Welcome to Heroic Man. Today we are talking about wealth consciousness with Yazin. Yazin, how are we mate? Yeah, good, good. What was yours? Hey guys, So like Pete said, wealth consciousness, right? And so here's the thing about money. Most of us, we go off the money, right? And, and we go after things, right?
But, but what we should be doing is, is instead of seeking the money and, and the material objects that we should be doing is we, we should be seeking to create the consciousness to which abundance in every sense naturally flows through US. Repeat this to you guys that, that, that too many of us think that, that becoming wealthy is about going after the money in,
in, in, in material things. But, but, but what we should be doing is, is we should be seeking to create the consciousness to reach abundance in, in, in every sense of the word naturally comes through US, right? And, and, and so it, it, it, it says being wealth conscious. That's what with naturally creating the consciousness, right, that that naturally allows for, for the abundance to flow through US. I mean, let's unpack this guys.
Too many of us, right, when it comes to the how conscious we are of, of our, of money and whether it's available or not available to us, right? Too many of us there, there is no, we block ourselves to the flow of money, right? And, and So what we want to do is, is we want to create the consciousness right in, in this awareness that, that, that that money is ultimately is, is abundant. And especially if you will, if you live in the first world.
I mean, so I live in a country, South Africa, where the country's population is 70 million, the GDP is 390 million, $390 billion. You live in the UK, a smaller population GDP of $4 trillion, right? So EU KS economy is 10 times the size of South Africa. If, if, if you see that we can, can, can can you see that, that, that you, you literally live in a country where where money is is abundant, right? There are countries to buy, for example, right? The GDP is what, 400, five, $100
billion. EU KS economy is 10 times the size. Yet you go to people will go to banks and say, wow, look, look how abundant the country is, right? Yet you live in a country with, with, with the GDP 10 times the size. You go to the US, the GDP is $16 trillion, right? Canada, 3 1/2 trillion dollars, Australia 3 1/2 trillion dollars. Can you guys see this too many times when it comes to money, right?
We, we, we don't have the consciousness to, to see, right, That abundance is all around us. And, and so because I don't, I don't see abundance being all around me. I don't open myself to the flow of it, right? And guys, this is an incredibly important distinction, right? They do often those of us with, with no wealth consciousness, right? Because we, we, we think money is finite. Our goals or money then become the things that I want to go after, right?
So I want the faster cars, I want the bigger house, I want the more attractive spouse, right? And because I think that those things are, are what's going to make me happy, right? And. And and and and. We talk about this all of the time. The the, the, those things right? The, the, the, the bigger house, the faster car, the more attractive spouse. Those things need to no more than than 10% of of what constitutes our happiness. Repeat this to you guys.
That, that, that, that material objects, right? We we think, well, I'll become when I become wealthy, I'll finally be happy. The the the problem is, is it what we know from from from the psychology of happiness? Material things account for at maximum 10% of of what constitutes our happiness right. 40% of of happiness comes from from our thoughts and our behaviors.
Let me repeat this for you. The 50% of of happiness right comes from either the acquisition of material things or all your thoughts and behaviors. The other 50% where it comes from your genetics. And and and and what? Why is this important? We'll, we'll, we'll, we'll. Because how we see in the world, right in our consciousness, right plays a significant part right in, in, in whether we will attract wealth or not.
Right, as psychologists, right, we, we, we tend to believe that, that, that because the, the, the, the other 50% my happiness comes from, comes from my, from my genetics or, or from my thoughts and my behaviors, right? What we, the focus then shouldn't, shouldn't be on the acquisition of, of material things. And guys here the, the, the, the, the, the point is, is that we don't want to focus on, on the things that, that we don't have too many of us, right? When we look at our lives, we
say, well, you know what? I don't have does, I don't have a big house. I don't have a hot spouse. I don't have a nice car, I don't live in a nice area. As you go live in Valley instead of living in the UK, as you do this, as you do that. And the focus then is we focus so much on the things that we don't have right? That we don't, we don't start beginning to focus on, on, on what we want to create in life, right?
And again, we don't even want to focus on, on, on, on, on on the things that we don't want that we want to do. So there's two things #1 the focus shouldn't be on the things that we don't have and it shouldn't also be on, it should also be on the things that we want to do, right? And again, absolutely fine. I have mine right but but but again. They, they, they. Are in the essence right of why we are here.
