The Secret Visualization Tool
Tuesday, August 19th, 2008A prosperity consciousness was not something I grew up with. I grew up with statements like, “what do you think your last name is: Rockefeller!!!” or “money doesn’t grow on trees.” We all have paradigms about money. We all have messages we were told about money. What were yours?
I never really thought much about money. I have spent the first half of my career in the helping professions as a adolescent counselor and as a therapist. I used to joke that going to social work school was an entrance into poverty. And I suppose I really believed that but didnt’ care to change the focus of my work.
Bob Proctor helped me reframe my thinking about money. He said, “Money is only used for two things. One, it’s to make you comfortable, and the more comfortable you are, the more creative you will become. And the other purpose is it enables you to extend the service you provide far beyond your own presence.”
And he is right. It is hard to have a giving spirit, a spirit of opulence, when you are worried if you can keep your house or pay your bills. So many people today are struggling to make ends meet, to change the way they think about money.
The people from The Secret put out a visualization tool that I found very powerful. I include it here in case you want to revisit and revise your money paradigm.
