What are your wildest dreams? How would you feel if your
deepest hopes and wishes came true?
True abundance goes far beyond the art of sourcing money. We
usually consider abundance to be material wealth. Yes, but it
also means emotional well-being and spiritual fulfillment. And
the ability to fully experience—and share—love and joy.
True fortune is the art of knowing how to live.
The Latin root of “prosperity” means “to make happy,
favorable, successful, fortunate, thriving. Prosperity is not
an outer circumstance or state. Prosperity is an inner feeling
or space—an experience of oneself as joyful and flourishing.
Outer events are the reflections of how you have been flowing
from your Source Energy. This is what a good creator
does—flow energy.
You can attract prosperity with your personal magnetism. True
prosperity is having what you choose to have as you choose to
have it. As you focus your attention on your dreams, the Law
of Attraction brings your desires to you automatically.
Here are a few effective, pragmatic keys to tap into the
River of Joy and Plenty:
1. Get Good at Receiving!
You know the joy you get by giving to people. By not
receiving generously, you’re denying other people the
pleasure of giving to you! Practice receiving gifts and
pleasures, big and small.
Prosperity Begets Prosperity. Prosperity defies the laws of
economics in that it’s not a commodity that we have less of
when we give some away. Prosperity grows greater for the giver
as it’s given. The more you share, the more you end up
receiving. Give and you shall attract. Nature abhors a vacuum!
Make room for miracles. Create the attitude and conditions
that make receiving miracles more likely to occur. Invite
surprise. Welcome serendipity. Be open to unexpected sources
of income, resources and support—especially those that
don’t “make sense” to the intellect with its limited
range of possibilities. Approach life as if the whole of
creation is conspiring to bring you goodness … because it
is!
2. Find the Real You!
Get in sync with the real you. Go with it and never look
back! Attract your dreams with your personal magnetism—your
personal bliss. Working in a career that doesn't fit right is
exhausting and stressful. You're less efficient, less
productive, less prosperous. Choose a livelihood that evokes
excitement and enthusiasm and this natural electro-magnetic
energy will attract magic, meaning and money into your world.
Align your personality with true spirit. When you’re
aligned with your true intentions in being here this lifetime,
good fortune will unfold in a profoundly easy, delightful and
bountiful ways.
Answer your life’s calling. As you commit to your calling,
the resulting vibration of happiness opens the floodgates to
profuse support from the Universe. What is your true calling,
your real vocation? What is the business of your soul this
lifetime on Earth?
What would happen if you knew and followed your calling, your
passion, your fun? What actions could you take today that
would bring your life more in accord with your life calling
and joy? What aspect of life is calling to you right now?
3. Play at Life!
Why does the money run out? Why doesn't passion stay around?
Why doesn’t health last?
Perhaps because you’re not playing!
Instead, you’re analyzing and strategizing. By not being
innocent, open, willing, spontaneous and flexible, you kill
the magic of natural prosperity.
Life works out best when played like a kid’s game—in the
spirit of a fun adventure between two best friends. When
approached lightly—not as a deadly serious contest—life
actually responds more readily to our wishes. In fact, the
happiest outcomes occur when we play along with the
fluctuations of life—instead of fighting them.
Make room for fun. Humor and laughter activate energy flow,
which, in turn, generates abundance. You have to possess the
qualities you value in order to share them with others. If
you’re not willing to give yourself happiness, how can you
help others find happiness?
How do angels fly? They take themselves lightly. Certainly
there are times when life presents major challenges that call
for clear and direct action. But being responsible and
efficient does not preclude humor and light-heartedness.
In fact, a flexible, fluid, upbeat approach and attitude is
crucial to releasing magic and miracles into the any life
challenge. Inspiration and breakthrough are often born from
the spirit of playfulness and exuberance.
In one study, 75 percent of the people who watched a funny
movie were able to solve a problem, as opposed to 13 percent
of the people who hadn't watched the funny movie. When we’re
feeling good, we naturally attract other answers, assistance,
resources and people to us.
Laugh. Like vibration seeds like vibration. A really good,
deep laugh moves your energy into a place of attraction. Use
belly laughs to attract a belly-fulls of money. When you are
playing with children, watching a funny movie, horsing around
with your friends, chuckling at a joke, you’re funding your
dreams. Find a fresh aspect of your life to laugh about every
day.
As the famous comic piano player, Victor Borge, revealed,
“Laughter is the shortest distance between two people.”
Call it charisma, personal power or the Law of Attraction.
It’s the physics of fun.
Where could you approach your goals with more flexibility,
openness and sense of play?
4. Take the Road Less Traveled
Be different, creative, fluid. Live your life as an
experiment. Exude excitement and enthusiasm about daily life.
Surprise yourself! See fresh possibilities. Perceive new
opportunities and challenges where others see problems and
limitations.
Take your dream up a notch every day. Widen your worldview.
Stretch your horizons. The electromagnetic energy of this
exuberant, open attitude will attract abundance into your
world.
Ask "Why not?" Withdraw from collective mass consciousness.
