Taking inventory and finding the "Ghosts" that stand in my way:
The first of the six basic fears is the fear of POVERTY.
I grew up in poverty of material possessions, but my child's
mind saw riches as I showed my childhood friends
through our new home that came with the luxury of
running water, an indoor bathroom an electric stove
and refrigerator that didn't need ice blocks to keep it
cold. I was 12 years old and in my mind, we were rich.
I have been on a mission ever since, to accumulate
riches in the form of financial freedom only to have it
elude me and the battle to go on continues like the
rabbit chasing a carrot that's tied to a string.
So, what is it that stops me from reaching the pot
of gold at the end of the rainbow?
Hill says, "if you want riches, you must refuse to
accept any circumstance that leads toward poverty"
The staring point is desire and desire I have had
from childhood. accepting a poverty mind set now
would be like giving up before the race is over.
Fear of poverty is a state of mind, nothing else!
Possessions are just things that can be replaced.
The mind is too powerful to waste.
A new chapter of my life has opened it's door.
There are two roads on the other side of the door.
One leads to living life in fear of being alone and having
to much month left at the end of my money. That only
leads to giving up on my dreams and settling for what
ever life will give me.
The other road leads to new adventure, new possibilities
and self discoveries. I cannot say that I have no fear,
for stepping into unfamiliar territory is a bit frightening.
However, staying focused on my desire and taking one
day at a time will peel the layers of fear away until I
reach the fruit of my thoughts and dreams.
I have the opportunity to create a new reality for myself
right now. There is nothing in my way except myself
and my thoughts. Taking a lesson from my childhood,
I am rich, look around, I have the gift of unconditional
love from a Master Mind family of friends here at
Mentoring For Free and that is priceless beyond any
measure.
The first and best victory, Hill writes, is to conquer self.
The power of the mind is like the power of Z06 Corvette.
First you fill it with the right fuel, engage the engine and
step on the gas. In the blink of an eye it takes you form
0 to 100 in a heart beat. And that's the power of the mind,
from poverty to riches in a heart beat. It's a state of mind.
I refuse to accept any circumstance that leads to poverty.
Thank You Michael and Linda for pointing me to tools that
have opened new doors that fuel a positive mind set.
