Your Emotional Guiding System To Wealth by Evelyn Lim

You have probably heard the saying that people are "funny" about money. This saying highlights that when it comes to money issues, lots of people get very emotional. Whether you have a lot or you have a little -- your emotions become involved when we look at our bank statments or open our checkbooks.

Did you know that your emotions can gently guide you to improved wealth for yourself and your family? Using your emotions appropriately can help you create the best opportunities to earn money and develop investments.

Listen to your emotions. Begin at the beginning and just listen to your emotions. What have your emotions been trying to tell you, that you simply have been pushing away? What are you not listening to them?

A constant state of worry over your financial situation is an indication of lack. Because your thoughts are about your lack of abundance, you emit an energy field that resonates with scarcity. According to the Law of Attraction, like energy attracts like energy. So if you are giving off negative vibes, you will continue to attract situations of not having enough. Negative states such as fear, anger and frustration also obstruct the free flow of abundance to you.

On the other hand, if you are in a state of gratitude and always happy with what you have, you emit an energy field of abundance. Because of the Law of Attraction, you attract outcomes that vibrate in the same frequency as wealth.

Respect your emotions as they arise. Some of your emotions may seem childish or trivial but they happen for a reason. They provide important clues for what you feel inside and indicate the areas that you need to work on, in order to improve your financial state.

Hence, thank your emotions for coming. Be grateful you are experiencing your emotions. There are people who bottle up their emotions for years and never experience them.

What emotions are missing? This is an important question. Are you never angry? Never afraid? Never happy? Never anxious? This is a signal, because you are most likely still avoiding experiencing your emotions and may need some help discovering them. A professional counselor can help you get in touch with your feelings. It is worth it -- you'll be leading a more authentic life. When you can do the things you are happy at and are a generally more positive person, you can find it easier to attract better outcomes.

Admittedly if you have been feeling negative for a long time, becoming positive is not going happen overnight. It takes work to release and clear your negative emotions of worry, anger and fear. Still, you will find that as you let go of them layer by layer, you will begin to feel more light and joyous. In a more positive emotional state, you are better able to attract abundance.

5 Easy Steps To Attracting Wealth And Prosperity Into Your Life by Andrew McCombe

Do you often find yourself surrounded by everything that you don't want and the more you try to remove yourself from what you don’t want, the more you seem to attract it?

Do your expenses always seem to be higher than your current income?
Are you barely surviving instead of really thriving?

The main two reasons that we do not have what we truly want in our lives is because
a) we do not know what we want and
b) we are resistant to having it.

Having more money, wealth and prosperity is often the highest priority goal of my clients and the following 5 step formula to attracting wealth, abundance and prosperity is the one that I use with every one of my clients and now you can use it to attract the wealth, abundance and prosperity that is available to you in your life (whatever that may be for you) right now…

Step one: Know what you WANT
Your subconscious mind is like a heat seeking missile, it will always hit what it is focused on. So make sure you always focus on what you want, not what you don’t want. Often the best way to know what you want is look at all the things you don’t want or don’t have and then focus on the opposites that you would rather have.

Once you have listed all the things you do want, find some actual pictures or photos of them and look at them (or imagine them in your mind) as often as you can. Your subconscious mind does not know the difference between a real and imagined event, so it will actually go about attracting the pictures in your mind into your life.

Step Two: Feel the FEELINGS you will you get when you HAVE all the things you want
It is the feelings that wealth, abundance and prosperity will give you that are the main reason you want to have wealth, abundance and prosperity in the first place. The actual, money, cars, houses, holidays etc that you have when you are wealthy, abundant and prosperous are just the vehicles to give you these feelings.

List all of the feelings you will get when you Be, Do and Have everything you ever wanted and feel them now as if you already have them.

Step Three: Remove Your RESISTANCE to Being, Doing or Having what you want
There are infinite possibilities of infinite possibilities available to you at any given moment and the only reason you do not Be, Do or Have what you truly want to Be, Do or Have now is because you are not in alignment with (or you are resistant to) these things. Resistance is simply the negative thoughts, feelings, beliefs or behaviours that you currently think, feel, believe or behave towards being, doing and having what you truly want. List all of the negative thoughts, feelings, beliefs and behaviours that you have towards wealth, money and living a prosperous life.

For example:
"I don’t deserve to be rich"
"I have to work hard to make money"
"I am not worthy of being, doing or having everything that I want to be, do or have"
"Feeling guilty about having more than others"
"Spending your money on things that are not in alignment with your dreams"
…now ask yourself some quality questions about these negative thoughts, feelings, beliefs and behaviours until you get to the underlying issue that is causing them.

