Abundance is a choice

What do we know about abundance and prosperity? Is it the destination we think somebody arrived at when we see them driving by with an expensive sports car? More importantly, do we think that this is only meant for a select group of people and never for us? That’s how poor people think. This article is not going to teach you where to find wealth but how to attract it– it is available to anybody who wants it.

Let us begin by defining abundance. Simply put, it is having an overflowing fullness of supply. When you have not just what you need but more than enough, you are abundantly blessed. Many people seem to think this is reserved for the educated and well connected. It is not. If you want it and are willing to do whatever it takes, then you too can be ‘filled to the overflow’.

There is a law of abundance at work in the world whether we acknowledge it or not. It is no respecter of seasons or persons. The universe continues to expand even right now. Nature itself showcases the unrelenting evolution of plant and animal life. True, resources get depleted as time wears on but life abounds and there is always much more abundance than there is lack.

Prosperity begins and ends with your mind. The world has a generous supply of wealth waiting for those who want it and it is your job to realize this. This mindset can be a stumbling block or a stepping stone to propel you to greater heights. If look at what you don’t have and stop there, you will stay where you are and never go anywhere. If however, you see the world as this limitless valley of opportunities waiting to be conquered, then you are on your way to achieving greatness.

Ask yourself, what is it that you are attracting? Is there a lack in your life you seek to dispel? Check your thought pattern. If you keep thinking about sickness and disease you will get sick. Focus on general well-being and health is yours. This is not to mean you are to disregard symptoms and medical reports-that is foolishness. This is making a quality decision to think good thoughts and work out what needs to be done to attain your goal.

These thoughts are far from being fluffy clouds as depicted in cartoons and animation. It is power itself. Imagine yourself praying. You are involving your mind and heart in this very spiritual act of your soul. The world has been so designed that these ‘vibrations’ are transmitted from your mind into the visible realm, accomplishing what you earnestly desire. This is the law of abundance again at work; the sooner we use it to our advantage, the faster we can see the results.

Remember everything you will ever need is already provided for. Success is not an heirloom to be passed down by certain blocks of people. It is a right and a privilege that can be yours too. Abundance and prosperity are waiting on the other side of the fence-what are you waiting for?

A quick glance at the news these days, whether it be on the radio, TV or in the newspapers, and it is clear to see that our society at large has what I call a “lack” mentality, or a “scarcity” mentality.

That is, our focus is continually being drawn to what we don’t have, or what we lack in some way, shape or form.

If you doubt this, just consider the stories which are making the news right now… The collapse of the sub-prime lending market globally, and the resulting credit squeeze in the UK. The stagnation in the housing market, with repossessions at an all time high. Wage demands in both public and private sectors being quashed and relative earnings declining as oil, gas and basic food commodity prices hit double digit growth. Jobs under threat as companies struggle to survive the economic downturn, and early retirees forced back into the workplace due to inadequate pension provisions.

But we were not born to be like this, or even to think like this. We were born with an abundance mentality – secure in the knowledge that we live in an abundant universe in which there is more than enough to go around, and where it is natural for us to achieve anything and everything we could wish for.

But somewhere along the way many of us lose this inborn feeling of security and we start to focus on all the things we don’t have; all the things we lack, rather than the happy positive thoughts about the things we desire and believe we deserve. If “lack” mentality has crept into your thought processes in any way as you have progressed through your life, then I challenge you to break your state right now, and consider the possibility that you can live your life a different way.

Here is a simple, but very effective Life Coaching exercises for you to try called “Count your blessings“…

Each day before you become embroiled in the hectic business of daily life, take a few moments to mentally list and acknowledge the things in your life which bring you joy and for which you are truly grateful. The relationships you have with loved ones, for example, your fulfilling career, or your radiant health – whatever is appropriate for you, simply spend a few moments enjoying the gifts you have, rather than lamenting the things you don’t.

And before you go to sleep each night, reflect on the day just gone and mentally replay all the good things that happened during the day, which brought you happiness and caused you to feel good about yourself and your life.

Remember, only YOU have the power to decide what you fill your mind with, and how you direct your thoughts…

Best wishes,

If you’re just starting a business, or if your business is not exactly raking in the dough, then this article is for you. If you want to learn the secrets of attracting abundance and prosperity into your business – and your personal life as well, read on!

1) Visualization Techniques

For a few minutes each day, close your eyes and visualize better clients or more customers coming in to your store.

The more detailed your mental images are, the better. Visualize with success already in your heart and in your mind… and the rest will follow. Attracting abundance and prosperity into your business starts with the belief that success is already yours.

With visualization techniques, you’re imagining and experiencing what you want to happen as if it’s occurring now. This will help augment your belief system even if you have no previous experience.

2) Use Positive Affirmations

Use positive statements as much as possible. You can even create a poster that says something like “I am attracting abundance and prosperity into my business.”

Hang it right where you can see it every day. This will help you affirm that your business is indeed successful.

3) Get Rid of Clutter

Clutter has the tendency to drain you of energy. Other people also believe that clutter tends to chase abundance and prosperity away.

Either way, being organized helps you concentrate better on your business, and allows you to feel better about yourself. Keep in mind that it is your feelings that ultimately affect the flow of your business.