And and and and. Firstly, for myself, I, I, I I believe that why we are here, that we are here to to become what we are meant to be, right? Every method talked about this method said that ultimately, right? There's two versions of me. The version of me I'm currently being in in the version of who I'm meant to be like in my life's purpose then is is to become the the, the the best
version of myself. My life's purpose isn't, is not acquiring material things, neither is it to to to do things right. It is literally to become the best version of myself, right? And and and and. And here, therefore, right, we, we, we are here to be all that, that we, we are meant to be right. We are here to be our latent potential, right? And So what we want to do is we want to actualize it, right? We want to be as loving, right, as radiantly alive, right.
This kind is generous is it's compassionate, right? And it's connected and it's conscious resource, whatever the source is for you, whether it's God, the universe or the France beginning man or whatever the fact it it is for you and repeat. Can you see this, that, that, that, that ultimately, right? In order in. In order to open yourself to becoming wealthy right, you want to start by actualizing your potential. You want to become whatever you were meant to be.
Right. And and and and then we want we, we. Want to see our lives right? It's it's being someone that's radiantly alive guys, again, all of the wealthy people that I know have an incredible energy for life, right? They they are literally radiantly alive. They have energy when they get up in the morning, they have an extreme focus on on on on doing what they need to do right. Also, I think is is Erik me and we want to embody virtues. Is is kindness is Gen. in
generosity, right? But, and we also want to be connected to, to, to, to the source, whatever the source is for you, again, whether you believe in God or not, right, whether you believe in the universe or, or or whatever, right? We. We. We, we. We. We. We we want to be as as as creative right as can be right and. And and and and and and then we. Want to see the the, the, the those higher goals, right? Is, is, is there is, Aristotle said. Is there? Aristotle said.
I will summon Goldman. Our greatest good, right, is not, is not to seek wealth right, but, but, but wealth is always an is always an extension right of what Rizolo said. Our our greatest good is using our greatest strengths and greatest service to the world. And and and as. A side effect of it is, is is a byproduct of it. We end up being wealthy. So. So that's the first thing. Right, and and and. And so secondly, right as we seek to see how, how, how we can
create as much as we can, right? What we want to do, right is, is, is, is, is we want to ensure that that, that, that in everything we do, we are literally using our greatest gifts, right in greatest service of the world. Guys, ask yourself in your day-to-day job, whether you own a company, work for someone else. Are you absolutely using your greatest strengths and greatest
services of the world? Because I can tell you all of the wealthy people that I know, right, have this thing absolutely dialed in. They absolutely are using the greatest service in the greatest strengths and greatest service to the world, right Then and again, right?
What does it mean that? Well, it means that as a parent, as a father, as a husband, as an entrepreneur, whatever that means for you, you, you consciously right making make a conscious decision to use your greatest strengths right in greatest service to the world, right? So it's about being right and then giving. And then and then. Creating right. I'm going to repeat this for you.
Can you see that to become wealthy and and to have wealth consciousness starts with being right and ask yourself, who am I being? Am I being the type of person that that that attracts wealth, right? Or and then secondly or am I? Or am I the type of person that repels it? Right and and then. Secondly, am I actually giving right? And and and and and. And am I creating right? Am I creating the life right and and and immigrating the environment right where where where wealth can come to me?
Right. And and and and and and and and. And then after that, right, we worry about the, the, the doing and the having. Let them repeat this. Can you see that, that, that firstly, too many of us, we start with, we, we have it all, we have it wrong. We said, well, well, this is what I want to do. And this one, what I want to have right? And what we, we need to start with with is easing our being right. Am I being the type of person right that, that, that can attract the wealth, right?
Am I the devil's person that, that, that, that can absolutely create the wealth right? Am I giving of myself to the world? And after those things, right, then we can focus on, on the doing and the having, right? They, they, they, do you see those, those things, the, the, the doing and the having right? They, they, they come as a byproduct of, of, of the process. But but but too often, I think too many of us right we we start in in the wrong direction. And and and so.
