YOU CAN CREATE WEALTH
There is abundance everywhere in nature. When you fly across the Sahara Desert in a plane, all you see is sand. For several kilometres, as much as your eyes can see, stretches of endless heaps of sand.
Fly across any of the oceans or seas of the world and all you will see is water. I remember my young son sitting beside me when the plane was landing at the Venezuelan airport some years ago. He tightened his hold on me and with fear in his eyes asked me “Mom are we crashing?” This was because from the air, all we had seen was an endless stretch of water from one of the oceans of the world.
If you are a lover of nature like me, you would have noticed that there is an abundance of creatures in the seas. Who can count the fishes in the oceans? What about the varieties of animals in the forest? Indeed, there is an abundance of all things in nature. Scarcity is man-made. Wherever scarcity is spotted, if you look closely, you would notice that man has tampered with nature.
In my last blog we saw that about five trillion dollars are in circulation on a daily basis in the world. This tells me that money is far from being scarce. You can attract all the money you need in this life. More interestingly so, money is man-made. If you read the story of creation, you will not see where God said “let money come forth from the sea or the land.” God made trees and man-made paper currency from trees. This places the responsibility for the creation of money and wealth squarely on the shoulders of men.
Today, we will stretch this train of thought further to discuss the steps of wealth creation. The very first rung in the ladder of wealth creation is decision making.
DECISION MAKING
Dr. Mike Murdock said that decision decides destiny. Ralph Waldo Emerson also said that “once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen.” The Bible tells us a story of certain men who made a decision to build a tower that will touch heaven. It took only God to stop them. That is how powerful decisions can be. When a man is consumed by his decision to do anything, everything in creation begins to help and propel him into accomplishing it. And this also happens when a man decides to create wealth.
You must have heard about the reticular activating system of the brain. 
This brain function is activated when an individual makes a quality decision to achieve a goal. Its job is to help one see several options along the area where the decision is made. Suddenly you begin to see things that you never saw earlier. Ideas that can help you will begin to spring up.
It is important here to say that a real decision is measured by the fact that you have taken a new action. As Tony Robbins says, “If there is no action, you haven’t truly decided.” This is instructive because money making is connected with taking massive action along the area of your decision. One of such actions that must be taken to break free from poverty into the realm of wealth is to renew the mind.
YOUR MIND
The second rung of wealth creation is the mind. 
If your mind cannot create wealth and success for you, it doesn’t matter how many degrees you have, you might as well be an illiterate. When it comes to money making, the role of the mind is key and should not be overlooked. A man is not poor because he has no money in his pocket, he is poor because there is a lack of wealth in his mind. Being poor is a mental condition and money cannot stay with someone who has a poverty consciousness. Conversely, money cannot stay away from someone who has a prosperity consciousness.
To create wealth therefore, you will need to develop a prosperity mindset and consciousness. How do you do that? By taking a step up the ladder of wealth creation to meet financial education.
READ AND GROW RICH
It is known that your life moves in the direction of your most dominant thoughts. 
What dominates the heart of a man are the things which he has placed before his eyes and ear gates. To create wealth therefore, it is wisdom to read good books that teach on wealth creation.
The human heart is compared with soil. It is what you sow in your heart that grows. When you take time to sow seeds of wealth creation, the harvest will show up. Money begins to come to you from multiple sources and in increasing quantities, the more you acquire knowledge on how to get it. My submission here is that anybody can create wealth and loads of it too.
By the end of this pandemic, the economic system of the world would have been through so much. It is wisdom to use this time to read a couple of books that can help you get a grip on the laws of money, so as to not be swept under the carpet of economic recession and uncertainty. Fortunately, I have been enabled to write a few of such books that might help. Feel free to pick them up from Amazon or Okada books.
