This post is about making intentions and visualizing yourself as being rich, but harboring the feelings that rich people are evil or mean. I know that it's common for people to see the rich as being different from themselves. I don't think your intentions can manifest, if you have conflicting beliefs.
I've spoken to a few people who make intentions to increase their incomes, but have negative attitudes towards the wealthy. They say things like
"I want to be rich, but rich people are so snobby. They think they're better than me." But how can you become wealthy, if you hate rich people? It's impossible to become something you despise. It's like a fat person, saying
"I hate slim people, because they have better lives than me 
!" Therefore, it would be near impossible for the overweight person to slim down, because they see slim people as being evil. So why would they want to be evil too? They don't, and that's why they stay fat. It's a way for them to feel good about themselves and justify their lifestyle. And that's the same reason people stay broke, to justify their lack of funds and to make themselves look more noble. But there is nothing noble about being broke!
I don't believe you
can increase your income, no matter how many affirmations or intentions you make, if you see wealthy people as bad or evil. I don't care if you read 1000 books on becoming rich, attend 100 finance boot camps or even have Tony Robbins come to your house and give you a fire-walking pep-talk in your front lawn...you won't
ever be wealthy until you see it as something that can be positive.
When I think of people who have more money than me, I say to myself "
These folks are great because they're giving so much value. They provide jobs, housing and services to others. I like that. They deserve to make as much as they want. Rich people are generous."
Now of course, I do count their attitudes towards me and what they do for a living. I wouldn't look up to someone who make millions growing tabacco, but I would look up to someone who makes millions providing services that add to the quality of life. And even if someone wasn't a millionaire, I would still admire them if they make life better for others (social workers, teachers, etc)
What are your comments about this? Do you want to be rich, but hate rich people? And if you hate them, why?
Also, I think it's important to know, that there are
way more snobby people who are broke and poor out there, than rich. Why? Because fewer people in the population are wealthy. And I believe that it's not the money, but rather the person. If you're kind, you're kind, no matter how much money you have. And if you're mean, you're mean, no matter how broke or wealthy you are!
I like rich people. And I'm looking forward to continuing to increase my income in 2007, because I provide value to others. And if I want to make more $$$ I can. And if you want to make more, then you can too
