“Being Aware” of Prosperity

The capacity to “know” you’re prosperous — even when you don’t yet feel like you are — is a particularly difficult facet of learning to attract riches.

It’s simple to feel like your efforts to attract what you want are futile when your external circumstances constantly reflecting the illusion of lack. But it’s precisely that anger that will keep you trapped in a never-ending loop of lack.

With the help of your strong will, you can release yourself from the prison of scarcity. To what end do you put your efforts towards fostering a state of scarcity?

How? – By giving it your whole attention and keeping it at the forefront of your mind at all times.

– By repeatedly recognizing its presence in your life.

How? – By bringing it up in conversation with other people.

– By taking on the world’s scarcity as your own.

The more you dwell on your own lack, the more of it you will feel drawn to seek out.

The good news is that by shifting your attention to the opposite end of the spectrum, you can utilize the same technique to bring wealth and success into your life.

Always keep plenty of money and success in your thoughts. But do so NOT from a position of lack, fear, or anxiety, but rather with the optimism, joy, and self-assurance born of knowing that everything you seek is already yours.

Repeat to yourself again and over that you are a magnet for wealth and that good fortune comes to you effortlessly.

It’s important to let other people know about the good things in your life. Instead of griping about the negatives, you should spread the positives and encourage those around you to do the same.

Focus on the vast resources available to you at all times. All the things, people, and good fortune in your life count, but so do the outward signs of prosperity you find in the world. Instead of being jealous of the wealthy, think of it as though the universe has held up a mirror to show you that YOU, too, can become wealthy and successful.

Most essential, cultivate the “knowing” that you have as much control over your level of success and happiness as you do over your level of failure and hardship.

Perhaps you don’t think you’ve actively chosen poverty and hardship for yourself (after all, who would? ), but it’s easy to make such a decision unconsciously. If you don’t actively work for financial success, you might as well sit in the trunk of your car and expect it to take you where you want to go. No, seriously, you have to DRIVE.

The following affirmation is one that can be repeated numerous times a day:

“I CHOOSE the harmonious flow of riches and abundance NOW because I am a powerful creator in my own right.”

You could feel dishonest at first, when you start speaking it. It’s because you don’t truly believe that you “know” such a thing to be true. But persist anyhow. Eventually, you will start to believe the affirmation you have been repeating to yourself if you keep saying it with an authoritative and confident tone.

And when it happens, you’ll see the changes in your external circumstances that bring you the success and fulfillment you “know” you deserve.

Don’t Re-invent the Wheel

Journal, Learning, Positive Life

When was the last time a light bulb went out at your home? We no longer have to construct a light bulb because of Thomas Edison’s work. Grab a spare or go to the store, and you’re done.

Surely you are aware that Thomas Edison had to make many, many attempts before he came up with the light bulb. When someone asked him whether he was disheartened by his failures, he replied that he was not. There was no failure in his reply: “I’ve discovered another method of how not to create a light bulb”.

There is no such thing as failure, only outcomes. Insanity, according to one definition, is doing the same thing over and again and expecting a different outcome.

We need to make some adjustments to our daily routines if we want our lives to run smoothly.

We, too, have the potential to go out like a light bulb. There are times in our lives when we feel as though there is no light or hope to be found. It’s a bleak scene, to say the least.

Please allow me to shed a little light on this (pun intended). When we’re in the depths of despair, we need light to help us find our way out. While some of us are fortunate enough to have a source of light, others must leave their homes to find it.

Thoughtful thinking may go a long way, but it can only go so far for certain people. Just a little bit of light comes from it. People are in a quandary as to how to use the additional light that is now accessible.

All problems can be solved.

What’s the best way to locate the answer? It’s our choice whether or not we try to figure it out on our own, or whether we look for someone who has previously overcome this difficulty and benchmark their example.

A wide variety of media are available nowadays that might assist us in overcoming the challenges we face in our daily lives. We must study the mistakes of others in order to improve our own lives. There is a lot of wisdom to be gained from those who have been there and done that. We are lucky to have had some of the greatest philosophers in history to look up to.

There’s always room for improvement in our lives. As difficult as it may be at times, there is always hope and assistance available.

When you’re feeling down and life seems gloomy, do something for someone else without any expectations. You may also look to those notable examples in life and use them to get yourself back on track.

Let the light shine within you instead of trying to re-invent the wheel.

Cultivating An Abundance Attitude

Journal, Positive Life, Self Discovery

It’s tempting when you’re struggling with money issues to think that this really is a cruel unfriendly world. There you are, working your ass off, and it’s all money out, out, out, leaving you constantly looking at your bank account while others around you “seem” to have anything and everything they want.

But just as the sun seems to move around the earth rather than the earth around the sun, that’s just an illusion. I’m going to show you that, despite your tight financial circumstances, you are infinitely richer than you think. And that, when you discover just how abundant your life is, your financial situation will dramatically change as well.

We tend to think that abundance, or wealth, or riches, or the flow of all good things, is confined to having money. Well, it isn’t. Here are six other kinds of abundance that are almost certainly available to you right now, without any investment or effort on your part. Once you focus on these areas of abundance, you will find that your AA, or “Abundance Attitude” will automatically trigger a corresponding reaction in the state of your finances and make you abundant financially as well.

