Peace And Prosperity

Have you ever found yourself stressing over finances? Have you ever thought, “If I had more money, I could do so much more for myself and the world?” Have you ever noticed that violence and crime are often directly linked to a person or a society’s economic conditions? And what if we ALL were abundant, would people have to steal from one another? Would wars be waged because someone resents what someone else has? Would you personally be doing something different if money weren’t an issue? What would you do if money weren’t an issue?

These are all questions that I have asked at one time or another. I know many of us have asked these questions as well. I believe that a big “key” to being peaceful is to “accepting the abundance” that is our Divine Birthright.

Our thoughts and beliefs are the connecting link between the formed and unformed world, between the manifest and un-manifest. So, if we aren’t abundant and prosperous at every level, what thoughts or beliefs are creating that reality for ourselves?

We only have to look at the stars in the sky, the water in the oceans, the greatness of a Redwood tree to see that the Universe is abundant. Yet if we are not experiencing that in our life, what thoughts and beliefs do we hold?

I’ll share a personal experience that I had recently. I was reading “Accept your Abundance” by Randy Gage. In the book he talked about how most people really aren’t afraid of failure or success but that they create “challenges” for themselves so they can overcome them! So they can play the martyr.

I cried when I read this because I realized that every spiritual mentor or role model I ever had (Mark Victor Hansen, Tony Robbins, Sylvester Stallone, Napolean Hill, Walt Disney, etc.) was broke, homeless, starving, bankrupt or poor at one time in their life. And I had always wanted to be like THEM! I thought that if I was broke and bankrupt that I would also overcome those challenges like they did and then I’d have a great story to TELL!!!

WOW! This was such a powerful realization for me. I was creating the same situation that my role models had done before they were abundant and successful. I was creating a story of “rags to riches” for myself.

In that moment, upon reading that, I made a decision that I am not going to do it this way! I’m going to PROVE that you can follow your dreams and your passion and be ABUNDANT every step of the way!

Just think what each and everyone of us can and will do with all this abundance. What would you do for yourself, if money were overflowing? What would you do for loved ones? What would you do for the world?

Think about this now. Then ACCEPT that abundance. YOUR ABUNDANCE benefits EVERYONE!!! Yourself and the WORLD!

I would like to end with this affirmation from Catherine Ponders book called “The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity.”

“I am an irresistible magnet, with the power to attract unto myself everything that I divinely desire, according to the thoughts, feelings and mental pictures I constantly entertain and radiate. I am the center of my universe. I have the power to create whatever I wish. I attract whatever I radiate. I begin choosing and mentally accepting the highest and best in life. I NOW choose and accept health, success and happiness (JOY and Peace). I now choose lavish abundance for myself and for all mankind. This is a rich and friendly universe and I dare to accept its riches, its hospitality and to enjoy them now.”
