How did our mind work in contradictory feelings?

We all know that our Subconscious Mind control over 90 % of our life in each dimension be it a personal, professional, financial, relationship, etc. The subconscious mind is neutral and doesn’t understand the logic, like what is right and what is wrong. It understand the feeling and emotions associated with any object or situation.

Like in above examples, how subconscious mind understand the feelings associated with money, on one side you as a person is having a very good feeling about money as you want to be rich but at the same time other contradictory feeling is you are not happy seeing other rich peoples, even you classmate. So subconscious mind will neither consider your positive feeling nor negative feeling about money because of this contradiction.

If this is the case, your subconscious mind will not develop further thought processes on positive feelings about money because as soon as it develops or gives you some idea on how you can acquire a good amount of money, contradictory thoughts pop up and nullify the development.

How to change the situation and improve the financial life?

During this complete episode, somewhere in your mind, you are realizing about your friend that from college time he was very curious about rich people, to understand the process of how they get rich, what is needed in normal person to become rich.

He was having a growth oriented mindset and always keen to learn new things, which can help him to do good in life. Because of these characteristics, from very first semester of graduation, where he had been given grace to pass one subject, eventually, he topped the final semester.

Further, during an interaction at his home, he had narrated some of the key points as meeting with several rich persons all round in his city, talking with them, seeking guidance from them, has helped a lot to change his own thought process. He has started his own small business 15 years back and passionately doing & increasing it to creating wealth.

Key to transformation

He became more and more positive towards rich people, which he once thought that rich peoples might not be co-operative, must have accumulated money with unfair means. Slowly he was realizing that it all starts with a rich mindset to improve one’s life. We need to shun all the self-limiting beliefs about rich people and also about money. If we have any ill-feeling about money, money will have an ill-feeling for us! It will be out of your approach in spite of all your efforts.

Rich peoples focus on creating business system, which generate money for them. They solve the problem for mass, thus generate wealth. The level of problem is directly proportional to the level of wealth. If you are making difference in life of few people buy your product or service, your earning will be moderate. But if you are influencing lives of mass, then you will be millionaire or billionaire.
