Wealth File 6 - Millionaires Mindset
Welcome to another Wealth File Lesson!
Here is a short introduction for those who’ve just joined my series:
I’m reading the book “Secrets of the Millionaire Mind” by T. Harv Eker. He has found out 17 ways of thinking and of taking action, which are essential if we want to get really successful and wealthy. He calls these ways of thinking “Wealth Files”. Throughout my journey to a Millionaires Mindset I’m sharing these Wealth Files with you.
Wealth File #6:
“Rich people admire other rich and successful people.”
“Poor people resent reich and successful people.”
We must not look at other people’s success with resentment, jealousy and envy.
“You have to realize that if you view rich people as bad in any way, and you want to be a good person, then you can never be rich. Because how can you be something you despise?”
Negative thoughts of any kind are not good for our mind, they won’t lead to happiness and success. We do need to recognize that negative thinking is not empowering to ourselves or others. When having such negative thoughts, then quickly take control of your mind and refocus on more supportive thoughts.
Many people have been conditioned since their childhood to believe that you can’t be rich and a good person or rich and a spiritual. Many of us have been told that all rich people are bad, dishonest and greedy. That’s not at all true, there are honest and also dishonest people in all kind of social classes.
“If you resent what people have, in any way, shape, or form, you can never have it yourself.”
Millionaire Mind Actions:
- Practice the Huna-Philosophy * : Bless that which you want. When you are driving around, surfing the internet or reading a magazine, then bless whatever you like (beautiful houses, fantastic gardens, successful businesses….) and bless the owners or the people involved.
- Write and send a short letter or e-mail to someone you know of (not necessarily personally) who is highly successful in any arena, telling them how much you admire and honor them for their achievements.
* Huna Wisdom: The original teachings of the Hawaiian elders.
Now speak out following Declaration loud and clear toyourself, to underline your intention:
“I admire rich people!”
“I bless rich people!”
“I love rich people!”
“And I’m going to be one of those rich people too.”
My own experiences:
I had a great childhood with loving parents and grandparents. I loved going to school learning new things. But as Harv Eker says in his book me too has been conditioned to think this or that through the people around me like relatives, friends, teachers and the society in general. Me too had the belief that wealthy people mostly are arrogant, dishonest and greedy. Throughout my adulthood I got a differentiated picture and I have been able to get rid of these prejudiced beliefs. We must meet all people with respect, whatever social class they are part of.
I have learned to welcome good things into my life and I bless every good thing I already have. I am happy for people who achieve their goals and dreams. This feels good and already makes my life richer!
Remember:
YOU CREATE YOUR SUCCESS, ONLY YOU, SO BE AWARE of your THOUGHTS and TAKE ACTION.

I grew up with that same attitude described in the book; I felt that if someone was rich, then they got that way by being greedy and taking advantage of others. How silly to judge people that way without knowing anything about them!
Unfortunately it stuck with me for a long time. As I wrote in my last blog, when I joined WA, my goal was to make "just enough" money that I wouldn't have to worry about my bills anymore. That was about it. I kept telling myself that getting rich would be nice but I didn't need that. I just wanted to be comfortable. As much as I would love to travel, have a nice home, drive a nice car, I couldn't ask or hope for those things because it was being greedy...
I am glad that my mindset is changing. As I have written a number of times, my family deserves more than that, and having money isn't a bad thing if it lets me help people.
I think this is really one of the big things that keeps some people from being successful. They either think they don't deserve it, or shouldn't have it.
Wishing you all the best,

I too had been preconditioned and predisposed to negative thoughts about the rich. When I became a young adult, I started thinking differently. I believe everything will culminate through my association with WA.
