![]() Barbara Berger Many of the people I talk to have negative programs about money. If you take time to notice, without being aware of it, people quickly reveal their beliefs about money and prosperity. Many people believe in lack and believe they'll never be prosperous. And some even believe they don't deserve to be prosperous. Maybe it is because we heard ideas like these when we were growing up: Money doesn't grow on trees. Money is the root of all evil.
If we heard phrases like this, we can ask ourselves, do such ideas improve the quality of our life? Do they make us happy, healthy, and prosperous? What Is Money? So let’s take a look at money. What is money, in fact? Well as far as I can see, money is just a symbol, a symbol of energy. Money, we can say, represents the substance or matter of our universe. Einstein's theory of relativity demonstrated the interchangeability of substance or matter and energy. Scientists also tell us that there is an infinite supply of substance (matter) and energy and that there is no limit to or lack of substance or energy in this universe. If this is true, then why should we lack? Poverty Causes Misery So let’s look again at money. If we do, we can quickly see that money is not the source of misery, violence, crime, revolution, drug addiction, or unhappiness – poverty is. If we look closely at the stories behind the bad news, we find that poverty is almost always behind violence, crime, misery, drug addiction and unhappiness between people. So it's pretty easy to conclude that: Poverty is no fun. It's harder to be happy if you are poor. Financial problems and pressures are terribly stressful. Financial problems and pressures often cause nervous breakdowns. Poverty can drive people to drink and drugs. Poverty is not only uncomfortable, it is a degrading experience. Nobody really wants to be poor. Normal, healthy people want to have enough money to enjoy the good things in life. If we're honest with ourselves, we'll have to admit that this is true. We all have a deep desire to enjoy the blessings and abundance of this infinite universe even though most of us have been brought up to believe that wealth is sinful. But if we recognize that we live in an abundant universe, why shouldn't we enjoy all the Good the universe has for us? Attitudes Toward Money Since our attitudes govern our lives and determine what we attract into our lives, our attitudes toward money determine whether we live a life of lack or one of increasing prosperity. So we can ask ourselves: Do we bless our money? Do we give thanks for the blessings we already have? Do we feel we deserve abundance? And if not, why not? Do we believe there is more than enough for everyone? Focus on Prosperity Many wise people have discovered the following. If we focus on prosperity, our income will increase. Since we always manifest what we focus on, when we focus on abundance, when we feel we deserve abundance, when we joyfully accept and praise the money we have right now, we automatically attract more money. The Law of Mind says:
Like attracts like Most people are using the law of attraction to do the opposite – to stay poor. Without being aware of it, they focus on and create lack in their lives by complaining about their lack of money, the high level of taxes, the high cost of living, the government, the high level of unemployment, and so forth. Change Your Money Program So here’s what I suggest: If you want to change your relationship to money, it’s a good idea to stop talking about lack. Refuse to listen to people who complain about lack. Don't participate in conversations about lack. And don't think negative thoughts about your financial situation, about the money in your bank account, or about your debts. And how about this one: Instead of resenting your debts, try this. Regard every bill that drops into your mailbox as a sign that someone trusted you. They trusted you enough and believed enough in your ability to pay for these goods and services to actually give you the stuff in advance, way before you paid for it! What faith! Actually, you should bless all these bills because they are a symbol of your ability to pay for whatever you now have in your life! Clean Up Your Act So it's very simple. Since money is a symbol of the abundance of the universe, it's very important that we clean up our mental act in relation to money. And don't limit ourselves to a "fixed income" either. Remember, we live in an infinite universe, so abundance can come to us from many sources. So be open to new channels of supply. Be aware that our Good can come from expected and unexpected sources. Affirm daily that our Good is increasing and that it's on its way to us right now. Affirm daily that you are open and receptive to a major increase in your level of prosperity right here and right now. Say yes to new Good in your life. For example, we can affirm and decree things like: I give thanks that the Universe now richly provides! or I am open and receptive to increasing prosperity in my life, right here and right now!
