Choosing a Wealth Heart
From the rich man vs poor man mindset, you should know by now that your thoughts directly influence your actions. So how do we start walking towards financial freedom?
- The Choice Model
Basically, the Principle of Choice, as it relates to wealth, means we have two choices. Deliberately or by default, we can choose to be on the financial treadmill or we can choose wealth. The word “wealth” is a relative term. According to Steve Down, CEO Financially Fit Africa “Wealth is having enough money to meet all your needs and wants with enough money left over to help others.” The choice model dictates that somewhere between stimuli and response, we have the ability to choose our response; if you think like a wealthy person you are consciously signing up for it.
This is supported by our human resourcefulness to consciously create and act according to our internal chosen desires, vision and goals. We have a creative imagination that enables us to script our future life in our thoughts and choosing to actualize those thoughts.
The knowledge that financial success is our responsibility makes us realize that the choices we made previously have contributed to our current financial situation. Instead of dwelling on that, you can now choose to take charge of your finances . In a positive way, we must learn the principles financially responsible people live by.
So today, we choose wealth over poverty! We start the walk towards our financial freedom.
