I can bet that growing up in Nigeria, you must have been engrained with one of the following misconceptions about money :
"At least we're happy"
"Money can't buy happiness"
"We might not be wealthy, but at least we're honest"
"Maybe it's just not God's will for me to have money"
Ever heard those?
I'd bet you have. You can probably add a few I haven't heard before.
Well, I call all those total BS
As a society, we've been conditioned since birth to believe that money is bad, and that being broke is somehow better.
As if having no money made you a better person, or made you more spiritual.
And from the time that we were little, our sponge-like brain has been absorbing all these beliefs about money and wealth.
And even though they're completely untrue in real life...
I can beat my chest in confidence and guarantee you, if you have this mindset you can never be wealthy or achieve any type of financial prosperity
Think about it: if your goal is to be a honest, ethical, loving, caring and generous person......
....and you believe that having money will make you evil, mean, nasty and greedy....
...your mind will not let you take actions that might increase your income.
You'll sabotage yourself every time. SELF SABOTAGE at it's peak.
And you won't even know it's happening!
Here's an example...
Imagine you're sitting at a stoplight and a beautiful Mercedes G-wagon pulls up beside you.
What's your first reaction?
Is it something like…
"Look at that guy driving that big car. He is probably a fraudster/yahoo yahoo boy ."
Now, If your response to simply seeing a person sitting in a car was to automatically label them as a mean, evil nasty person...
...what does that say about your attitude about money?
I hope this was enough to help you take the first step to solving the problem:
AWARENESS.
The first element of change is awareness. You can't change something unless you know it exists.
It's your time,
Emerge!!!
