Week 3 REAL prosperity REAL security

Everybody finds it really easy to feel prosperous when they have money in the bank, though I'm sure, even then, there are people who worry about it; how long it will last; how far it will go; what needs it can meet. Even when we have an influx of money we can feel prosperous and still block the flow of our Good with worry. A friend recently said to me, "When I get money, I'm so relieved, I begin thinking immediately, "OK ... I've got enough to last me until ..." Guess what, entering into a pattern of thought where I celebrate I've got enough to get through the week or to the end of the month or until I die, stops the flow. "Having enough" means I have enough and that's what I have. The Universe does not stop the flow. I do because I told Source. "Thank you. I'm so grateful. I have enough." The assumption is that there won't be anymore and so this has to last me until ...

Kinnear says on page 78 of The 30 Day Mental Diet, " The prosperous person knows that he is prosperous and that he always will be. There is an inner conviction that permits of no doubt." As I read those lines, I immediately thought, Well, that doesn't apply to me, or even people like me. That's for the Trumps, the Rockefellers or the Gates' of this world. By putting myself in a different economic class from the "REALLY prosperous" I placed limitations on what Life could do for me. In a class the other evening a student referred to his prayer for uninhibited prosperity. I was truly excited to hear him say uninhibited by me and then talk about how he was conscious of limiting his Good AND how prayer had unlocked his thought process and allowed money, new contracts and opportunities to flow into his life.

This leads me to think about REAL security. I was one of those millions caught in the investment crash of last year. Remember that? Was it only last year? I just received a statement from the investment company that handles those things for me. I'm back to where I was. I suppose there are those out there who would say "Fine!! but you are no further ahead. Your investments haven't increased in value." I suppose that depends on your point of view. Again Kinnear says on page 81. "There are those individuals who always seem to come out on top of any calamity better than they were before." Again I went to that place of well that's not me. Really? If I am able to come to an understanding that regardless of what happens or happened, things will in some way, shape or form, be right for me, then I am more secure. Then I am better off! This is the soundest investment of all; an investment in myself and in Life. Life is FOR me. I know it! When I don't know it I consciously set about proving it to myself in small ways. I am never disappointed.
