Let’s face it. We all want certain things in life and when it comes to financial abundance, it ussually is on top of our wishlist. We also quite often have an upbringing that has taught us to work hard, save and eventually we will be able to put together a small nestegg on which we can retire.

Frankly speaking, I don’t think that idea is too appealing. First off it involves a long timeframe stretching over decades. Secondly, it relies heavily on elbow grease and long hours to get us that next promotion and pay off that mortgage and the nice car we financed.

So what do those of us do that want the shorter road, the more comfortable path to wealth? Are we simply out of luck because there is but one way to a bright future and even that is not guaranteed because we may loose our job or make bad financial decisions along the way.

As we leave this idea of the slow and hard road to wealth behind there has got to be more options on getting to the top, right. Well, you guessed it, there are tons of them. But here’s the deal…

In the next step, many people begin a new project or venture and they are totally sure that this time they will strike it big and go home with a big moneybag ready to retire at age 29. I’m talking about the Network Marketing systems, the guy who opens his software company to beat Google at its game or the secretary that sells Avon on the side to make it big and retire rich.

At the more extreme end of this spectrum are those that go to the casino and make it a habit to try and hit that jackpot every night. Others yet will buy an obscene amount of lottery tickets and cross their fingers at every draw that they will forever wave goodbye to their financial issues and be a carefree millionaire.

Well, I got news for you! Unless you change the way you think about the money you are trying to attract, none of these methods will yield any true results because they are not accompanied by a change in consciousness. Only when we change the way we think and feel about money and about having it in our life, do we actually open the door to have that money come into our life.

It’s a statistical fact that most lottery winners, regardless of the amount they won, are back to where they started or worse within 2 years with nothing to show for all the money that flowed through their hands. Again that’s because what they are telling the universe is that they DO NOT BELIEVE that they deserve more money except by a fluke chance that it is awarded to them from a casino jackpot or by winning the lottery.

You are in the spot you are in today because of the beliefs you have and the thoughts you offered about your life. Money or the absence of it is a wonderful indicator of how your mental realtionship to the source of abundance really is. The numbers in your bank account are never an accident, the paycheck you receive is never an accident. So start by taking responsibility for all you have at this point and find what is good about it.

Next, start to offer a different mental picture about money and that is the starting point of change in your money consciousness which will inevitably lead to lasting abundance if you so choose.

Have fun with this concept and I’ll see you at the top…
