Understanding Your Mind’s Impact on Financial Prosperity. Money, Money Mindset, Personal Finance, Personal Growth, Personal Development

There are moments when the topic of money creates discomfort. More often, it’s a subject that most people avoid and neglect. Is it a sign that you should deal with changing your money mindset?

The cause is the thought process that we are often unaware of. We end up letting it guide us through life on autopilot without realizing the limits it imposes.

I want to share with you how this limiting mindset works. Thinking is formed by beliefs. These beliefs seem to be truths, realities.

They are just ideas that through repetition or their expression by something/someone perceived as an authority (parent, teacher) seem to become true.

To remember:

Any idea or statement repeated several times over some time becomes a belief and is treated by your mind as a truth. It doesn’t matter if it’s unverified and unreal; just through repetition, your mind considers it true.

Let me give you an example:

If from a young age you heard “only those with money have a chance to succeed,” “those who have money are villains” or “money is the root of all evil,” etc.… then as an adult, you will sabotage any strategy you make that could lead to financial freedom.
