Do You Have Healthy “Wealth Esteem”?

How do feel about wealth and money? A negative attitude toward rich people, and money in general, will keep you poor for the rest of your life. Many people who are not wealthy resent those who are. The bitter irony here is that it’s not possible to become something you don’t like.

Despite the fact that many of these same resentful people would answer “yes” when asked if they’d like to be rich, their negative feelings towards wealth will prevent this from ever happening. By blessing rich and successful people, you set the stage for positive subconscious reflection toward money and wealth. Instead of resenting, be genuinely happy for those who have much and seek to learn what they know.

Some people will even go so far as to say that money is not spiritual, or that it’s downright evil. This is an extremely self-defeating mentality! The bible tells us that “to him (or her) who has, more will be given, and to him (or her) who does not have, even what he (or she) has will be taken away.” You can find this verse in Mark 4:25 and in other versions of the Gospel. Clearly, this is a reference to one’s abundance thinking or lack thereof.

If you believe money is evil you’re going to struggle for the rest of your life. Don’t do this to yourself. Money is a blessing unless it is used in a negative way. So stop believing there is something wicked about having plenty of cash flow. On a subtler note, many people use what they believe are harmless figures of speech like “filthy rich”, “obscene amount of money”, etc. Think about this for a moment.

What do you find filthy or obscene about wealth and money? If the answer is nothing, then I urge you to stop using this sort of negative terminology right away.

It has been said that wealth is first a state of mind, and second a reflection of your assets and money. I believe this wholeheartedly. If you want to avoid a life of struggle and embrace the path to abundance, change your thinking to reflect positively on the ideals of wealth and riches.

One great way to change your money consciousness is with daily positive affirmations. Study this simple technique and apply it to your life and you’ll see change in short order.
