Leverage of the Mind


So I have been reading Retire Young, Retire Rich by Robert Kiyosaki.  Although this was written nearly a decade ago, it's principles are just as valuable today. The entire 1st section of the book is devoted to the Leverage of the Mind. These ideas are then interspersed throughout the rest of the book as well. This may be the single most important idea to understand if you wish to succeed in all areas of your life. You alone have the power to change your life.

First let's define leverage. There are multiple definitions, but for today's purpose, I am focusing on this one: The power or ability to act or to influence people, events, decisions, etc.
In order to fully utilize this power, you must learn to use this power. It all starts in the mind.

You must learn to feed your mind with rich words if you wish to become rich. The power of words cannot be understated. Whether used in your own mind or in conversation with others, what you say can have a profound impact on the outcome. Robert Kiyosaki likes to reference a basic example of this. A poor person looks at something and says, "I can't afford it", a rich person looks at the same thing and says"How can I afford it". A simple yet profound difference.

The difference between prosperity and poverty begins in the mind. What you believe to be possible is your reality. You are only limited by your own self doubt and laziness. Only when you decide to face these head-on can you find the freedom to build the life you want.


It all begins with what you tell yourself. Much like when you feed your body a steady diet of junk food, it doesn't perform well. Or if you put cheap gas and cheap parts in your car, it doesn't run well. The same is true of your mind. What you put in determines what you get out. Once you start feeding your mind with positive affirmations, your reality will follow. If you believe truly that you will succeed and you equip yourself with the proper tools such as education and motivation, your results will surprise you. Read about people who already achieved the success you desire. Learn from them. Decide today to change your reality using the leverage of your mind.
