subject: Abundance & Prosperity - 3 Techniques That Don't Work [print this page] The Internet is just chock full of advice about how to create abundance and prosperity in your life, some of it good and some of it, well let's just say, not so good...
Here are three abundance and prosperity "techniques" you'll find all over the place "out there", which just plain don't work or, at best, don't work near as well as some would have you believe they do:
Abundance and Prosperity Technique #1 - Vision Boards and Vision Boxes
A "vision board" is essentially a poster or collage with, more often than not, a hodgepodge of pictures pasted on it of all the things you want and/or representing what your life will be like when you get what you want, usually accompanied by all sorts of "affirmations" and cutesy sayings.
Somewhat of a variation on the theme, a "vision box" is essentially a box in which you put things representing the things you want.
Here's the deal...
In order to become part of your everyday reality...
Your "vision" needs to be in your head as *your* already accomplished reality, not on a "board", which quickly becomes like wallpaper you don't even notice after awhile, or in a "box", where it's out of sight and thus, quickly forgotten.
Abundance and Prosperity Technique #2 - Gratitude Crystals and Gratitude Stones
A gratitude crystal or gratitude stone, which all sorts of presumably well-meaning folks out there would be glad to sell you, is a "special" crystal or stone you carry around with you and whenever you touch it, you think of something to be grateful for.
Why not just start being grateful and expressing your gratitude?
Don't know where to start?
Well...
If you believe as I do that all is one and one is all, that everything is just a manifestation of one thing, why not start by saying thank you to others when they do something for you or give you something?
As my son, in all his youthful wisdom, once informed me, when we were discussing the subject, saying thank you to one is saying thank you to all.
Hmmm...
And he doesn't even have a gratitude crystal or stone. :-)
Abundance and Prosperity Technique #3 - Looking for Money on the Ground
My personal favorite...
I guess the thought here is God just sits around all day plopping money on the ground for you to find and you can, so they tell me, "train yourself to receive" by looking for it.
The truth is someone lost that money and you're doing little more than training yourself to look for something for nothing, which, quite frankly, won't get you the abundance and prosperity you desire.
Here's a novel idea...
Why not "train yourself" to *GIVE* instead?
Then you'll be setting yourself up to receive *real* abundance and prosperity in your life, the kind that lasts!
Vision boards and vision boxes, gratitude crystals and gratitude stones, and looking for money on the ground may sound good in theory, but the reality is they just plain don't work, or at best, don't work near as well as some would have you believe they do.