Creative Abundance. Even if you don’t have a nickel, penny or a yen to your name, you can still have a torrent of great ideas. The truth of the matter is, while “God” did not create money, (it’s purely a human concept), It did create a thought-based Universe. There are no limits to your thoughts. You can have as many as you want. You can make them as grand as you want. Your thoughts literally travel around the Universe and even, say some, through all time. Allow yourself to dream of what you can bring into this world and you’ll realize how abundant you really are. More to the point, all your money-spinning ideas come from your thoughts. It’s a huge, free and endlessly renewable resource so why not use it.

Choice Abundance. Unless you are reading this from a jail cell, you are a free person, with free will, and free choices about how to live your life. So, if your present circumstances are not what you want, all you have to do is change your choices for something else and you’ll get a different result. Choose another habit, another action, another way of working, another style, another task, another location, another venture. You have an abundance of choices in every moment of your life. Choose wisely.

Gifts Abundance. Many people who remain poor in their lives do so because they don’t realize how gifted they really are. They are locked in to a victim mentality where a number of excuses are used to explain why they don’t have what they want. There’s the excuse of “I’m not good enough” or “I’m not wealthy enough” or “I’m not lucky enough” or any other similar phrase. The truth is that “God” has not singled out anyone to have more gifts than anyone else. We are all uniquely – and abundantly – gifted. Once you find out what your gifts are – through a process of experience, trial and error, feedback from others, and honest self-assessment – then you’ll find yourself in an Aladdin’s cave of treasure that will grant you endless wishes for the rest of your life. You are abundantly talented, so find them and use them.

Health Abundance. Even if you find yourself down on your luck financially, there’s no reason why you cannot bask in the glow of abundant health. One of the ironies of modern life is that many people are caught in the trap of working long hours in order to have enough money to buy the antidotes to the stressful and unhealthy lifestyle they lead. They work to excess so that they can buy the holidays they need to recover from their excessive working. The fact is, you were meant to live a healthy and abundant life, full of energy and vitality. It is your birthright. If you seek out how to live the abundantly healthy lifestyle you were meant to live, it may well be the financially wealthy who envy you!

Love Abundance. The idea that we are all abundant in love may sound sentimental, but there is no getting away from the fact that, while your capacity to earn has limits – even for the super-wealthy – your capacity to love and be loved is without limits. When you uncork the Love stoppers in your life, you release such a flow of good things for yourself and others that it’s like champagne all the way. Give and show love to those who are important to you. Love strangers rather than fearing or judging them. Love every creature you share this planet with. Love what you do each day. And most of all love yourself. Don’t be sentimental about it. Love is the most powerful force in the universe. And there are no limits to it if you’ll just let yourself do it.

Material Abundance. Our modern age has brainwashed most people into believing that without money they are not materially rich. This is simply a trick of clever marketing aimed at making the perpetrators of the myth money-rich themselves. The truth is that you came to enjoy the fruits of the earth in abundance whether you have money or not. You simply don’t need a big house, a big yacht, a villa in Spain, a six-figure income, and four holidays a year to enjoy abundance. And the place to look? Well, it’s not in the man-made malls and supermarkets. It’s in nature. Wander through a wood in autumn and see the sheer abundance of food for free. Walk along a beach after a stormy sea to see what has been given you for free. Turn your small garden patch into a summertime larder. Look at the wonders of nature and you’ll never again believe that you must have lots of money to live happily and well.

And now for the key to your financial future. When you focus on these six areas of super-abundance – your endless gift for creativity, your infinite range of life choices, your unique talents, your inalienable right to health, your unlimited capacity to love, and the cornucopia of the natural world – you cannot help but live a wonderfully abundant life. If you really believe that abundance and wealth is already yours, you will create the seventh abundance with astonishing ease. And money will flow into your life as if by magic.

Ways To Instantly Access Your Natural Creativity

Journal

1. Think Like A Child. as adults we tend to think in a conditioned way aimed at showing how clever we are. Yet, as children, we were simply spontaneous and far more creative in our thinking. To re-capture your childhood curiosity, allow yourself to just wonder at things, to be completely present in the here and now, and to detach yourself from what you thought was real.

2. Make New Connections. to be innovative doesn’t require a university degree; it simply requires making a connection between existing ideas. It’s when you take two seemingly unrelated items and use the spark of creativity that genius happens.

3. Be A Little Illogical. it is a peculiarly Western trait to want to tie things up in neat bundles. We prefer solutions to problems, and answers to questions. To be creative, you need to be comfortable with things that don’t fit. The Eastern tradition is more in tune with incongruence. As in this Zen Koan, or problem: what is the sound of one hand clapping?

4. Laugh More. humor is one of the greatest creative devices. It jolts us out of our normal patterns and puts ideas together that shouldn’t go together.

5. Think Outside Your Limits. many of the products we take for granted today are the result of people thinking outside their limits. Netflix, the IPhone, Amazon Alexa, Tesla, etc. What about the things that are the topic of wishful thinking today???

6. Adopt and Adapt. to be creative doesn’t require blue-sky thinking. You can still be creative by adapting what works elsewhere. An American airline that wanted quicker turnarounds on their flights adopted the techniques of Formula One pit crews. Another source of ideas is nature. Nature is an excellent teacher.

7. Remember Your Dreams. dreaming and day-dreaming can create a rich seam of ideas, because that’s when we relax and let the subconscious mind work by itself.

Make an attempt to apply these 7 creative thinking techniques and make them part of your daily thinking and new solutions to your problems will open up to you with ease and speed.
