Myth # 1 - More money more problems

If you think the more money you have the more problems you'll face,Attract Wealth - 4 Myths That Get in the Way of Your Financial Success Articles then think again because even poor people have problems. There is really no reason to avoid an opportunity to have more money because of this limiting belief. Both rich and poor people have problems. The difference between the two is the type of problems. So next time you are offered an opportunity to create more in your life, grab it. You never know, that might just be the opportunity that will turn things around for you.

Myth # 2 - The love of money is the root of all evil

How many of us still believe that having too much money will bring the worst in us? Some of us will even deny the opportunity to have more money because of this belief. The truth is that money is not the root of all evil. We all know people who have money but are not necessarily evil. We also know those who do not have money but are not necessarily good. The point is, it's not money that is the root of all evil but rather humans. We are the ones in control of our actions and therefore we decide what we do with the money we have.

Myth # 3 - Money can't buy happiness

Are you one of those who believe that money can't buy happiness? Well, poverty doesn't either and yet you do not hear people saying poverty can't buy happiness. Money may not buy happiness but it does buy the comforts that contribute to making us feel happy. Try going without having any money and you will eventually get over the idea that money can't buy happiness. Money is an absolute necessity in the world we live in right now so holding the belief that money can't buy happiness will just restrict you.

Myth # 4 - You have to work hard for money

The accepted norm is that we have to all work hard for money and yet we all know people who do not have to work hard for their money, so why do we still maintain this belief? We should not mistake putting effort into doing something as working hard for it. This is because there is a difference between putting effort into something and working hard. You would not consider something you enjoy doing as hard work necessarily, would you? Just remember you are only working hard if you do not enjoy what you are doing.

You should know that you have a choice every day to choose what you want to believe and accept. Holding on to beliefs that are limiting in nature will only get in the way of achieving your success. The 4 myths discussed hear are generally what prevent most people from going for what they want financially
