Live by the Abundance Model!

so many wonderful people. Today I am thinking of those who have passed from this world and feel sad that I hadn’t told them how special they were in my life.

This proves to be a reminder for me to let those that are still here know how much they mean to me.

Today’s Word from Joel and Victoria Osteen

We serve a faithful God! He’s a God of more than enough. Not only does He promise to meet your needs, He promises to give you enough to meet the needs of others, too.

When you are a sower—when you give of your resources, your time, talent, and finances—God promises to multiply those resources so that you can continue to be a blessing to the people around you. You might look at what you have in your hand today and think, “This doesn’t look like much,” but understand that when you give God what you have, He’ll turn it into more than enough!

The Bible tells us that Jesus fed a crowd of over 5,000 people by multiplying the lunch of a small boy, and He can multiply whatever you have in your hand, too.

Dedicate what you have to the Lord by faith today. Ask Him where you should sow your seed so that you can be a blessing to others. As you do, He’ll continue to pour out His blessing and abundance on you, and you will live fulfilled and satisfied all the days of your life.

Have you explored your local library lately?

Ours has free internet access for an hour a day. They also have latest musical CD’s and movies to take home to enjoy for free!

Plus all the books about any subject you may want to explore. I am so grateful to have found this wonderful resource of abundance again.

I’d encourage ya’ll to step out into the world and see what is there for us to enjoy for free.

I have been whining about what I don’t have instead of being grateful for what I do have. This has been blocking my flow of abundance.

of lavish, unlimited abundance in our lives. We can worry and fret but that will just block the source of the abundance that exists for us. So the best thing to learn is to do what we can now and be open to the grace of God/Universe that blesses our lives.

My Own Natural Energy Yield. My energy has been blocked for some reason. B used to tell me I had “it”. Which is the energy source within us. Maybe “it” will reappear soon.

in every area of my life but the financial.

I’m not sure what the block is with this. I have never had such a difficult time in my business before except for when I was really ill.

So this is what I need to work on now.

being open to the serendipity of the Universe and the abundance of our spirits within us. I hadn’t realized how I had closed that part of my spirit down the past few years.

I recently read that Money is just My own natural energy yield. I absolutely adore that. This idea totally took away the power the lack of money has had over me recently.

It is just an exchange for the energy we put out into the Universe…nothing more. This has been very enlightening.

Whining is not my style and it seems that has been a habit that I adopted recently. This is not acceptable.

I am very grateful for all of the abundance I have in my life.

The starting point of all riches is the development of a prosperity consciousness. You must become a financial success in your thinking long before you achieve it in your reality. Both poverty and riches are the result of a state of mind, and the most important single step you ever take on the road to wealth and financial independence is the decision to change your thinking, to impress into your mind an unshakable belief that you can and will achieve your financial goals. This must happen before anything else happens.

Think And Grow Rich
When I was growing up, I was fascinated by stories of successful men and women and how they made and lost their fortunes, and then made them over again. I read about the importance of a prosperity consciousness in the book, Think And Grow Rich, by Napoleon Hill, several times. But I never fully understood what it meant until about five years ago. Then it hit me and I’ve never been quite the same since. Every aspect of my life has improved dramatically, especially in the area of accumulating wealth, since I finally understood what is meant by a prosperity consciousness.

All Causation is Mental
The first principle is this. All causation is mental. That means that everything that you are or ever will be will be a result of how you use your mind. You are merely a mind with a body to carry it around with. The entire man made world that you see is simply an expression of thought. Your entire life is an expression of your own thinking. And since the quality of your thinking determines the quality of your life, if you improve the quality of your thinking, you must, you will, inevitably improve the quality of your life.

The Law of Expectations
The second principle is what we call the law of expectations. This law says that whatever you expect with confidence, positive or negative, becomes your reality. If you confidently expect to succeed, if you confidently expect to learn something from every experience, if you confidently expect to become wealthy as a result of applying your talents and abilities to your opportunities and you maintain that attitude of confident expectations long enough, it will become your reality. It will give you a positive optimistic cheerful attitude that will cause people to want to help you, and will cause things to happen the way you want them to happen.

Action Exercises
Here are two things you can do immediately to practice these principles in your day to day life:

First, start thinking today in a positive, optimistic, confident way about personal and financial success. Continually imagine what differences it would make in your life if you were financially independent. This is the starting point of developing a prosperity consciousness.

Second, develop your own attitude of positive expectations. Look for the good in every situation. Look for the valuable lesson in every setback or difficulty. Be positive and cheerful about everything that happens and you will be amazed at the difference it makes in your life.
