I just feel I couldn't make it, said my dad with tears in his eyes because of his feeling of failure in life; his clients didn't want to pay him, work was getting harder and harder and he didn't achieve all things he would want to at the age of 50. I don't know you, but when it is about my dad I just break down; I could hardly say everything will get better dad, don't worry, when I didn't even know how to help him.

I've always have all the basic stuff to live thanks to my dad’s efforts. However he's in the same place than 10 years ago and that’s why I've wonder a lot of times how is that he hasn't done well financially if he has worked most of his life; without noticing, I got the answer.

Money moves the world. Even though I know it isn’t the most important thing, I do think it is an essential tool to be happy; it is the vehicle to do things for others and, of course, for yourself. Nonetheless, I’ve known cases in which rich people commit suicide or people with enough money to live the rest of their lives comfortably just don’t feel happy.

One of my dad’s friends told him she envied him. My dad asked why, and she, being a professional woman with a really good income, told him she wasn’t happy; she would give it all to have daughters like my sister and I and a family like ours. Paradoxically, my dad envied all stuff she had and the trips she could experienced.

This is how I realized it isn’t exactly about the money. When my dad told me that story I knew it isn’t true that money makes you happy; what makes you happy it’s to realize you are wealthy with or without money, with or without family. But as I said, the money can make you happy if you just see it as a tool. So, if you have effort trying to get x amount of that tool but you have no positive results, there is a reason for that.

YOU SABOTAGE YOURSELF!

You do. My dad does. I've done it too. How do we do it? Subconsciously, we have neuro-associations about money that are nocive to attract it. even if we win lottery tomorrow, it's money that will be gone if we don't get ready to manage the idea of having it.

The magic of build new beliefs

We are humans and we always want one of two things; either feel pleasure or keep pain away. A way to force our subconscious to not ward off money is to link pain to the fact of not having money, that way if we know that there are beliefs that don't allow us to have money we will know that don't change them will be painful.

Now is when the Success Journal gets in

“Why a Journal? That won’t give you any money Val”

I thought the same. Writing things in a notebook is not a way to earn money; it is a way to attack the problem from its root. Most of us aren’t taught about how to set yourself to attract all kinds of wealth; financial wealth, spiritual wealth, emotional wealth… So, this notebook is an example about how to start getting ready to be financially wealthy.

1. Writing painful things derivative of lack of money

What are you missing out for not being financially solved? This is my answer

2. If I say lots of money, what do you think?

What do you associate to money? what are the single words that come to your head? This is what I think

3. What were you taught about money?

What have you heard about money when growing up? what phrases people said about it when you were a kid?

4. Your whole money issues are in the past; how do you feel?

If you had all the money you now think impossible, how would your life be? how would that change you?

5. Shifting old and negative beliefs

Remember the beliefs you heard before and shift them in a positive way

Try to repeat these phrases you transformed everyday; that way you will be training yourself with positive thoughts about money.

Pay attention ✓

You have everything you deserve; all the world is yours. If you have sense of belonging you will never feel poor; you will remember that what you have now makes you lucky and prosperous. There's a reason of why you are here and to found it you have to wake up everyday knowing that YOU ARE WEALTHY ALREADY, because no amount of money will make you wealthy, it is you who decide if you are wealthy or not.
