The Financial Secrets of an Abundant Mind
April 5th, 2010
“All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become.”
Prince Gautama Siddharta, the founder of Buddhism, 563-483 B.C.

I’m not a great gardener. But one thing I’ve learned is that if you want to create long-lasting change in your garden or lawn, you have to go below the surface. You have to dig deep into the roots where the problems and opportunities lie.
If the roots of a weed are not plucked out, the plant will grow back. Likewise, if the roots of the flower or grass seed do not receive the nourishment of fertilizer and water, they will wither away.
If we can take this analogy to your personal financial picture, what is the root of your money challenges–and opportunities?
It could be how you see or perceive things. Is the layoff a challenge, or an opportunity to shed a job that is going nowhere?
When you see people who do have financial success, are you jealous of their success, and perhaps feel hopeless that you can’t achieve the same?
How do you feel about limits? What kinds of constraints do you place on how much you earn–or how much you think you can earn?
These are all signs of how you approach the concept of abundance–or your abundance attitude. These thought patterns are the roots and they will turn into actions. And these actions will become habits.
You can always change this outlook by a similar process. Begin by consciously creating a new concept of personal finances that correspond to your new direction. Then act on them–in whatever way you can.
Eventually this will lead to habits: Good spending. Smart investing. Wise career moves.
And the next step is financial freedom.
