Page 21 - 21 Distinctions of Wealth: Attract the Abundance You Deserve - PDFDrive.com

Look around at our world, lush with life and filled with strange and extraordinary creatures who remind us that the "impossible" is possible. (I once read that honeybees aren't supposed to be able to fly according to the laws of aerodynamics, but they do it anyway!) Think of the millions of microscopic creatures and countless leaves on all the trees in the world. What makes us think there isn't enough abundance to go around? Human beings in the most primitive living conditions have created art, music, tools, and new ideas and found resources to draw upon. The Divine gave us the ability to conceive and create, to think and to dream. So why don't we believe we can manifest what we desire?
As a goal-achievement coach, I've met many people who are held back from creating the lives of their dreams because of their strong negative feelings that actually block them from manifesting and receiving the riches they deserve. They generate the emotions of lack and guilt and lose faith that the Universe is there to co-create with them all that they long for. Their bodies actually create an energetic vibration that attracts people and situations mirroring their belief that they're lacking. They readily give up their birthright of abundance and creativity, as if it had no value, and leave behind their childlike willingness to dream and believe. Their resourcefulness slips away, and they can't recognize the wealth that's inside and all around them, just waiting to be claimed by them.

He then exchanged the money he made for fishing gear or accessories for his mountain bike. He, like so many children and young people, hasn't lost his ability to see the gold inside the Buddha. He recognizes the wealth around him and the resources he has within, such as his knowledge about skateboards and his cleverness. With the eyes of a child, he can recognize riches when he sees them and claim them for himself, without guilt or embarrassment.
You, too, have this ability to reclaim your birthright and start living a prosperous, abundant life. All you have to do is let go of the negative thoughts and feelings that have been blocking you and open yourself up to the gifts you
