Develop your Inner Prosperity
My favorite definition of prosperity: "The light and happy life."These words remind us that prosperity is not to have a solid bank account or home loaded with antiques and hung with priceless paintings. Many of the richest people in the world does not prosper. Billionaire Howard Hughes, dying of malnutrition and malnutrition, has created a stunning image of a "rich man poor." I myself have met a lot of wealthy people who are constantly worried about money.
On the other hand, I once had occasion to spend a day in the society is always smiling Buddhist monk in Thailand, which had no possessions, but it could be called truly prosperous person.Our internal prosperity has little to do with our wealth.
We often assume that if we have money and possessions, then let us feel prosperous and live in safety, but true prosperity comes not from the outside, "I". It comes from our deep "I" of life in a carefree time. Prosperity - a state of mind rather than a bank account. This means that we feel safe, we are relaxed, have a sense of freedom and abundance. This means that we never worried about money, as do know that the universe provides us with the necessary. And because the world reflects our inner prosperity, it also means that we attract to yourself and money, and other sources of income, and it all happens with ease.
In order to develop the internal prosperity, imagine that you are doing well financially. Imagine your life. Where do you live? What are you surround? How do you spend your free time? Imagine it yourself as vividly as possible, using all the senses. Now focus on how you feel at this. What do you feel like a prosperous people?That's just this feeling of prosperity and the need to cultivate and develop in themselves and start doing it right now!
Next step: Proceed as if you are already a flourishing people.This does not mean that you should just spend all their savings or go to town to start! When we mistakenly identify prosperity with money, we begin to believe what they give us success. Thus, a vicious circle in which the decision is part of the problem. Always remember that prosperity has little to do with money!
Act in the "as if" means that you must change your lifestyle. Most often in the details that have so important an inner sense of prosperity. If you live easily and happily in the world, what would your life different? Perhaps you would do something at your leisure, but can not afford it now, referring to his employment. (My prosperous "I" likes long walks in the countryside, play guitar, read poetry, and sometimes even take a nap in the afternoon.) You might want to throw out the old, dilapidated furniture or your clothes, which is called "a cheap and cheerful", and Instead, let to buy a little, but nice expensive clothes.
Perhaps you'd like to meet more often with friends and loved ones to rest together. Or would you like to travel, or grow flowers in the house. Whatever it was, but now do this prosperity is not entirely an inner sense. If you are, of course, do not live in the monastery, the money will certainly come in handy! But so: long as you do not have the internal income, you can not make a lot of money or obtain other sources of income. You will not be easy to attract money, and then you start to worry and hope for their savings, deferred, "just in case", rather than spend them and enrich their lives. I know one woman who put aside every penny that she could, for 40 years in marriage. She did it "to the extreme case of" if the husband suddenly left her. He did not, but money has always remained the cause of her chronic insecurity and anxiety.
Many of us start fantasizing that suddenly win the lottery or get a huge amount of the inheritance from the defunct aunt. But here the truth is that while we hope to get no money, and the feeling of relaxation, security, freedom, joy, and increased opportunities for spiritual growth. We want to get what's available to us right now and is inside us!
