Prosperity Is All About Gratitude - Courtesy of Sandra & Ed Hayes

Andy Andrews is one of my favorite authors and speakers. An exercise he recommends is to start your day by listing 10 things you are thankful for. I do this frequently and Andy is right. As you actually write down the things in life that you are thankful for, it's impossible to be anxious, worried or sad. Seemingly simple things like life, health, family, home, money, friends, clothing, food, pets,and freedom we often take for granted. If you break those 10 down into more specifics you can see how really blessed you are. Instead of a sense of lack, you now have a sense of prosperity because it is all about gratitude.

The person Andy uses in his book, The Traveler's Gift, to demonstrate the decision to be happy is Anne Frank. As we meet Anne in the annex where her family is hiding from the Nazis, she is excited about the sunshine she can see through a tiny bit of window. She is grateful for the meager food that is brought to her family. She is grateful for the love she experiences in her hideout. So we find ourselves thinking, if Anne Frank can find reasons to be grateful, certainly I can too.

Now let's take this idea of gratitude into the Law of Attraction arena. According to the Law of Attraction, we get more of whatever we give our attention, energy and focus to. So if you are giving your attention, energy and focus to the blessings in your life, you will receive more of these blessings. Isn't that a truly refreshing and uplifting thought?

Right now, write down at least 10 things that your are thankful for in your life. Don't you feel a greater sense of prosperity already? I certainly do every time I do this exercise. Our creator desires to give us good things out of the abundance in creation. You may be looking for better results in some area of your life. By being grateful for opportunities, people, and experiences, I have been able to take my life to a higher level of prosperity than I ever dreamed I could. You can too. Give me a call. Meanwhile, remember that prosperity is all about gratitude.

The Dead Sea Concept - Sandra Hayes

The Dead Sea Concept
Do you know how the Dead Sea got its name? It does not support life. Water flows into the Dead Sea from the Jordan River but there is no outlet. The incoming water simply evaporates which keeps the concentration of salt and other minerals too high for anything to live there. I call this the Dead Sea Concept.

This concept also applies to many areas of life. Think of calories, possessions, money and even love. Let's focus on money. Money is energy and has the power to transform our world. The most efficient process for attracting an abundance of money into your life is to have a plan for where it is going. If you simply hoard it, it becomes toxic and loses its power to support life, just like the Dead Sea. Think Ebenezer Scrooge in A Christmas Carol.

However, if you have plans to tithe, invest, and make purchases with your money, it suddenly becomes vibrant and energetic. It causes us to feel emotions such as gratitude and enjoyment. It also brings about the same emotions in others. The people who receive our gifts also have gratitude, enjoyment and new hope for achieving something previously not possible. The companies we invest in now have the ability to accomplish more for themselves and our world. The merchants we purchase products from also prosper. Do you see how powerful our wealth is?

As you set goals for achieving more abundance in your life, remember the Dead Sea Concept. Have a plan for money to flow into as well as out of your life and you will be amazed at the changes you see. You will be able to contribute more to the world than you ever imagined. Would you like to be part of a business and a community who live this way everyday? It's about all of us becoming more abundant everyday in everyway.

To Your Abundance,
Sandra Hayes
