7 Steps to Gaining Greater Abundance

There are certainly gaps betwee
The Secret movie and how tonapply the Law of Attraction. Many people watch the movie,nbecome all excited about manifesting abundance, think aboutna life of prosperity, yet never take any action towardsnachieving it. It's like sitting at the kitchen table andnhumming in meditation while expecting money to fall throughnthe ceiling. It may be possible, however we don't seem tonhave evolved to that level of manifestation.

Let me share a few key steps that you must do to speed upnmanifesting abundance and prosperity in your life. When Inmention abundance and prosperity I mean in all areas ofnyour life: spiritual, mental, physical, social and financial.

Know exactly what you want
The biggest reason people keep falling into poverty or lacknabundance and prosperity is they do not have a clear mentalnimage of exactly how they want their lives to be. Most peoplenknow what's wrong and can give you a big long list; someneven know how they don't want their lives to be, but verynfew know the perfect life they would like to live every day.

By another name it is called a Vision. "Where there is nonvision, the people perish" (Prov 28:19); perish into thengrips of poverty, lack, sickness and fear.

Once we truly understand the mind, its connection with Godnand our Body, and our mind's purpose, we can no longer livenby focusing on our current circumstances. One of the sixnfaculties of the conscious mind is our imagination.

The purpose of our imagination is to be able to create the imagenof how we want things to be regardless of how our lifenpresently is. The challenge is that for most people thei
imagination faculty peaks at about eight or nine years oldnand hasn't been used much since.

By the time we become a teenager we are told to pull ournhead out of the clouds and be realistic. Most people becomenreally good at imagining how terrible things will be,nand then being filled with doubt and worry. We must re-trainnour imagination, create beautiful pictures of exactly hownwe want our life to be and then live in that image with faithnand peace.

Here are steps to re-focus your mind andnre-train your imagination:

Step 1
To know exactly what you want, take out a pen and paper andnwrite down what is not working in your life. Could you
marriage be better? Do you have the money you need to do andnbuy the things you want? Do you have an illness or are oftennsick? Are you unhappy? Are you working at a job you hate?

Step 2
Now write on another sheet of paper in present tense exactlynhow you do want each of those things to be. Don't just write
I want a better relationship, write in detail exactly whatnyou want to do, have and become. For example, I have a lovingnfulfilled relationship with my husband. We spend time everynday together communicating and falling more in love. We enjoynfrequent romantic times together. Describe your life exactlynhow you want it to be.

Step 3
Once you have completed that task, throw away or burn thenfirst list you made of what is not working. You don't wantnto read or focus on that ever again.

Step 4
Re-read your new life at least twice a day, when you wake upnfirst thing in the morning and just before you go to sleep atnnight. Just like a child, pretend that it already is and addnemotion to it as if it has already happened. Re-writing you
new life increases clarity, emotion and expectation.

Step 5
Only speak to others about how your new life is. Our wordsncreate our world so our confessions or what we speak out aboutnour circumstances creates our circumstances. If you continuallynspeak to others about what's going wrong in your life then thatnis what you attract. Start speaking with excitement about hownyour new life looks.

Step 6
Have faith ... just believe!
Many people just want good things to happen and want abundancenand yet doubt about whether it can happen or worry about thenworst happening. This is using the law of attraction to createna life that you don't want as we will always attract what wenemotionally focus on. Worry and doubt create the huge emotionnof fear.

Step 7
Be expectant and grateful. Expectation propels you into actionnand draws you closer to your goals. If you really desirensomething in your life there are certain steps you must take.
For example, if you desired to travel to Hawaii for a holidaynyou would have to decide when you are going, buy a suitcase,ninquire about tickets, hotels etc. What do you need to donright now if you truly expect your new life?

Gratitude is the other key ingredient which is often overlookednby people but absolutely essential if you want to attractnanything more into your life.

If you are grateful for what you already have and expect morenwith the faith that you will have it, your life will be fillednwith a greater abundance that you now cannot comprehend. Younmust be grateful for your new life as if you already have it!

There are conditions of receiving and that is first of allnknowing what you want, asking, and then believing you have itnalready. In less than 30 days and with very little effort younwill completely alter your focus and bounce out of bed everynday with the vision of your new life. Your life and circumstancesnwill begin to change and you will see miracles start to unfold.
