The power of positive thinking is not a new idea, but when it comes to money it is, because we’re still so afraid. We’re a culture of slogans—in ads, on bumper stickers, on T-shirts, needle- pointed onto pillows. Call it what you like—a financial mantra, a new truth, a new belief in yourself—but you must create a positive, empowering message for yourself and instill it into your powerful mind to replace the fear you’re leaving behind, beginning now.
Install it, instill it, retrain your mind to believe it. Write it down twenty-five times a day, have it stamped on a T-shirt and sleep in it every night, say it to yourself on your way to work, when you pay your bills, when you begin to worry about money, when you feel afraid. Say it when you’re shaving, when you’re in the shower, first thing in the morning, last thing at night. A positive message to yourself, a message of possibilities. Do it when you resist it, do it when you don’t believe in it, do it when you feel as if it’s a useless drill, keep doing it until you believe it. Then it will be true.
