Dare to Prosper - Part II

If you did Step 1 and created a vacuum then you are ready to receive the next step!

It is a very simple step but one that will take some discipline on your part.

Step 2
Develop an attitude of gratitude!

Mental – fill your mind with becoming grateful.

This step is all about making a conscious effort to focus on the good that is around you as opposed to all the negative things. We are inundated with negatives with the news and most conversations that most people have. So this step is one that you choose to focus on the good around you and recognize it. This recognition may take the form of writing it down on a daily basis or it may be creating a grateful tree on your fridge where you place sticky notes of the things you are grateful for or it can be as simple as just saying thank you every time you find something to be grateful for.

I recently received a great email where a teacher had asked her class to list the 7 wonders of the world. All the kids ranked the pyramids of Egypt, Taj Mahal, Grand Canyon, Panama Canal, Great Wall of China, St. Peter’s Basilica of Rome and Empire State Building. But there was one girl who listed the 7 Wonders of the World as: to see, to hear, to speak, to touch, to feel, to love, and to laugh. Those really are the wonders that most of us get to experience every day yet how often do we fail to see them.

We grouse about red lights and traffic and fail to realize that most of the world does not own cars and have to walk miles and would consider themselves blessed to deal with what we have.

So today and for the rest of your life choose to be grateful. Not only will it make you a better person to be around it will make your world a better place because you will see it as the wonderful place it really is. Besides your prosperity is directly proportional to your grateful spirit. The more grateful you become the more prosperous you will become.

Dare to Prosper

It seems every where I go I hear people telling me how bad everything is and why they are not prospering. The strange thing is there are people out there right now that are prospering so what is the difference. Over the next couple of weeks I am going to talk about "10 keys" that I feel can make the difference between struggling and being successful and prospering.

Do you believe in gravity?

What if you didn’t believe but walked off the top of a building? Gravity doesn’t care if you believe or not because it is a law of the universe that if you obey it works for you and if you don’t well there are consequences.

What I am about to share are laws of the universe that if applied will bring you success and prosperity if you fail to use these laws you will continue to struggle and wonder why.

Step 1 "Create a vacuum"

- Mental: Get rid of grudges, worry, and fear
- Physical: Make sure your surroundings are filled only with things you love and make you feel special. Everything else is stealing from you and draining you of your energy
- Relationships: Why are the people in your life – are you happy that they are there Do you have toxic relationships that are draining you?

So for the next week work on creating a vacuum in your life. Because nature abhors a vacuum you are setting yourself up for the next step.