Step Four: Be open to RECEIVING
By being open to receiving you are expressing your intention to the universe that you are now open to receiving all of the abundance that is rightfully yours. To do this, perform the following.
Every night before you go to bed, write down 5 things you appreciate about yourself and 5 things you appreciate about other people or situations. Remember, when you are writing this FEEL the feelings of gratitude and appreciation you have for the things you are listing.
As you know, it is the feelings that will actually begin to attract these things into your reality.

The word "appreciate" when it comes to money, means "to grow" and the same applies to anything else for that matter. The more you put your attention into the things you appreciate the more they grow in your life.

Step Five: Take the RIGHT ACTION
Taking action does not mean just doing anything. It means listening to your intuition and the ideas and instincts that you feel at any given moment and acting upon these. This is the law of RIGHT ACTION. In a nutshell you only want to take action on the things that are in alignment with your goals and when you do act, act without question and very soon (through your positive behaviours) you will have manifested your goals.

What is one positive behaviour that you can take action on immediately that will take you towards more wealth, abundance and prosperity?
It may be to perform the 5 steps mentioned above…

Alignment Tips for Manifesting Money by Gary Evans

The purpose of this article is to provide you with several ways in which you can get yourself into alignment with manifesting more money.

The first thing you need to do is realize that to manifest more money, you must feel abundant already. If you feel poor, miserable and penniless then that is what you’ll attract more of.

Feeling happy and abundant isn’t hard work at all. In fact its lot’s of fun and really very easy. It just so happens that most people have practised being miserable, poor and penniless for such a long time that it has become habitual for them.

How does having more money make you feel? Happy? Joyful? Ecstatic? Blessed? Loved?

Whatever it makes you feel, that is the feeling we need to go after, in order to manifest more money into your life. After all, if money makes you happy, then if we feel happy NOW, then you’ll already be in alignment with money and therefore manifestation can take place.

What can you do NOW, to make you feel happy? Watch a funny film? Go see your happy friend? Take a walk in the forest? Read a book?
Speak to your boyfriend/girlfriend? Take a day off work? Eat a pizza?

The above is now your work. If you want more money, and happiness is what you will feel when you get more money, then happiness is the feeling you must go after in every possible moment so that you’re in alignment with your desire.

It really is that simple.

Do whatever is necessary to get yourself there. Abundance is your birth right.

8 Proven Ways To Manifest Money Quick by Jimmy Roos

There are a number of ways that you can manifest money fast into your life. The first thing you need to understand is that there is a reason why money is not coming into your life right now. You are doing some things that repel money. So you have to change this and start doing the things that will manifest money quick into your life.

#1 Be grateful for what you already have
I'm sure you have already heard this one. Be grateful for what you already have, not only money and you'll automatically attract more of it to yourself.

#2 Decide on a specific amount and timeframe
One of the principles of a successful manifestation is that you be clear on what exactly it is you want. In this instance you want to manifest money fast, so decide exactly how much you want, and when you want it. Write it down on a piece of paper and put the paper where you can see it.

Read what you wrote on the paper out aloud every morning and night at least 3 times.

The way that you write it should be in the present moment. For example if the amount you want is $10 000 and you want it by the end of the month, you should say "I have $10 000 in my bank account by month end."

Don't be over ambitious with the amount you pick. This is because your mind may have difficulty believing you if the amount is too big. So rather pick an amount that you are comfortable with, even if it is not the exact amount you need. You need your mind to support you, not sabotage you.

#3 Imagine money coming into your life
Once you have become clear on what you want and when exactly you want it, start seeing it clearly in your mind's eye. Not only see it but feel it.

Ask yourself this magic question.

"What if, I already had this amount of money? How would I feel?" and FEEL IT!

"What if, I already had this amount of money? Where would I be, and what would I be doing?" and SEE YOURSELF DOING THAT THING with whoever and wherever it may be!

#4 Be Joyful
Be joyful where you are. Having fun is a sure way to manifest money quick. When you are having fun, you forget about the fact that you "urgently need money" and before you know it, the money will be there or you'll manifest an opportunity that will lead you to the money. Either way, it is important to have fun.

#5 Pay your bills with pleasure
Most people who want to manifest money fast have huge bills and no money. Whenever they think of the bills they cringe. Just the thought of having to use the last money on bills makes people depressed. This is something you definitely want to change if you want to manifest money quick.

#6 Give money away
In order to attract anything you want, you have to first give it away. Remember the law of giving and receiving? But how can you give money away if you don't have any? A good way to do this is with million dollar bills. These bills can be bought all over the Internet, including on Ebay. They have a great energy to them and will help you manifest money fast.

