The most important point when it comes to manifesting wealth is having the right attitude, and that means staying positive about what you are trying to achieve.

If you only do one thing when you are on your journey to manifesting wealth – make sure that you stay positive and focused on the goal that you want to achieve.

Some people confuse manifestation with magic, they think that if they are dreaming about becoming wealthy that somehow wealth will just come to them, but really that’s just part of the process. Wealth manifestation is a more in-depth process, and this is why we say you must practice mind control.

Mind control is about remaining positive about the goal you want to achieve; it’s having a clear focus and being grateful for all the things that are coming. It’s through practicing these techniques that we are able to overcome hurdles we encounter on the way to achieving our dreams.

This is why mental attitude and mind control is so important in manifesting wealth.

You must also remember that you must act on your goals. If your dream is to manifest wealth by winning the lottery, no matter how hard you practice mind control and remain positive, your dream cannot be achieved if you never buy a ticket!

Most people fail at manifestation because they don’t grasp this one basic concept. Mental attitude followed by physical action is the best and fastest path to manifesting wealth. Once you have implemented this, your goals will be much easier to attain.

One of the biggest obstacles to wealth manifestation is when the person who wants to be wealthy or acquire a lot of money lacks self esteem.

Self esteem is more than psychological, it is spiritual.  If you do not feel that you deserve to be wealthy and have only the best of everything you want, it will be very difficult to achieve it.

On the other hand, if you have healthy self esteem and you follow a regular manifestation practice, your reality will be created much more quickly.

Now, self esteem applies to all areas of your life- your body, your finances, your personal life, etc.

For WEALTH and money manifestation, you need to have solid self esteem related to your deserving to be rich and have abundance around you.

How do you know if you have a self esteem problem in this area?  You need to be aware of the negative thoughts and feelings that come up when you visualize yourself having what you want.

If you think about creating wealth and you start to have feelings that you do not deserve it or that you will need to sacrifice other things you care about (like time with family), or if you start to feel like you are just not smart enough or talented enough, these are the “negative” factors that evidence a lack of self esteem in this area of your life.

Bottom line is you need to get rid of these negative factors and build up your self esteem in the process.  There are many ways to do this with just a little work and effort.  I will discuss these in later posts.

Have you heard of the butterfly effect? It is a phenomenon where just one little change made today will create huge results and outcomes later.  If you have not heard of it, look it up on the Internet.  There is the famous example of how one butterfly flapping its wings a certain way in Rio de Janeiro can significantly affect what kind of weather shows up on a certain day in Chicago!

The butterfly effect applies to human nature in the same way it applies to mother nature.  What this means is that small changes in the way you think and behave can create drastically different outcomes in your life.

We have all had one of those days where something negative happened first thing in the morning and by focusing on it and letting it bother you, you release negative energy which in turns creates other negative and frustrating things throughout your day. Believe it or not, if instead, you isolated the incident and chose to not let it affect your mood and energy- the entire day would have been different.

So, it not only affects your day but it can also affect your entire life.  Here is how to make the butterfly effect work to your advantage.

START OFF EVERY DAY with 5-10 minutes by repeating positive affirmations and imagining something wonderful happening.  If I am working on a business project, I might say something like “today we are going to have a major breakthrough in sales and make $x in sales.”  And I say it every morning until it happens!

If it is a Saturday and my kids have soccer, I say an affirmation like “today they are going to play hard, each score a goal, be safe and learn to love the game a little more!”

If there is nothing in particular you want to focus on, you can use a general affirmation like “amazing things are going to happen to me today. . .”

By saying affirmations and attaching positive energy to them, you are aligning the positive creative force of the universe to support you.  Do this every day and over a period of a month, a year and even a lifetime, you will have unbelievable experiences in your life.

So, in summary, know that the butterfly effect is a phenomenon that has been proven in science to work.  Apply it to your life to more quickly succeed in manifesting the life you desire.

I like to remind people of the age old question about what they see when they see a glass that is filled 50% with water.  Is it half-empty or half-full?

Manifestation is all about focusing your energy on positive outcomes in your life.  This is impossible to do if you perceive everything that is happening in your life as something bad or negative.  This self imposed perception is not real but it does cause your reality to be filled with more negativity.

So, when you reflect on your current life, instead of focusing on what is not working, think more about what is working?

And then, when you have done that, you will open yourself up to visualizing even better possibilities. Changing your thoughts and perceptions will change your life.  Doing this goes to the essence of wealth manifestation because it puts you on the right path to create your reality.

The important thing is to do this day in and day out.  I find the easiest way to do this is to have gratitiude for every little good thing that happens.  And, when things do not go the way I want, I always search for the blessing in the event- and this is a good thing.

When I started doing this consciously and consistently, my wealth manifestation accelerated.

I think that a lot of people are not able to manifest wealth because they fill their minds and thoughts with way too much information.  Also, they keep themselves too busy to ever stop and ask themselves what do you really want?

The law of attraction and the other spiritual laws of manifestation are based on you being very clear of what you want and staying focused on those desires without changing your mind.

How can you do this when you are too busy or too distracted to really define this for yourself? Here is where you should follow the ZEN philosophy of less is more.  If you really want to create a life of our own choosing, you MUST start off with a solid foundation.  This foundation is knowing EXACTLY what you want.

You would be surprised at all you do in your life that is getting in the way of your true desires.  Here is what you can do to jump start your wealth manifestation.

Take a small vacation or even just one entire day if you cannot get away longer.  Start off this period being very quiet and doing nothing.  Nature always helps me to quiet my inner self and clear everything up.  So, if it helps go to the beach or to a quiet park or mountainside. Another great thing to do is something to pamper yourself like getting a massage.

The key here is to break up your daily schedule and do something to get in the right state to really tal with yourself.  Once you are in that state and have no distractions, think about the number one most important thing you want in life.  If you could only have one thing, what would it be?

Then add a #2 and a #3 and only go up to 5.  Only 5. This exercise makes it very clear what it is you really want and what is truly important.

Now, notice what you do with your time and where your mind is during your typical day.  If those things or thoughts are not directly related to your desires, then know you want to do or think less of them and focus more on doing activities that bring you toward your desires and thinking about thoughts that are a part of those desires.

This is the first step and a necessary one to creating those desires in your reality.
