Glenn Smyly:
We watch how our parent's did money and then we make decisions like, "there's not enough money, I can't afford to buy that." We tend to limit ourselves in the amount of money we make to have it be just a little more than our parent's did.

Glenn Smyly, author of the book All In The Name Of Love, and the website afreemoneymakeover.com says if you want to attract more money into your life…

First you have to complete the stand that you don't deserve it - which many, many of us have and so we don't even go for it.

It's clear, says Glen, that how you view money determines how much money you make.

If we're looking for evidence of scarcity we're going to find it everywhere - there's poverty in the world. But if we're looking for abundance, boy it's all around us too - and we have a choice on which one we go for.

And another interesting observation you can make about yourself is to notice how you think about spending money.

We encourage people to spend their money joyfully, with the belief that every dollar I circulate comes back to me multiplied. We changed it to paying the contributions instead of paying the bills. We contribute to the phone company, we contribute to the electric company - I don't want to be on a telephone poll at four o'clock in the morning but I sure like it that somebody else is up there to repair my phone so I have phone service twenty-four hours a day. So, I reward them joyfully.