#7 Help others
If you don't have a dime to your name, there is still something you can do. You can offer your knowledge and your time to help out others who may need it. You never know who you may be helping and where that may lead to.

#8 Take inspired action
Become aware of the prompting from your subconscious and follow whatever suggestions you receive. Your subconscious is connected to all knowledge and by following it's suggestions you are sure to hit the bulls' eye.

Follow the above mentioned suggestions and you'll find opportunities that will lead you to the money you need or you will miraculously manifest money quick.

3 Tips To Manifest More Money Today by Gary Evans

Here are three simple yet effective tips that will help you to start manifesting more money into your life. Like anything that you want, the trick is to get into alignment with what you want. These three processes are just ways in which you can do that with money.

Pick Up The Penny – How many times have you seen a penny on the floor, but instead of picking it up, you just left it lying there? All alone and by itself. The next time you see a penny or any coin on the floor, grab it and say thank you for the gift the universe has graciously given you.

You're probably thinking this is going to be a waste of time, but let me ask you something... what message are you sending out when you leave that penny on the floor? “No thanks universe, I'm okay today”. The more you send out that feeling that you don't want the money, the more you're going to attract it.

Stop every single time you see a penny, regardless of the circumstances and grab that penny for yourself. Say thank you to the universe for giving it to you feel the feelings of having a little more abundance in your life. Seeing penny's on the street is also a great sign that you're on the right track for receiving more money! So, if you can't feel abundance when you pick up that penny, see it as a sign and feel grateful for the sign that money is on the way.

Don't Nickel & Dime Him – The next time you see a beggar on the street and feel inclined to give him some of your money, don't reach for the notes and then think “oh actually – I better just give some change, I need these notes for later”. That is no way to receive more abundance.

Give him the notes like you first intended. Most people have the thought that they're going to give some of their notes to the guy on the street corner, as they move closer they change their mind and think about giving some coin change instead.

By the time they've scrounged around in their pocket trying to find something to give, they've already walked straight passed the homeless person and haven't given anything at all. Don't be one of these people. If you want to create abundance for yourself, give in abundance to others.

Love Yourself – How are you going to go about receiving more abundance if you don't love yourself or feel you're worthy? Stand in front of a mirror, face to face with yourself. Say the following out loud “I love you so much”. At first it may not feel quite right and you probably won't believe it, but continue to do this for a few days and you'll soon realize that you're actually beginning to believe it.

The more love you have for yourself, the more abundance you will receive. The more abundance you receive the more love and abundance you can give to others.

You can't knock it until you've tried it.

Can You Get Rich By Just Asking The Following 7 Questions? by Mohamad Latiff

1. Why am I so rich?
2. How am I so rich?
3. How did I get so rich?
4. How can I be even richer?
5. What is it like being so rich?
6. What makes me so rich?
7. What can make me even richer?

Honestly, I don’t know. Getting rich depends on any number of factors. Asking questions or changing your mindset is not the sole determining factor of your future wealth. Action must be the next logical step.

Which is why the above set of questions have that ‘perfect’ combination of both ‘thinking as if you already have what you want’ and ‘being biased towards action’.

Of course, the 7 questions above are too general and simplistic. But let’s look at each one and its specific purpose.

1. Why am I so rich?

You have to be a little open-minded when you ask this question, especially if you’re not exactly cash-rich. Thankfully for many people, cash is not the only measure of wealth. You can be rich in other ways - rich with ideas, rich with love, rich with compassion, rich with vitality, rich with life, rich with joy, ad infinitum.

But even if you are in a financially challenging circumstance and your mindset is naturally on ’survival’ rather than ‘wishful and positive’ mode, asking this question can start to get your mind to think in a different, possibly more empowering way.

Try it!

Try asking this question as opposed to simply stating, “I am rich”.

2. How am I so rich?

This question is designed to get your ‘reticular activating system’ (the 3 favourite words of any Tony Robbins fan) - the part of your brain that searches out things in your environment that matches or corresponds to what you are focusing on in your mind - to pick and choose those things in your life that can somehow reinforce the idea or notion that you really are rich - in your own unique way.

3. How did I get so rich?

How did you get this way? How exactly did you end up being wherever you are right now? Were there any positive habits or empowering behaviours that you were engaged in - either consciously or unconsciously - that led you to this place in your life?

Or if you feel that your current place in life is not really as desirable as you would like it to be, then, first focus only on those things or factors in your life that are desirable to you. What are you grateful for? What can you be appreciative for?

Once you’ve found what you can be grateful for, ask yourself - how did you get this way? What exactly did you do, or what path have you tread that led you to what you are now grateful for?

