P. 20
In your life, what golden Buddhas lie hidden beneath the mud? What qualities and resources have you forgotten about because you haven't considered just how valuable they are? What are your overlooked blessings? What do you possess that can be exchanged for what you most desire? You may be thinking, I don't have what it takes to be wealthy. I don't have the right skills, the education, the connections, or the time to create wealth. Yet if you look carefully, you might unearth talents, wisdom, qualities, resources, and ideas that are secretly worth a fortune.
Like everyone else, you were born with precious seeds of wealth ... but have you claimed them, planted them, and nourished them? Some people are born with a knack for making friends and networking with other people-they might know the very individual who can direct them to where they need to be in order to receive the riches that are ready to flow into their lives. Others are tremendously creative and hardworking by nature, but they end up squandering precious time and never planting the seeds of their ideas in fertile ground. Still other people are brilliant observers and communicators who have the potential to transform those exceptional talents into another form of abundance.
If you're blind to the gold beneath the surface of your Buddha, it's because you lack the positive emotions that would open your eyes and allow you to rediscover and claim your birthright-emotions such as faith, confidence, worthiness, joy, enthusiasm, and abundance. Yes, abundance is an emotion. Feel it and experience it and your eyes will open to all the affluence already present in your life. Then you'll attract even more of it to you. Your wealth is there before you-ready to be claimed, invested, exchanged, built upon, and enjoyed.
Wealth truly is every human being's birthright. The Divine doesn't want us to go without. That's why we're born with curious minds; the potential to think, speak, and create something new; and open hearts that are willing to trust and believe in the seemingly impossible. Try telling a child that she can't possibly become a princess in a castle and she's likely to roll her eyes at how unimaginative and foolish you are. Much too quickly, we lose our ability to believe that we can live a life of opulence and luxury.
