Wealth Building Thoughts Vs. Dreams

mindset 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.

dreams 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.
