Creating a Mindset of Abundance

Abundance is around us. There exists so many opportunities to grow and develop and reach for our dreams. The world is filled with resources to empower us to live our greatest desires and go for what we really want in life!

In this journey of abundance, i have met teachers and guides who have shared with me a mindset of abundance. These have transformed my life and allowed me to see God's blessings and miracles overflowing everyday. These have empowered me to take action to discover the abundance that abounds.

Wisdom from the Wealth Masters

Live Inspired!

In our journey in life, we all need mentors. Mentors who show us the way. Mentors who shed light in our darkest hours. Mentors and Coaches who truly believe in our unlimited power. In the realm of Abundance, who better to mentor us than the Masters themselves - the Masters who have gone before us, and the masters who aim to share the abundant mindset that unleashes our inner wealth.

Creating Mastery: "The Master Key System"

"The world within creates the world without."

This age old wisdom of wealth creation comes from the abundance classic "The Master Key System" written by Charles Haanel, one of the wealthiest and most successful people of his time. His book is his contribution to the world, coming from his desire to impart the knowledge and skills he has gained in creating wealth and abundance in his own life.

Each chapter states practical principles that can empower you to be wealthy. His work can shift your perspective and empower you in your journey to wealth and abundance. In the Master Key System, Charles Haanel highlights the importance of the "world within", our own thoughts in creating our reality. In his book, you discover the unlimited power that is in all of us waiting to be unleashed.
Important!

Master Key System: Always Remember!

"The world within creates the world without.
The world without is only a reflection of the world within."
- Charles Haanel

Unlimited Power: Think and Grow Rich

Another book which really inspired me was a book by Napoleon Hill entitled "Think and Grow Rich". It surprised me that this book was the first book on self help literature which started the self help movement. Funny that the whole self help movement started from a book about how to be abundant financially in life. I guess it is but fitting as most of our ugly traits come out when dealing with this subject. But conversely, our greatest strength also comes out when we dream big in this arena.

Napoleon Hill in this book outlined many key strategies on how to progress on the road to abundance. One of my favorite principles outlined in this book is about "DESIRE". He says it all begins with a strong desire. Desire is the fuel that will keep us going as we encounter different circumstances in our journey toward abundance. A strong desire will carry us through and will inspire in us action and determination to see things through. A strong desire will enable us to see the joyful things around and have a sense of fun and joy that will sustain us through the journey. It is this desire that will make us grow beyond who we currently are and unleash the infinite potential within us.

Believe & Achieve!

"Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve."

- Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich

Learning from the Millionaires Next Door

One interesting book I've read about creating a mindset of abundance is the Millionaire Next Door. The book revealed to me the surprising simplicity of those who live in abundance. The people who have created wealth. And i was surprised to learn that not all of these people drive fancy cars nor wear ultra expensive clothes. Rather as they say, they have "cattle and not chattel". Instead on focusing on having, these people concentrated on being.

One great principle of this book is the definition of abundance and freedom. They outlined that one's freedom in finances is determined by how long one can live without needing to work. It's a great insight on what it really means to be abundant.

The Millionaire Next Door Wealth Formula

Ideal Net Worth = [(Age x Annual Gross Income) / 10 ] - (inherited wealth)

Current Worth = (2 x Ideal Net Worth) makes you a PAW > Prodigious Accumulator of Wealth!

The Success Principles

The book of Jack Canfield, the success principles holds a lot of insights into creating an abundance mindset. He mentions that one of the major barriers in seeing and experiencing the abundance in the world around us is our limiting beliefs. Early on in our lives, we have a lot of beliefs that constrained us and locked us in a small, enclosed world. These limiting beliefs such as "Money is scarce", "The rich are greedy",."If i have more wealth, the more problems i will have", all these beliefs have stunted our growth and have prevented us from creating abundance in our lives. In the success principles, jack canfield encourages us to replace our old limiting beliefs with new and empowering ones. These new empowering beliefs such as "I have unlimited power", "I have infinite potential", "the world is full of opportunities", all these fuel and ignite in us a strong power to attract and create abundance in our lives.

Impossible is Nothing!

Believe and act as though it was impossible to fail.

Buy Assets, not Liabilities! - Rich Dad

"An asset is something that puts money in your pocket" - Rich Dad

One book which is a contemporary classic in the field of creating an abundance mindset is the book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki. This is revolutionary work on simplifying an introduction to financial literacy. One of his most insightful and important lessons here is: "Buy Assets, Not Liabilities". He defines assets not as the traditional accounting definition of property such as a house or a car, but rather he defines an Asset specifically as "Something that puts money in your pocket".

The book Rich Dad, Poor Dad focuses also on breaking beyond the barriers in the mind, such as fear and complying with the status quo, that keep us from being truly wealthy in our lives. If you'd like to take a bold first step toward creating a wealthy & abundant mindset, reading and following the principles in Rich Dad, Poor Dad is a good place to start.

An asset defined by Rich Dad is something that puts money or income into your bank account. A liability takes away money from you.

Furthermore, T. Harv Eker's "The Secrets of the Millionaire Mind" is filled with "wealth files" to alter your negative programming:

The Way to Love and Happiness

thought provoking reflections by Anthony de Mello, SJ

Creating Abundance starts with one's self, with one's inner being. Happiness. Letting go of attachments. Love. Soul Feeling. All these are found in Anthony de Mello, SJ's ideas and words through his sharing.

