The mind is incredibly powerful, yet it must be consistently trained and guided if you want to truly tap its limitless capacity. An excellent way to facilitate this mental discipline is to consistently ask yourself the right questions. 

 Your brain is designed to answer every question you give it. The types of questions you ask determine the answers you receive. For example, in Rich Dad, Poor Dad Robert Kiyosaki teaches that the poor say things like, "I can't afford it" while the rich ask, "How can I afford it?"

When things go differently than you expected, questions like, “Why did this have to happen to me?” give you answers that feed a sense of victimhood and justify a lack of responsibility. On the other hand, questions like, “What can I learn from this?” or, “What would it take to make this situation better?” result in answers that empower, motivate, and inspire you. 

Learn to consistently ask yourself the right questions and you will access power you never knew you had.

In your journey to financial freedom, do you identify wealthy people and try to do what they did, or do you try to think like they thought?

The actions of people are value neutral; what gives all actions value are the thoughts and intents behind them. Two people could perform the exact same action but have different reasons for doing so, and the results would also be completely different.

Financial freedom isn't about doing; it's about thinking. Spending your time doing without understanding how to think is like a rat running on a wheel in a cage. Don't look for the right things to do, identify the right way to think .
