Mimic Them
Many of us have limiting beliefs about things like money, hard work, and
success. One thing that sets millionaires apart from the rest of us is not just
how much money they have but how they think. This mindset is not
exclusive to how they think about money but also encompasses how they
think about themselves, the people around them, and life in general. In
short, they have a mindset that gears them for success rather than for
mediocrity or survival.
They have a positive mindset.
We have all heard about the power of positive thinking. Turning negative
phrases, such as, "I don't want to eat spaghetti for supper," into, "I want to
eat a hamburger for supper," can completely change a person's mindset and
attitude. This positive attitude isn't just a way to survive a mediocre day but
is actually one of the keys to millionaire-type thinking.
There are a lot of negative phrases about money. You have probably heard
plenty of them. Some examples include:
Money can't buy happiness.
Money is the root of all evil.
Wanting a lot of money makes a person selfish.
Money and wealth bring loneliness, isolation, and misery; just
look at how unhappy lottery winners are.
If the majority of millionaires really believed these sayings, they wouldn't
work so hard to be successful! Instead of looking to these maxims to justify
your lack of money, try changing how you think. Move from negative
views about money, success, and wealth to positive affirmations about
yourself and the world around you.

I have everything that I need to become the person that I want to
be.
I have the creativity and work ethic to create the prosperity that I
want.
I can accumulate wealth and resources.
I can live in wealth and prosperity rather than in debt.
I can be the successful person that I envision myself becoming.
Even better than this is practicing the art of gratitude and thankfulness for
what you already do have.
I am thankful for the house that I have and the people around me.
I am thankful for my job and income.
I am thankful that I am able to put money into savings.
You can substitute these statements for any that apply to your own life and
circumstances. Just remember to leave all negativity and complaining at the
door and practice positive thinking!
