Hey, I hope that your day was good. Mine was filled with reflections and sleep. I started reading the book, "The rules of wealth" by Richard Templar, on Sunday. I had read it before, that was this time, but 2 years ago, if I am not mistaken. I had a few lessons but I forgot a greater part of that book. Maybe, my values weren't aligned that year. I was still very naive, not understanding the major principles of wealth.
So, on Sunday, when I found the hard copy of the same book, in my neighbor's room, I didn't hesitate to ask to borrow it. I told him I had read it before but it was a soft copy, and I do not like soft copies of books that much. I usually feel there is no connection between the soft copies of books that I read. I feel more connected to the hard copies, and I can find things and pages I want easily because I know where to find them.
My neighbor let me borrow the book, and I began to dive into it for the second time after 365(2) days.
Do you know most of the things I read, I had a deeper understanding this time? I don't know why, but I think it's because I have indirectly exposed myself to the things discussed in that book.
For instance, I had read this book, The lazy man way to riches, last year by this time, and the first part had the notion that I can have anything I want. I didn't believe it then. I was annoyed with the rest of the books because I thought I will be finding information on how to make money and gain riches.
I thought it's a money-making scheme
I began to think that it was merely a book on Advertising that never taught Copywriters how to advertise. Yes, I was pretty annoyed. Except, with the chapter that taught me how to write successful Ads, which clearly said, I shouldn't. Can you imagine that? Someone is telling you how to write successful Ads and asks you to refrain from doing it. That's weird, right? I thought so too. So, I hated the first few pages and the last except the ads chapter.
Today, I was thinking about everything and I found out, the book had everything I needed to make wealth, I just wasn't ready to start building wealth. I was wrong. I was wrong about wealth. I had the notion that I have to work so hard to gain everything I want(of course, work is important, but not the only thing). I didn't know wealth starts with my mindset. My thinking. My thoughts.
Forging ahead, I read, Money, know more, make more, give more, by Rob Moore, a few weeks ago, and yes, you are right, the part about my mindset was in it. I read Secrets of the Millionaire's mindset by T. Harv Eker, and everything was about my mindset, my mentality.
The Law of Attraction is important
I have been telling you about reading about Law of Attraction here on Hive on @ryzeonline's blogs and yes, it boils down to my thoughts, my resistance, my beliefs, in short form, mindset.
Re-reading the Rules of Wealth emboldened my perception. It amplified everything. It brought the whole concept into the spotlight for me.
Wealth is created first in our subconscious, our thoughts, our words, our beliefs, our mindset. We might be able to accumulate all of the wealth we want but our limiting beliefs will send us to ground Zero before we realize it. We may begin to blame it on everyone around us except ourselves. Whereas, we are our problems.
I repeat, the law of attraction is important
I wasn't writing this to share the law of attraction for you, no, I wouldn't want to bore you that much, but, I will want to hammer the IMPORTANCE of LOA, to you, though.
I wrote this post because once I got to a certain section 5 of the rules of wealth, something changed. I am always worried about what I will do with the money if I acquired them. I usually don't know.
I do know the part I told you in my introduction post which was my wildest dreams 👇👇
I want to be financially stable and secure that way, I will have enough time in my hands to seduce my future husband and my children. Lol(weird, right?). Enough time in the sense that at some point, I won't have to worry about money, but, pay more attention to my family. Introduction post
Except that, I knew nothing else. Until I got to section 5 of the rules of wealth, and the answers were written in plain language. I still didn't get it. You can call me a dullard, I'll accept because I think, with money, it takes me a bit of time to understand its concepts. Watch, I just got to the point of this understanding after 2 years. Sharing my wealth that's what the section was about.
The author explained I can support any cause, I didn't know what cause I would love to support. So, while I was sleeping, I was thinking hard about everything and how I had the answers, I didn't just see them. It took me lots of experience to truly understand these concepts, notions, and strategies to Wealth.
You can use your wealth to support the poor, needy, and the helpless
Now, I can connect to everything I have read from day one, in every single financial book, today, each book I mentioned here, did talk about sharing our Wealth. It was a part of the things the books taught, it feels good to know you have lots of money and you should be able to share it with anyone, support any cause. No wonder, Elon Musk is trying to save the world from Poverty, No wonder, Bill Gates and Melinda are running charity organizations. Wealth is the one thing that allows you to save any part of the universe. And it's the proper thing to do, save the world with your wealth.
