You Were Born Rich

I would have a hard articulating the thoughts in this book without sounding a bit crazy. But I really enjoyed this book. Bob recommends you read this book over and over again until the thoughts become burned into your brain. I'm going to try and read this book and Think & Grow Rich several times this year so all the concepts really become part of my identity.

Interesting Concepts

• Everything you want in life is on it's own frequency. Similar to how you can't listen to a radio station without being on the right frequency, the same is true of life. There is a frequency for wealth, health, love, relationships, etc. Most people are wishing to NOT be poor or NOT get cheated on. And this is exactly the wrong frequency to tap into. He makes an interesting statement: "Do you hate poverty more than you love prosperity? Do you hate being fat more than you love being fit?" If so, you will attract more of what you hate. This is why holding a resentment or being hateful really does you no good.
• You must mentally have something before you can physically have it. He calls this working from a higher to lower frequency. So: Thoughts, Intellect, Action. Most people work from low to high - so they assume their results must also control their thoughts. For example, if they have nothing in their bank account - they assume they must think thoughts of poverty. But your results have nothing to do with the thoughts you choose to keep.
• This is probably my favorite idea in this book. Every thought we have is vibrating something. You could change this language to: Every thought is attracting something. It takes a tremendous amount of discipline to maintain positive thoughts and imagine the best. But it's not enough to work hard. You must have positive thoughts AND see yourself already operating in that way of life. Most people say they want to be wealthy, but they are not operating in that frequency or way of thinking.