4. How can I be even richer?

Now this is where you graduate from being grateful for everything that you can be grateful for in this moment, to doing that which will take you to even more things that you can be even more grateful for.

The motive of these questions is to get the most suitable answers for you, but these answers may not come immediately, and any answers that may come initially may not be the most perfect ones for you. This is why you should never stop asking these empowering questions.

5. What is it like being so rich?

Here you get yourself to appreciate the joy, exhilaration, freedom or whatever emotions you enjoy feeling as you live the experience of being rich - either now (if you already are rich) or in your ideal future (if you are moving towards it).

6. What makes me so rich?

This question may seem similar to questions 2 (How am I so rich?) and 3 (How did I get so rich?). But use this question to identify the external factors or opportunities that you had capitalised on to get to where you are now.

7. What can make me even richer?

What strengths do you have, or opportunities are you faced with, that can potentially lead you to creating more wealth in your life? What weaknesses do you have, or threats do you see, that you can somehow capitalise on to do the same?

These questions need not be limited to the purpose of getting rich only, the 7 questions can be applied to almost anything you want to change in your life. Here’s an example -

Let’s say you want to get luckier. The 7 questions to ask yourself to get luckier are -
1. Why am I so lucky?
2. How am I so lucky?
3. How did I get so lucky?
4. How can I get even luckier?
5. What is it like being so lucky?
6. What makes me so lucky?
7. What can make me even luckier?

Or let’s say you want to be more confident and attractive. The questions might be -

1. Why are people so easily attracted to me? Is it my confidence?
2. How am I so attractive and confident?
3. How did I get so confident and attractive?
4. How can I get even more confident and attractive?
5. What is it like being so confident and attractive, and having people easily attracted to me?
6. What makes me so confident and attractive?
7. What can make me even more confident and attractive?

You can use the template of the above 7 questions to alter any perception or perspective you hold of yourself!

i believe being "rich" and being "wealthy" are 2 very different concepts..

i suppose, like most people, i'd loosely term the word "rich" to mean "wealthy"..but they are really quite dissimilar...

to become rich, imo, involves living fuller lives; one that includes not just monetary wealth but intensity in experiences in many facets of living, which may not necessarily be derived from using money..

the best is of cos...rich and wealthy...siang song liao...

Loving Money Attracts More Of It Into Your Life by Enoch Tan

To be in vibrational resonance with money, you have to love it. If you fear money or do not love it, you will repel it away from you. By thinking thoughts such as you should not love money or feel desire for it, you are causing vibrational dissonance between your subconscious mind and money. By loving money and being comfortable around it like it is your good friend, you free yourself to have money and have it more abundantly.

We have been taught that the love of money is the root of all evil. Therefore we think that it is wrong to love money. But that is one of the biggest errors the world has ever made about understanding money. The truth is, the love of money is not evil. It is only the root of evil. The love of anything can be the root of evil. People have done all kinds of evil for love. Love is not evil. It is when people love with ignorance that results in evil. Loving with awareness only results in good.

When you love money, it can be the root of all good or all evil. Remember that all truth are half truths. The glass can be half empty or half full. One perspective is only half the truth. When you can see things one way as well as the opposite, you have full perspective and total truth. When you love money, that love is the root that can grow into that which is good or evil. Loving money with awareness leads to all good whereas loving money with ignorance leads to all evil.

Observe of the way you behave around money. Notice your thoughts and feelings when you are dealing with it. Do you try to handle it discreetly as though you are almost ashamed of it? Do you find it awkward when you talk about any subject that involves money? Do you try to think as little about it as possible as you quickly pass it to the person you are buying something from, or taking it and putting it away hurriedly as if the longer it stays in sight, the more unacceptable it feels?

All of such behaviors and attitudes shows how you really are towards money. You have an unconscious dislike towards money. You may have all the conscious thoughts about how good it is to have money and believing that you are wealthy, but if you are acting like this towards money, you are creating resistance which prevents money from flowing freely to you. This awareness will open your eyes to your relationship with money and free you from unwittingly repelling it.

Wealth is a state of being. Having wealth begins with being wealth. When you are wealth, you are one with everything that is wealth. To be one with something is to love it, accept it, embrace it and be completely comfortable with it. Money being a form of energy that facilitates enjoyment and providence is a form of wealth. Therefore to be wealth is to be one with money and to love it, accept it, embrace it and be completely comfortable with it. Money moves to the one who loves it the most!

