Life Empowered Experience

Yesterday I said it’s “easy” to do.  

Okay, it’s easy but difficult.  Let me explain.  Most of us have been conditioned to think on and focus on negative things.  I don’t know why exactly, but these thought patterns are what keep us in our ruts.

If you want new results in life you MUST focus and train your mind to have new patterns.

So since we are discussing Poverty Consciousness versus Prosperity Consciousness, let me give a specific example.

You get to work and the person next to  your cubical, or the guy working across from you in the shop, or your supervisor who takes you to lunch…says something like, “Did you hear about Circuit City?  I guess they are declaring bankruptcy due to the economy.  And what about Starbucks?  95% down in sales?”

That kind of focus is Poverty Consciousness.

What about the gas prices dropping?  That’s GOOD!  Yet many will even turn something prosperous like this into poverty thinking with a comment like, “Yeah, it’s not going to last though.”

WHY!

Why do we tend to be negative?

Whatever the root cause is, let’s at this moment focus on the solution.

The first step in thinking prosperity is to surround yourself with likeminded individuals.  You tend to talk and focus along the lines of the company you keep.

Second, make a list of all the things you are thankful for that are directly related to prosperity in some form.  It doesn’t have to be financial prosperity, it can be relationship prosperity…maybe people find you fun to be with or don’t like going to lunch in groups when you aren’t there.

Thirdly, check yourself in the morning and at the evening, take your “Prosperity Temperature” to see where you are.  Realize you are a magnet and as you grow your prosperous thinking the things that you want are moving toward you.  Picture that.  See the new car, the home, the money, moving at a steady pace toward you, gaining momentum as you clear your mind of negativity and focus on what you do have now and how prosperous you are now.

And finally, spend at least 10 minutes a day with your eyes closed, visualizing all the prosperity in your life and then see it grow and expand out from you.  If you got some money unexpectedly, visualize it happening again only double.  

Have fun with it, don’t stress over it, and begin to think prosperous.

It’s challenging because of the preprogramming, but it’s easy to follow some simple steps to keep your mind on track.

Love & Peace,

P.S.  I’ve noticed, coming from a Christian background, that many times Christians are worried to think in prosperous terms.  They think they should be suffering.  But I remind you of the Bible text that says, and I paraphrase, “…what ever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are good and holy, think on these things…”

Even the Bible admonishes us to think positive and prosperous thoughts.
