Most people, whether they realize it or not, would like to be rich. Those who are more comfortable admitting this fact often devise complicated methods, plans or schemes to get easy money quickly -- and with the least possible expenditure of effort.

While some of these people will certainly find ways to make money, few realize that there is an easier way of doing things; the law of attracting wealth is staring them in the face, and yet they usually don't recognize it. Some of the concepts involved in attracting wealth are so simple that it can be hard to accept they didn't think of them before.

Wealthy people tend to live by a simple philosophy. This philosophy is often referred to as the law of attracting wealth. It is what separates the haves from the have-nots, and it is why they are where they are today. Fortunately, we can all look forward to receiving more money by simply following the easy steps presented in this law.

A lot of us grew up thinking that "all rich people are greedy," or that "money is the root of all evil". These mentalities must be changed, and fast, because they seriously hamper our efforts in attracting wealth. If we think that rich people are greedy, then certainly the universe will not make us one of those rich people. Accordingly, it is important that we never look upon wealthy people with distain or contempt. Rather, we must realize that the majority of rich people are not greedy at all.

In fact, quite a number of wealthy folks are compassionate philanthropists. The world is actually full of rich people who have decided to share their blessings and help those less fortunate. Realizing that money can be used in good and noble ways helps us to debunk the myth that money is the root of evil and something we should be ashamed of desiring.

The law of attracting wealth says (among other things) that the universe gives money to those who welcome it. For this reason, people who are comfortable with earning and receiving money are given what they desire. On the other hand, people who believe that they do not need or want a large sum of money, radiate an energy that is NOT attractive and the universe tends to respond in kind by giving them very little in the way of wealth and material possessions. By becoming comfortable with large amounts of money, we begin the process of attracting money to come into our lives.

Another principle of the law of attracting wealth is that we should be willing to give in order to receive. We cannot receive more blessings if our hands are already full. People who are stingy and become too attached to their money will normally reaching a plateau. On the other hand, people who spend well beyond their means end up constantly worrying about debt and living in fear. The key is to strike a good balance between spending and saving, between giving and receiving. This puts us in the flow of wealth.

Thinking of money as a flowing river helps us to understand that wealth is part of a cycle. The law of attracting wealth shows us that abundance is never a static goal to be achieved, but a WAY of living.
