Do You Have a Wealthy Attitude?

Wealthy people are conniving, selfish, lazy monsters who will
steal your last penny if you let them, or so that's what I was
raised to believe.
Fortunately, through my work and various associations, I've
spent time with many of these 'monsters', and discovered that
nothing could be farther from the truth.
In fact, over the years I've learned that wealthy people are the
hardest working, most generous people one could ever meet.
Obviously, the fear-based attitudes about money that were
instilled during my childhood were not only incorrect, they
didn't produce more for me than a steady job.
And no job, no paycheck. No matter how well-paid you are, that's
not wealth, that's a dangerous rut.
To me, wealth means income that is generated on a continuous and
ongoing basis, whether or not I'm working specifically on that
project or investment at any given time.
I knew that if I wanted to live a richer, fuller life, I'd have
to let go of my old beliefs and adopt healthier, more productive
attitudes to acquiring wealth.
So I set out to learn about the commonly held beliefs and values
shared by wealthy people.
The first commonality was obvious. Wealthy people all value
their time too highly to exchange it for a paycheck, and
therefore they work for themselves. The exception to this is
made when they'll work for a company in their chosen industry to
gain experience or be mentored.
Truly wealthy folks know that there is no such thing as 'get
r*ch quick' and understand that businesses are built, and wealth
is acquired, through being of service to others. They find a
need and fill it with excellent products and highly quality
customer service. Having their customers' trust and support,
their businesses stand the test of time.
All, without fail, regularly give a portion of their time and
money to help those less fortunate.
The wealthy also place great emphasis on healthy nutrition and
regular exercise. After their work day is over, rather than flop
on the couch to watch a rerun of 'Friends' (and West Wing, and
Coronation Street, and Frasier...) they'll opt for a run or a
friendly game of squash. They understand that exercise is an
activity that creates energy, whereas succumbing to the
temptation to 'flake-out' leaves you feeling even more exhausted.
While out on that run, they put the increased oxygen flow to
good use by thinking, thinking and thinking some more. They
forumulate business plans and strategies for the short, medium
and long-term. They know that their vision for a happy, solid
future for themselves and their familes is built on goals and
the specific plans to achieve them.
Family is their top priority. Everything they do is for the
purpose of helping to improve the lives of their family members.
Above all, they approach life with gratitude. They know in their
hearts that there is more than enough wealth on the planet for
everyone to share. They know that whatever effort they make,
whatever they choose to give, will be returned to them many
times over.
>From that perspective, they have no fear, and it's fear, not
money, that is the root of all evil. Fear causes people to hold
on tight and act in greedy, selfish ways. Give to receive.. it's
really that simple.
The 'good life' may seem like a lot of hard work, and it is! But
if you truly want to enjoy the good life, then do the 'work' of
setting goals, staying healthy, and being of service to others
with joy and an open heart. You'll be delighted by the rewards
work can bring when you approach life with a wealthy attitude.
