Robert Kiyosaki's bestseller, Rich Dad, Poor Dad*, has helped millions to create roadmaps to their financial goals. Central to his series is the notion of open-mindedness. Intead of sizing up a situation and saying, "I can't afford that," he suggests saying,"How can I afford that?" By reshaping the idea, creativity is stimulated, which leads to inspiration.
Here's a list of critical thoughts and their postitive replacements.
We can't afford it. How can we afford it?
That's too expensive. Where can I get that for less?
I don't have enough money. How can I make more money?
I'll never be able to afford that. When will I be able to afford that?
That's a waste of money. How can I make that productive?
I'm not good at investing. Where can I learn more?
It's too risky. What can reduce the risk?
As open-ended thinking becomes more natural for you, you'll also find yourself better able to help others who have critical objections. Plus, the difference in this kind of thinking is tremendous. If you aren't already quieting your critic, you'll find that these suggestions bring excitment into your daily life.
