The Five Keys to Abundance

In 2007 the Movie the Secret began to make waves and draw attention to the Law of Attraction.  In this movie modern day avatars teach you how to live a life of abundance and happiness. The teachings break down into five basic keys to abundance.

First Key to Abundant Living

Live the Law of Attraction. The law of attraction states that what ever you give your thoughts and attention to this is what you draw into your life. To get a good understanding of this take a look around you, what do you currently have in your life that you want and that you don't want? This is what you have been giving your attention to. The key now is to apply the law of attraction in a purposeful way and draw in only what you want into your life. 

Second Key to Abundant Living

Your life is what you Focus on.  In basic terms if you are always complaining about your job then you will be brining more of what you hate about your job into your life. On the flip side if you are focusing on the prosperity of a new job while not complaining about your current work you will be drawing into your life a new and more abundant job. 

You must only focus on what you want. Is it lots of money, a happy family, a strong and healthy body, if you focus on what you do want instead of what you don't want then you will by law i.e. The Law of Attraction get what you want. Be careful what you wish for you just might get it.

Third Key to Abundant Living

Clear your mind everyday. I have heard told that our minds can have around 40,000 thoughts an hour. Wow, if you allow these thoughts to progress randomly you will be using all your minds energy on thoughts you are not controlling. 

In this third key to abundant living you must take control of what your mind thinks about. I have found that if I take 20 minutes out of each day and quietly focus on my happiness, abundance and prosperity that I quickly become in control of my thinking. Set time each day to clear your mind and gain control of your thoughts.

Fourth Key to Abundant Living

Be thankful for what you have in your life. Thank You, the two most powerful words in the world. I would say thankfulness is possibly the most important key to abundance and prosperity. You must be thankful for everything you have. The trick here is to really feel thankful. I do this by starting with something, like my children, that I am deeply and profoundly thankful for. Then I transfer that feeling, that emotion to something else like a tasty meal or my home. This feeling of thankfulness will allow more and more prosperity to enter your life. 

It is as simple as what we teach children. If you don't say thank you, you won't get any more gifts.

Fifth Key to Abundant Living

Live in the Now. You must believe that what you desire is now and really happening in your life. Think about this if you are afraid that your wallet will be stolen you can feel it. You can feel the pain of calling all your credit card companies and loosing the cash you had. Now take that same ability to feel and think about something you want. Do you want to have enough money to buy that new car you have been seeing on TV? Live in the now, imagine how it feels to have that new car, the smell the way it drives really take time to feel it. This living in the now is nothing more than your imagination or playing the way children play. You already know how to do that.

Now that you have the five keys to abundance you are ready to take action. This means get up off the sofa and so something toward getting the things you want in your life.
