One of, if not, the biggest obstacle we face in our journey to wealth is a pre-programmed mindset that says “We Do Not Deserve to Be Rich”. This mindset has been ingrained in most of us from early childhood. People who are wealthy sometimes are viewed as greedy, lucky, spoiled. In some cases that is true, but for those who are not, the attainment of wealth can create guilt.

The guilt created results in the mis-management of the wealth. Overspending, binging, unwise investments, loaning it, losing it, and even extreme personality change. It’s as though the guilt makes us not want the wealth.  It makes us feel we don’t deserve it. Well, I’m here to tell you You Do Have a Right to Be Rich.

People often quote the Bible as saying “Money is the root of all evil”. Well, the Bible doesn’t say that. The Bible says ” The love of money is the root of all evil”. Money is not evil. Money has no personality, no character, and it has no morals. However, when it is put into the hands of an individual it takes on the personality, character, and morals of that individual.

If you are a good person and you end up wealthy than you will become a wealthy, good person. If you are a total ass, and you end up with a huge amount of money then chances are you will become a wealthy ass.

Money is neither good or bad. It’s how you acquire it and use it that determines whether it benefits or becomes hurtful. 

Our Declaration of Independence gives us unalienable Rights, among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. If the pursuit of wealth makes you and those around you happy then you have the right to be rich.

To overcome this mindset do the following:

1. Recognize money is neither good or bad and only you can decide what it becomes.

2. You have the right to be rich and all it takes is developing the right relationship with money. Do NOT feel guilt, be proud of your wealth and the good things you can and will do with it.

3. Understand that most wealthy people at one point were broke. They learned how to acquire and most importantly handle the money they got. You too can learn the same things. It’s not some magic formula, or some exclusive club you need to be a member of. The lesson are out there you just need to learn them and apply them.
