Our minds work very similar to computer hardware. Before a computer is able to perform a series of arithmetic or logical operations, it must first be programmed and installed with software files. The ability and usefulness of the highly sophisticated hardware can be severely compromised by the quality of software.
Similarly, whether we have an average or millionaire minds are highly dependent on the files that are installed in our minds. Therefore, it is important for us to ensure that our minds are installed with the wealth files. Only then, we can differentiate whether we are thinking like the average and consciously reprogrammed our minds to think like the rich.
Remember, our minds are controlled by ourselves. We can choose to think in whatever ways we like as long as we are happy.
Are you ready to transform into millionaire mind now?
The guru in this area is T Harv Eker and you can find out more from his book and teleseminar on Secrets of the Millionaire Mind.
Personally, after viewing T. Harv Eker's video seminar, I am pleasantly surprised to discover how my mind used to be installed with the very old outdated traditional file taught by our teachers that we have to work hard to be rich. I used to think that, base on individual’s capacity, there is always a limited amount of money we can earn. The more money that we are after, the more time we need to trade off with money. The more time we are trading off with money, the lesser time we will have for ourselves. The lesser time left for ourselves, the lesser time we can spend with our love one which will lead to unhappiness either with ourselves or the love one. So, to stay happy, I am not willing to trade most of my time with a lot of money.
I was very wrong in the past! Extremely wrong!
This book is very helpful to recondition my thinking tremendously. It has changed the ways I see things very differently in life especially removing all the excuses that I used to create for myself. It helps me to refocus on executing my plan to achieve my financial freedom goal.
I sincerely hope that the highlights from Secrets of the Millionaire Mind below are useful to change yours too…

Engage Your Heart And Your Mind
Great Sharing By Carly Fiorina, former CEO of Hewlett-Packard...
"At any one moment you often can't see where your path is heading to...
Logic and intellect alone won't lead you to make the right choices. In fact, they won't take you down the right path. You have to master not only the art of listening to your head but you must also master listening to your heart. You have all the tools you need up in your head and in your heart.
All you have to do is engage your heart and your mind in every decision you make - engage your whole self and the journey will reveal itself with the passage of time.
The lesson I learned early in life was to love what you do - or don't do it. Don't make a choice of any kind, whether in career or in life, just because it pleases others or because it ranks high on someone else's scale of achievement, or even because it seems that logical thing to do.
Make the choice to do something because it engages your heart and your mind - all of you.
Remember that the freedom to choose is yours. To make the most of that freedom, use your mind and your heart."

Life Is About A Choice That We Make
Life is like a road.
There are long and short roads;
smooth and rocky roads;
crooked and straight paths.
In our life many roads would come our way as we journey through life. There are roads that lead to a life of single blessedness, marriage, and religious vocation. There are also roads that lead to fame and fortune on one hand, or isolation and poverty on the other. There are roads to happiness as there are roads to sadness, roads towards victory and jubilation, and roads leading to defeat and disappointment.
Just like any road, there are corners, detours, and crossroads in life. Perhaps the most perplexing road that you would encounter is a crossroad. With four roads to choose from and with limited knowledge on where they would go, which road will you take? What is the guarantee that we would choose the right one along the way? Would you take any road, or just stay where you are: in front of a crossroad?
There are no guarantees.
You do not really know where a road will lead you until you take it. There are no guarantees. This is one of the most important things you need to realize about life. Nobody said that choosing to do the right thing all the time would always lead you to happiness.
Loving someone with all your heart does not guarantee that it would be returned. Gaining fame and fortune does not guarantee happiness. Accepting a good word from an influential superior to cut your trip short up the career ladder is not always bad, especially if you are highly qualified and competent.
There are too many possible outcomes, which your really cannot control. The only thing you have power over is the decisions that you will make, and how you would act and react to different situations.
Wrong decisions are always at hindsight.
Had you known that you were making a wrong decision, would you have gone along with it?
Perhaps not, why would you choose a certain path when you know it would get you lost?
Why make a certain decision if you knew from the very beginning that it is not the right one. It is only after you have made a decision and reflected on it that you realize its soundness. If the consequences or outcomes are good for you, then you have decided correctly. Otherwise, your decision was wrong.
Take the risk: decide.
Since life offers no guarantee and you would never know that your decision would be wrong until you have made it, then you might as well take the risk and decide.
It is definitely better than keeping yourself in limbo. Although it is true that one wrong turn could get you lost, it could also be that such a turn could be an opportunity for an adventure, moreover open more roads.
It is all a matter of perspective. You have the choice between being a lost traveller or an accidental tourist of life. But take caution that you do not make decisions haphazardly. Taking risks is not about being careless and stupid.
Here are some pointers that could help you choose the best option in the face of life’s crossroads:
· Get as many information as you can about your situation.
You cannot find the confidence to decide when you know so little about what you are faced with. Just like any news reporter, ask the 5 W’s: what, who, when, where, and why.
What is the situation?
Who are the people involved?
When did this happen?
Where is this leading?
Why are you in this situation?
These are just some of the possible questions to ask to know more about your situation. This is important. Oftentimes, the reason for indecision is the lack of information about a situation.
· Identify and create options.
What options do the situation give you? Sometimes the options are few, but sometimes they are numerous. But what do you do when you think that the situation offers no options?
This is the time that you create your own. Make your creative mind work. From the most simplistic to the most complicated, entertain all ideas. Do not shoot anything down when an idea comes to your head.
Sometimes the most outrageous idea could prove to be the right one in the end. You can ask a friend to help you identify options and even make more options if you encounter some difficulty, but make sure that you make the decision yourself in the end.
· Weigh the pros and cons of every option.
Assess each option by looking at the advantages and disadvantages it offers you. In this way, you get more insights about the consequences of such an option.
· Trust yourself and make that decision.
Now that you have assessed your options, it is now time to trust yourself. Remember that there are no guarantees and wrong decisions are always at hindsight. So choose… decide… believe that you are choosing the best option at this point in time.
Now that you have made a decision, be ready to face its consequences: good and bad.
It may take you to a place of promise or to a land of problems. However, the important thing is that you have chosen to live your life instead of remaining a bystander or a passive audience to your own life.
Whether it is the right decision or not, only time can tell. But do not regret it whatever the outcome. Instead, learn from it and remember that you always have the chance to make better decisions in the future.
