verbal mis-programming

in his masterpiece "the secrets of the millionaire mind" t.harv.eker has underlined that our lifelong verbal programming is one of the biggest roadblocks towards developing a millionaire mind! he has pointed out some typical examples. lets see what effect verbal programming can have on us.
--
verbal programming : money is the root of all evil
what effect it has on our minds : we don't want evil, so it is good thing to have less money
--
verbal programming : save your money for a rainy day
what effect it has on our minds : lets not spend it, lets postpone the enjoyment, since we have to desist from spending on joy, we need less money..........let's also wait for the rainy day!
--
verbal programming : rich people are greedy
what effect it has on our minds : we don't want to be called "greedy", so it is not a bad thing not to be rich. also, since we are not that greedy, it is obvious that we are not that rich. (we wouldn't mind being greedy to get rich but don't know how to be!!!)
--
verbal programming : rich people are criminals
what effect it has on our minds : we don't want to be seen as "criminals" so it is not a bad thing not to be rich! also, since we can't be criminals, it is obvious that we can't be rich
--
verbal programming : you have to work hard to make money
what effect it has on our minds : since we are not rich we must not have worked hard enough. since we can't work harder so we can't be rich. we don't know any other way, so we have no other option to keep trying harder!
--
verbal programming : money doesn’t grow on trees
what effect it has on our minds : any money growing as if on trees is not real and sustainable. also, we must not look for trees on which money grows!
--
verbal programming : you can’t be rich and spiritual together
what effect it has on our minds : since we prefer spirituality it is ok not be rich. also, since to be rich we would have to lose spirituality, it is ok that we stay that way! besides, since we don't think we can be rich, we better have an alibi in spirituality!
--
verbal programming : money doesn’t buy happiness,
what effect it has on our minds : if money can't buy happiness, why have it! also, if having money after all the pains is not going to make us happy why bear the pain!! besides, all sorrow in our lives is not because of lack of money, so why blame money and go after it! and, if at all,we do admit that money can buy happiness, we would be left with no excuse to dress-up our inability to make money! on the contrary, whenever we are unhappy with money we better shed some to be happy!
--
verbal programming : the rich get richer and the poor get poorer,
what effect it has on our minds : if we are not getting richer, we should be getting poorer. we suspect and look forward to events to prove this! also, if we are not getting richer, we can't be held responsible for making the poor poorer!
--
verbal programming : that’s not for people like us, we can't afford it!
what effect it has on our minds : so we must not waste too much energy bothering about it! besides, if we can afford it, it might be a mistake and needs to be corrected!

root cause (words from masters)

"imagine a tree.

let’s suppose this tree represents the tree of life.

on this tree there are fruits.

in life, our fruits are called our results.

(suppose) we look at the fruits (our results) and we don’t like them;

(either) there aren’t enough of them, they’re too small, or they don’t taste good.

so what do we tend to do?

most of us put even more attention and focus on the fruits, our results.

but what is it that actually creates those particular fruits?

it’s the seeds and the roots that create those fruits.

it’s what’s under the ground that creates what’s above the ground.

it’s what’s invisible that creates what’s visible.

so what does that mean?

it means that if you want to change the fruits,

you will first have to change the roots.

if you want to change the visible, you must first change the invisible."

- T.Harv Eker

your mindset

whether programmed to be a millionaire

or programmed to be a pauper

is that invisible force

behind your present!