Step beyond general consensus to remove the limits of what’s
possible for you to have. Many people have changed
society—and had fun—by doing “what couldn’t be
done.” You can too.
When you withdraw your energy field from the energy field of
the tribal collective agreement, you can create outside that
agreement. Where in your life could you step a little further
outside of mass consciousness thinking?
When you release your vise grip on the rigid, fixed beliefs
you inherited from society, the things can shift that need to
shift for something new, fresh, wonderful and miraculous to
happen to you. What are your beliefs about how life operates?
How important are these beliefs to your survival, identity,
reputation (need for approval) and sense of worth? In what
areas of your life could you right now relax your need to
control the exact functioning of the people and events around
you?
Choose to be innocent (free) of the past. Open the door to
more magic, meaning and money in your world by learning to
suspend skepticism and conditioned responses. Learn to surf
through the surprises of life, instead of being swept away by
them.
5. Give yourself a "Spacelift”
Feng-shui is the ancient art of consciously managing matter
and energy within space. By intuitively re-arranging the
elements of your daily life, you create the space to nurture
the freedom and effectiveness you desire. By clearing out the
old, dead elements of your life, you create a natural vacuum
and an unblocked channel for fresh, new energy and ideas to
come into your private and professional life.
Clutter clogs up your cash flow. Liberate the clutter in your
life—the books you don’t read, the outdated paperwork in
your drawers, the old clothes that don’t fit, the boxes of
junk in the garage. If you haven’t used it in the last six
months, it’s clutter. When you clean out the old, you make
room for the new.
How could you unblock your energy now? Where can you
re-arrange the ways you live your everyday life in a fresh,
new, intuitive way?
Also clear your path of illusions and lies … so that your
creating attention flows solely to your dreams—not to the
distractions and myths of life. Quit doing what you hate. Tell
yourself the truth about what you don't like doing … then
stop doing it.
Script your life from what brings you joy. Do what you love,
money will follow. It works. Don’t just know it … do it.
Find out!
Change one old entrenched attitude each day. Take ownership
of your attitude. Focus on what is working in a situation, not
on what’s not working at the moment. What are you
tolerating, avoiding or denying in your life right now? Where
are you compromising, sacrificing or settling for something
less than what you really want?
Create space for yourself. Spend some quiet time with
yourself every day. Become a quiet, clear, pure vessel for
the higher self to fill. Listen to yourself and trust what you
hear. Let go of other people’s voices in your head. Take
time to consult with your spirit. Ask, “Is this activity at
this time, in this way, really serving me?
6. Feel Extravagantly
Feel generously. Feel the ecstasy—and the agony. Feel the
pain as well as the joy. Shake with fear. Let the anger rise
up and roar! Feel until you think you'll explode!
If you're not truly feeling, you're not truly alive. You're
just going through the paces. You’re only having a
NLE—Near-Life Experience.
When your e-motions move, your energy moves—your life moves
… forward. And when you let your emotions and desires move,
the Universe moves to meet you—to fulfill your desires and
dreams.
Release constrictive emotions. Unresolved emotions constrict
the free flow of energy (money) through your life. Heavy,
tight, restrictive feelings impede the natural current of life
force through your body and world. Stuck emotions equal stuck
energy equals stagnant cash flow. Find a way to move your
feelings—and your cash flow will be on the move again.
To release the blockage of these emotions, it’s helpful to
realize that all emotions are valuable messengers (friends,
allies) for they let us know how we really feel about aspects
of our lives. Jealousy and envy inform us of what we want for
ourselves in life. Move out of jealousy and allow the universe
to bring you whatever it is you’re envious of. Anger and
resentment tell us that something is out of harmony with us.
Re-align the situation and the anger dissipates.
7. Follow the Yellow Brick Road
Follow the guiding signs Spirit gives you everyday. Our soul
is always (all ways) trying to steer us toward our goals. We
live in an interactive, responsive universe that is designed
to fulfill our deepest dreams—if we would only play along!
Allow your intuition to guide you to the forms and vehicles
that will empower your spirit to express fully. What messages
and signals has the Universe been sending you that you have
been ignoring, misinterpreting, or are afraid to act on?
Listen to your body. Our body is a natural feedback system to
keep us abreast of how well we are dealing with the pressures
and demands of life. What lessons is your body reflecting to
you? What wake-up calls from your body have you been denying?
What’s the weight you are carrying around? What’s your
body dying to tell you?
Don’t defer your dream. Take a step every day in the
direction of your dreams. Set up supports and systems around
you to instantly translate your intentions into action. Jump
on every opportunity that is in line with your vision. Keep
the momentum going. No matter how hectic life gets, pledge to
take at least one action a day.
Take your aliveness up a notch. Fear less, dare more. Take on
one fresh risk or challenge every day. Take at least one
action each day that scares you. Face one truth you haven’t
been able or willing to acknowledge before. Don’t let fear
paralyze you. Set yourself free. Ask for more and reach for
more. Upgrade your dream. Revitalize your life. New
experiences make our lives richer.
It’s your joy Use it or lose it.
