The most challenging aspect in learning how to attract prosperity into your life is the ability to “know” that you’re prosperous – even when you don’t yet feel as if you are!
“Prosperity is a way of living and thinking, and not just money or things. Poverty is a way of living and thinking, and not just a lack of money or things.”–Eric Butterworth
Obviously, when your outer circumstances keep reflecting the illusion of lack, it’s quite easy to become frustrated and think your attraction attempts aren’t working. However, that very frustration is what will keep you locked into the cycle of lack!
“A little prosperity and peace, or even a turn slightly for the better, can bring us feelings of self-sufficiency. We can feel quickly that we are in control of our lives, that the change for the better is our own doing, not that of a God who communicates to us through the still, small voice of the Spirit.”–Henry B Eyring
In order to break from the “illusion of lack,” you will have to use the power of your “will” to diminish the energy you have invested in it previously.
How do you invest energy into the creation of lack?
1. By constantly thinking about it and focusing on it.
2. By constantly affirming that it exists in your life.
3. By complaining about it to others.
4. By identifying with the lack you see in the world around you.
You see, the more attention and energy you give to the existence of lack, the more “lack” you attract back to yourself.
In order to attract prosperity and abundance into your life, you must begin by focusing on the opposite end of the spectrum!
a. Constantly think about and focus on prosperity and abundance into your life.
However, NOT from a place of need, fear or anxiety – but from a place of joy, confidence and optimism that it is already yours.
b. Constantly affirm that you are a natural prosperity magnet, and great abundance flows into your life easily and frequently.
c. Share the wonderful things that happen to you with others.
Rather than complaining about the bad stuff, share the good stuff and encourage the people in your life to do the same.
d. Pay attention to the great abundance that surrounds you at all times.
This includes the material possessions, people and blessings you have in your life, as well as, the expressions of abundance you encounter while out in the world.
Instead of feeling envious of rich and successful people, imagine that the universe has just held up a mirror to let you know that YOU can also be just as rich and successful.
Most importantly, develop the inner “knowing” that you can CHOOSE prosperity and abundance, just as easily as you chose lack and struggle.
The Law of Prosperity: Wealth, not poverty. [Give and it shall be given to you.]
“Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe.”–Gail Devers
It may be hard for you to believe that you’ve chosen lack and struggle (who in their right minds would?) – but it’s very possible to choose by default.
Unless you consciously choose to be prosperous, it’s like sitting in the back seat of your car and expecting it to deliver you to your desired destination. You will have to get in the front set and get behind the wheel and DRIVE!
Recite this affirmation several times a day:
“I KNOW I am a powerful creator in my own right, and I CHOOSE the harmonious flow of prosperity and abundance NOW.”
When you first start saying it, you’ll probably feel as if you’re lying. That’s because deep down inside, you really don’t “know” any such thing. But keep at it. Keep saying the affirmation with strength and power and conviction in your voice, and you really will start to believe it.
“If you believe you can, you probably can. If you believe you won’t, you most assuredly won’t. Belief is the ignition switch that gets you off the launching pad.”–Denis Waitley
“If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.” –Mahatma Gandhi
And that’s when everything in your outer circumstances will begin to shift towardsattracting the prosperity and abundance you “know” you deserve.

A very inspiring article. What we believe we bring about. Angela, thanks for sharing. I will like and share for you.
Excellent post Angela and great quotes. Thanks for sharing.
Angela, great work. I would add that it is not just the words. You need to build a strong vibrant image in your mind of what you truly desire. The vision needs to be in full bright colour and filled with all the sounds and smells that come with achieving your desired goal. It helps to start with the things that are most immediately desired to build your visionary muscles. The stronger your visionary muscle is the bigger dreams it can lift and the more you can achieve. Cheers Peter
