FEAR OF PROSPERITY

 At the beginning I  devoted my work in the 1990s, long before The Secret, to abundance/prosperity principles. People were intrigued. It was a new concept for most and the idea of a Law of Attraction was compelling.

Now these principles are more mainstream. People are more familiar in general with the ideas. Now that I am focusing my practice on one thing, helping people to live prosperous lives, I find that the first response is fear. There's an innate fear around the issue of prosperity.

First you need to define prosperity for yourself so it isn't so frightening. Prosperity can be about money but it is also about better relationships, making necessary changes, surviving a major life transition, a loss (of a loved one, a job or a home for example). Prosperity implies expansion. Expansion means you can't stand in one place anymore. You have to move from where you are standing in your beliefs and your reality. That is terrifying. Change often means letting go of something, and letting go means a loss of something.  Maybe it's an aspect of yourself, an attachment or even a person or a job. The normal response to having something taken away from you is to grab onto it harder and not let go. Whatever or whoever is trying to take that away suddenly becomes the enemy. Loss always ends in gain. Always. Movement always implies progress. Expansion will always make you a better person and you will have more joy, more love in your life and maybe even more money!
