You cannot get more in life than what you think you are worth

Money is not just colored paper; it represents the amount of pleasant experiences you can have in life. Indeed, an author once wrote that "money is the sixth sense that enables a better use of the other five."

So it may be worth it to examine the issue of wealth and how it relates to your self-worth or sense of identity.

There are rich people and poor people. The poor people can be classified in one of two groups:

1. a poor person who's trying to do things in order to become a rich person
2. a rich person who's blocking wealth from coming out of himself/herself

In case #1, action is perceived to be the solution.

In case #2, action is not the problem. The challenge is internal and has to do with self-worth and the sense of one's identity.

You probably have met or know people in group #2: they have talent or have lots of creativity, yet they are not getting rich. In other words, they create a lot of value, but fail somehow to convert that value into wealth (i.e. cash).

People in group #1 have a different sort of problem: they are not blocked externally and seem to be better at taking action. But they also have an internal problem that has to do with self-worth.

In other words, #1 people have not yet found the source of wealth within them while #2 people may have found the source of (infinite) wealth, but have not "unclogged" the channels through which this inner wealth can manifest as external wealth (i.e. products, solutions, cash, assets, etc.).

In short, #1 people could benefit from "being" more; that is, they should not act so much or get busy so much. Rather, they should calm down, do nothing, sit quietly and learn to center themselves and align with the source of wealth within.

#2 people could benefit from "acting" more; that is, just get out there and make things happen. Don't think too much. Learn the "no-mind" technique of implementing ideas really, really fast WITHOUT thinking (that is, without prejudgment and prejudice as to what will work and what will not work).

The key to wealth and happiness and peace is to realize that you are here, on Earth, to fully express your divine creative powers.

Indeed, all the teachers in the world, all the books and knowledge in the world, all the technologies in the world will NOT help unless you first realize that you are a divine entity who is here to fully express your powers. Your life is nothing but your dream, where you can do anything.

This is why my brother/associate Joe and I came up with the slogan "Live a life without limits" for the portal PowerKnowledge.net.

Most people impose limits on themselves and allow others to impose limits on what they can think, say, write, do or achieve.

In fact, other people cannot -- ever -- impose limits on you. All they can do is talk to you about the limits THEY are dealing with, and then through contagion, you pick up those limits yourself.

It is unfortunate that often, friends and family members will do that to a person. The sentence to watch out for is, "I don't want to discourage you, but..." And then they begin a long line of argumentation to COMPLETELY discourage you!

Love your friends and love your family for they (usually) have your best interests at heart, but realize that you are totally responsible for the limits you put on yourself. They may suggest limits but you are ultimately responsible for accepting or rejecting those limits.

Ultimately, wealth is self-determined. It's all about how you feel about yourself.

If you create the psychological and physical conditions that help you to feel wealthy, then wealth will flow into your life.

You won't have the problem of people in group #1, who often get busy taking actions that do not lead to wealth. You also won't have the problem of people in group #2, since your wealth will flow naturally to other people who will naturally reward you with financial wealth.

Keep in mind that wealth itself is only a small part of the reward. The real reward is a life where, at every moment, you feel that you can DO ANYTHING and that there are NO LIMITS to what you can achieve, if you can conceive it and believe it.
