If money could buy happiness, a lot of dead entertainers would still be wowing audiences around the world. Numerous people that “had it made” and “had the world by the tail” before they made the decision to end their “ideal life”.

If the money and fame and toys had produced such a good life, why would they have decided to end that great life?

And, you can find a large number of people that have won the lottery that are not happy. There have been a couple of books published that document how their lives have gone downhill after getting the big payout.

If you are not comfortable in your own skin without a lot of money, that feeling of unease will just get bigger if your monetary income gets bigger. The feeling of being less than is still one of the major things that will drive a person like this right back into their original situation.

Have you ever observed that irrespective of how much you earn, you always have the same quantity left at the end of the month. Just like “nature loathes an emptiness”, our subconscious idea about how much we deserve will determine the sum of money we have to work with. If that amount is small and you get a huge windfall, you will find a way to get rid of it.

Until you change your inner beliefs, your outer situation will not change. It is like having a “money thermostat” to control your pocket book.

In the words of Dr. Joe Vitale, we need to improve our feeling of “deservedness” before we can handle the vastly improved financial conditions. Einstein states “We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.”

By deservedness, this does not mean that you are a victim and deserve to be taken care of. No, it means that you are worthy of great things. You are worthy of improving your position in life and to do that on your own. Not by someone else taking you under their wing and putting you in the line for hand outs.

I’m not infering that someone that has a lot of money or a lot of stuff isn’t happy. Not by a long shot. I know a few that have a lot of net worth and that are very happy. But, the happiness is NOT an outcome of having the money and the toys.

The bottom line is that until you improve your self image, you will not be able to handle big things. You will not be able to take care of lots of money, a good job, the great partner or any of the other great things. Without making the inner changes, if these things come along, you will just push them away.

So, start today to believe that you are a worthwhile person that is worthy of attaining great things. Start taking action the action to become happy and the other things will follow.

Life is as good as I allow it to be.
