Boy there are a great deal of excellent posts on this topic and just to reiterate what was said:
1. Ultimately, we should try to get to a point where we can live life fully expressed, without fear of rejection or worrying about what others think. This comes from being fully confident in our own ability to succeed at whatever we choose and to also know that we are all unique, wonderful, masterful beings.
2. Unfortunately, we have been conditioned from birth to believe certain things i.e. rich people are evil and greedy and mean and therefore we continue to harbor those beliefs until such time as we are woken up and realize that those beliefs are not our own and are, in fact working against us. This was undoubtedly the most profound peice of personal development that I have experienced. That realization is harsh and cold, but refreshing and uplifiting at the same time.
Collectively, if we live life worrying about what others think and putting down wealthy people, you are absolutely blocking your own path to success.  |