Take out some bills from your wallet and hold it in your hands. Look at it and just be with it. Say to yourself that you love money and money loves you. Feel good about it and feel the love for it. Do the same with your credit cards, your jewelries, your checks, your back account statement, and things that represent money. See all these things not as separated from you, but they are all extensions of your being. The more you love money and are at one with it, the more you attract it into your life.

Treat money with respect and appreciation. When you pass money to someone, do not just chuck it in their hands as if it were a bunch of papers. Hand it over to them as though you were presenting a sword with both hands to a worthy knight. When you receive money, do not take it as though you were grabbing a bunch of dirt and putting it away as if you are trying to get rid of it as quickly as possible. Take your money with appreciation and handle it comfortably as though it is your favorite pen.

Anytime you see money come into your life such as when you see commissions from sales or gifts from people, love it, welcome it and feel that it loves coming to you. Have the attitude that people love to give money for what you have to offer, and share it willingly and happily with you. Anytime you spend money to get what you desire, do it happily and willingly. Whenever you give money to loved ones or charity, handle your money comfortably and give it as though you are giving your love.

Loving money unites you with it. Fearing money separates you from it. We have an unconscious fear for something when we keep distancing ourselves from it and see it as separate from us. We have an unconscious love for something when we keep being near or around it and see it as a part of us. Allow yourself to identify with money and see your money as you. But when money goes away from you, do not think of yourself as any lesser because to love perfectly is to love freely without attachment.

Love material things in the material world as well. Love your house, your car, your toys, your clothes, your looks, your body and all your material possessions. Feel good about them and see them as all extensions of yourself. Be unashamed to show your money or your material possessions to others. In heaven everyone shows off the beauties of their creation to one another proudly and joyfully. Material things and spiritual things are the same because they are all energy of the source which is God.

People who see themselves as good but see money as evil repel money away from them. People who see themselves as evil but see money as meant for good people, repel money. People who see themselves as good and see money as good attract money to themselves. People who see themselves as evil and see money as evil also attract money to themselves. It is all about being in vibrational resonance by seeing you and money are of the same kind which draws it to you.

How To Develop The "Wealth Mindset" -- Secrets of The Rich by Kent Sayre

In this article, I’m going to explain to you how to achieve the mindset of wealth. For people who have this mindset, they can create money out of thin air and basically at will. For people lacking this mindset, they won’t enjoy the same level of financial abundance that they possibly could.

Here are the 7 hot tips on how to develop a wealth mindset:

Believe that you deserve wealth. You have to believe that you deserve it. If you don’t believe, you will overlook untold opportunities. If you don’t believe you deserve wealth, you will sabotage your own efforts. If you’re wanting to attract wealth but don’t believe you deserve it, it’s like driving a car pressing both the gas and the brake at the same time. It doesn’t work.

Develop an “opportunity consciousness.” Look around and begin to ask yourself, “How can I add more value? How can I make things faster, easier, quicker, less hassle, more fun for people? How can I make money solving this challenge? What can I do to solve this problem and make money doing it?” The bigger the problem you solve, the more wealth will pour into your life. The more you serve others, the more wealth you will achieve.

Organize your life to matter more to others. The more you make your time and life valuable to others, the more wealth you will have. Period. End of story. Organize your life to matter more. Develop more valuable skills, network more with high achievers, and focus on serving people.

Begin to think in terms of passive income. Develop passive income as soon as possible. Passive income is something you do once and get paid multiple times for it. It’s the real secret of the rich. If you are always selling your time in exchange for money, your income is limited because your time is limited. I cannot emphasize the importance of passive income enough.

Visualize wealth. Visualize yourself making lots of money (or whatever the definition of wealth is for you). Visualize total financial abundance flowing toward you. There really is total abundance. You can tap into it. It’s there for the taking.

Cancel out negative thoughts. Vigilantly guard your mind as to what kind of ideas you put into it. If you put garbage into your mind, you’ll get garbage results. If you have great ideas, you’ll get great results. Monitor your internal dialogue and monitor what other people are saying to you, especially regarding money matters, finances, and wealth. If they’re dead broke, run away as fast as you possibly can. If they’re mega-wealthy, pay attention and hang on their every word!

Think about money as energy. When you pay out or receive money, it’s really a measure of the value of the energy you’re exchanging. If you’re getting $20.00 an hour, you’re saying that the energy you’re putting out to create the value that you’re creating is worth $20.00 an hour. If you want to make more, figure out how to raise your energy that you’re putting out and how to deliver more value to others in the same time.

There you have it my friend. Using these white-hot tips, I’ve been able to double my already substantial income. You can do the same. Wealth doesn’t discriminate. It wants you as much as you want it. Just get out there, use these tips, and attract that total abundance into your life.

You can do it because you are unstoppable!
