“The universe is inexhaustible; it is limitless, indestructible, and eternal, and it responds to the faith that we have in it.” Ernest Holmes

Prosperity is not something we manufacture—it is something we align with. The flow is already here. God’s infinite goodness is always seeking to express through us.

Prosperity consciousness is not about getting something we don’t have—it’s about realizing and expressing the infinite abundance that is already ours.

Pay attention to the world around you. Notice your thoughts, feelings and attitudes. What do you worry about? What grabs your attention? What emotions are you feeling? Once you identify your thoughts and emotions, then get into right relationship with them. Raise your vibration through prayer, mediation and time of silence. Heal any places of separation with others. 

Do you say positive, uplifting things to yourself? In the latest Michael Jackson movie, there is a scene showing Michael just before he records “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough.” He is speaking affirmations out loud, saying things like you are beautiful, you are the best, you are the greatest. How many of us talk to ourselves that way? Most of us feel uncomfortable just thinking about it. 

Our internal voice shapes our outcomes. If we doubt ourselves, and speak disparagingly about ourselves, it shows up in our lives.  We could all use more constructive self-talk. Our inner dialogue is so important.

Learning to forgive also changes our vibration and perspective. To forgive does not mean we condone bad behavior. It means letting go of wishing it could be different. Accepting what is aligns us to the present moment of now and opens us up to gratitude and appreciation.

Eric Butterwoth reminds us, “To practice the presence means to practice, knowing that you are surrounded by a divine presence that wishes you well because you are expressing in life. The flow of life is the very nature of God and the natural experience of humankind.”

If you can’t KNOW with conviction that you are surrounded by a divine presence at the moment, be WILLING to recognize the presence as a possibility. Affirm your good. Get into the flow of life. Keep practicing.

Affirm: I am surrounded by a divine presence and infinite possibilities.
