Hello, my climate honey ❤

Here I am again, with the second part of “Secrets of Millionaire Mind” book insights. If you are new here, please, stop reading this article and go first read part 1. I am pretty sure if you follow my advice, it will be easier to understand the principles shared in this conversation.

If you met me on social media, you already know that one of my biggest dreams is to study abroad. So, I am committed to improving my English with daily practice, reading books in English, listening to podcasts from USA communicators, and practicing my grammar on the EF online platform. This is a huge challenge, but I learned that when we share our journey, the achievements, mistakes, and knowledge have a bigger impact.

So, I decided to share all the valuable information I am learning from these readings. Take a deep breath and follow me :)

Move from hard work to smart work

“The more your money works, the less you will have to work.” (T. Harv Eker)

Everyone would like to have a meaningful life, but only a few people are willing to make real changes. If you want different results, you need to come out of your comfort zone and start to make wise choices.

Buuut, how to make wise choices when we don’t even know what we want?

The capitalist world is screaming in our faces about the kind of person who is acceptable. The food we need to eat, the clothes we need to wear, the hobbies we need to practice, the series and movies we need to watch, and even the places we need to frequent to be part of a social group.

People who don’t know who they are and what they want are just following a rule book that will not bring happiness to their lives! They will just take what the system wants: attention, money, and power!

Ok… This might be a little heavy, but it’s the truth. We need to start to have control of our minds, behavior, and attitudes. As T. Harv Eker, author of Secrets of The Millionaire Mind, says:

“Thoughts lead to feelings, feelings lead to actions, and actions lead to results.”

You are the principal responsible for your success, but first, you need to define what success means to you. Your inner world creates your outer world. If you want to make a permanent change, stop focusing on the size of your problems and start focusing on the size of you!

The truth is: what you believe becomes reality.

It’s the same approach with money. Would you like to see it?

What you focus on expands

“Where attention goes, energy flows and results show.” (T. Harv Eker)

I don’t want to spend the rest of my life chasing money, but I want money to come to me abundantly. If we have the power of intention, the universe will conspire to bring what we truly believe we deserve, consciously or unconsciously.

In other words, the focus we give to each situation determines what we find in our lives. The law of attraction is very simple: focus on opportunities and that’s what you find. Focus on obstacles and that’s what you find. Keep your eye on your goal, move to your target, and put your time and energy into creating what you want. When obstacles arise, handle them, then quickly refocus on your vision.

Would you like to be a successful person?

Be positive, reliable, focused, determined, persistent, hardworking, smart working, energetic, good with people, a competent communicator, semi-intelligent, and an expert in at least one area. (T. Harv Eker)

Energy is contagious!

You have the opportunity to influence people around you. It’s up to you, all the time you are making the choices that create the environment you are living in. Every single vibrational energy you emit, you send a message to the universe. So, stop right now blaming, justifying, or complaining, and start to thank, appreciate and enjoy the blessings that the Creator gives you every day.

A happy person with a light soul and a free spirit attracts good people. Money, used with purpose, can bring freedom to buy, eat, travel, study, or even work with what you want and when you want.

Developing a rich mindset

“Rich people live in a world of abundance. Poor people live in a world of limitations. Of course, both live in the same physical world, but the difference is in their perspective.” (T. Harv Eker)

In my world, wealth is associated with abundance, freedom, and happiness. I want and enjoy valuable stuff, but more importantly, I want to be a valuable person: focused, brave, and certain that I deserve all the blessings of this life.

As Marianne Williamson, author of A Return to Love, says:

“You are a child of God. Pretending to be small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

The order of success is to BE, DO, HAVE. Please, don’t invert this process! This is the time to become a great leader, engaging, inspiring, and motivating everyone around you. Are you ready to live ALL your potential?
