Rich or poor, let's be honest, which is better? Rich is, of course. Wealth doesn't buy happiness, but it sure does offer some comfort.
We all have the ability to attract wealth, we just need to know how to go about it.
First, negative thoughts along with negative people have to be banished from your life. You probably know that, according to the law of attraction, you must constantly visualize and focus on the positive outcomes you want for your life. When someone tries to get ahead, to start off in a positive direction, friends and family, strangers and acquaintances, will often jeer with words of discouragement. How do you deal with them?
In spite of how they may seem at the moment, these folks are probably just trying to help – they don't want to see you disappointed or hurt. Folks usually aren't negative on purpose; perhaps they don't understand what you already know; that it takes much faith, desire, and perseverance to be successful, to attract wealth.
Your first steps are often your most arduous. You should probably avoid these folks for the time being. Surprisingly, you'll probably find that once you get rolling the nay-sayers will stand aside.
Second, since the universe is there, and since it is so big, why not dream in a big way? Don't play small. Perhaps you're thinking that you should be reasonable in your request. Think of what you really, really want. Then go for that.
Don't temper you goal with the word “realistic”. Opt for “far-fetched”. Far-fetched goals are often easier to reach than “real” ones. You've got lot more competition when you opt for “realistic goals”. Most people opt for those. Do you think Bill Gates had decided that his company would be a small, “realistic” company? Probably not. Getting by or a decent job are not goals. They are what everybody who has no goals get.
The universe is expanding according to scientists. Expand your goals. If getting by or being realistic is your goal, why bother?
Thirdly, actions speak loudly! Of course, sitting around contemplating your navel isn't going to do anything except helping to better know your navel. Did you ever look at the odds on a lottery ticket? The odds are millions to one that you will hit the jackpot. About the same odds if you just sit around thinking about being rich.
