SEEKING PROSPERITY

In these hard times everyone is looking for a way to turn things around for themselves. Many of us today have already learned about the principals that were presented in The Secret and we understand the Law of Attraction. I think we are not only trying to get our "checks in balance " (so to speak) but we are seeking something much greater and more important than money. Contentment is the most important place to arrive in life and it is a constant struggle to get to it and also to maintain it. You might have a fleeting moment where all is right with the world and months later you find yourself in a darker place. We walk in and out of rooms with different shades of light. Our happiness, we realize, has nothing to do with our external reality. It's something that comes from a place within and when we feel it or find it, suddenly we start to attract the good stuff so we feel even happier.

We have been going through some tough times lately and many of us try to make sense of it all. We can only be responsible for ourselves and digging ourselves out of whatever holes we have created. There's nothing wrong with reaching for the help of others as we dig ourselves out but it is our responsibility to turn our lives around and only we can do that. Wouldn't it be nice to hand the shovel to someone else and say, "I'll take a rest and you dig", and then sit back while they do all the work? If that were the case, we wouldn't learn the lessons we were meant to learn. It's like paying someone to take a test for you (and that is not as uncommon as you might think).

People can only get away with such things up to a point and then it starts to catch up with them. At some point we all have to pay the piper. The upside of this is that we begin to realize just how much control we do have over what we can achieve and what we can do to prevent our own ruin. There is always a destructive force that is working it's way into our hearts and we have to be strong and fight it every minute of everyday. We have to turn ourselves toward the light and make right choices as often as we can. Results come from right action. Prosperity comes when we clean up our act and make room for all the good that wants to come into our lives. Prosperity is merely a shift in consciousness.