Anthony de Mello's wisdom and honest voice makes one see point blank the chains that bind us. He makes us see that our happiness is in our hands. That it is our choice to hold on to our attachments, wherein we lie to ourselves that these will make us happy. Or to let all of them go and allow true to flow into our lives.

Here is a thought provoking excerpt from Anthony de Mello, SJ's book "The Way to Love". Something to consider:

"First, choose some attachment that troubles you - something that you are clinging to, or something you are craving for, and keep this attachment in mind as you listen to these 4 truths.

The 4 Truths of The Way to Love

from Anthony de Mello

  • 1The FIRST TRUTH:

    You must choose between your attachment and happiness. You can not have both.

    The moment you pick up an attachment, your heart is thrown out of kilter and your ability to lead a joyful carefree serene life is destroyed. See how true this is when applied to the attachment that you have chosen.
  • 2The SECOND TRUTH:

    Where did your attachment come from? You were not born with it. It sprang from a lie that your society and your culture have told you, or a lie that you have told yourself, namely, that without this or the other, without this person or the other, you can not be happy. Just open your eyes and see how false that is.

    There are hundreds of persons who are perfectly happy without this thing or person or situation that you crave for and that you have convinced yourself that you can not live without. So make your choice: Do you want your attachment, or your freedom and happiness?
  • 3The THIRD TRUTH:

    If you wish to be fully alive, you must develop a sense of perspective. Life is infinitely greater than this trifle your heart is attached to and which you have given the power to so upset you. Trifle, yes, because if you live long enough, a day will easily come when it will cease to matter.

    It will not even be remembered - your own experience will confirm this. Just as today you barely remember, are no longer the least bit affected by those tremendous trifles that so disturbed you in the past.
  • 4The FOURTH TRUTH:

    As so the fourth truth brings you to the unavoidable conclusion that no thing or person outside of you has the power to make you happy or unhappy. Whether you are aware of it or not, it is you who decides to be happy or unhappy, whether you will cling to your attachment or not in any give situation.

    As you ponder on these truths, you may become aware that your heart is resisting them or argues against them and refuses to look at them. That is a sign that you have not yet suffered enough at the hand of your attachments to really want to do something about your spiritual radio.

    Or your heart may place no resistance to these truths; if that is so, rejoice. Repentance, the refashioning of the heart has begun and the kingdom of God - within your grasp at last and you are about to reach out and take possession of it.

Choose.

You must choose between your attachment and happiness. You can not have both.

- Anthony de Mello, SJ

Money Magnet: The John Calub Genius Creation System

In creating an abundance mindset, I also got a lot of inner breakthroughs from a set of seminars held by John Calub, a trainer focusing on attracting wealth in our lives. He has 3 seminars which are related which I found very helpful. The first is what is called the "Money Magnet" course. The second is his "Attracting Wealth" Course. Finally, the third is what he calls "The Firewalk Bootcamp".

A lot the ideas he shares are synthesis from many wealthy mindset sources like Tony Robbins, T. Harv Eker, Jack Canfield, The Master Key System, and other abundance classics. The strength of this seminar is how he was able to apply all these principles in his own life and how they have worked for him. Moreover, he also presents everything in a synthesized way, integrating the different lessons into one synergistic whole. To top this off, his excellent humor drills the lessons down in your head. John Calub Creating makes creating an abundance mindset extremely fun!

Feeling Good and the Law of Attraction

a paradigm shift from Esther and Jerry Hicks, "Money and the Law of Attraction"

"Nothing is more important than feeling good". I was resisting one of the first statements in book "Money and the Law of Attraction" by Esther and Jerry Hicks. To me, it sounded somewhat hedonistic, or too pleasure seeking. But the more i reflected on it. I realized i was viewing this statement too negatively. When I looked again, I saw the truth in the statement "Nothing is more important than feeling good". Indeed, all abundance starts with one's self. If one feels joyful, happy, inspired, then abundance naturally flows. In contrast, if we are stuck in cynicism, despair, blaming, and complaining, no matter what blessings fall on our path, we will never see them nor experience the abundance they bring, the abundance that is around.

We have the power to "feel good" about ourselves. It starts with this joyful, happy mindset. It really matters what we choose to focus on. What we focus on becomes our reality. What we keep thinking about flows into our results. Thus, to transform whatever results we are experiencing, the shift has to begin with ourselves, with how we "feel". Being human, there are sometimes automatic feelings and thoughts we experience. Being human allows us choice, the power to choose, whether we honor the negativity in our heads and egos, or to choose otherwise, to step into the light of joy, happiness, clarity, and peace..From there, everything flows.

Movies and the Abundance Mindset

Lessons from Movies that make one Wealthy Within

Disney's "Meet the Robinsons"

Meet the Robinsons

"Keep Moving Forward" - the thesis of this movie - really inspired and moved me. To create an abundance mindset, it is key to keep moving forward in spite all setbacks, falls, mistakes, and roadblocks. Often, we get stuck after encountering these barriers. What is important is to know that, in spite of everything, we have to power to create and accomplish what we desire. We have the power to "keep moving forward"!
