Admit it, you’ve thought of robbing the bank once or twice right? OK, maybe you’re better than that-how about winning the lottery? Many think this is the way to become rich but truly, it is not. You can build wealth on your own and changing your life while you’re at it. All you need to do is to change your paradigm.

So what do we do and where do we start? There are three things you can do to effectively improve your life in a straightforward and helpful way. First, write down your goals and make it as specific as possible. Take for example your dream to become rich. Envision yourself wealthy and jot down everything you see clearly and in detail.

Next, list down all the connections you can think of that you associate with your goal. One way to do this is employ the strategy of writers when they craft their story lines and plots. Write down your goal in the middle of the sheet and encircle it. Around this main point, draw smaller rings with the associations you have and connect it with the main goal. Maybe it is to build wealth-you may want to include earning money, six figure income, and expensive homes in your list.

Are you looking at this sheet of paper right now? You are in fact looking at the paradigms you have held regarding money. Most of what you wrote you may already know about yourself, but there are some that might have surprised you. Like for some, a six figure income seems a bit excessive; therefore they unwittingly repel abundance in their earning money potential.

With the paradigms you have listed down, what are the particular phrases that produce the strongest negative emotion inside you? If you want to build wealth, you have to know the detriments within you that keep you from attaining this goal. Many times it is inaccurate ideas on finances.

Now that you have the root of your paradigm- do something about it. Reprogram yourself mentally to think higher thoughts by writing down and hearing yourself speak out motivational quotes that will stir you up to become rich.

Motivational quotes are more than nice words on the bumper stickers of your car-it is a powerful and a highly effective tool that will have the universe help you to grow rich and prosperous. A good affirmation to grow rich would be, “I am meant to be prosperous. I attract money wherever I go and I am divinely ordained to create wealth and manage it well. This is my destiny.”

The problem with earning money is that if you do not deal with your mindsets first-it will only be an exercise in frustration. Changing your life is as simple as changing your paradigm. Purpose to operate in a higher level no matter how challenging it may be sometimes-there is no endeavor worthier than this.
