Why do others succeed in the same business while I continue to fail? Where does my "potential" lie? I began to seriously explore my inner self.
After examining my deeply ingrained beliefs and mindset, I realized that while I habitually said I wanted to be rich, anxiety and worry always lurked in the back of my mind.
I was afraid of failing, and even if I did succeed, I was afraid that things would go wrong afterwards and I would lose it all.

The same goes for money.
If there are external principles of money, there are also internal principles.
External principles include things like business knowledge, money management skills, and investment strategies.
This is essential.
But internal principles are equally important.
Let's take a carpenter and his equipment as an example.
Even if you have the latest equipment (external principle), it is of no use if you are not a first-class carpenter who knows how to use the tools skillfully (internal principle).
In other words, being in the right place at the right time is not enough to be successful.
You have to be the one with the right thoughts at the right time and place.

Your blueprint is like a thermostat.
If the temperature in the room is 22 degrees, it is probably because the thermostat is set to 22 degrees.
Okay, now it gets more interesting.
If you open a window when it's cold, will the temperature inside the room drop to 18 degrees? Of course.
But what happens in the end? The thermostat kicks in and sets the temperature back to 22 degrees.
Also, if you open a window on a hot day, will the temperature inside the room rise to 25 degrees? Of course it can.
But what happens in the end? The thermostat kicks in and lowers the temperature to 22 degrees.
To completely change the temperature in a room, you have to reset the thermostat.
Likewise, the only way to 'permanently' change your level of economic success is to adjust your economic thermostat, your economic blueprint.

It is a well-known fact that humans are creatures of habit.
But I don't think you know that there are two types of habits.
It is divided into ‘habits of doing’ and ‘habits of not doing’.
Anything you are not doing right now is a 'habit of not doing'.
If you want to change a 'habit of not doing' into a 'habit of doing', you have no choice but to do that action.
Just reading a book is great, but the act of reading and putting that knowledge into action are two entirely different things.
If you really want to be successful, prove it.
Take action!

Another key principle here is that rich people focus on what they want, while poor people focus on what they don't want.
According to the principles of the universe, the place where you focus tends to grow.
Opportunities are endless for the rich because they look for opportunities everywhere.
The question is how to handle all those opportunities that could make you so much money.
The obstacles for poor people are endless because they look for obstacles everywhere, and their biggest problem is how to deal with the many obstacles.

Poor people are hostile, jealous, or envious of the success of others.
They say, “Lucky people!” or mutter quietly, “Unlucky rich guys!”
If you see the rich as bad guys in any way, shape, or form and think you can be a good person, you will never become rich.
Can't you be someone you despise? Sometimes, the hostility and anger the poor feel toward the rich is astonishing.
It's as if the rich think they made them poor.
“That’s true, the rich people are taking all the money, so there’s nothing left for me.” Of course, this is a favorite excuse of those who see themselves as victims.

Although not always the case, people who are reluctant to promote are usually those who are not confident in their product or do not believe in themselves enough.
So, it is impossible to imagine that someone who is so convinced of their own worth would use any means necessary to make themselves known and promote themselves to anyone they meet.
If you believe that what you offer is truly beneficial to people, it is your duty to tell as many people as possible.
By doing so, not only will you help many people, you will also become rich!
--- p.151-152, from “Millionaire Mind 08 I Create the Wealth of My Life”

The rich believe that even in two seemingly opposing situations, with just a little bit of brainpower, there is a way to have it both ways.
When you have to choose between two options in the future, ask yourself a more fundamental question:
“How can I have both?” This question will change your life.
You will escape from the limited and limited world and enter a universe of endless opportunities and possibilities.
This mindset isn't limited to what you want; it applies to all areas of life.
