What are your beliefs about money?
If you are not sure how to fill the blanks, just look at your money situation.
That is your answer! Simple as that.
You see, whatever you belief is demonstrated by the results you create in your life. Therefore, whatever you are experiencing in your financial situation is directly related to your beliefs.
There is one underlying belief area that shapes how we feel about money.
Do I deserve it? Am I worth of it?
Just like when dealing with beliefs about relationships, it all comes down to self worth.
Some common beliefs that people have about money include;
“I f I do not make ‘X’ amount of money I am a failure”
“I’ll never make enough money”
“Money does not grow on trees”
“Money makes people greedy’
“If I am rich, people will only love me for my money”
“Easy comes, easy goes”
Can you relate to any of the above? Most people can, at least in a small way.
As we have explained in a different article, the only truth about money is that “Money is a good that acts as a medium of exchange in transactions”.
Everything else is a belief that we have attached to it.
If you ever experienced challenges with your finances, or if you would like to create a wealthier lifestyle but does not seem to succeed, is because something is getting in the way.
Consider this; the economic circumstances are the same for everybody. Knowledge and tools are available in equal measure. New opportunities are being found every day.

Where did you learn these beliefs?
How was your family attitude about money? Did your parents worked hard for little?
Or did you grow up in an environment that pushed you in believing that money was important, but never felt right inside?
Most people have mixed feeling about money. It is not something we feel good about discussing openly.
It is not considered polite to ask how much someone earns. Or how much they paid for something.
In one of his books Bob Proctor uses a great example. He says, “Imagine your are in a room with your friends and family. Imagine you look at them and then say loudly I want be wealthy, very wealthy. How would that make you feel?” He then goes on to suggest that for most people, it would be a difficult thing to do. We often have negative associations with money.
We are afraid that others may judge us, think that we are greedy, materialistic or superficial.
