How come the rich get richer and the poor get poorer? The simple answer is that much of this is down to deep rooted attitudes towards money. Anyone who has experienced difficult financial periods may realise that during that time they felt sorry for themselves, maybe envious of others and sometimes inferior to others. Whereas a rich person is comfortable in their life and accustomed to having money, so therefore it comes to them more easily.

The very first way that will help you change your financial luck quickly is realising what money really is. Today we are so caught up in our need for money that not many of us bring it down to basics and recognize it for what it truly is.

Money is an artificially created symbol which acts as a substitute for energies which have been lent, exchanged, owed and spent. Energies refer to the energy of work people do for example or the energy of food which people need to buy and so on. Once we bring this realization into our mind over time our view to money can change so that we have less attachment to it and therefore it seems to come to us more easily. If you are having any doubts, just think about how come the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

The second fast way is to recognize that you can attract money, or for that matter you can attract pretty much anything that you wish. When you have negative thoughts about money or anything else, what you will attract is negative situations. By making small changes in how you think about money you can be very pleasantly surprised what can happen. Be careful not to think that you are being positive in having "I deserve to have more money" thoughts. Positive thoughts and feelings towards money are based in trust and the trust is supported by action.

The third step is to find some small way in which to be practical in a different way about money. This can be as simple as giving to a homeless person. It does not need to be a huge gesture but what it does need to be is based on the fact that there is enough money to go around. Whatever you do make sure you do it with trust and a good heart, and build this habit over time so that it becomes more natural. It will change your attitude and make you feel better in yourself.

The fourth way is to practice gratitude. Even if you are in a difficult financial situation right now by starting in small ways to practice gratitude you will notice how this starts to help. The gratitude can start off in other areas of your life if at the beginning you find it difficult to be grateful about money. Find things such as your health, partner, children, animals, simple things like a sunny day, it doesn't matter how small it is the practice that will influence you as a person and you may be surprised the effect it can have.

The fifth and final way to change your financial luck is to start imagining and really feeling what it will be like to have better financial life. Make sure you are not being greedy or coming from a negative place, but do enjoy the feeling of knowing that abundance and luck is on the way.

Finally remember that we are all conditioned from very young to believe that money is the be all and end all. Money is a necessary energy we need to live our life and nothing more. It has been created by mankind. See it as an energy that is coming to you in abundance and in good, healthy ways. Practice these five ways and watch out for the changes in your life.
