It seems that some people are naturally positive and others are much more negative. Even in the same family, there are some members who usually see the good side of things and others in the family that just think that the worst thing will happen in everything they do. And then there are those who are a balance of both. At times they are very positive, then without even knowing why, they are extremely negative. And then there are those that, upon meeting new people, will spend some time evaluating the other person before settling on a positive or negative stance (this is often subconscious).

Have you ever been with someone who is very negative and suddenly you find yourself being very negative too. It is very easy to fall into that trap, and takes some little adjustments to mind and will to get on top of this insidious mindset.

Being negative or positive is a choice, always choose to look for the good in any situation or person, as there is always good there if you look hard enough for it.  Remember you possess the power of your own mind to be either positive by the effort of the will, and it is also true that you are able to allow yourself to fall into a low, negative state by choice of a weak will. Many more people live in this mindset, however, a positive thought vibration is much more powerful than a negative one and therefore helps to create balance.

The fact that we can raise our mental levels is one of the secrets of the autosuggestions and affirmations community.  While there is no merit in affirmations, however, they do tend to raise the mental vibration (or thought vibration, or mindset), plus they also help to establish new mental attitudes and mindsets in us.

Affirmations are not new; we do them all the time. When we say things like, “I can’t do such and such” or “I’m too whatever”, we are making affirmations. Those affirmations are creating thought vibrations that bring about what we are continually affirming. We should never allow ourselves to be drawn into other people’s mindsets, especially those with negative mindsets. If we can raise ourselves to higher thoughts, then we will change our lives bit by bit. As we do this over time, we will just naturally gravitate to more positive minded friends and create more positive conditions and circumstances happening regularly in our lives.

The more we recognise the words we are saying and change our minds which in turn will change our words, we will see our world change before our eyes and we will be more immune to the negative happenings that occur more than we could ever want.

Yes, we can control our mindset and the sooner we do this, the more our life will reflect the life we have always wanted to live. Don’t ever give up on your own personal growth and by watching or evaluating our words is the beginning of our new and exciting life.

Our world is ruled by universal law.  We have heard this before, but we are totally unaware of certain aspects of it. Things are becoming clearer over time as more people are learning about it and becoming interested in the Law of attraction, possible due to the release of the movie “The Secret”.

While we know a lot about the law of gravity, yet we just are so unaware of the law of attraction and it is equally valid and works just as sure as the law of gravity.

We acknowledge the law that holds all the atoms of matter together, or the law that attracts bodies to the earth, or that keeps the universe working as precisely as it does, yet we totally discount the law of attraction that attracts the things we desire or fear to us.

It is scientific fact that our thoughts are actually a force, or a manifestation of energy which has a magnetic power to attract what we are thinking about whether they are something we strongly desire, or strongly fear.

The vibrations that our thoughts send out are as real as the vibrations that manifest light, electricity, magnetism and light, yet these vibrations are not noticed or acknowledged by our five senses. The fact that these vibrations are not picked up by our five senses is absolutely no proof that these vibrations do not exist. They do, and we know they do, however, we just don’t see, smell, taste, feel or hear them. We know that magnets are powerful and they send out vibrations that will either attract a piece of metal, or repel it by the same vibration. The thought vibrations are the same yet we cannot see, taste, feel, smell or hear them either.

Have you ever felt “bad vibes” or “good vibes” when entering a new place or going somewhere different or even meeting someone? Some people are more sensitive to this than others and can actually “read” psychic impressions about a person or place. Or have you ever felt that something was wrong with someone even though they were a long distance away? And you found out that your feelings were correct? Phenomena like this and even telepathy are facts and not just imaginings by mentally challenged people.

Actually heat and light are the result of vibrations far lower in intensity than thought vibrations, the difference being in the rate of vibration.

Here is where science can reveal some interesting facts regarding this subject. Here’s a quote from Professor Elisha Gray who was a very eminent scientist, in his booklet, “The Miracles of Nature”.

Quote – “There is much food for speculation in the thought that there exist sound-waves that no human ear can hear, and color-waves of light that no eye can see. The long, dark, soundless space between 40,000 and 400,000,000,000,000 vibrations per second, and the infinity of range beyond 700,000,000,000,000 vibrations per second, where light ceases, in the universe of motion, makes it possible to indulge in speculation.”

