This is because your beliefs will determine the ACTIONS that you take, which in turn, affect the result you receive.

Your beliefs act as an unspoken but powerful message to the universe. It is like sending an energy-gram that tells the universe what you want to experience in your life.

If you then take actions that underscore your beliefs, you have cemented the likelihood of a specific outcome taking place in your life.

Are you desperate for more money? On the other hand, you might also be resisting it at some level. Check out these common prosperity-blocking beliefs:

1.You have to work hard for money.

Many of us were raised to believe that hard work is the only way to get ahead in life, so we've become accustomed to struggling for every penny we earn.

We resist the idea of getting something for nothing. As a result, we push away the great opportunities that come our way. If this describes one of your beliefs, you will need to first work on changing your perception that money can only come to you through hard work.

You need to embrace a more optimistic mind-set and convince yourself that good things come to those who expect them, not just those who work like a dog for them.

2.You don't deserve a lot of money.

If you have an underlying sense of unworthiness, you will consistently tell the universe, "Thanks but I don't deserve it!"

To any abundance that comes your way. You will insist that others need it more than you do, and you will feel guilty if you even consider accepting more money or anything good. What is the remedy then - simply LOVE. You need to learn to love yourself and develop the belief that you DO deserve good things in your life, including money. If others deserve it, why shouldn't you?

3. There is only so much to go around.

This lack focus is usually given to us by our parents through colorful exclamations like, "What, you think money grows on trees?". Over time, we learn to see lack more than abundance and such a focus ensures that lack will be most prevalent in our lives.

To shift this perception, you need only look around at the massive abundance in the world. Think about wealthy people you know, or famous wealthy people. Think about the many various ways they have attracted abundance into their lives, and ask yourself why wouldn't it be possible for you too?

If you simply stop focusing on lack and instead strive to recognize abundance, you will see that there are limitless resources available for all of us.

These are just a few of the beliefs that block abundance. If you want to increase your financial abundance, you have to start thinking about your own beliefs about money. Confront them and start to change, and then take actions that will help carry those beliefs into physical reality.
