Creating Prosperity
and Abundance ©

Now is a great time to begin again on your conscious road to prosperity. It is time for a new beginning. Prosperity is a mental and spiritual construct long before it becomes a physical reality. There is a stairway to the stars and it has 6 steps.

The first step - identify what you feel and think about money. Take some time to ponder this for it will give you the cues to the next step. Do you feel that money is dirty; only for others with more talent then you; it will get you in trouble if you have too much, etc? The next question is to ask yourself what you really think and feel about persons who are rich? Do you say to your self - they must have stolen it, they are selfish and self absorbed, they are upper class and must have been born with a silver spoon in their mouth, etc? Are you jealous of others? Are you afraid you will be greedy if you have what they have? Go ahead look deep into your inner self and be brave enough to write down exactly what comes to mind. No one else will read your thoughts they are just for you. Once that is done then you can move on.

Step two - clean house mentally and physically. You must make room for the new. Mentally review what you have written above and become aware of the persons, places and situations that you need to forgive. You must let go of anger, resentment, hurt, doubt, self-criticism and so on. Parents, society, buddies, social groups all attempt to keep a status quo. They deliberately tell you things like, "Who do you think you are?" "What gives you the right to expect to be better then me?" "If you do that you won't belong with us anymore." Forgiveness is the Golden Key to PROSPERITY. It is time for you to realize that you are in charge of your destiny and not let others make you're your choices. It takes bravery to let go of old friends and family who are impeding your growth. It is much more comfortable to stay where you are and to blame the economy than to become assertive in your own behalf. Are you ready to let go? Remember you will be forgiving your self as well as others. You will be cutting the strings that bind you. Take a moment close your eyes, take a deep breath and every one that comes to mind that you need to forgive in relation to your prosperity forgive them now. Imagine them clearly and say out loud, "I forgive you (insert their name)." Be sure to include yourself either first or last. Forgiveness only has to be done once, however you must mean it.

Next begin to clean out your physical environment. Give away those clothes form 5, 10, 20 years ago that you thought you'd wear again - someday. There is a man, woman or child waiting for just those items. Imagine them smiling as they put on your 'gift'. Get rid of all that stuff that is tucked away in the closet, storage cabinet, garage, attic, etc. It is doing no one any good there. Be done with your 'pack rat' mentality. You are an eagle ready to spread your wings and cannot be held down by 'stuff' anymore. You must make room it is a law of the Universe.

Step three - decide exactly what it is that you want. Imagine that you are in possession of that decision. In the theater to your mind, see what you see, feel what you feel, hear with you hear, smell what you smell, taste it, know it, it is yours! The subconscious mind cannot tell the difference between real and imagined happenings. The more energy you give to this, the quicker you will manifest this new reality that you have claimed. Act as if you were already in possession of your desire. If you need to edit you can do that in your mind until everything is exactly as you desire. It is coming to pass.

Step four - give thanks in ADVANCE for what you have received. You have the desire; the belief and now the expectancy will bring the abundance into your life. Say many times a day, "thank you for _____."

Step five is called 'great gratitude'. Be grateful for everything that happens to you moment by moment for that happening is leading you to your prosperity. Even twists and turns or hills and valleys are to be held in great appreciation. The path is never straight or even it will always be filled with surprises and challenges for you to accept or reject as you wish. Whatever you choice be grateful that you had a choice. Every morning begin by reciting your litany of 'great gratitude' and end each day as you lay your head down to rest with gratitude on your lips. A friend of mine always said this prayer at the end of each day. "Dear God, thank you for this day. I have done the best I know how and if I have forgotten something please take care of it for me. I need my rest so that I can awaken and do my best again tomorrow." He always slept soundly and awakened ready to hit the deck running.

Step six - develop a way to keep the flow of abundance going in your life. One way is to annually repeat the first three steps and then continue the habits of four and five. Some ideas I use are: When the mail arrives, smile and be glad that you have creditors who are willing to loan you their goods and services; Greet each phone call cheerfully for it is bringing you good news and lastly write above your name on all of your checks the words 'God Bless…' Everyone who handles your check will subconsciously be saying God Bless you. The blessings will flow and you will continue to be thankful for all of your good fortune.

As I said in the beginning prosperity is truly a creation of your mind and spirit. Go for it you are with it. Shoot for the moon and if you miss you'll still be among the stars!