Another quote – “There is no gradation between the most rapid undulations or tremblings that produce our sensation of sound, and the slowest of those which give rise to our sensations of gentlest warmth. There is a huge gap between them, wide enough to include another world of motion, all lying between our world of sound and our world of heat and light; and there is no good reason whatever for supposing that matter is incapable of such intermediate activity, or that such activity may not give rise to intermediate sensations, provided there are organs for taking up and sensifying their movements.” By M.M.Williams

The fact that thought waves exist is not necessary to prove anymore as it is pretty well accepted universally, however, the above quotes may wet your appetite for more and help you to learn more about the law of attraction as well as other universal laws for your own success and happiness as well as those around you.

There is no such thing as failure. The outcome of everything is only results. Most people have been programmed to fear failure. Because of this fear of failure, many people impose limitations on themselves by thinking certain things can’t be done or is beyond them thus not doing anything to be successful.

On the other hand, the wealthy and successful people don’t see failure as failure. Successful people know that if they try something and it does not give them what they want, they have had a learning experience, not failure. With the earlier experience, they then take new actions and get new results until they are successful.

There must be a commitment to succeed. The wealthy and the successful believe in the power of commitment. They believe that there will be no great success without commitment. If there is no commitment in whatever one does, then how one be able to work on it until it is successful?

Take responsibilities. This is a great attribute the wealthy and successful people have in common. They operate from the belief that they are the ones who create their own world and their own destinies. They know that no one owes them a living. They will say, I am responsible for myself and whatever I do. So they do not shirk responsibilities.

Wealthy and successful people believe that no matter what happened, they have created that outcome. If you do not believe you are creating your own world, then you are at the mercy of circumstances. You are then living your life based on chance and it will always be a roller coaster ride, usually downwards.

Everything happens for a reason and a purpose and it serves us. Successful and wealthy people are able to focus on what is possible in any situation and what possible positive results that can arise from that situation. No matter how grave the situations are they only think of positive possibilities. They think that everything happens for a reason and it serves them. They believe that every adversity contains an equivalent or even greater benefit.

People are their greatest resource. They have a tremendous sense of respect and appreciation for people. They have a sense of common purpose and unity and thus relish in teamwork. They believe that there is no long lasting success without cooperation and team bonding with a similar purpose. Their success reflects the amazing things that can be achieved when we respect each other rather than manipulating one another.

So what is the fundamental foundation to attract money and wealth? It is your thinking and mindset that will set the stage for attracting money. So in order to be able to attract money naturally, you must learn how to use mindset to attract money.

You need to train your mind into believing that you already have what you wanted, and then your life will miraculously change to reflect your new belief. The following attracting money mindset tips may sound like mumbo jumbo hocus pocus to you, but they are common refrains from great money making gurus. They constantly repeat these 5 tips to train their mind to attract wealth and money.

Tip 1 – Act and behave like you are already rich.You must act and believe you have always wanted is already yours. In this instance, it is money. So act as if you already have the money you wish to have. Ask yourself, if I am already rich, what would I do, how would I act, how would I feel, and then act, feel and do it.

By behaving and acting rich, you are teaching your mind that you are expanding your limitations, and as you practice this you will begin to purchase more of the things you want in your life and the money will come to you to pay for them. Want to be rich, then do this. This is the law of the universe.

Tip 2 – Be thankful and show gratitude for any money you receive. To attract money, you must show gratitude for the money which is already in your life. Instead of complaining how little money you have, be grateful that you already have money and will have more and give thanks to God or whatever greater power you believe in.

The next time when you get some money, instead of barely noticing it, take a few moments to give thanks to the universe or God for bringing this money into your wallet or bank account. Every time you receive your paycheck or every time you earned some money do stop and appreciate the fact that money is flowing into your life. By being grateful for money flowing to you, more money will be attracted to you.

Tip 3 – Find a dime on the sidewalk, keep it. In order to attract money into your life, your subconscious mind must be open to the idea of money flowing to you. You must be open and receptive to any money coming to you from any moral source. If you see a dime on the street, and your usual reaction is probably to ignore it. By doing that, you are teaching your subconscious mind that you are not willing to put out effort for money.

