How not to be a millionaire

It has been said that you should become a millionaire not for what it gives you in terms of money but for what it forces you to become as a person.

Earning a lot of money can be relatively easy, and certainly getting a £million is sometimes easy if you win the lottery but becoming a true millionaire is not easy. People who get the money easily normally lose it very quickly, we have all heard stories of lottery winners becoming bankrupt within a short period of time.

Why is that? Why do lottery winners almost always lose their money and yet entrepreneurs who have been self made make more money after becoming bankrupt?

The answer is that money easily obtained does not prepare you for wealth and does not make you ready for wealth. You haven't grown enough to handle that money. Your unconcsious will invariably tell you that you don't deserve it and you will unconcsiously work to get rid of it.

There is a lot of talk these days about the law of attraction and it certainly has it's place if followed properly. The problem is that it is often misunderstood and people think that all they need to do is put a picture of the house (or car, or boat etc) of their dreams on the wall and wait for it to arrive. What a load of rubbish, common sense tells you that that can't possibly be true.

Those that misunderstand the law of attraction are often the most evangelical about it. Tell them that you have a picture of a house up for 3 years and you still haven't got it and they will tell you that you aren't doing it properly and that the universe works in strange ways.

The truth is that the Law of attraction is very powerful but you have to take action, you have to be ready for what you want to receive. That takes time and takes effort on your part. Nature knows this, the finest grapes used for making wine aren't given lots of water, despite growing in maximum sun the water is kept to a minimum. The grapes grow on the borderline of survival, almost dying, creating stress for the grapes because the grapes that survive the test make the best wines.

There is a metaphor for life there; don't wish life was easier, wish you were better.
