I recently read that Tom Cruise and his wife purchased a villa in France for $70,000,000. When you hear that figure what is your personal reaction? How does it make you feel? Does it sound unrealistic?

Back in the late 1950’s my brother and I began our entrepreneurial pursuits by selling our used comic books and baseball cards. We would walk to neighborhoods outside of our own and go door to door selling them to other kids for anywhere from 5 cents to 10 cents each. (Who knew back then those 1950’s original baseball cards would be worth a small fortune today.)

We each earned around $10 per month. The money kept us in penny candy and 5 cent candy bars and we bought more books and cards to sell for the next month. Making $100 per month seemed way out of our reach at the time. We just couldn’t relate to that amount.

In the early 1960’s we began moving lawns in the summer and shoveling sn ow in the winter. Growing up in Ft. Wayne, Indiana we always had plenty of snow to shovel during the winter months. Now we each were earning around $100 per month. I actually was able to buy my first car in 1963, a cherry 1956 Chevy for $400. Just a few years earlier we couldn’t relate to being able to earn that much money. But now we couldn’t relate to making a $1,000 per month. It seemed like so much money and such high numbers.

In 1971, after I returned home from military duty during the Vietnam War, I began working at International Harvester on the Scout assembly line. I was earning union wages and with overtime I was grossing about $250 per week. I was married with 2 children and that $250 per week was enough money to pay for my house, car, motorcycle, and all our bills. I was now making that $1,000 per month that had seemed so far away a few years earlier.

I heard there were people making $50,000 per year but at the time that figure seemed unreal for me.

The point I want to you understand from this is that these are simply numbers in our minds. Whether it’s $100, $1,000, or $50,000 they are nothing more than numbers we think about. What’s important is how you relate to these numbers. How you think about them according to your own life.

Professional athletes, movie stars, business owners, and many others earn millions of dollars each year. Tom Cruise just spent $70,000,000 on that villa in France. What I want to get across to you is that there is an unlimited amount of money floating around in this world and it is available to anyone and everyone with the right mindset.

If you presently earn $25,000 per year and think $50,000 is unreachable, guess what? You will never earn that amount. You will continue to earn around $25,000 if that is what you have set your ‘money ceiling’ at. But if you understand there is an unlimited amount of money available to you in this world, and raise your ‘mindset’ and ‘money ceiling,’ you can definitely earn that $50,000. Your mindset will find a way to reach that figure. If you presently earn $50,000 and want to earn $100,000 raise your ‘money ceiling’ in your mind and search for opportunities to reach that figure.

Over 60% of all millionaires in the U.S. never attended college. But they all live with a high ‘money ceiling’ mindset and they achieved their dreams. A degree does not guarantee you riches. Your money ceiling mindset will.

Do you think that every invention in the world has already been invented? Hardly. Have all the treasures on this planet been uncovered? Hardly. Has all opportunity already been taken? Hardly. Have all new ideas already been done by someone else? Hardly.

We live in a world God created that is full of untapped resources and abundance. Your own mind has incredibly powerful ideas buried within it that can bring you unlimited wealth, prosperity, and abundance. New and unlimited opportunities are everywhere, for everyone, at all times.

Once you change your ‘mindset’ and raise your ‘money ceiling’ anything is possible for you. You can create all your desires in your mind and take action to make them manifest in your physical world. God supplied this world with unlimited abundance and promised that if you “believe it, you will receive it.”

So, begin to live in a mental ‘state of abundance’ and raise your ‘money ceiling’ higher to match your dreams. Shift from living in a ‘state of wanting’ to a ‘state of receiving, and having.’ Allow yourself to receive all your dreams and money goals into your life. Live in a ‘state of having’ all these dreams and goals in your mind and look for them to manifest into your life.

Become totally ‘detached’ from all ‘want.’ When you focus on want and need you are blocking the Law of Attraction from bringing your desires to you. You will receive more want and need.

Live in a state of mind of receiving and having and miracles will begin to happen for you…CoachDoug
