Create Abundance During Rocky Economic Climate

The endless reports of the current rocky economic climate, exacerbates fear in the majority of people. However, you can avoid getting caught up in the mass fear consciousness. This is a good time to consider spending money in a responsible fashion on things that are meaningful to you. In the past you might have spent your money with little thought, splurging or compulsively. This pattern may be the result of a need to fill emptiness. Instead of acquiring things out of a sense of purposelessness, you can think about what you really need. By filling your life with things that are meaningful to you, you make good use of your resources.

Remember your attitude is everything. Maintain a positive and proactive attitude with your finances. Make a list of the many ways you can recession-proof your life and take positive action. During a rocky economic climate is an excellent time to sharpen your financial skills. Invest time, energy and a few dollars to acquire financial knowledge. It is a well-known fact, knowledge is power and now is a great time to acquire financial knowledge.

Harnessing the bounty of the universe in healthy and meaningful ways will help you enhance your life. You might be inclined to save your resources only at certain times. At other times, you might spend with abandon and acquire things solely for the sake of filling a void. It is important to strike a balance between these extremes. When you use your resources in a meaningful way, you spend your resources conscientiously and avoid the mass consciousness. Allowing yourself to spend your resources in a healthy way will give you pleasure or add meaning to your life. Thus, you will feel good about the way you manage your resources and create abundance in spite of a rocky economic climate.

How Can We Prosper Despite Today's Financial Climate of Fear?

Recently a number of things happened in my life that I felt were out of congruence with the spiritual way of living: My husband had an emergency appendectomy, and the bills were beginning to pile up. Many things were out of kilter and I couldn't figure out why.

Then friends and family came forward and supported us with their presence and their prayers. My husband recovered more quickly than was expected; our finances began coming into alignment with our consciousness of abundance, and we were grateful as we saw our life together as a blessing.

There is a story about a little boy who was expecting to receive his birthday present. He was led to a barn, but when he opened the door there was nothing but manure on the floor. The little boy yelled with excitement. He dashed into the barn and began digging through the manure. When he was asked what he was so happy about, he answered, "with all this manure there has to be a pony in here someplace!" He knew there was good in store for him. There is always light at the end of the tunnel. The good is always there. But we must know it to receive it. That is the secret. That is the way.

What can we do to change the direction of our lives and affairs? Our thoughts, words and belief are more powerful that we realize. When we think, believe it and absolutely know good is happening and in such a clear way that we can see it, we can create healing of our body and healing of our finances. As we think, so it is. As it was for the little boy when he expected a pony so clearly the pony absolutely had to be there and he knew it so completely that he was willing to dig through the manure. That is how we create healing, abundance and prosperity in our lives. We know it and see it so clearly that we act as if it already is. It is when we absolutely know that good is in store for us, when we know that in fact it is already there that we receive.

Even when things seem to go wrong in life, there is a meaning and a purpose behind the circumstances. Ask yourself, "Where's the pony in this situation?" Expect a blessing and it will come. Visualize money flowing into your life from various sources. Think about your bank statement with higher amounts than what is present at this moment. Make a vision board that displays pictures and words of what you want and need and how you want your life to be. The most important step of all is to give thanks for all of the good that is flowing into your life even before you see it. The universe supplies what we ask for knowing it is already there. It is the belief and the absolute knowing and trusting that creates it and makes it so.

AffirmationToday I look for the blessing in my experience. I know that God means everything for good and I see it as already done and complete and I give thanks for it.