The, the, the, the next thing about, about wealth consciousness, right, is this idea around prosperity. And as you guys know by now, I, I love the, the, the, my mission in life is to find the meaning right, of, of, of words, right? And, and so I love the, the etymology, the etymology of words, right? The type of psychotherapy that that I practice is literally based right, on, on, on, on, on, on a concept of psychology, right?
Which is, which is focus on, on, on, on the meaning that, that we derive from language, right? And, and, and how our language leads to both our suffering and, and, and, and our living meaningful experience lives, right? And so the word prosperity, right, What does it mean? Well, we all say, I want to be prosperous. Well, prosperity comes from, from the Latin word, right, which literally means to go forth with hope, guys.
I loved it, right? So the word prosperity right, what does it mean in in its original form, right? Prosperity comes from from from from Latin. And it literally meant to go forth with hope, right do do literally to go forward hopefully right to be prosperous right in. In, in, in, in. Its deeper sense, right, is a state of mind. Can you see this that that that to be prosperous in in its deeper sense was not to have anything was literally a state of mind. It started off with with, with a
state of mind, right? It's not prosperity is not a condition in life. We sometimes think well, in, in in order for me to be prosperous, I have to have this condition in life, which is all about behaving and, and and and the doing. But but prosperity literally means, right, like I said, to go forward with hope, right? It is literally, it is a state of mind, right? It's not a condition in life, right?
And, and in terms of, of, of it's not prosperity is not the condition in life in terms of what my balance sheet looks like, right? It's an approach to life. Can you see this that to be prosperous, right, to be abundant is an approach to life. It is literally my life philosophy, right? It's an attitude to life, right? So, so, so we truly prosperous when well, I'm truly prosperous when I go forward with hope. Can you see? This in, in, in, in, in, in and we.
Truly poor right when we have no hope. And and. Can you see this? It starts with it. There are too many of us have no, no hope, right, of, of ever achieving anything in our lives. We have no, we have no hope of becoming wealthy. We have no hope of attracting wealth, right? We are so wealthy. They, they, they start with this mindset, with this attitude, with this philosophy in life that, that, that we have the hope, right, that, that we will
acquire the wealth. We have the hope that we will create whatever we want to create. And, and so the, the, the, the, the, the, the last thing right for today, right? Is it the word that that goes along with prosperity, right? Is a sense of effluence right? Because wealthy people, again, right, are both prosperous and and the affluent right. And in in modern. Society, the, the, the word effluence, right, is used to describe what, what when I say, well, he's effluent, right?
What do you think of well, you think of someone that drives a nice sports car. Someone, someone, someone who wasn't mentioned in in in all the things right that goes with materialism. But guys. But again, the root of the word right means an abundant flow. Again, can you see this? They didn't in ancient Latin meaning, right, the word effluence literally meant an abundant flow. And for me, when I realized that that's that was so fucking cool, right?
They they they they they they they effluence meaning right in abandoned slow. Right, I like to. Think of it right. Personally, I like to think of money like that. Money is like blood in my body, right? Money is always circulating in the same way. That blood until. The day you die, that is always circulating in your body, right? And. Money is the same. Money is always circulating. These all guys, there is always
money in the economy. There is trillions and if you live in the Western world between the European Union, the UK, in the US, the, the, the economy is what I mean like $40 trillion. Can you see this when you start thinking in terms of it? Can you see how much, how abundant money is right and, and, and therefore right? If you see, if you think of money as being like blood in your body, well, guess what? It's always, always floating, right? And in, in, in the blood.
Right in the body, blood is always there. It's circulating, right? Oxygen comes in and it goes around, right? It comes out as carbon dioxide. Right, and and and this. There's a beautiful circulation process that that exists, right? And, and the same with money, right? The, the, the guys think about this. It is literally impossible, right to spend away all of the money in the world. Can you guys see this? They're they're, they're spending money, right? Either 0 sum thing, right?
What I spend right when I spend it right, is it really exhausted, right? Can you see that the difference between too many of us, we think, well, you know what I'm spending all of my money, Therefore it's exhausted. Inspect if if you shift your mindset and you say, well, you know, I'm not spending my money. I'm I'm circulating instead, right? Because when I circulate money, right and I secured wealth and money, right? It, it, what does it do? I give it to someone else.
