There is nothing in the moving world but the mind itself.” Hindu Sutra

Have you ever stopped to notice the overflowing abundance of nature and wondered if you too were born to prosper naturally?

If prosperity is a natural condition, then why does it seem so hard? Because, unlike the rest of nature, we human must exercise choice in the development of our prosperity. To be human is to be self-aware with the ability to choose higher consciousness. Choice is the means and the end. Our growth – our prosperity-comes from our choice in the way we use our mind.

We are part of nature, but we are not blown by the wind and planted in the earth. We can decide where and when to plant our seeds. That is under our control. We can live life being a victim, being dependent, responding automatically, or playing it safe in every way..and we may well survive. But if we want to plant those seeds of prosperity that we are born with, we must deliverately choose to do so.

Over the next couple of days I will share with you how to develop your consciousness of prosperity and how to observe every day what you are creating with your thoughts.

In the mean time…write out 10 items/people/circumstances you are grateful for in this very moment.
