Stepping into a brand-new year is typically
a time of reflection and of new beginnings.
With retrospect in our hip pocket, we look
forward with renewed optimism at what lies ahead. The most common anticipation
centers around our desire for more. It is tantamount to our inherent
nature to not only survive but to thrive!
Most people think of abundance and
prosperity as external factors, when, in fact, they are elements that are
manifested by the way you think. This is great news because it essentially
means that you already have everything you need to turn things around in your
favor.
If you agree with the premise of living
with abundance, all you have to do is…
Ask.
And then, follow a few simple mindset
rules...
1. Begin with gratitude
Gratitude is a perspective that announces
your appreciation for goodness. If you start with thanksgiving for what you already
have, then more will “automatically” be attracted to you through the Law
of Attraction.
2. Think differently
Rich people live in a world of abundance.
Poor people live in a world of lack and insufficiency. Each of these two groups
think in accordance with their circumstances.
If you want to attract abundance and
prosperity, you need to raise the level of your self-worth and let go of the
limiting beliefs that are holding you back.
Abundance is energy. Most people live in an
energy of lack and unawareness. They fear their finances. They feel stuck in
situations and circumstances. And most are going through the motions and repeating
the habits they were brought up to believe.
Abundantly rich people understand that life
doesn’t have to be an “either-or” situation. They build their lives on the
premise that they can have “both”. This is not a matter of gluttony or
selfishness. It is a thought process that influences the external conditions of
life. Abundantly rich people also believe in the power of ASKING without regard
to “how” abundance will flow to them, but rather, that it “will” flow to them,
just because they asked.
3. Be Intentional
With every decision you make, you are
creating your reality. But chances are you’re not being very intentional about
the reality that you’re creating. Reality is subjective; if you realize that your
reality is a result of your choices and decisions, then you can choose
to believe that you can do something about it.
Take account of the beliefs you have about
yourself. Focus on the things that empower you and be intentional to summon the
courage to move forward. Your confidence will quickly follow.
4. Stop making excuses
Your ability to recognize and eliminate
excuses is critical to opening the floodgates of abundance. Eliminating excuses
is important because your future is important.
If you only get the future you work for,
then what you work for should be pretty important. You probably want to get
that right. If it affects your future, stop making excuses and get busy
creating the content and conditions of a life you desire.
5. Seek to Add Value
Stand on any beach and look out over the
ocean and there is seemingly no end to it all. There is, of course, but we
can’t comprehend it, so we think the water is endlessly abundant. That’s how an
abundant mindset works. You give away praise, recognition, compliments, ideas,
knowledge, and money because you know there’s plenty to go around. What you
give away will come back to you many times over. This, of course, is based on
one of my favorite Universal Laws—the Law of Reciprocity.
6. Reinvest in Yourself
Explore the unique, endless possibilities
within you. Remember, when you work on improving yourself, you’re adding to the
creativity, vitality, and sheer wonder of your mind.
As you examine the year ahead, I challenge
you to think abundantly. Think not in terms of what you need, but what
you desire. When you do, your renewed mindset will open the door to an abundant
world you’ve been withholding from yourself for far too long.
Here’s to your abundant year ahead.
Until next time...
