Wealth is a mindset, and that is really first and foremost in your choice of everything. When you set your mind on something you really want, or something you really want to accomplish, does anything stop you? The only thing that really stops you is yourself; there is a quote I like “do not complain about what you will allow.” This quote has really changed my life in many ways, because you have to take responsibility for everything you will allow in life, and all your choices good or bad. If I make a choice in business and that choice was not the right one I cannot complain about it, but I can learn from it so I make different choices the next time.
Your mindset or attitude is what helps you keep going. I can remember wanting to play football and even lying that I was from that area so I could play. It would be like cheerleading or the girls playing soccer today. I wanted to play and I made my mind up that I was going to, my attitude had to be the same also. Even though I was playing doing wind sprints up a hill 50 times a day was not fun, and many times I wanted to quit. Well it is the same in the game of life. Life is what is thrown at us if we want it or not; but it is our attitude and our mindset that help us get through it. Wealth is a choice and you need the right mindset to push through all of the things life throws at you until the results come.
Let me ask you a question; has anything that you really want in life come easy? I can say math came easy for me. But the truth is most of life has been a battle of the mind and a will to accomplish what I wanted to. Maybe that’s why the Bible says; that the battle is in our mind; and another verse says you have to take every thought captive unto the word God. I can tell you many times in my life that I can look back and see where I made a certain decision that changed my attitude and probably changed my life for the good. I know that I never had the mindset to be a good speller because I hated it, and now that I am writing I’ve had to change my mindset in my attitude so I can become a good speller. Wealth is a mindset for each of us to choose.
The results always come from your work. Right now we are in the middle of the Olympic Games and you can see the athletes that have put the time in their workouts, and you can see the ones that are planning to win because they have the mindset to win. The one American that has set his goal to beat Mark Spitz’s record of seven gold medals in these games: what is his mindset going in I am sure it is; he will do it, because without that mindset he has no chance of doing it. I also could talk about the USA men’s basketball team that is going to prove that America has the best basketball team again; their mindset is no one will beat them.
So the true question is: What is your mindset? Do you believe you can be wealthy? Do you need to change your mindset about wealth? Wealth is a choice, and so is your mindset your choice, are you ready to make the choice the results will come.
