The first step in becoming rich is to know for a fact that you will become rich and that there is nothing that will stand in your way from achieving that goal. If you allow negative thinking to enter into your life then it will suppress you and keep you from living life to the full.
Many people think that they are being oppressed or that they were meant to be poor. Other people, who work their entire lives, are never are able to achieve becoming rich. They give themselves over to the thought that they are happy with their current condition of life. They are not able to envision something greater for themselves, therefore, they are never able to achieve it. So knowing that you are going to be rich and being able to clearly see that goal is the first step in achieving wealth.
The next step in becoming rich is to take whatever situation you are in and to grow out of it. You never see anything in nature simply give up because it does not have the right kind of soil to grow in. A plant will take whatever situation is put in and make the best of it. It will grow to its fullest extent and naturally gravitate towards the light and then throw off more seeds for itself. The only things in nature that will ever give up are humans. If you allow yourself to have this mindset and do not grow in the soil in which you were planted, then you will wither and die in it.
So take the first step into a larger life. Realize that you will be rich and you will be able to achieve your goals. You cannot live life to the full without having wealth. You can not expand your mind and body together without having the means to take the time to do so. So make sure that you are always growing regardless of the soil in which you are planted and reach towards greatness because it can be yours.
