Thoughts need to be big in order to bring big things—to attract large volumes of wealth. The thoughts you think must be in proportion to the amount of wealth and financial success you aim to achieve, right? We understand this now, but what else do thoughts need to be?

Wealthy Thoughts Must Be Present

So much time is spent thinking and focusing on the future and future financial success, on building the wealth creation mindset, that often we tend to disregard the here and now. We think about what we are trying to achieve, what we want to have, but we forget that we have to get through today to get to tomorrow.

A big part of developing the 21st Century mindset of financial success is focusing on the future and training our thoughts and actions for future wealth. But all of what we do cannot be something left to the future—otherwise, tomorrow will never come, and we will never arrive at that wealth.

While Jamie McIntyre does want you focusing on your goals and future financial success, he also wants you focusing on the level of success you have achieved today. If you are here, you have had financial success on some level. Something has brought you here, to a place where the focus is on your financial empowerment and wealth education, so you must have succeeded in thought somewhere.

Mindset And Thought Process

In order to make the wealthy mindset and thought process work, you have to think in both the present and the future. You need to be positive and proactive about the future and your future wealth, but you also have to think about the present—about the thoughts you will have today to attract more success and wealth, about the things you will do today to achieve that, the actions you will take, and about the positive things in your life that are worthy of attracting more positivity and more success. This process is ongoing, too. You are always living in the present, so you always need to have thoughts in the present that will work toward bringing you closer to the future.

Future thoughts and goals are great things, but they are powerless without the means to get there. Develop presence in your thoughts so that wealth and success is something that you are accomplishing today and tomorrow, and always.

The idea that you can basically think yourself to wealth, that you can become rich by developing the right mindset, seems too simple for some to accept as a viable path to financial security. Many will argue that they’ve had wealthy thoughts, so why aren’t they rich yet? Sometimes the answer is that you’re not really thinking about being wealthy, you’re dreaming about it.

The Difference Between Thoughts And Dreams

A thought is defined as “an idea produced by mental activity.”

A dream is defined as “a sequence of mental images” or (in the case of daydreams) “a series of images, usually pleasant…that pass through the mind…” Other definitions of the word dream include “something hoped for” or “idle hope.”

When you read these definitions you can see one stark contrast between the two—one is active and one is not. Thoughts are the result of activity, whereas dreams are mental pictures or hopes that happen in the idle mind.

Jamie McIntyre’s Concept

Many people who cannot accept Jamie McIntyre’s concept that the key to wealth is in mindset fail to see the difference between their thoughts and dreams; they think they are thinking wealthy thoughts, when they are really just idly dreaming about images of wealth.

A dream can become a thought, or can be moved to the conscious thought process where it can become an active thought. Dreams are not bad things but you do need to understand the difference so that you do not convince yourself you are thinking rich when you are only dreaming. Put your effort behind thinking wealthy thoughts and understand the role of your dreams. Then you will be on the real path to financial freedom and making the most of your wealth creation education.

To have wealth, you first have to be wealthy. This is the cornerstone of the mindset and teaching of Jamie McIntyre and the cornerstone of effective wealth education. And while the thought seems very simplistic, there is definite reasoning as to why this is the way it has to be.

Be What You Want To Be

You are the person you are today. Without change, you will continue to be that person. And that type of change is more than just a change in the thoughts that you think intermittently. The thoughts you think determine who you are now, and who you will be. It’s sort of a self-fulfilling prophecy. Whatever you think about yourself is what you will be; and once you are that you will only build upon it. You will be that more and more.

So if what you are now is a person who is in need, you will continue to be a person in need. Your need will continue to grow, and it will always be present in your life. But if you are a person who is wealthy, you will build more wealth into your life. That is what you will be.

The reason this is so is simple, too. You can’t be two things at once. Poverty and need do not magically transform into wealth, or transform you into being a wealthy person. They do, however, grow you as a needy person.

Being Wealthy

You can become a wealthy person if you change and start to be wealthy. This can start small. You can start being wealthy today, and then focus on doing it bigger and better. That change starts with changing the way you look at yourself—the way you see yourself. Start today. Be wealthy. Be more wealthy tomorrow. But start today to be the person you plan to be; because until you do, you can never be a wealthy person.

One of the greatest gifts that a wealth education can give is the power of choice (which is really the gift of personal financial empowerment). Choice is something that Jamie McIntyre provides in many ways through the 21st Century Academy. And once you have the power of choice behind you, you have the ability to start really controlling what happens to your money.

Learning To Enjoy Real Financial Control

To gain real control over your money and wealth creation, you need to understand your position of control. You need to know that ultimately you do have choices and you are in the seat of control.

Unfortunately, many people do not feel that they have financial control at all. They feel that all their power and control has been stripped away from them to the point where they are doing nothing more than working for a pay check in order to pay it out to debts, bills, and everyone else with a hand outstretched. In essence, people feel that the fate of their money is sealed before they even get up and go to work for it. The money is going before it ever comes in.

In reality this is not true. In reality the only person that can give that money away to those entities is you. In reality, you make a choice every time you decide to pay that bill. At present that may feel like a very unempowered choice, but with help you can gain the confidence and power to change all that.

Get Educated, Get Empowered

When you get educated, when you embark on a wealth creation education, you take the first steps to empowering yourself financially and learning to make the choices that really put you in control. Just understanding that you have choices, and you have control is powerful. Now imagine how more powerful a thought that could be coupled with some real, executable knowledge. Give yourself the gift of power and choice. Know you control your money and learn how else you can take control.

Our recent posts have talked a lot about us being the company and the thoughts that we keep, and about attracting the elements of success to us that we need to succeed and be financially empowered…to build wealth. That power is the Power of Attraction. You’ll find this also by other names, depending on who you are reading and following, as things like the Law of Attraction, or even “The Secret”. It is this law that serves as the basis for the 21st Century Academy in many ways as well.

Attraction And Daily Life

The power of attraction is simple yet effective. To use it, all you really need to understand is that you will attract to you whatever you put out into the world. In other words, if you think positively and abundantly, and live a life of wealth and success, you will draw positive attitudes, thoughts, and people to you; you will draw abundance to you as well.

If you think negative thoughts, focus on the bad in life, on destitution and need, or the inequality in life, you will always draw those things to you; if you live a life of want, you will attract more want—you’ll attract people who also want and need, and you’ll attract more financial stress.

Many people are hesitant to believe that wealth creation can be so simple, but when you look at the lives of various individuals you can see that this is certainly true. If you look at your own life you can see how you attract to you the same things that you think and surround yourself with. Think about the times when you were most down—did it seem you could never get a break and that negativity seemed to follow you in all things? Now think about the times in your life when you felt you were doing well—did it seem more things went your way? That the bad times were limited, and easier to overcome?

You can start building wealth today just by adjusting what you attract to you. Apply the power of attraction to everything in your life—to your thoughts, your fiends and associations, to what you choose to read, learn, and follow. Be more positive and successful and you will be more positive and successful; and you’ll set the stage for easily attracting more of the same as you do.
