The Breathing Prosperity blog

How clear is your vision? When you think about being prosperous, what does it mean to you? What does it look like to you? Where do you live? In what city and state do you live? Do you want to live in a house, condo, mansion or villa? How many bedrooms does it have? How many square feet does it have?

When you think about what it is that you are trying to create, how specific and clear are you? Clarity is the key to creating everything that you desire to manifest into your life. Everytime that I have ever been able to get perfectly clear on my desires, they manifested with a speed that I have never before experienced. Get clear!

What does it take to make you totally and completely happy? Tonight as I spent 3 hours on the phone laughing and realizing how great life is - I was in that moment truly happy - so tell me what are those moments that make YOU truly happy?

This showed up in my inbox today and it struck a chord, so I thought I would share. Enjoy!

Many of us give lip service to living in the present moment. In a
culture that conditions us to never-ending future progress in both the
material and the spiritual realms, however, this is far easier said
than done.

I am not suggesting that we should not think about and make
intelligent plans for the future; that would not only be impractical
but also foolish. What I am suggesting is that we need to find a way
of living in which our thoughts about and plans for the future take
place in a field of presence that keeps us rooted to the only time and
place we can ever live–now and here.

A simple practice that you can undertake is to spend at least 20
minutes a day consciously allowing things to be exactly the way they
are, no matter what you are doing and no matter what resistance
appears to this effort. The first several times you try this, it might
be helpful to practice in quiet circumstances, where there will be a
minimum of external distractions.

Once you are able to practice in quiet circumstances for 20 minutes,
try allowing things to be exactly as they are for at least five
minutes at a time when you are with others. This will undoubtedly be
more difficult. Just remember to check in on your breathing. Simply
follow your inhalations and exhalations and any pauses as they take
place, noticing which parts of your body are engaged by your
breathing. This will help anchor you in the present moment.

As you try these simple, natural practices, notice the kinds of
thoughts that appear and see how they impact your breathing, your
emotions, and the tensions in your body. As you work with this
practice over several weeks you will begin to notice, often quite
spontaneously at other times of the day, how your thoughts about the
future often take you out of the present moment and make it very
difficult to see and appreciate what is actually going on not only in
your own mind and body, but also in your so-called external
environment. This practice of presence, this practice of allowing, in
full awareness and without judgment, things to be exactly as they are,
will transform not only your relationship with yourself and others,
but with your entire life.

Are you taking action on your ‘dreams’? So, you have this grand dream of being an author. When was the last time that you wrote anything except a grocery list? If your dream is to be a famous dancer, when was the last time you went to an audition? Do you not have the time to sit down and write? Can you not afford to take off work to go to auditions? Is your dream a passion for you or is it just something that you would like to have happen to you?

What’s keeping you from the things you want? Is there something you currently want? Are you truly open to receiving it? Say you wanted a Bentley - and someone walked up and gave it to you. What would you say? Is this person crazy? What’s wrong with the car? Someone may steal the car! Who is gonna pay for the insurance? Where will I keep it?…What is it that you want? and what is keeping you from receiving it?

Are you willing to accept responsibility? Everything in your life is there because you created it. If you are like most people, you had no idea you were creating. Now that you know that you are creating, are you willing to take responsibility for your creations? Are you willing to stop blaming others and accept that you created your life? Are you willing to choose thoughts, feelings and actions today that are in alignment with what wealth, joy, peace and ease really represent for you?

Are you willing?

I recently read a story which illustrated the Law of Attraction perfectly. It is part of the life-story of an online associate of mine, and I enjoyed reading it so thoroughly I decided to share it with you. We can all use a little inspiration! Enjoy.

“All the great personal development speakers have a ‘story’ it’s usually something like ‘10 years ago I was here dreaming of being there and discovered that by using the ‘Power of my Mind’ I could turn all my dreams into reality’. A ‘story’ like this is powerfully persuasive because it enables great speakers to be what they teach.

10 years ago…
I was living what many would call a successful life. I had a large detached home, was married to a pretty and loving wife with 2.4 wonderful children. We owned 2 cars, had two incomes, holidays abroad every year. I had done well at school, achieved a degree, secured a good job with great prospects and a career path. By the early 90s I had successfully climbed the corporate ladder and was leading a team of 12 managers delivering organisational change projects and management development programmes throughout the Southwest of England and South Wales. To anyone on the outside I had made it. Having grown up on a council estate with very little as a child, as a man I had created something of my life and in doing so ensured that my children had the secure life of abundance that I could only have dreamed of.
I was a success…. So why didn’t I feel like one…? To read the rest of this story, click below on ‘Ian’s story’.

I did a search online this morning and typed in ‘When will I be rich’ and was absolutely amazed by the answers that came up. The answers ranged from ‘Never’, To ‘Get real’. One person asked ‘When will I be the richest person in my city?’ The answers were ‘Win a lottery’ or ’A miracle’, ‘When you find a place with God’, ‘When everyone else moves out of town’.

Most people feel they will never be rich and they wake up wondering why they are not rich. They wonder why money isn’t flowing for them…They don’t truly believe this is something they can have. A study was done and it was found out that 78% of people think they will get rich by winning the lotto. To believe in the Law of Attraction means that YOU can have anythig that you want no matter what it is. IF YOU BELIEVE that you can have it and You deserve it. When will YOU be rich?

What if you don’t change one thing about your life? If you kept living just the way you are right at this very moment, where would you be in 5yrs? Tony Robbins said that “a lot of people major in minor things”. You get so caught up in your day to day life that you forget to create the life you truly want. It’s easy to get caught up with taking out the garbage, getting your oil changed, going to work 9-5, but how much time do you actually devote to creating the YOU that you want to see?

So what are you doing TODAY to create the life you truly want?

What will you do with the money when it comes? I am sure that part of the reason for your seeking prosperity teachings is because you have an interest in having more money. Have you any idea how you will spend that money? How will your life change? How will your lifestyle change? How will your relationships change? How will your livelihood change? How will you change? Will you be the same person with $100,000,000 in the bank that you are with just $100 in the bank?
