Do You Feel Sorry For Yourself?

 Glorious morning!

Today’s quote comes from T. Harv Eker.

“ Rich people believe “ I create life “ Poor people believe life happens to me “.

What does that even mean “life happens to me ?’ Lets learn a bit about the man behind the quote before diving in.T Harv Eker was born in 1954. He is an author, and a motivational speaker known for his ideas about wealth and motivation. He is the author of the book. The Millionaire's Mind.

What this quote says to me is, in order to be financially successful, we can't have a victim mindset. I believe a victim mindset is formed by the belief that life happens to them instead of for them. When we look at challenges in our life as a burden that was thrust upon us, we feel life is unfair and then carry a low vibration of resentment. Sometimes that resentment is at God and sometimes to people who have more than us, monetarily speaking. They look at life as the lotto and just don't have the winning numbers. The truth is, anyone can have anything they want if they believe they can.

Making your dreams come true can't happen with a victim mindset. If one believes that others are just lucky then they will wait and hope for their dreams to come true, instead of pursuing those dreams. When we can look at our challenges as a teacher that is trying to get our attention to do something different, then our possibilities grow. When we look at challenges as “ poor me I never get a break” then the possibility that is created is “ I will never get a break” That leaves a pretty bleak and unmotivated future. If we add the equation of the law of attraction, then people with a victim mindset are in for a sad awakening. If like attracts like, well, dislike attracts dislike. What we think and do is what makes up our reality, so if we are thinking poorly and acting and accepting being poor , then we will forever remain poor. There are so many stories out there that are actual real examples of people who have literally been homeless and living in their car and decided they were not going to stay that way, in fact they declared they were not going to live helplessly in their car and accept the reality they were experiencing. They started taking action steps in the direction of their dreams and little by little became multi millionaires.

The famous Jim Carrey is one of them. His family became homeless when he was a teenager and lived in the family Volkswagen van and Jim and his brother also spent time living in a tent at a park near his hometown. Now there is a guy who refuses to feel sorry for himself , obviously. Jim’s life could have gone several different ways. It was Jim's thoughts and actions that got him where he is today. Jim believed it was possible to do what he loved and make an amazing living. He actually wrote out a check to himself for a million dollars as a type of vision board for himself. He superseded that million dollars and went on to make millions. Robert Kiyosaki is another person who was homeless with his wife and lived in their car for a while. He had a winner mindset and refused to accept his circumstances and went on to become a multi millionaire who today his net worth is 100 million. He actually wrote books on how to do exactly what he did to achieve such financial success. One of those books is called cashflow quadrant.

Usually our victim mindsets are passed down from our caregivers and we are not even aware that it's hindering our dreams and success. To break out of a victim mindset doesn't happen overnight, but what's the alternative right? Taking time to be grateful for what we already have and working towards financial success without the pity parties is imperative to achieving success. Just ask Jim and Robert while they were living in their cars if they kept having pity parties. Impossible.
