WEALTH CONSCIOUSNESS LEADS TO WEALTH-GENERATING ACTIONS
Deepak Chopra said that if you want to be rich, you must first be rich in consciousness. Consciousness is an awareness of what you have and what you can have if you're willing to dream big, and it helps you to co-create whatever you desire. It's the soil in which you can plant your seeds of prosperity.
Wealth consciousness is also the awareness of the nature of abundance, and of your ability to work with its flow to manifest riches in your life. Once you have this mind-set, no one can take it away from you, and you can use it at any time. The only thing blocking you from attaining it is old habits of thinking, feeling, and behaving-habits that you can consciously choose to replace so that it feels easy and natural to maintain an attitude of wealth consciousness. In this state, you'll be able to easily access the enthusiasm and drive to act in ways that foster and nurture your abundance.
However, even if you're in a state of wealth consciousness most of the time, you'll still have to act. Action is key to manifesting your dreams in the physical world. I spent many years reading self-help books, attending lectures on empowerment by all sorts of inspirational speakers, and listening to every self- improvement tape I could find ... but none of this mattered until I finally had an epiphany: Understanding isn't enough. You have to apply what you know.
The key to a treasure chest does you no good if you don't put it in the lock and turn it. You can memorize all 21 Distinctions of Wealth, but you won't experience their power until you apply them to your life and live by them.
