Four Steps to Activating Your Abundance
Some people live ninety years; some people live one year ninety times. You can live a life marked by discontent and restlessness, or you can choose to live a life overflowing with abundance.
What kind of life would you choose for yourself?
Step 1: Ask yourself whether you are willing to live in abundance.
People who achieve success in life are not lucky. Living life to its fullest is not accidental. The people who live in an ever-improving state of well-being do things a certain way. They have learned the secrets of the laws of the universe, and they practice them with increasing skill throughout their lives.
Anyone can have abundance in life. We are supposed to have abundance. We are meant for it. The universe doesn’t hold back our abundance; we hold it from ourselves.
Your first step is to ask yourself a question: Would it really be okay if the universe opened the door for you? Would it really be okay if you began to live with greater abundance? Are you willing?
Step 2: Say Yes!
You set new things in motion with that single word. If you say “Yes,” a really wholehearted “Yes,” new things will happen just by that “Yes!” If your answer is, “What does that mean?” or “What do I have to give up?” or “What new things will come into my life?” then you are hesitant. You are not able to manage a broader level of experience because you are not willing.
But if you say “I really want to live in harmony, I really want to live in the abundance of the universe,” then your life will begin to grow in abundance.
Step 3: Grasp your “Set Point.”
Somewhere in your belief system, you have a set point for how much abundance you believe you’re entitled to. If you want to know what your set point is, look at your life. We create the lives we believe we ought to have: a certain amount of love, a certain amount of money, a certain amount of happiness. These beliefs may not be conscious, but they are still there, controlling our level of abundance.
Of course, sometimes something extraordinary overcomes our set point. We might receive an inheritance, or someone could take us out to dinner. Surprising, wonderful things can come into our lives, but unless we have built a consciousness that can retain the experience and make it ours, we will find some way to get rid of it. Over 90% of lottery winners return to their original incomes within three years of winning the lottery—even those who win millions of dollars. Somehow they spend money, give money away, buy things that lose value, until they have no winnings left, and they have returned to their set point. To really win the lottery, you have to build a consciousness that attracts, accepts and stabilizes abundance.
There is no set point in the universe. The set point is marked by our own thinking. Pay attention to your set point and how it plays out in relationships, finances, and the freedom and flow with which you move through the material world. Allow subconscious beliefs and attitudes to surface so you can look at them and decide whether they are true or just an old belief that needs to be replaced.
Step 4: Pour clean water in a muddy bucket.
If you have a bucket with muddy water in the bottom, you don’t have to rinse the mud out. You just begin adding clear water. As you begin the process of activating abundance, you will begin to understand the beliefs in your mind that say “No.” For example, maybe you have a subconscious belief that there’s something more spiritual in poverty than in wealth. It doesn’t matter where this belief comes from. You don’t need to understand the roots of your beliefs, and you don’t have to dig them out. Just focus on your “Yes!” Pour in the clear water, and eventually every limitation will be gone.
You get to choose what kind of life you are going to live.
To Your Abundant LIFE!
