Rich people have a different way of thinking as compared to poor and middle class people in a given society. They think about money, wealth, themselves, other people, and live life from a different perspective.

Keep in mind, beliefs are not true or false and right or wrong, but they are merely past opinions which can be modified on your command. In reality, you can select to think in ways that will support you, instead of thinking in ways that lead to despair. This is important - stay with me . . .
1. Rich People think: “I made my Life”. Poor people’s thinking is “Life happens to me.” If you wish to make wealth, it is important that you believe you are at the hand wheel of your life; and that you create every single second of your life. Your financial life, in particular.
If you don’t accept this as reality, then you must admit you have little control over life and that financial success has nothing to do with you. This is not a rich mental attitude.
In place of taking the task for what is going on in their lives, poor people prefer to play the character of a “victim”. Certainly, any victim’s biggest thought-action is “poor me.” In keeping with the law of intention, that is exactly what they acquire; “poor,” as in money, me.
Here’s the simple solution to this problem, which I guarantee, will change your life: For the coming week, I advice you not to sound off in any way. Neither complain about anything using your mouth, nor think unhappy in your mind. You will be surprised with the results and how successful and serene your life will become. I promise.
You can be either a victim, or you can be rich! It’s time to recall your mind power and admit the fact that you create every single second of your life. You create your wealth; you create your poverty and everything in between.
2. Rich People always participate to Win the race. Poor people take part in the race on defense rather than offense. This is actually their main problem. Let’s suppose, if you are strained to run strictly on defense, what are the chances for winning the race? I think the majority will agree; slim and none.
All the same, that is how literally most people participate in the race. Their main objective is survival and security, not wealth and abundance. So, it’s the time for you to decide: What is your objective?
Rich people’s major concern is to become the lord of countless wealth. Poor people’s major concern is to have “enough to make the living…” Few extra bucks, for them, would be a marvel to go!
Again, rethink the power of intention. When your objective is to have enough to make your living, that is precisely how much you’ll get. Not even a coin more! You get what you really plan to get. If you wish to create wealth, your objective has to be “rich”.
3. Rich People are devoted to being Rich. Then again, Poor people are uninterested towards being rich. Most of us have logical reasons as to why it would be superb to be rich. But what about the other perspective? Are there reasons why it might not be so good to be rich or experience the process of struggling to get rich?
We actually have a file on wealth in our minds. This file comprises of our personal beliefs that include why being wealthy would be good for us. However, for many people, their file also contains information as to why being rich might not be so good. These people have varied internal messages particularly around money and wealth.
Few of them will think, “Having more wealth will make life a lot more enjoyable.” Conversely, others think like, “Uh-huh, but I’ll have to work harder. So how the heck is that comfy?” Some will say, “I’ll be able to move around the world.” Then again, the others react like, “Nah! Every person in the world would like to have something from me.”
Such confused messages are one of the biggest reasons that most people can not manage to become rich.
Actually, the biggest reason why most people don’t get what they want is, they do not know what they exactly want.
Rich people are firm about what they want -- They want money. They are steadfast in their belief. They are fully devoted to creating wealth. They are ready to do whatever it takes to create wealth. Rich people get it because they do not spread confused messages in the universe.
Getting rich is not a fleeting thought. It takes solid determination, skill, effort and passion. You have to truly commit to it, both consciously and subconsciously. You have to determine you can really do it and that you really deserve it. If you are not fully devoted to creating wealth, chances are you will not get and stay rich.
4. Rich People Think Big. Poor people think small. Believe me - everything will change the day you will begin to think big. You want to do big or small? It’s totally up to you. Remember, it’s not about you. It’s about living your objective. It’s about living true to your objective. It’s about attending to others.
Most of us are so caught up in our egos that everything turns around “me, me and more me.” I repeat - it’s not about you. It’s about adding value to others’ lives. Again, it’s totally up to you. The first way leads to being ruined and full of misery. While the other leads to wealth, meaning, and success. So, be wise while making your selection.
5. Rich People Are Bigger than Their Problems. Poor people are smaller than their problems. Getting rich is an expedition, not a holiday. It is full of difficulties, gimmicks, and twists. The point here is that, success is messy, and for the same reason, most people don’t take it. In other words, they don’t want problems in their lives.
This is one of the greatest differences between rich people and poor people. Rich and successful people are larger than their problems, while poor and unsuccessful people are smaller than their problems.
Poor people will do almost anything to shun problems. They are afraid of accepting challenges. The irony is that, in their pursuit to ensure they don’t have problems, they have the biggest problem of all: They are unhappy and full of misery.
The secret to success is not to try to keep away from problems. Problems are to be solved when they arise. You should be bigger than any problem. Whether you are rich or poor, doing big or small, problems do not get away. If you are taking a breath, you will always face problems in your life.
What’s essential to recognize here is that the size of the problem is never the main issue. What really matters is the size of you! Bear in mind, your wealth can only grow to the extent that you want!
Grow yourself to an extent where you can conquer any problem that gets in your way of achieving your objectives, and keeping it once you have it. So, do not complain about problems because millionaires are financial warriors and when a warrior faces a challenge, he always says: “Just Bring it on.”
6. Rich People give attention to Opportunities. Fact: Poor people give attention to problems. Fact: Rich people observe potential growth and focus on the rewards. Fact: Poor people observe potential loss and focus on the risks.
It’s a long-familiar question: Is the glass half empty or half full? We’re not merely discussing “positive thinking” here. Instead, we are discussing a usual way of observing the world. Poor people come from panic. Their minds are continually reading for what is going wrong in any situation. The most crucial element of their attitude is “What if it doesn’t work?” or, more honestly, “It won’t work.” Rich people, on the other hand, take liability for creating their life and have the mentality, “It will work because I’ll make it work.”
In the monetary world, it’s evidenced that the risk is directly proportional to reward. The higher the reward, the greater the chances of risk. Rich people are always willing to take that risk. They are confident in their ability and creativity, and look ahead to succeed. On the other hand, poor people always fail to imagine, hence they imagine to fail.
You have to think outside the box. Buy something or start something in order to create wealth. You have to focus on opportunities for success all around, instead of focusing on risks and problems. All the best!!!
