We are taught in the self improvement arena that to create abundance in our lives we must first see abundance in our minds. However, sometimes it is hard to notice all the abundance when the world at large is constantly showing us all the lack! A fast peek at the news today will confirm this.  It is clear to see that our society is being guided into a serious "lack" mentality and being lead to accept a "scarcity" mindset.

Now, the Law of Attraction works through focus; what you place your focus on tends to expand in your life. So if your focus is repeatedly being drawn to what you do not have, or what you lack in your life and the fear that what you already have may be taken away from you, there can be only one outcome – lack and loss!

If you doubt this, just consider the stories which are making the news right now. A world recession is said to be affecting the entire planet and it is apparently the worse recession anyone has ever experienced (although they tend to forget about The Great Depression. Wasn’t that the worst?)!  

The downfall of the banking and lending market worldwide, the credit slide in the United Kingdom and fall of housing prices and sales in the USA and UK are all said to be affecting the economy. Repossessions are at an all time high. Wage demands in both private and non-private sectors are being quashed as business lose massive amounts of turn-over while the price of oil, gas and basic foods sky-rocket out of control.  

What on earth is going on? 

Now, just like in The Great Depression there are fortunes being made everyday! Some people are not being “hit” by this recession and most likely will never be hit by any! Why? Because they just refuse to “buy into it”! 

The people who thrive during economic crises are those people who maintain a “prosperity consciousness” and eliminate all form of lack from their minds!

Everyone of us was born displaying these same qualities. However, peers, parents, siblings and the world at large (not to mention the media!) have trained us to think differently! 

We were born with a surplus mentality, secure in the realization that we reside in an abundant universe of which we are a part and that it is our natural state to be prosperous. All we have to do is allow that prosperity and abundance to come to us.  Courses like the Sedona Method and the Release Technique teach us that our natural state is one of unlimitedness and abundance.

It’s time we embraced this and starting living life from a feeling of “having” rather than a feeling of “wanting”.

Let’s look at this from a simple perspective: When Joe decides to “play it safe” and not buy a coat from Suzy, then Suzy can’t afford to buy a new TV from Hank and so Hank can’t afford to buy a pair of shoes from Sid. Before you know it everyone is feeling the lack and trying to stop their own spending and they all lose their jobs because no-one is buying their products! I know this is an over-simplification but I’m sure you get the point! 

Fear lies in the subconscious mind and is the father of “lack”! So my advice is to clean up your subconscious mind and turn off the TV!
