Would you believe that saying things like "lucky bastard" can keep you poor ?
It is not as crazy as it sounds .[/SIZE]
I am going to give you a few philosophies that we often preach , after which i will then show you how these philosophies are the very crutches that keep us down .
Money will not make you happy .
Money isn't everything .
Money isn't important .
We've all said them before , and on the face of it they make perfect sense and tend to explain them self . I too used to say them , and even today , i still believe them , as they are true .
Yet , if you have preached these sayings , and are poor , or on the bread line , i am going to tell you that you could be hypocritical in your thinking which is why you are poor .
the 1st thing to realise is the truth i am about to present to you , after which I am going to show you what they do to you inside your mind and there for thus control your life to keep you poor .
1 ) Money will not make you happy .
I have found that people who say this would be the 1st people to smile and jump up and down with joy if they found £1000 .
If it doesnt actually make them happy , they wouldn't be so happy . the truth be said , because they think money will not make them happy , inside their subconscious mind , they program them self to stay away from money making ideas and situations . which is also why many who think money wont make them happy don't win competitions .
[SIZE="5"]2 ) Money isn't everything .
which is why they make them self "wage slaves" .
What is a "wage slave" ?
A "wage slave" is some one who always looks for over time , deals and money making ideas etc . Some times they have to work all those hours because they feel they have no choice , granted that could be true , but then , if money wasn't everything , why do they work so hard to get it ?
Quite often , those who say this to other people can find them self constantly under pressure in debts .
Wonder why ?
3 ) Money isn't important .
Very hypocritical .
This is not true to those who say it .
if money wasn't important , why do they use it or go to work ?
I know , I know , ( don't start because i haven't finished yet ) .
Money is important they say .
otherwise they cant pay the bills ,
get cloths
buy food
pay for schools etc etc etc .
well then , lets face it ,
in today's society , whether we like it or not , money is important .
Do you think people who made their way from rags to riches think that money isn't important ?
do you think rich people think that ?
obviously they don't think that , they think that money is important which is why they are rich . OK some have it handed down because of empire inheritances and blood lines , but other people become rich too , starting from scratch , and if they thought the 3 sayings above were true , they wouldn't be rich today .
just a thought .
So ? what to do the next time you here some one say these sayings .
When some one says to you "money wont make you happy" return it by saying " well it might not do but it sure makes the misery more bearable".
Money isn't important "well if its not important to you hand it over to me"
Money isn't everything "No its not but a lot of what we need to live on has to be payed by it and that's nearly everything".
OK granted , people need love / understanding / empathy etc , but this is not about this side of life , im just trying to give you philosophies that i call in my book "the poor philosophy" ( no offense ) but its true . most poor people have these sayings and preach them outward to other people , but when we do that it also bounces back in our own ears , and if we keep telling our self this , then it should come to no surprise why we stay poor as wage slaves with a hard life .
Now for the saying "Lucky bastard"
This is the worst thing you could ever say if you see someone better off than your self . here is why .
there is only one way to tell you this , and it relates to a time that i was a maintenance engineer .
I was sitting in the canteen with a few others as one does . you know , the typical lunch time gathering of people ranging from supervisors / engineers / production line workers .
As we sat there on that summers day ( out of the heat ) a loud rawwwwwww woooshed past the windows and we all looked out .
A fantastic Nissan sky line metallic blue with massive wheels / skirting / rear spoilers / grids on the bonnet , with a lad about 18 years old drove past with cool look of Simon Templar about him .
A production line worker called "Ian" said out loud 'Lucky Bastard'.
this was the following conversation , note how half way through , he became belittled by his own philosophy , changed his tact on the conversation and then couldn't stand any more and blamed me . ( what a --nt ! :D )
For now i will call Ian ---H which means "HIM"---- and my self "M" for "ME".
M ) what do you mean he is a lucky bastard ?
H ) well he has to be , he wouldn't have a car like that would he ?
M ) Why on earth not ?
H ) there is no way in the world he payed for that car !
M ) What makes you think that ?
H ) they are thousands of pounds ! he couldn't earn that type of money , probably daddy payed for it .
M ) Maybe he did and maybe he didn't . Maybe it wasn't luck and he did earn it .
H ) impossible ! I'm 27 and I've worked hard all my life and i cant afford that type of car .
M ) NO you cant ! you cant because as i have heard through out the year , you have payed for a New TV / second hand car / carpets in your flat / computers games gallor and lets face it you've got hundreds of them . you go out drinking , you smoke like a trooper and you also pay for those other little things you think will make you happy . In the mean time he has probably sacrificed all that and saved for a car like that .
H ) My expenses would not mount up to that !
M ) have you worked them out ? after all , smoking ? over 200 games at 10 to 20 quid each or more , the games machine it self ? new TV ? what about that after 5 years ? how on earth could you ever know unless you actually work out how much you have waisted over the last what ? 17 to 27 ? that's ten years ! i think you would find that you could have been driving that car by now .
H ) its not as easy as that is it ?
M ) why because you crave to much for the small things in life , but then moan at those who have the big things ?
H ) im not moaning ! im just saying he is a lucky bastard .
M ) hhm ? think about this for a while .
When you say he is lucky , you are there fore convinced that "luck" is the only way that he got that car ! thus you are saying to your self that the only way to get that car is through luck alone .
also , you are saying that there is no way you can earn or save for it !
You are also implying he is "lucky" and you are not ! Thus you think that you can only obtain that car if luck came along and placed it in your lap .
that's 2 ways so far that you have convinced your self that getting that car is impossible !
and as for regards of being a bastard ???????????
No one wants to be known as a bastard do they ?
so in a way , you associate people with riches and good cars as bastards . which is something that you do not want to be known as hence forth , you are saying that you don't want that car in case you will be called a bastard .
What i see here is that you have kept your self away from what you want 3 times over with only 2 words ! and they are your own words , and if you didn't believe them , you wouldn't say them .
thus , you keep your self away from what you want because you are unable to think out side your self !
H ) yeah but money isn't important !
M ) yeah that's why you are a wage slave .
H ) no im not !
M ) yes you are because you do every single bit of over time you can trying to earn that money , hence you make your self a slave to earning wages .and money is important to you because you have to pay bills etc etc .
H ) aaawww your impossible to talk too , people like you who earn more than me always slag us off !
M ) but im not slagging you off , im just telling you , that your own philosophy is holding you down , that's all and if you werent so unhappy with your self you wouldn't be getting all those little things from the shops every week and drinking , then blaming others for having what you don't , that's all .
anyway people , who have been brave enough to read all this , im not trying to say money will make you happy , what i am saying is this .
your own philosophies can hold you down , and IF you are poor , and if you DO believe those sayings are true , don't moan or wonder why you cant make money , that's all .
otherwise , i wish you all a good day truly .
to get out of a ruck , you have to think opposite to what you have done for , for so long . once you have changed all that , and have got out of the ruck , then philosophise those sayings , but not before . i should know this my self .
i was once poor with nothing , and now im a lot better off .i live a comfortable life . not rich , not poor , but happy , and happyness is the ultimate success !
nothing can be higher than that !happiness is the ultimate success !
