Who Is Setting Your Goals For You
So who are your friends? Are they like you? Do they all pretty much have the same income? I bet the answer is yes. I bet you feel comfortable around them. Whether you know it or not, you’ve created your circle of attraction. I bet all your friends have similar hobbies, activities or whatever. I bet most of this group all think in the same way. Watch the same TV programs. I think you get the point. In the movie “The Secret” they would say that you have attracted them.
I bet they all have the same opinion about money. The rich only get richer; money is the root of all evil; rich people aren’t like us; we’re happy but poor. Well, you can add to this list. And let’s not forget that money doesn’t grow on trees, he must be making a killing, stinkin' rich, rich as sin, filthy rich and that must have cost $1.98. Do you believe this these are just harmless sayings? In the book “The Science of Getting Rich” Wattles writes ‘by impressing my thoughts upon formless substance, can cause the thing I think about to be created.’
Where did you get those thoughts? It’s not like you just took a pill and Poof! these are my beliefs. No, you had to learn them. They probably came from your parents, church or friends. They did this subconsciously. You see, that’s what was taught to them and they didn’t know any better.
So what is rich? Some people equate it to money, but you have to define this for yourself.
This reminds me of a story I heard. It’s about a bunch of crabs, but it does relate to life. You see there was a bunch of crabs in the half barrel. They crawled all over each other to try to get out. As they crawled on top of each other they would get to the top. They could actually see a new world, a different world but just as they where going to become free another crab dragged him down with the others. Life can be just like this.
When you no longer are like them, you’ll grow apart. Don’t worry your family is always there and your real friends will always be your friends. Here is the great news that you will make new friends and you will have attracted because of your new beliefs (law of attraction). It’s a tough one here. You decide stay where you are or decide to go for it. Life is short. I’ve made my decision.
