How Worrying Will Keep You Poor, (& Stopping Can Make You Rich!)

“Worry is the belief that there’s nothing you can do to make any
effective difference.”
- Trevor Emdon

I’ve never seen my cat worry. When she wants something she asks - and
she is more demure than Naomi Campbell on a hot night - and a whole lot more persistent. But if, for some reason, she can’t get her way there and then she simply curls up and has a nap.

Some instinctive wisdom she has tells her that things will sort themselves out. And they always do.

My cat has wisdom we could all learn from.

There’s enough going on in the world to keep us all fretting for a lifetime. Global warming, the credit crunch, obesity, terror attacks…Shall we all get together and have a big worry party?

Fear and negativity, both components of worry, paralyse you. They make you feel the problem is too big. They make you feel powerless and impotent. And what’s more, it keeps you poor!

How can it do that? How can worrying keep cash out of your bank account?

Apart from the fact that worry makes you feel bad, it will not solve your money problems either.

Okay, let’s get to the core of this. You feel bad because you’ve not got as much money as you’d like. Worry is itself a bad feeling, and you indulge in it because of a situation that in itself makes you feel bad!

Now I’ve given you a big hint. The real problem isn’t your cash situation - it’s how you feel about it! Therefore the solution you’re looking for is a better feeling! That’s great news, because you can achieve that instantly.

Try … thinking of the friend who makes you laugh the most … recalling a sexy moment …. remembering a triumphant moment, a loving moment …

You have the power to change the way you feel - instantly!

It doesn’t solve the problem?

Let’s look again. Worry is the belief that there’s nothing you can do to make any effective difference. If you’re short of cash, you’re going to stay right there if you hold onto that belief!

But you’ve just demonstrated to yourself that you are incredibly resourceful. You can change what you focus on and hence how you feel - in a moment.

You can come up with twenty ideas of how to generate more money for yourself in ten minutes if you choose to believe that you’re creative. (Think of a moment when you were). Or if you have a core belief that things always work out. (Think of a time when they unexpectedly did!)

The antidote to worry, therefore, is to hold a belief that there’s always a solution; things always work out.

I refer you once more to my cat if you’re short of a role model.

I’ve included full instructions on how to stop worrying in, “Stop Worrying And Grow Rich” one of 9 Success Mastery ebooks included in Master Success Secrets pack - it’s part of it.

    postive article Mark!

    I find that the smallest effort in making or trying to make a change will ease that worry if not put it to rest. All it takes is the smallest action, when the mind is aware you have taken that action you would be surprised how it can awaken your spririt into believing again…………..kind of like the ups and downs of trying to make money online…..no matter what you do, nothing happens if you do nothing about it ……… kind of very similar……………..sometimes small steps in an unkown direction are better than no steps in direction that is known but keeps you in the same place ……………I would rather take the former, get lost in the unkown than die never knowing.

    smiles!

    Great comment, Ray! Fear causes paralysis which causes more fear.

    I love this idea of taking any small step rather than die never knowing!

    Send one email, phone a friend, add one sentence to an article … comment on a blog even … you just don’t know what it will lead to!

    But taking no action has a pretty certain outcome.

    Thanks for those thoughts, Ray.
    All good things
    Trevor.

    Taking little chunks of action every so often is definitely the first step to making money online. You simply won’t see results if you don’t. I have had amazing results as took more and more action developing my Internet Marketing Blog and reaped the rewards.

    Thanks,

    Worrying is such a wasted emotion not only is it bad for business but more importantly can be devastating to your health.Take your time calm down and like Nike says just do it.Little by little you’ll start to see results.
