Following is a brief explanation of ten steps you can take that will help you create
prosperity and abundance.
Step 1. Define your values - Make a list of what matters to you and write a
description of what you want your life to look like.
Step 2. Take a good look at your life - Look at the energy you are generating, the
people you interact with, the condition of your dwelling, what you eat, how you feel,
etc. Also examine whether or not the life you are living is in agreement with your
values. If it isn't, what is keeping you from doing what you want to do? If you want
to be in a more comfortable financial position -- whatever that means to you -- then
be sure to examine your money feelings.
Step 3. Make a commitment to change - If you aren't comfortable and living the life
you want, you will have to make a deep commitment to change your thoughts,
beliefs, emotions and the physical expression of your consciousness.
Step 4. Accentuate the positive - You can either expect a positive or negative
outcome from the choices you make and from your life stories. If you expect the
worst, you are more likely to get it than if you imagine a positive future. You also
have the option of believing that life is benevolent and that you can live a
comfortable, satisfying life. If you learn to look at life from a positive point of view,
you will learn the "attitude of gratitude." Instead of feeling that you aren't getting
enough, you will begin to appreciate what you have.
Step 5. Treat yourself like someone you love - Fire the critical parent in your head
that tells you that you aren't perfect just the way you are. Treat yourself with loving
kindness and remember to say, I love and accept you just the way you are, to
yourself at least once a day. Do the Love Yourself exercises that you will find here.
Step 6. Connect to other people - Sharing your life with other people feels good
and contributes to the feeling of abundance. Give freely of your time or resources
to show your appreciation. If you want to earn more money, then you need to
connect to more people because money is always attached to people. If lack is
what defines your life, then you may need to make an effort to connect on a
deeper level with more people. Go to meetings, join clubs that interest you, go to
spiritual gatherings, etc.
Step 7. Let go of the past - Forgiveness and letting go of the pain of your past
takes time but opens the door for positive energy to come into your life. You can
begin the process of letting go of your past by cleaning out the things that you no
longer use or remind you of uncomfortable times in your life.
Step 8. Spend time with your Self - Spend time in solitude getting to know who you
are. You can either meditate, which is suggested, or just spend quite time doing
whatever feels good to you. If possible, connect to nature as often as possible.
Even if you just sit on a patch of grass and feel the earth beneath you, that will
help. Become aware of the birds, trees and flowers. When you can, get out into a
country setting. Our meditation pages have simple instructions that can help you
gradually develop the habit of daily meditation. During your times alone, watch
your thoughts. If they are negative, replace them with positive thoughts. Visualize
what you want, as if it has happened and affirm your belief in a positive future. For

Step 9. Take responsibility for your life - As long as you blame others for what is
happening to you, or if you keep yourself in a victim position, you will never be able
to tap into your ability to create what you want. People who are successful
understand that it is their reaction to life that determines the course of their lives.
They are willing to examine the part they play in creating whatever negative
dramas may play out. The idea is to let life happen through you, not to you. (This
is discussed at length in Prosperity Is an Inside Job.)
Step 10. Each day do at least one new thing that will take you closer to your goals
- In order for your life to change, you have to consciously make changes. This
takes effort and commitment. That's why success doesn't happen to people who
just wish for it and hope that some unseen force will give it to them. You can start
by changing the quality of your thoughts, getting in touch with what you are feeling
in a variety of situations -- and about your money, eating one healthy food, smiling
at one person who you might have scowled at in the past, or giving something
away. If you only take one small step each day, you will adapt yourself to the
process of change.
