Wealth is Just a Vehicle for What You're Really
Craving
If one of your major goals in life is to attract wealth, you may want to question your
underlying motivations so you can get clear about what you're REALLY after.
Before we explore how to do that, you may be feeling resistant to the idea that you don't
really want wealth. Of course you want to be wealthy, you've been dreaming about it forever,
right?
That may be true, but beneath your desire for great wealth is a craving for something a
bit less tangible, and you believe that having vast sums of money would help you receive it. Even if you have
trouble believing that right now, keep an open mind and the concept will come clearer as we go along.
Right now, get a blank sheet of paper and begin making a list of the feelings that wealth
would inspire in you.
For example, your list might look something like this:
- Freedom
- Fun
- Happiness
- Peace of mind
- Empowerment
- Confidence
- Generosity
- Security
- Relaxation
For each item on your list, take a few minutes to write a brief description about why feeling
that way would be beneficial for you. For example: "Feeling free would mean being able to spend my time
the way I want, do the kind of work I love, spend more time on activities I love, and have more time to spend with
my family."
Once you've finished, review what you've written and then choose the one feeling that
speaks most loudly to you, the one that really makes you feel excited and eager.
THAT is what you are really after - not wealth. You just happen to believe that
being wealthy would allow you to feel that way more often than you do now.
And indeed, perhaps that is true. But what you may not realize is that you don't
necessarily need to be wealthy in order to feel that way.
You can visualize feeling that way and immediately start feeling that way!
Even better, the more you DO feel that way (via visualization or other activities) the
more you will start drawing wealth into your life.
This is important to understand because you probably spend a lot of time craving wealth so
you can feel the way you want to feel, but if you start feeling that way deliberately more often, you will become
like a magnet for wealth. It will simply be pulled into your life because you are focusing on the outcome you
want (the feelings and circumstances), and that activates the universe to deliver the means and resources to help
you make it a reality.
Take this insight to heart and apply it in your life and you will be amazed at how quickly
it can work!
