Change Your Thinking And Get Richer
By: Mark Spall
Imagine two situations; 1) finding £1000, that is yours to keep with no strings
attached and 2) earning £1000 through hard-work.
I'm curious - is there any difference between the value of them? Do you consider
one to be worth more than the other? Is there any difference in how you would
spend them?
Are they different to you in some way? You can do exactly the same thing with
them. I wonder if you really would. Well if you do attach a different value to
them you could be missing out; read on to learn how to get more for free!
My point in all this questioning is that if we only value the 'things' that we
have to work hard for there is a danger that the 'things' that we can have with
ease just pass us by - they are unvalued and do not grab our attention. These
'things' are not just money of course but skills, knowledge, relationships to
name a few; they are all valuable assets.
The secret of success is to consider this all in two parts:
1) the value of it - that is how well it meets your needs, not just monetary
value. This applies whether it was easy to come by or not.
2) the recognition of the achievement in attaining it. Some things can be harder
to acquire than others and we should reward ourselves through recognition when
we acquire such things.
You see, it is worth the same whether you had to acquire new skills or resources
to get it or rely on the existing (carefully honed) ones that you take for
granted.
How about if, from now on, you recognise what you have for what it is worth and
separately for what it took to achieve it. Seeing it as two parts will open your
awareness to the things that you can have that are already available to you
without effort.
When you see yourself making these changes and getting different results be sure
to thank yourself. Your mind wants to please you and likes gratitude. In return
it will do it all the more for you.
Enjoy getting richer!
