Even though it doesn’t make the news, there is much to be thankful for in the world! Take your power back and don’t let the media convince you that there is only gloom and doom. There are always pockets of opportunty in every economy.
With so much fearmongering going on, if you allow this into your thoughts, it will not only affect your well being and your view of the future, but it will cost you big in your bottom line.
Open your mind to the perspective that creating wealth and abundance has a lot to do with internal decisions and external knowledge and little to do with the state of the national economy. Abundance is a mindset, not an external condition that controls your destiny. There are no limits to what we can create because we have unlimited resources around us.
Let’s begin by defining wealth. Catherine Ponder, author of several successful books on prosperity, says, “Prosperity is more than money, wealth, and financial security, it is the way you live your life and the way you focus your life energy. It is the balance of what you can and cannot control, it is loving yourself and others, it is counting your blessings and enjoying who and what you currently are now.”
Prosperity consciousness allows you to create more self-confidence, self-trust, and self-esteem. These empowering traits will help you generate and create wealth and financial security no matter what is going on in the world.
The definition of the word “prosper” is to flourish, succeed, and thrive, to experience favorable results to get what you want out of life. Ralph Waldo Emerson described prosperity as the law of compensation, whereby like attracts like, and what you radiate out in your thoughts, feelings, mental pictures, and words, you also attract into your life.
The truth is that we are where we are in our life at this moment because of our past programming and because of the information we put into our heads daily to program ourselves to look for opportunities and solutions for our customers, clients, and patients.
History has recorded that more millionaires were created during the Great Depression than at any other time because of the infamous “poor economy.” The people who believed in themselves were willing to take calculated risks. These people made tremendous amounts of money not only because they believed in themselves, but because they looked for opportunities and had prosperity consciousness. They did not let fate control their future — they too charge of their own destiny with their thoughts and actions! We are all victims of old programming. Self-image is created between the ages of three and seven years by our teachers, parents, peers, and society. Some of the limiting programming we received on a daily basis about money were statements like “the rich only get richer” and “money is the root of all evil.” You may not even be aware of it, but stop yourself from any negative self-talk and start to say things that give you confidence. Your self-talk programs you for either poverty consciousness or prosperity consciousness.
For prosperity consciousness to work, also pay attention to the quality of information you put into your brain.
When you find yourself talking or thinking negatively, ask yourself: Do I really want to create this for my future?
