Riches Start in Your Mind

Want to have a never ending supply of money flowing towards you everyday?
You know where it all starts don't you?

That's right - in your own mind.

Practically every financial planning and personal finance book you'll ever read advises you to start an emergency savings fund, to meet unexpected financial emergencies, as one of the first steps in building wealth.

If you truly want to be wealthy, this is just about the worst financial advice you could follow.

In an article, titled "The Constructive Attitude", Wallace D. Wattles, best known for his classic masterpiece "The Science of Getting Rich", said this on the subject:

"… do not lay up for a rainy day. If you live right, think right, and work right, there will never be a rainy day for you. If you lay up for a rainy day, you will impress the sub-conscious with the fear of a rainy day; with the idea of weakness and incompetence, and so you will cause the rainy day to come."

Does this mean you shouldn't keep any extra money at all?

Absolutely not…

In the same article, he said this:

"… provide a surplus, so that you may take advantage of any new opportunity…"

There's a Creative Power within you that makes your life into the exact image of that to which you focus your attention.

If you focus your attention on financial emergencies, by saving for them, that's exactly what you'll have in your life… financial emergencies.

On the other hand…

If you focus your attention on financial opportunities, by providing for them, that's exactly what you'll have in your life… financial opportunities!"

Riches truly are a mindset - focus on them to the exclusion of everything else - and you shall have them.

As Napoleon Hill said, "Keep your mind on the things you want and off the things you don't want."
