Understanding How Money Works

By Kelly Heldreth

Money is something a lot of us feel uncomfortable discussing, but I swear to you there will be no inoculations or tooth pulling today. Before I start, just a brief recap ? We've already discussed the importance of associating with people who are successful. You should spend less time with those who try to bring you down when an upwards trajectory is what you are pursuing.

While I'm not urging you to drop your friends, you should give some consideration to the environment around you. Most of us rend to associate with people whose salaries are similar to our own. Think about how the people you know deal with money ? are they enjoying financial freedom, or do they instead spend their time worrying about money and are always broke?

You have to become more aware of how money works and to spend more of your time with people who have money and have it coming in consistently. When you associate with those who already have achieved your goals, you can learn from them. After all, if they have achieved financial freedom, they have to be doing something right.

Wealthy people understand that money is nothing more than energy and when they have the right mindset concerning money, they consistently get it. Most people think they can only enjoy financial freedom after putting out the blood, sweat and tears to get it; but that couldn't be further from the truth.

The trick is to have a positive relationship with money in order to attract it. After all, if money is nothing more than energy ? there's nowhere you have to go to get ? it's just a matter of attracting it. It's pure energy and it's all around you.

This is what wealthy people know that the poor don't. This is why it's important to love what you do for work. The more positively you feel about your career, the better of a relationship you'll have with the money that comes from working. Let me explain it for you.

If you want to become successful and financially independent, you need to feel good about what you do for a living. People who are successful are so in large part because they love what they do. You can make money doing some thing which you don't like, of course; but this will always should you back from being as successful as you want to be. This is because you are doing something which is at odds with your real goals for your life.

You also have to keep company wit people who have money already; notice how differently they behave. You'll never hear wealthy people say "I can't afford it". They are well aware that money is a form of energy and there is no such thing as not having enough; just not attracting it effectively. Your attitude (or energy alignment) determines how well you will be able to attract this energy to you. The wealthy feel good about money, while the poor worry about money.

The secret is to have a positive attitude about money. If you can build this relationship, money will come to you.
