Are you a cup half-empty or half-full person? You will eventually learn that perspective is a very dangerous thing. It will either open the door to happiness or lead to a self-induced prison. Negativity breeds more negativity and often leads to self-fulfilling prophecies.  What is your perspective?

On Debt

  • Certainly, you did not get into debt all in one day. Most likely, it’s going to take some time for you to recover. However, instead of focusing on how much you owe or the amount of time it will take to pay it back, think of success. Try to make your debt repayment plan Just as automatic as possible and forget about it as best you can. You are much better off thinking of ways that you can make more money than thinking about what you owe.
  • The above is not a license to spend; it is about changing your focus to what is more important. remember, the more money you make the faster you can get out of debt.

On Wealth

  • There is nothing worse than being mediocre. However, there is such thing as patience. If you are in your late 20’s or 30’s and you are not a millionaire, don’t fret, few people are. Maybe you have a great family life or the physique of a Greek god that a millionaire could never buy. I guarantee if you think hard enough you have something that no millionaire could ever have.
  • The best way I have found to combat this negativity is to ask yourself every night before you go to bed, “Have I done everything I could to reach my wealth goal today?”

Try to think of your thoughts as compound interest. For every positive thought you have today, you may not see the benefit immediately but over the course of several months you will see your situation turn itself around exponentially. That I can promise you!
