I think we need to regularly remind ourselves to get ready for our prosperity. Let me expand on this a little, if I may.

It is very important to ensure that we are always ready for the best to happen to us, as often, it is the state of preparedness that helps us reach new levels of success. Can this really be true? Yes, It is, and it is proven in many books like the famous book by Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich.

When it comes to prosperity, it is very important to ensure that we cast away the past. That does not mean that you should forget all the good you have learned from the past, but at the same time, you need to be able to ensure that you are ready to open your self, and circumstances to accepting your good. I say this specifically, as many people have accidentally held onto their past in such great strength, that they have closed themselves to the new good that awaits them.

I know this can seem complex at first, but let me assure you that your good is all about your ability to be what I call, "a little fluid". This is important as it is a way to allow yourself to move with circumstances. All circumstances change, and we need to ensure that we can change with them, as when we are rigid, we repel our good. By being open to adapting through situations or change, we are better able to ensure that we will be ready to move into our prosperity. I will be writing on this very important topic over a number of weeks, as I want to help you reach a point of understanding where you can adapt this to your best benefit. I am also using the teachings of Bob Proctor from his Six minute success program as well, and using the two, together.

Putting this another way, those who are unable to accept a greater abundance in their mind, will have great difficulty in forming it in their lives. In other words, you need to believe, and know, before you have it materialise in your life. It is the foundation of faith, to see and conceive in your mind, what others may be unable to believe. However, when you look at any great victory over time, it is the result of careful planning before hand, to reach those goals that caused the result to materialise.

What Do I Mean By Prosperity from your Affairs in Order? Well, it's quite simple really.

I know that most of us want the very best that life has to offer, in terms of wealth, happiness, relationships that are meaningful, and so much more. The good news is that we can have all of these things, but we need to prepare and behave as if we already have all of this.

Wait, I hear you saying, what about the people who are just getting by, or maybe not even getting by. This is a great point and I hope to help you understand this a little better.

When we are in a state of lack, we need to act like we have made it. That does not mean put it on the credit card, however. I am referring to being grateful for all we already have, and being ready to accept more.

This may mean we need to tidy up our homes, to behave like we expect more room. Putting this another way, we need to create a sense of success, and also, allow a vacuum for what we want. The reason for this is that the universe abhors a vacuum and always wants to fill it.  When we 'ready' ourselves for that which we want, we more easily are able to attract it into our lives.

This is detailed in very clear terms in the books by Catherine Ponder, like Prosperity, and  The Millionaires of the Bible series.

"If I had to select one quality, one personal characteristic that I regard as being most highly correlated with success, whatever the field, I would pick the trait of persistence."

I feel very privillaged to have been able to benefit from reading this fine book by Norman Vincent Peal. The Art Of Living is a book written in a way that simply flows, and makes it easy to flow from page to page.

I think the best way I can describe it is like being uplifted, and seeing that something that seemed so difficult explained in a really simple and straight forward way. I genuinely believe that this is a talent that should be cherished, in that it is not easy to always convey ideas in the written word.

In my case, I am practicing daily, and I think, am getting better at it, but realize there is a still a way to go. However, my point today, being that I want to share a great book with you, as well as the point of it.

We all face problems, it is a part of daily living.  However, for many of us, we can easily become defeated by this, until we understand the importance of problems in our lives.

Problems in Our Lives

You might well be asking if I have lost my mind. I can assure you that I am very lucid, and equally, sincere in that problems make us better people, and can also help us become wealthier.

What and how, I might hear you ask.

Look at it this way.

When we are faced with a problem, ( I prefer to call it a challenge), we are -laced in a position where we must solve it. If we did not have any probnlems, you might think that it would be a simple life, but actually, you would stagnate, and become less effective and happy.

Problem solving is what makes the world go round, and us better peopkle.

Look at the simple example, as one idea, of books.

By having books, and reading them, we are able to answer questions we had (problems), and find solutions.

Has it ever occurred to you that the wealthiest people on earth are problem solvers.

They are CEO,s managers, and the like.

Equally, in your own life, you can create a solution to people’s problems, in the form of writing an eBook, available for distribution on the net, etc.

It is so much easier to self publish books online these days, as an example.

There really is so much that you can do to move ahead…

Just grab your ideas, and go with them.

It’s about actioon, and that will deliver the results from life you want.

Life is too short- make the most of it.

I wanted to run across a point you have no doubt heard many times before, but maybe not in the words I am going to use.

I have also found that hearing the same lesson from different people is often interpreted differently, and I want to relate a story regarding some teachers I have had at college to clarify this point.

I had been studying a computing subject (programming language) that I had not been able to ifully understand, even though I had numerous classes, with different teachers on the subject.

Around three years later, I had a class with a different teacher, who taught the same subject.

At that time, the ideas and concepts became very much clearer, and I remember to this day, the feeling of incredulity, and amasement that all of a sudden, the ‘penny had dropped, and the material had sunk in.

I have often thought about this experience, and realise that in life, we often go through experiences in a similar vain, on different paths of our lives.

I had on many occasions, thought of quitting that computing subject, and simply giving up.

However, that would then mean I had no more chance at getting an understanding in that subject, which formed part of my curriculum.

It woud also mean that I would always be thinking, “What If?”

I have also found, in my case, that complex subjects have only really sunk in, after the event, by some time.

Persistance

My point here is that if we give up, when the going gets tough, we reduce our chances of getting what we want to Zero.

On the other hand, if you liken this concept to walking up a steep hill, you will remember that it is often the hardest, just before you reach the top.

I’m not sure if it is psychological or not, but I suspect it is similar for everyone, as everyone ZI have spoken to, and all the books I have read have referred to a similar experience.

I can only hope that I have adequately encouraged you ro always be persistant, and head for your dreams, and goals, no matter how tough it may seem at the time.

Beter still, it gets much better when you can look back and say, “I did it”!

You will feel all the effort was worth while, and be motivated, from each success, to move to the next level.
