How to Attract Prosperity

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Isabella_Kratz]Isabella Kratz

What is prosperity? It's when we're doing well, and it includes much more than material wealth. Prosperity is being successful, and this can mean something different to each of us. We can have little money and be successful in your own eyes. If I am happy with what I've got, and rejoice in it, then I am prosperous.

On the other hand, you can have as much money as you like, but if you don't feel good about yourself, it won't do anything for you, because you won't be able to enjoy it. Being happy doesn't depend on the state of our bank account.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to be rich. Money makes our lives more comfortable, and allows us to give more to other people and to charity. But prosperity is not only about money. It includes health, which is the body's wealth, as "poor health" is a state of poverty. We can also be poor in time, if we're always stressed, always rushing around trying to get things done. But if we feel we have all the time n the world, we're wealthy, and time becomes our friend. Prosperity also means love and affection. These are basic human needs, and without love, life has no purpose. To master the art of loving, we need to master the art of giving and receiving. What sow is what we reap. If we're always angry, this will come back to us. But if we practice forgiveness, this will come back to us too...

Our attitude towards life and money depends on our atitude towards ourselves and others, as well as our attitude towards the world. If we believe the world is a friendly, lucky place, it will be like that for us. If we believe that everyone is out there to get us, it will be like that for us too. We'll end up not trusting anyone, not even ourselves.

My attitude determines how much money I have. If I always think in terms of lack, then I will create more lack. And if I keep complaining that I don't have enough, then I will continue not to have enough, because I condition myself to remain in a state of wanting, instead of appreciating what I've got now.

Just having a roof over my head and food on the table is a luxury that a lot of people on this planet can't enjoy.

What we focus on will increase, so if we always concentrate on lack and shortage, these will get worse. If we cultivate thoughts of abundance, there will be more and more of it in our lives.

The art of contentment is the ability to be grateful for everything we've got. And even if we think we've got nothing, we can still be grateful for being alive. We can be grateful for the air we breathe. It's the most precious substance known to mankind, and yet we take it for granted that it will always be there. And there's enough of it for everyone... Gratitude is peace of mind, and peace of mind is prosperity. Serenity helps me achieve so much more than when I allow myself to worry or to get upset.

Once we create prosperity in our mind, it will become a reality for us. Thoughts always precede actions and events. What we think about is what will manifest in our lives. So let's envision large amounts of money coming towards us, instead of complaining that we haven't got any. Being frustrated won't solve anything, but being positive will propel us into action. We will automatically make good choices, and good things will come to us.

In a nutshell:

- Appreciate what you've got now..

- Live in the present moment.

- Stop worrying once and for all.

- Visualise money coming towards you.

- Believe in yourself, and believe that you're worth it

As you give, you will receive, and abundance will replace lack in your life. Prosperity is not reserved for certain people. It's available to everyone, and just like the air we breathe, there's enough of it for everyone. Affluence can be yours if you open yourself to it, and allow it to flow to you.
