Keys to prosperity
Is it possible to get rich quick using the power of your mind?
Sometimes, I think the only people getting rich are the authors
of bestsellers with titles such as "Simply Abundant, Creating
Prosperity and Miracle Power For Infinite Riches". However, we
keep buying these books, because most of us have also
experienced first-hand the consequences of a law of nature: do a
good deed and it comes back to you. Do something mean and it
comes right back at you to slap you in the face. Many of our
minor wishes seem to come true -- "I'd like to have soup for
dinner", or " Please let that cheque arrive in time to cover the
rent." So why is it that when we try to mentally will more money
into our lives, the kind of abundance that would have us set for
life, that our mental powers seem to fail? After perusing the
pages of over twenty self-help bibles by such gurus as
Paramanansa Yogananda, Deepak Chopra, Laura Day, Paul Pearson,
Thomas Moore, Wayne Dwyer, Shakti Gawain, John Randolph Price,
Karen Kingston, Sanaya Roman, Anne Marie Evers, Elizabeth Clare
Prophet, Victor Boc and Lynn Grabhorn, I came up with these
basic keys to prosperity. 1. You have to get de-program yourself
from believing that Money is The Root of All Evil. This negative
image is so firmly planted in our subconscious, that we may even
feel guilt if we do get a lot of money, and seek ways to dispose
of it as fast as possible. 2. Love your bills. According to
Sanaya Roman, author of "Creating Money" receiving a bill is
evidence of the universe's faith in us to pay them. Authors such
as Shakti Gawain and Wayne Dwyer even suggest kissing your
bills. Putting them in a prominent place and practicing
gratitude for receiving them, as they are evidence that
abundance is freely circulating in our lives. 3. Apparently the
Universe is not that fond of those of us who try too hard. Paul
Pearson in his book "Wishing Well" talks about a kind of
backlash that happens when we wish too long and too hard for
something. He says that the universe picks up our desperate
vibes and brings us even more desperation. So if you're thinking
"I want more money" the universe will put you in situations that
have you saying again and again "I want more money". When you
think about money, you are never supposed to express the current
lack of it or use phrases like "I need" or "I want". You're much
better off saying something like "Millions of dollars are coming
to me as I speak". Likewise, Lynn Grabhorn in "Excuse Me Your
Life is Waiting" also advises you to try and resonate with
positive vibrations by constantly being in a good mood and
thinking only happy thoughts. Anne Marie Evers in "Affirmations"
also constantly stresses the importance of thinking of yourself
as being rich, even if you are as poor as church mouse. 4. Don't
wish for specifics. You are supposed to have a faith in the
universe, that it knows what's best for you. If you ask for
something and don't get it, then the idea is that the universe
or powers that be have something better in mind for you. When
praying, meditating, wishing, or saying an affirmation for
something you want, you are supposed to ask for generalities as
in "I am healthy, wealthy, happy and wise." as opposed to "I am
the owner of a shiny, new sports car." 5. Believe that the money
reflects the presence, not the absence of spirituality in your
life. If this is true, than Donald Trump must be a very holy,
holy man. Ultimately, the secret to creating prosperity is not
mind over matter; it's spirit over matter. A happy, gentle, and
loving spirit creates a happy, gentle and loving life. Following
the principle of "like attracts like" or "anxiety only attracts
more anxiety". According to Shakti Gawain, the most important
thing you can do is make a contract with yourself, about what
you are prepared to receive abundance for in life. Thus the
phrase "Do what you love and the money will come..."