So you know, what is it Dave? Dave pitches me a a product, right? And, and so I can say, well, you know, now I don't want, I don't want to spend my money on Dave because it, it, it's limited. Or I can say to myself, well, you know what? My job in the process, right, is to circulate money. So, so so when I'm spending money on on on on buying something from Dave, right? I'm literally giving it to someone.
Else and for what? I'm, I'm giving it to someone else in exchange for, for, for something that I've received because obviously Dave is going to give me a service in, in, in exchange for, for, for, for the money that I've given him. Can you guys see that this distinction instead of thinking about it is we will spending spending it all on something I'm literally now circulating the money, right And in exchange for that I'm receiving something else right and.
And and and and and and and. What do I do with this thing that I've received? Well, I do something else with it, right? Whether it's food, whether it's an object, right? And, and and on and on and on. Maybe, maybe I spend the money on food, right? And, and so guess what? Food gives me vitality. Right, and and and. Can you see this, that that, or maybe I'm spending the money on on, on a book that that I read or of course that I'm taking right or, or whatever these do
you get? But can you see this, that, that, that, that whenever right, there's a process of receiving right and and and then circulating right? And and the person. Who received the money from us? Well, guess what? So now David's received money from me. Well, what does he what does Dave do with it? Right. Dave might actually take that money, right? He, he, he, he might, he, he might save some of it.
And then what does he do? Well, he circulates that money back in the economy, right To Matthew. And and and and. Then measure takes that money, he saves some of it and and then he's circulating it back into the economy and do. You see that? That that that ultimately right wealth create. It's a wealth creation, right in effluence, right? Even even attitude, right. It is literally. An in in in. In an abundant flow, right there, there, there, there is no finite end to it.
Too many of us think, well, you know what if I spend my money? Right. Well, when? That's it. It's done right. But but, but what we, what we need to realize is it in order to be, to be prosperous, right? And and and and and and and to. Be effluent, right? We need to change our relationship to money. We need to see that that, that, that that money is not finite, it is infinite. Is there too many of us? We don't have the money because we block ourselves to it and. And and and the.
Second thing, if you realize that that that because money is there, right? The more that we circulated back into the into the economy, the more the more that we that we use it to create wealth for other people, the more wealthy will become. Guys, any questions before we end? Yeah, that makes complete sense. And just going back to something you said earlier, which is a plotting the broken model here of have do be.
So once I, once I have all the money, then I'll do the things that money gives me, then I'll be successful. So I have to be that being the broken model. But the model that you're talking about here is be do have. So be be the man that's committed, be the man that has drive direction, be the man that's responsible. And then being that you then do the things that that man would do.
And then and then you have then you can have the the success, the cars, the so on and so on if that's what you want. But it's B do have rather than have to be. Yeah, absolutely. And and guys, the the the one last thing the the the thing about doing right. Too many of us say, well, you know, I want to become wealthy because wealth offers me security, right? And and literally again, right. What does security mean? Security in in in its original meaning meant to be without
care, right? It it, it, it, it, it comes from the Latin to be without care, right? That's what security is. To be secure means to be free from anxiety. That's true security. And guess what? You don't need millions of dollars in the bank, right? You don't need a nice guy. You don't need big house, you don't need a hot model wife or whatever, right? To be secure. Can you guys see the security starts with the state of mind. It starts with being right. I choose to be secure, right?
I, I, I choose to be free from anxiety, right and and then everything else. But, but, but because, because I'm not secure, because I'm anxious all of the time, right, I end up not not being any of the other things. I, I don't ever get the, the, the, the the having and the getting right. There is no creating. There's no giving for me be because in my in. In, in, in, in. My utmost being right.
I'm not secure. I'm I'm, I'm, I'm so focused on, on, on the things that make me anxious and personally for myself when I realized that, that, that security that, that I didn't have to have a million in the bank account. And yes, guys, now that I have it's awesome behaved, but you don't need. But before I became a millionaire, I was already, I was already secure and and free of anxiety in USA The, the, the, the, the world then should be right. How do I free myself from
anxiety? And and and. And and personally for myself, right yeah, they have freed myself from anxiety was when I realized right that that that that that my job in life was use my greatest gifts in in greatest service to the world. Right. And and and and and then when I. Would do that right. Everything else would be taken care of. Has any questions before we end? Yeah, makes sense. Good episode. Cheers. Thanks, guys. Cheers guys.
