Understanding How Money Works

By Kelly Heldreth

Money is something a lot of us feel uncomfortable discussing, but I swear to you there will be no inoculations or tooth pulling today. Before I start, just a brief recap ? We've already discussed the importance of associating with people who are successful. You should spend less time with those who try to bring you down when an upwards trajectory is what you are pursuing.

While I'm not urging you to drop your friends, you should give some consideration to the environment around you. Most of us rend to associate with people whose salaries are similar to our own. Think about how the people you know deal with money ? are they enjoying financial freedom, or do they instead spend their time worrying about money and are always broke?

The goal is to expand your awareness of how money works and spend time with people who have and get money on a consistent basis. This is what you are doing when you spend time with people who have what you want. They must be doing something right if they have financial freedom.

People who have managed to get to the point where they enjoy financial freedom are aware that money is nothing more or less than another form of energy. When you think the right way about money, you will have little trouble attracting it to you. Many think that the only way to become a success is by years of hard work ? not to take anything away from work, but it's not the whole story.

To attract money, what you have to do is to first develop a good relationship with money. Think about it ? if money is a form of energy, it's all around you right now ? you just have to learn how to attract it.

This is the secret that the wealthy understand and the major principle that separates the wealthy from the poor. And this is why it's important to feel good about what you do for a living, because the better you feel about it, the better your relationship to the money aspect of working becomes. Let me explain.

If you want to become successful and financially independent, you need to feel good about what you do for a living. People who are successful are so in large part because they love what they do. You can make money doing some thing which you don't like, of course; but this will always should you back from being as successful as you want to be. This is because you are doing something which is at odds with your real goals for your life.

You also have to keep company wit people who have money already; notice how differently they behave. You'll never hear wealthy people say "I can't afford it". They are well aware that money is a form of energy and there is no such thing as not having enough; just not attracting it effectively. Your attitude (or energy alignment) determines how well you will be able to attract this energy to you. The wealthy feel good about money, while the poor worry about money.

In order to attract this energy to you, all you need to do is to establish a positive relationship with money. This will draw wealth to you like a magnet. - 15431
