# 2 How Much Do You Want

*lets deal with that debt*

For you to say, I want “a bunch of money” isn’t good enough, because no one, least of all the subconscious mind, knows how much “a bunch of money” is. If you have ever made this statement without defining the word, “BUNCH,” those words are not working for you. Everything we speak has ears and energy to accomplish what it means. If a word is means nothing or is not defined it has nothing to accomplish.

Money is valuable. It has value. Therefore, give your amount a value. As Christians, we know that God is very specific. When we read His Word there is little room for imagination. He is very informative. This is the same way He has created us to be.

Understand that thinking, by itself, is not enough—you must move into action. We know that FAITH Without WORKS Is DEAD. You can believe in our heart all you want to but you have to apply your beliefs to something. You have to do something about your thoughts. Sitting at home dreaming and talking about it and writing it down without taking steps forward to make it a reality is just a dream that will eventually VANISH AWAY.

Now you are getting it. You want to live better than that. Say to yourself, OUT LOUD, “I WANT TO LIVE BETTER THAN THAT.”

“That” is that lifestyle you do not want.

“That” is poverty and living below your means.

“That” is living paycheck to paycheck.

“That” is that person you thought about or that area in the city where you know breeds poverty, crime, and hate. Remember, you love people.

Keep in mind there are only two ways to earn money: people at work, or money at work.

“Attitude.”   You ATTITUDE determines your ALTITUDE. How high are you willing to go, or allow God to carry you? Being humble and remaining teachable is key to elevation.

We tend to minimize the things we can do, the goals we can reach, and yet, for some equally strange reason, we think others can do things that we cannot. Know that that is not true. 

You do have deep reservoirs of talent and ability within you, and you can have the things you want.

You were “Born Rich” in the sense of having the God-given potential to succeed (everyone is), but like most people, they were at one time short of money. Did you know that a person can become wealthy, even if he or she never earns any more money than they are earning currently. 

How you ask? Because they pay God first, then themselves, before they pay anyone else.

Living life to the fullest requires money. It is you who is in charge of your finances, not your creditors! 

Now give yourself a good “pat on the back,” because as of this moment, you are well on your way to starting a completely new way of life!

That is to say, wealthy individuals follow the advice of financial experts. It is similar in principle to the idea that if a person’s body were sick, he or she would likely seek out a skilled physician for advice. Moreover, you should also keep in mind that even healthy people, if they are wise, periodically go to a doctor for a checkup. In other words, you do not always need to get sick in order to get better. 

Repeat—I AM WEALTHY; MONEY IS GOOD; I USE MONEY AND I LOVE PEOPLE.
