Isn’t it? It shouldn’t be allowed. I mean really where do people get off actually making money out of something they love. And not just making money, we’re talking obscene amounts of money. You’d think people would understand that we all have to be fair. It’s not right for some to have more than someone else. What do these property investors think they’re up to by achieving financial freedom. How dare they put themselves in a position where they actually don’t have to go to work everyday. They should be giving that money away. There’s people starving in Africa you know?

You wait, they’ll get theirs. Any day now property will collapse and they’ll get their come-uppance. That’ll learn them to treat the rest of us the way they do, selfish arrogant little pieces of work, every one of them. Their day of reckoning is coming!!

“What on earth is Dean on about?” I hear you ask?

Well I’ve been doing some research on scarcity mentality and the above scripts are common themes amongst those infected with scarcity thinking. I have deliberately been a little over the top but if we were really really honest many of us think this way from time to time, don’t we?

Unable to celebrate another’s success, we secretly hope something will befall them. Not serious enough to destroy them, but bad enough to “put them in their place” Tall Poppy syndrome is rooted in this mentality and it infects probably 90% of you reading this.

So I share this with you in the hope that if you hear yourself thinking these things you can commit to doing some work on yourself to change your thinking. I was asked yet again today the “secret of my success”. Other than the obvious answer on my website HERE the answer is found in my understanding of the above. I refuse to think scarcity any more and the result is that I find abundance in my life, spiritually, emotionally and yes financially. Successful investing for you may require acknowledging that some of the above scripts operate in your life and taking some action to replace them with truth!!

So lets celebrate others successes today and tomorrow, just for a change.
