The Breathing Prosperity blog

I’m very excited today as we are only ONE week away from our Cross the Wealth Gap teleconferences - we even have special speakers - and of course this teleconference will help anyone looking to cross over into wealth, and the best part is that it’s TOTALLY FREE..

I used this picture for the teleconferece because I thought it was a very true interpetation of how a lot of people view money as being huge and them being so very small with little or no control over it…of course all they can do is look up in wonder.We have so much work to do and only one week to do it…

I have been feeling especially reflective today and with SO many questions in my head, I waffled about what to write here. Finally, while sitting here, staring at a blank blog space waiting to be filled with my wisdom, it hit me. Well, he hit me actually. My eight month old son is learning to stand and walk and he’s using me as his pull up bar (and sometimes I get smacked!). So, back to you and today’s thought. Where do you give up? Actually, a more refining question is, ‘When is a good time to give up?’

For instance, you have this GREAT idea to become a famous singer. At which point do you accept that you’re tone deaf and go home to do something that is more in line with your talents? When learning to walk, babies are relentless and falling down means absolutely nothing to them. I admire that in my children and strive to emulate it in some aspects of my life. There is, however, a time when you say, ‘I do not have the skills, talent or passion (especially passion) to pull this off. It is time to hang up my apron.’

The bottom line is that if you’re passionate about something, you will find ways (and people) to compensate for your lack of skill, talent and/or resources. If, however, you have no passion for what you’re doing, you will continually hit a brick wall. You can be as tenacious as a bull dog and all you will reap is frustration.

Okay so I’m starting a new trend: Breathing Prosperity’s Daily Gratitude List

Today I’m most grateful for the following people, things and circumstances:

The fact that I can see - I take that for granted everyday

Being healthy and having healthy children

For the Law of Attraction, which means the posssibilites of what I can have are endless

For amazing business and prosperity partners

For an abundance of money, love, ideas and support

For all the things that have happened in my life both good and bad, because they have led me right here

For a roof over my head and never having to sleep without warmth or lights or a bed.

Okay this will be a short list today

But most of all for being ME!

Where’s your smile?

The fastest path to the life of your desire is finding the thought and feeling that is just a little better than the one you’re feeling now. Often times, that feeling is one of relief. A quick way to bypass the relief phase is to smile. You’ll feel like a complete idiot when you look in the mirror and smile at yourself, but that’s okay. You will then laugh at yourself and that will make you feel better, instantly raising your vibration. So decide that you will feel good and then put a smile on your face.

Congratulations! You’re on your way.

For many people, the concept of creating our reality with our thoughts is not new, but it is perhaps esoteric and may not seem ‘practical’. Once this perception is relieved, the imagination can soar to new heights, taking our creative abilities along with it. 

We can often be so tied up in our every day realities that the thought of creating something we consider better seems like a dream, and we set it aside for another time, as intriguing as it may sound. 

Actually, whether you realize it or not, you are creating your reality AT ALL TIMES. Your current physical world is a reflection of your thoughts…just not necessarily your thoughts of today. We look around us and sometimes it is difficult to correlate what we see to what we envision in our minds, because in our minds we see what we WANT, not what we HAVE. This secret is called the Law of Gestation, and it means in part that the current reality we are looking at is actually our past thoughts manifested. 

One of my partners, Ophelia Nicholson, has written an ebook that outlines this theory in a really entertaining and easy to understand way. Click above on ‘Receive’ to download this book for free.

Looking at our current reality and feeling frustration is one way that many people hinder or slow down their creative abilities. It is a simple problem to clear up, and doing so can accelerate understanding and progress immediately. 

By eliminating the confusion and negative thoughts that go along with this problem, we can clear our senses and create thoughts that act as arrows, propelling focused intentions into the future. Of course in ultimate reality, there is no future, but that is a topic for another day. The bottom line here is that we have all seen many tips about how to create and manifest intentionally, but without doing the work associated with clearing blocks and negative thinking patterns, the positive aspects and joy of creating can be slowed or even halted. Preparing for the ride is actually half the fun, and once you realize the results of digging for and rooting out blocks, it becomes an adventure in itself, and leads to amazing and deeply personal discoveries.

In the meantime, enjoy the hugs from Breathing Prosperity to YOU!

As I look outside snow is falling…Have I mentioned I’m not a fan of snow? It’s beautiful as it falls, you can play in it but then there is the shoveling the driveway, cleaning your car, driving in it, freezing in it…kids can’t seem to get enough of the snow..then again they don’t have to drive,shovel or clean the car. Anyway a few years ago when I lived in sunny, tropical Jamaica, I used to wish I could see and experience the snow.

I would visualize it, and act as if I was waking up to see it…I even remember once I saw something white on the ground, I was estactic - snow in Jamaica! - It was a wish come true…Nope, it was just lint, but that didn’t decrease my joy and I went around all day pretending I had my first glimpse of snow. I remember I used to wear a sweater when it was really cold (by really cold I mean 60 degrees), but to me it was as close to experiencing snow and cold as I could get - I would watch my breath as I blew it out.

Anyway, Law of Attraction is always working. We put it into action every single day. Now today I’m living the thoughts and feelings I put into motion years ago… And I don’t really like the snow now that I’ve attracted it into my life…So be careful what you wish for because YOU WILL DEFINITELY GET IT.

