Is your financial filter holding you back? Do you even realize that you have a financial filter? Well you do and it may be time to change that financial filter.

Let me take a step back and explain what I mean by a financial filter. Just like your vehicle has several filters within it's mechanical system you have filters that operate through your mind, emotions, and beliefs. These filters allow you to process every moment of your life and have been with you since birth.

To make this more clear I could also call your filters you conditioned beliefs. From the time you were born you have had influence from others who have shaped who you are and what you believe. Your parents and friends most likely have had the most influence on creating these filters in your earlier years. These filters dictate your political, religious, social, and financial beliefs among a huge list of others. As you grow older and gain more experience in life these filters can be altered through knowledge or wisdom or they may maintain what feels like a permanent foundation that you will never relinquish because they have been so ingrained in you very being. Now with this all said I would like to focus on one particular belief that holds so many back from the success that they so long for, their financial filter.

Your financial filter processes how you relate to money, the ability to make money, money management skills, spending and saving habits, etc. Those who have grown up affluent have a completely different financial filter then those who were raised with little financial resources. Those who never worried about money feel money is just something that is theirs and takes little effort to manage and accumulate. They were taught financial basics and skills from an early age and have no mental roadblocks that slow down any financial endeavor.

For those that were born in a household that always worried about money or even worse complained about the lack of money begin to build up a mental and emotional barrier to financial advancement. Your financial beliefs become solidified in your subconscious mind and in turn creates barriers like limited beliefs, procrastination, frustration, and simple minded decision making.

A person who has had this type of unfortunate upbringing and current life has little chance at succeeding at any income generation endeavor. Not because they don't want to but because they don't truly believe with every fiber of their being that they can do it. The end result is excuses, complaints about outside factors, laziness, and the worst of all, the belief that success is owed to them. One thing to always remember is you are never owed success but rather must earn success. Many people feel that income, financial advancement, and a better life should just be handed over for free without any due diligence on their own part because they believe they deserve it. You deserve something the minute you earn it. This is not only for finances but also trust, respect, integrity, and friendship.

So the question is... How is your financial filter flowing? Is it clogged and not allowing the drive, desires, and faith in ones self to run the engine of quality life? Or is it removing the negative forces and thoughts and allowing the greatness of you to reach out to a better life? Let's hope it is the second. But if not we will discuss how to change your financial filter and what you can do to allow the abundance you deserve to flow freely in Part 2.
