    only a small percentage of the money in the world today is paper. most of the money people think they have is in bank accounts ..in other digital representations ..


    those in the thread who where in india.. the last so many month ..what was the effect on people when the money they had in their pockets yesterday ..was hitting new lows in value today .

    The value of the Us dollar is based on the trust in the Us government ..a trust that right now is hitting new historic lows .


    i agree we must do things of value .. and constantly make ourselvs more valuable .

    but it is also important to store your value in a way you can protect or even get a return .

    holding it in money .or gold ..or anything that the value is far beyond your influence ..is not the best for anyone today .

    money is a currency ..or a medium of exchange .

    very few people get really rich piling money up in a bank account .

    they make money and invest it back in to grow their company..then when their company is big enough they buy other companies or invest in newer companies .

    cash reserves are need but they are not there for a rainy day ..they are usually held while looking for a big opportunity for return

      Money and currency are two different things. Related, but different.

      Money is an idea backed by confidence.

      Currency is the physical representation of money.

      If the idea has no confidence behind it, the physical representation has no value.

      Those who study currency values know the long term value of any currency is 0. Why? Because the confidence behind the idea fails.

      Is money a myth? Well it is an idea. The value of that idea comes from the collective confidence a society has in it. That confidence can vanish in a flash, as when the stock market crashes...and it can bounce back, too.

    Money is an 'energy' that flow to and through you. It is not mean't to be horded. It is mean't for us to share with our brothers (and sisters).

    If you are tight with it, it becomes tight with you based on how you feel about it.

    If you save for a rainy day, that rainy day will surely come (I don't mean that we shouldn't have any savings, just not plan for rainy days).

    Most people (in this industry right now) have negative thoughts about money. Most of us have had some experience that we gave wrong meaning to like ...

    Let's say that when we were little we saw mommy and daddy fighting over money.

    Mommy lost her purse with a thousand dollars in it and daddy was furious.

    So we thought that money was evil because it made mommy cry.

    What we didn't realize was that daddy was more furious with the idea that mommy kept losing her things...her glasses, her keys, her lipstick ETC.

    And by that time daddy lost it with her!

    We observed this as a little child and gave it our OWN meaning based on what we thought was going on.

    So if you have any limiting beliefs holding you back regarding money, chanting affirmations to yourself will not always work.

    You have to 'clear' the problem.

    There is a book by Joe Vitale that helped me out a lot. It is called "The Key".

    If you read it and go through the 'clearing' exercises, you may start laughing at the silly stupid little things that could get lodged in your conscious mind.

    Here is a video by Joe explaining how this works:

    It's a powerful belief to think money is attracted to you, that it chases you. Opens the doors for all sorts of creativity and all you need to do is express yourself. Because money will delight in all you do and come running.

      Money today is mostly psychological… just numbers or points accumulating on a scorecard. You mostly get these points by selling something… could be your time, or something you create, or something that you have others create for you.

      But since our money is no longer backed by gold and silver it’s value is psychological, dependant on the value that people perceive it to be. And that can change like the wind. It can be valuable today and nearly worthless tomorrow.

      Real value is in the hands of people… not a piece of paper or numbers on a scorecard. Even Gold and Silver are worthless if there is no food to buy with it. You can’t eat money. So use it as the tool it was designed to be but always remember, real value is in what you are and what you do with your talents.

      Frank Zappa said…. “Art is making something out of nothing and selling it”. But the world is full of good artists who are starving… while far less talented and productive people are making a killing because they have mastered marketing and sales.

      Cheers,

      Steve

      PS... If you've been using affirmations for years without much results to show for practising your mantra's.... then maybe you should switch to using "Afformations" instead.

    who are super rich make money run after them. These people understand that money is the by product of the services that we offer, the value we add. So they focus on what they have to deliver.

    -- i couldn't agree more. It has to start from passion, from loving what you do, keeping everything at its best. If people see you are offering something significant, they will come to you.
