The Official Path of Turning Debt into Wealth
Definition of Debt: The unnecessary baggage you carry around internally and externally that holds you back from freedom. Definition of turning debt into wealth: Taking that unnecessary baggage and recognize it, accept it, heal it, and create a wealthy life. You can manipulate your external circumstances, move some money around to make things work, keep changing jobs, and cut down on your expenses until the cows come home. However, until you go to the source of “why you keep getting into debt”, your circumstances will never successfully change for good. The source for turning debt into wealth is your consciousness. In other words, it's the accumulated good stories, beliefs, feelings, and thoughts you hold about yourself and your world. Here is the bottom line: The absolute success and ability of turning debt into wealth relies on you getting rid of your “good stories”. Maxwell Maltz came out with a ground breaking book called, Psycho-Cybernetics, A New Way to Get More Living Out of Life , that tells us why our results tend to stay constant even when we want them to change. He compares our unconscious mind to a thermostat that equalizes to its given set-point. For example, Let's say the current thermostat for your heating and air system is set at 72 degrees. When the temperature falls below 72 degrees, the cybernetic mechanism measures the change in temperature and kicks on to heat the room back up to 72 degrees. Likewise, when the room temperature rises about 72 degrees, the air conditioning kicks on to cool the room back to 72 degrees. The set point for this mechanism is 72 degrees and it will not remain over or below the set temperature. Here's the point: Your results are a direct reflection of your unconscious programming (habits). The beliefs and good stories you hold about yourself, others, and the world is the cybernetic mechanism that keeps your results constant. When you change the thermostat (the cybernetic mechanism) you can the temperature (unconscious programming) in the room (results). Maltz's work explains that we all have an internal psychological thermostat set to a certain comfort level. When that comfort level falls below its set standard, your habitual programming kicks in to bring it back up to its comfort level. Likewise, if you wander outside your comfort zone and try rising to new comfort levels, your internal psychological thermostat will kick on and bring you back to your old comfort level. This is why most people have a hard time changing their results-------they are unaware of their unconscious programming, their cybernetic mechanism, and how to change all of them. Turning debt into wealth and changing your life forever is all about being aware of your good stories and beliefs, changing those good stories and beliefs, and producing new results. As I explained in the debt to wealth article, your good stories are the meaning that you attach to your thoughts, feelings, and current circumstances. Change the good story (your cybernetic mechanism) and change your life! At one point in my life I had zero money in the bank and a load of bills to pay. It felt like I was stuck in a never ending loop of living paycheck to paycheck. Every time I would earn a lump sum of money it would all slip away in a matter of days. After some self discovery, I realized that I had some unconscious programming going on that was keeping me stuck. When I would earn 2,000 to 3,000 dollars some months, my cybernetic mechanism kicked in, measured how far it was from my unconscious set point, and brought me back to my psychological comfort level. Then one day, I was learning the power of beliefs while reading “Psycho-Cybernetics”. I had one of those “Ah-ha” moments and decided to question my thinking. Are we really are thoughts? Do we become what we think about all day long? Is my total belief system running my life? Your thoughts are meaningless unless you have a story attached to them. That story you hold can either pick you up to success or your story can kept you stuck-----you get to pick! My past good stories kept me stuck and I didn't even know about it until I heard the concept of having good stories. So, I decided to try a blend of processes that I came up with and I asked myself, “What am I unhappy about?” In that particular case I was unhappy about not having any money, so my answer was: “Not having any money.” Then, I asked, “What good stories am I holding onto?” Or, in other words, write down all the reasons you believe you don't have any money. Man! Did I have a lot of good stories! I can remember some of them because I always kept a journal of my experiences, thoughts, and ideas. Now I don't believe in these anymore, but some of them were: - I just don't have the money.
- I'm broke.
- Must of not been the right timing.
- I guess I don't have enough experience.
- Maybe I'm not worthy of earning a lot of money.
and so on and so on... Those were my good stories and they were holding me back. Afterward, I took those good stories and asked myself “who would I be without those good stories?” Some of the answers were: - I would have plenty of money.
- I would always have abundance and excess.
- The timing is always right.
- I am worthy and I was created in the likeness of God.
and so on... You must dig deep down inside and listen for the answers. Also, just taking the opposite of your good stories is a way to realize who you would be without those good stories. Now we have to heal those good stories. Look for 3 references of each “who you would be without..” answer that you put down. Those references could of been a time in your life or part of a persons life that you know of. The point is that you clearly see that everything you want does exist in your life, even if someone else has it. If your wants already exist in this Universe, then you can certainly have whatever it is you desire. To begin turning debt into wealth you must practice letting go of your good stories because it creates freedom. Not just financially, but in any area of your wealth. The more you free yourself from those limiting stories, the clearer your mind will be. A clear consciousness creates happiness and love---the two most powerful vibrations for attracting wealth.
