The Breathing Prosperity blog

As some of you may have noticed, we get our share of daily spam in the forum and Ophelia and I are in there at least twice a day deleting the new entries. There is some REALLY inappropriate material in some of these posts, and I’m grateful my daughter has not been sitting beside me or passing by when I accidentally happen upon something that is very graphic.

However, we love our forum and want it to be a great place to hang out in, so we make this effort gladly, in the name of allowing all our genuine users fairly free access.

Just this morning, as I was deleting our fresh influx of spam, my other half walked by and expressed his distaste for the people who ‘do this’ to us, and used a few expletives himself. My immediate response was ‘Hey, they are just entrepreneuers like us, doing things their own way and they are hoping to make money from it.’ And it’s true. I believe so fervently in free enterprise, and in appreciating the opportunities we have in our lives to thrive based on our own efforts and merit, that it didn’t even occur to me to ‘hate’ these people or what they are doing. I may find it a pain to have to delete the illicit material and the drug pitches every day; I may not agree with their tactics or the choice of product/s; I may wish they would take their ‘business’ elsewhere; but at the end of the day, I respect their rights because I appreciate my own.

This is part of the same overall concept as being happy for others who are happy, wealthy, in love, successful - you name it. We have written about this in the past (see What if it Wasn’t You?), and the understanding and application of this principle is a key stepping stone to allowing yourself to receive the many wonderful things you say you want - wealth, health, happiness, success…etc..

I am just glad to see that for me, when it counted ie. ‘in the moment’, I was able to apply this lesson and my natural response was one of inclusion and empathy, rather than negativity or separateness. To me that means I am walking my talk, and that makes me even more happy.

Have a great day!
