Do You Think Successful People are Lucky?
Billions of people go through their entire lives tolerating poverty, poor relationships and poor health because of something they call “bad luck.” Thinking positive never crosses their minds.
There is little doubt that chance plays a part in all of our lives. On occasions that will not seem fair because sometimes bad things will happen to good people just as good things will happen to bad people.
In Napoleon Hill’s world renowned book “Think and Grow Rich,” Hill wrote conducted a series of experiments which was used to determine how fortunate people became “lucky”.
The results of the experiment were fascinating and “thinking positive” was proved to have a dramatic effect on the participants. The results concluded that lucky people were those individuals who remembered the good things that had happened to them in their lives and who focused on what they really wanted out of life.
The people who experienced “bad luck” remembered mainly the bad things that had happened in their lives and focused on bad things and circumstances they did not want in their lives.
This fact is probably the most important difference between people who get what they want and people who do not. Thinking positive is the key.
Do You Think Other People Are To Blame For Your Problems?
Most people who don’t have what they want out of life always blame others. They will tell you who or what caused their life to turn out the way it is and why they are “unlucky”. Put simply, these people see themselves as victims of either circumstances or the choices of others. They totally ignore their own ability to assert control over their own life.
Again, there is little doubt that chance plays a part in all of our lives and that we are sometimes directly or indirectly affected by the choices of others. However, successful people throughout the world know that no matter what happens to them, by thinking positive and staying focused they are always in control of who they decide to become as a result. And that makes all the difference.
Do You Think Rich People Are Greedy?
This thought is one of the main causes of poverty and financial misfortune. If you think that rich people are greedy the chances are you will almost certainly never become rich yourself. Let’s face it, who wants to be seen as a greedy person? We’ve all heard the terms to describe the rich such as “fat cats” and the “filthy rich”.
This belief will also stop you from thinking positive and seeking advice from wealthy people about how to make money and build wealth.
Unfortunately, you'll probably end up doing what the majority of people do. They take financial advice from other poor or broke people and wonder why they stay poor themselves.
The belief that rich people were “born rich” is also damaging. Over 80% of the millionaires in North America are first generation rich meaning that they built their wealth out of nothing.
There’s no reason why you can’t do the same. But first you have to let go of the belief that rich people have to be either greedy or born that way. Give yourself a break and start thinking positive today.
