Money Magnet - Chapter 5

Learn to Agree with Abundance 

In order to make your feelings right, you've got to agree that abundance and wealth is natural. You can't look at abundance and wealth with anger or envy when you see others earning and enjoying it, and you can't become abundant or wealthy if you exclude yourself.

So when you see a person in a limousine who is wearing fine clothes, if you say, consciously or subconsciously, "What a showoff. That lifestyle is not for me." you deny your potential or create wealth. Remember, you create more of whatever you focus on. Whatever you are experiencing in your life right now is what you have been focusing on either consciously or unconsciously – no exceptions.

I will admit it isn't easy for most ordinary people to look at extreme manifestations of wealth and really believe they can have the same manifestations in their life. Their ego is too racked with jealousy or inadequacy and judgment.

We'll look at a multi-million dollar house and say, "That's not my kind of house." We see expensive things and say, "That's far too much or too expensive for me." But, in order to experience true abundance, you must be able to identify with wealth. You have to be able to join in with your feelings.

What I am saying here is that it's not vital to your financial success that you can instantly visualize yourself in the Presidential Suite of a five-star hotel - providing you don't deny yourself the possibility.

In other words, you may say, "I don't have to stay at the Four Seasons Hotel, but it's certainly something I could do if I really wanted to; it's certainly something that I am pleased exists. Moreover, I'm thrilled for the people checking into the Presidential Suite right now."

In this way, you switch from the negative affirmation that money is bad or that you are a victim of poverty, to the idea that money is neutral and abundance is natural. So, acknowledging abundance as a daily affirmation should be a part of your disciplined action plan.
