Success and Freedom

Prosperity 

To me, true prosperity begins with feeling good about yourself. It is also the freedom to do what you want to do when you want to do it. It is never an amount of money; it is a state of mind. Prosperity or lack of it is an outer expression of the ideas in your head. If we do not accept the idea that we “deserve” to prosper, then even when abundance falls in our laps, we will refuse it somehow. 

Whatever we concentrate on increases, so don't concentrate on your bills. If you concentrate on lack and debt, then you will create more lack and debt. There is an inexhaustible supply in the Universe. Begin to be aware of it. Take the time to count the stars on a clear evening, or the grains of sand in one handful, the leaves on one branch of a tree, the raindrops on a window pane, or the seeds in one tomato. Each seed is capable of producing a whole vine with unlimited tomatoes on it. Be grateful for what you do have and you will find it increases. 

I like to bless with love all that is in my life now: My home, the heat, water, light, telephone, furniture, plumbing, appliances, clothing, transportation, jobs, the money I do have, friends, my ability to see and feel and taste and touch and walk and to enjoy this incredible planet. 

If you get a gift, accept it graciously. If you can't use the gift, pass it on to someone else. Keep the flow of things moving through you. Just smile and say “Thank you.” This way you let the Universe know you are ready to receive your good. 

“In the infinity of life where I am, all is perfect, whole, and complete. The past has no power over me because I am willing to learn and change.” 

Your security is not your job, or your bank account, or your investments, nor your spouse or parents. Your security is your ability to connect with the cosmic power that creates all things. I like to think that the power within me that allows me to breathe without my effort, is the same power that provides all that I need, and just as easily and simply. The Universe is lavish and abundant and it is our birthright to be supplied everything we need unless we choose to believe to the contrary. I bless my doorbell and the front door, knowing that only good comes into my home. I expect my life to be good and joyous and it is. 

I sit at least once a day with my arms stretched out to the side and say, “I am open and receptive to all the good and abundance in the Universe.” It gives me a feeling of expansion. Begin to recognize prosperity everywhere and rejoice in it. Recognize that all this is part of YOUR abundance, and you are increasing your consciousness to partake of these things if you desire.