The truth shall set you free. I believe it was Jesus who said it, but I’m not quite sure. In any event, there is SO much in this one quote that I just had to write you all about it today. Do you consider yourself an honest person? I am sure you do, but do you ALWAYS tell the truth? Really give that some serious thought. Consider it from all angles.

Okay, are you convinced that you are an honest person, yet? Well, I would like to tell you that you are not. When someone asks you how you are, how do you answer? Do you just smile and say, ‘Fine.’ and continue with your day? Is that the truth, or are you feeling aweful today? Maybe you’re feeling FABULOUS! Do you answer with, ‘Fabulous!’ when you’re feeling fabulous? When your spouse asks you if you want them to take the babies off your hands, do you say, ‘Oh God yes! Thank you,’ or do you put on a brave face and say, ‘No Babe. I can handle it.’

Even if they don’t ask, do you honestly tell your spouse when you need his/her help? Okay, I don’t mean nagging, I mean really saying, ‘Honey, I could really use your help with the dishes.’ When people ask what you want for your birhtday, do you tell the truth or do you downplay your desires believing that the people buying you gifts cannot afford your taste. Perhaps you just decide that you do not want to ask for anything in particular and allow people to give you what you really want.

I have news for you. The Universe will never give you what you truly desire if you do not ask for it. Ask boldy for what you want by telling the truth at all times. There is no need to be cruel but when someone asks if you need something and you really need an afternoon away from the children, say so. Yes and thank you. These words will make your life truly blissful now and forever more.

Guess what everyone I won the lotto - WHOOOO… Okay fine I didn’t win the lotto but I don’t see why we can’t - A lot of people who hear about Law of Attraction say well why can’t I win the lotto? So if you are out there and you want to win the lotto using Law of Attraction, let me know and let’s put Law of Attraction to work.

There is a guy named Klaus Joehle, who sent love and won the lotto 130 times I believe (You can read his books for free from our main website under recommended resources - www.breathingprosperity.com/recommended.html ). There have also been reports of people who went around saying they had won 1 million dollars in the lotto and eventually did. So who is ready to join my win the lotto/Law of Attraction experiment? Don’t you want to win the lotto?  Should be simple enough right - All we have to do is get inline with the lotto right?

I usually get my inspiration or great thoughts while I’m driving when I CAN’T WRITE IT DOWN. Go figure. This morning as I was driving it came to me to RUN YOUR OWN RACE! I remember reading a long time ago about how horses when they are racing they don’t care about other horses; they don’t look over to see what the next horse is doing - They are focused and they run their own race. Soon as I could open up my laptop, I searched for run your own race and found this

“I raised you to be a thoroughbred. When thoroughbreds run they wear blinders to keep their eyes focused straight ahead with no distractions, no other horses. They hear the crowd but they don’t listen. They just run their own race. That’s what you have to do. Don’t listen to anyone comparing you to me or to anyone else. You just run your own race.” Excerpted from The Right Words at the Right Time (Atria Books, January 2004) by Marlo Thomas.  

How does this apply to Law of Attraction? Simple: What are you focusing on? Is your focus directly on your life and the goals you want to achieve? Are you spending your time and energy looking straight ahead towards the life of your dreams, or are you busy looking at what the next person owns, drives or has achieved?

 Oftentimes we spend our lives judging how much we will do or how much we should do based on what everyone else around us is doing. A good example of this is in the workplace or in businesses when people feel they should stop productivity or feel resentment because coworkers or partners aren’t pulling the same weight…but not everyone has the same goals and dreams as you do. We don’t all have your skills, visions or hope for the future…We don’t all want the same things. So this message was powerful to me and I asked myself the question ‘How much more would YOU accomplish if YOU stopped looking over at the person beside YOU?

How do you put on blinders? You mind your own business! You’ve heard this everywhere, from Tony Robbins and Rich Dad to Abraham-Hicks. Minding your own business isn’t a bad thing like most people think. It’s about not worrying about what everyone else is doing or where they are going, but about what YOU are doing and where YOU are going and what YOU want to achieve. It’s about looking straight ahead and not shifting that focus. Keep your eyes on the prize!

Law of Attraction teaches that what you focus on you will attract, so as you focus on what everyone else is doing or not doing, then you will get more of that. You need to put on blinders and forget what everyone else is doing because at the end of the day only you can change your life! Are you truly focused on your own race? A friend of mine has the goal of attracting 5 million dollars while my goal is attracting 400 million. That is a difference of 395 million dollars. That’s a whole different racetrack altogether… Most people don’t realize that they are running a different race than friends, family and coworkers, and a lot never reach full potential because they don’t want to stand out. Focusing on your own race means not caring much about what anyone else does, thinks or says about your visions, goals, dreams and YOUR LIFE.

As Will Smith says in the Pursuit of Happyness, “Don’t ever let someone tell you that you can’t do something. People can’t do something themselves and they want to tell you that you cannot do it either.” Running your own race means holding on to your dreams and moving towards them and not letting anyone deter you from your goals or dreams.

Focus on your own race. Focus on your own visions. Focus on your own life. Focus on your own dreams. Focus on YOUR goals and RUN YOUR OWN RACE!
