Global Freedom Comes From Understanding Culture

By Bob Proctor

What can change your life? One word: culture. Culture is the predominant set of beliefs and values of a group of people-most notably in our families, our workplace and our nation.

In every era, there are certain damaging aspects in one's culture that have hindered many to become rich in their financial and personal lives. Imagine, only decades earlier, discriminations against groups of people were justified and left to fester in national cultures throughout the globe. Where would we be without world changers like Martin Luther King, Jr., Mother Theresa and Amelia Earhart today?

It would be an easier life to not challenge paradigms-however wrong we may know it is. Fortunately for the rest of us, the examples of courage these heroes made let us know that it is indeed possible to make a difference; furthermore-use one's culture as a step up to global freedom.

Take a moment to think about this: What paradigm impacting a particular facet of your culture do you want to see changed? Perhaps it's the idea that to become rich in the present state the economy is next to impossible and you must work twice as hard to make money. Look inside you before you begin to judge your circumstances. Tap your potential and set forth to conquer the global market-anything is possible.

Write down the goals you want and all the ideas you associate with it. If it is to build wealth in an international level, it might be international jobs, to earn money online and make money on the internet. Is there a sense of resistance inside you? Are you comfortable with the idea that you can make money using innovative, and possibly riskier methods? You are uncovering your paradigms and correcting them to be in alignment to your goals.

You can either be a victim of the culture you happen to be in; or you can use this to bring you to a higher level in life. The income opportunities that are open when you start to make money on the internet are beneficial not just in a financial sense. It can also improve your quality of life. When you earn money online, often times you will find yourself working from home. Working from home means you get to have more time for what really matters-your personal well-being and your family.

Look at all your options and choose the path that will give you a better quality of life. It may not be international jobs or income opportunities from the internet like we've discussed. It does have to be exciting for you and fuel your passion to build wealth regardless the sometimes negative paradigms and attitudes that you will meet along the way.

The culture you have now may be big-but your heart and attitude will create space for you to be a success. Remember, you can change your life; but more than that, you have the power to change the world.