Your subconscious mind cannot distinguish between a dime and a million bucks. All that your mind registers is how you feel and that thought will be stashed somewhere in your subconscious mind that you do not want to attract money.

This mindset can also come in many other forms such as whenever you do not accept a gift or do not charge someone for work done or charge them way less than you should be or you sell a product for less than it is worth, you are creating the same emotions. So if you want to attract money, you must accept the money that is rightfully yours including that dime on the street.

Tip 4 – Be open to money making opportunities
Ask yourself this question. Why it is rich people always have money making opportunities and that you don’t? The answer is that you are simply not looking for opportunities hard enough or when opportunities come along, you are too lazy to take them or are even skeptical.

The difference between rich and poor people is that rich people realize that new opportunities are always all around them. You simply need to keep a look out for the opportunities, keep an open mind, and be prepared to take advantage when the opportunity comes knocking and do open the door when opportunities knock. In this way, you will attract wealth and money naturally.

Someone once said, luck is when opportunity meets preparation. If you want to find money making opportunities in your life then you must be prepared to take advantage of them when they come. By doing so, you will be blessed with more incredible luck than you have ever experienced. Still skeptical? If you are, then you will hardly have any money making opportunies.

Tip 5 – Do something that makes you feel good
Do something that makes you feel good? I can hear you say that I don’t have to tell you this. Everyone also wants to do things that make them feel good. When you feel good, your energy and mood rises, you will feel optimistic and positive and these attitudes will attract more of the things into your life which make you feel good such as money and wealth.

Now that you know the mindset on how to attract wealth and money, keep these money making mindset tips in your mind and act on them daily. After a few weeks or months, just sit back and watch more and more money flowing to you.

I start off with this famous quote by one of the richest man in the world Warren Buffett, the legendary multi billionaire who accumulated his wealth solely through investments. How would you like to be in control of your life and the results you create? To be able to change the people around you, the results you produce and even how you feel? Sounds too good to be true? Certainly not.

Most people blame their external circumstances for everything that does not go their way. They tend to attribute their failure to reasons like ‘The economy has been down’, ‘Luck has been cruel on me’, ‘My boss doesn’t like me’. However, the truth is, in order to succeed, you have got to take absolute responsibility for whatever happens. Only when you take full responsibility for whatever happens will you have the ability to change it. This is the secret to putting yourself into a position of absolute power. Therefore, stick by this motto: The extent to which you take responsibility over something is the extent to which you have control over it.

Therefore, ask yourself this question now ‘What is the reason you are not rich yet?’ If your reasons are something like ‘I’ve got no time’, ‘I’ve got no luck’, its time to change your mindset. You see, there are two kind of mindsets people can adopt. The first is the ‘Victim’s Mindset’. People with this mindset will give excuses whenever they fail. They tend to blame everyone or anything else except for themselves. They give excuses like ‘If only I have more time’, ‘If only my wife can be more understanding’. Therefore, they are often in a position of helplessness and they are not in control of whatever happens in their life.

So, since adopting the victim’s mindset is indeed detrimental to one’s success, why do so many people still choose to adopt it? The reason is because playing victim makes one feel good. Sure enough, whenever you are complaining about someone or something else, you tend to win a lot of sympathy. Similarly, complaining will also justify your failure and make you feel better. However, what people don’t realize is that it also robs ourselves of the power to take charge and change our destiny.

Thus, what kind of mindset should one adopt? And what is the mindset that the most successful people adopt? The answer is, the ‘Winner’s Mindset’. People who adopt this mindset take absolute responsibility for all that happens in their life. Therefore, they are in control of their results and success. They believe that they create their wealth and success and hence they can change it. When things do not go their way, they do not blame their bosses or on the lack of luck Rather, they remain empowered and positive even in the most dire of circumstances and they seek ways to improve the circumstances.

Hence, always remember this important lesson: ‘For things to change, I must change first!’. The moment you acknowledge the fact that you create your fortune, it means you have given yourself power to take charge and start becoming rich now! When you go on to learn the strategies of wealth creation, you will learn you can indeed be rich at any age or with as little educational or financial background.
