Okay so you want to live abundantly and be successful in life. This is most definitely possible. To re-program your mind takes a lot of courage and hard work that not many people are willing to make those sacrifices short-term to reap the benefits in the medium to long-term. Isn’t it amazing (yet scary at the same time) to discover that only 5% of the world’s population actually write down their desires, goals and dreams in life? Something to definitely think about. Some people are all talk and no action. The truth is in the results.

Having attended many personal development seminars, as well as having read numerous books and listened to numerous CD’s on the subject of abundance and prosperity; below are the fundamental steps one must begin to take in order to attract what you really desire into your life. Abundance is your birthright, and to achieve financial abundance for instance you must ask for abundance in EVERY area of your life. As a life, abundance and prosperity coach I have come across people who think that I have my health, therefore I am not deserving of that loving, fulfilling relationship because I am healthy - how silly is that! You are entitled and deserve to be healthy and be in a loving, fulfilling relationship at the same time, and have a stack of cash too - yes you can have it all! In order to attract unlimited abundance into your life like I have initially you will have to:

Take responsibility for where you are at - at times we will experience some adversities and setbacks. The blame game is a very dumb game and will not get you anywhere. In every failure lies the seed of an equivalent success. Do not beat yourself up if things do not go your way. If you lose some money in the stock market for instance; do not blame the Government or the economy. Such an action will leave you feeling disempowered and miserable which will drop you into a poverty as opposed to a prosperity consciousness. This will hurt, however you and only you are responsible for that loss, in fact for all of your successes and failures you are responsible for all of the results you have achieved in life to date, and yes you are solely responsible for that massive credit card debt if you have one.

Once you accept the premise that you are responsible for everything you have achieved and experienced in your life to date, you are empowered and energetic, and you are vibrating towards an abundance and prosperity consciousness. Sometimes life is not rosy, and yes sometimes you do get handed lemons instead of lemonade - it is all about turning the lemons you have received into lemonade, and my abundance and prosperity coaching will ensure that you are vibrating at an abundance and prosperity consciousness so you do achieve the success you really want; together with the tools to bring you back up ‘above the line’ if you bump back down as life is meant to be balanced. We all suffer from time to time. We are response-able beings - able to respond to our circumstances. Who is responsible for Justine for instance? Justine is responsible for Justine, not anybody else.

In order to keep yourself vibrating with abundance and prosperity you really need to invest in yourself. Go to a few personal development and breakthrough seminars - it is absolutely worth it! It is interesting to observe that by attending these events you begin to hang around likeminded, positive and successful people, and the more you hang around such people in high energy positive environments; the more you become like them, and thus you naturally attract the people you want to be around while the negative people with a poverty consciousness drift away from your life - they are just not in your space anymore; as Esther Hicks says it so well in “The Secret” - an awesome movie to watch: “They zig while you zag.” So true.

Start reading books in your spare time - books such as “The Science of Getting Rich” by Wallace D Wattles and the Seven Secrets of Success by Deepak Chopra; start developing a personal development library; the best investment you can always make is definitely in yourself! The $25,000 I have invested in my own personal development over the last 2.5 years has paid off a thousand fold through dramatic income increases combined with a higher quality of life, people and opportunities surrounding me on a daily basis.

Keep affirming statements such as “no matter what I have done or not done I am worthy of love” for instance over and over again, at least 10 times a day; even more. This must be done everyday for at least 90 days as it takes a minimum of 30 days for the unconscious mind to form a habit - whether positive or negative as your unconscious mind does not know the difference. Also you must begin your journey of success with an attitude of gratitude - this is so critical. Invest in a fancy workbook and call it your ‘gratitude journal’ and write down at least five things to be grateful for everyday which cannot be taken for granted - from the house you live in to the friends you have. Your gratitude journal and your incantations must make you feel good! And must be positively framed!

Set yourself SMART and meaningful goals for the short, medium and long term. The universe will test you so it is important for instance that you only want to eat wholesome, life giving foods, you want to do this consistently for 90 days so it becomes a habit for you; so places like McDonald’s and foods like chocolate will keep appearing at you consistently because the universe is testing your commitment - this happens to all of us. So if your goal in the area of health for instance is to not eat any McDonald’s ever again; for the first 90 days after you have written up your goals; McDonald’s restaurants will keep appearing out of nowhere to test your commitment, and this test could also come in other ways; for instance if you eat out with friends and they say “let’s go to McDonald’s” temptation could easily give in so you need to watch out for this. Persistence is an integral key trait to getting what you want.

Focus on what you want, not on what you don’t want. Participate in events that raise your life force energy and not lower it. The law of opposites is also important; sacrifices are usually involved, and you must in order to succeed do the things that only successful people are willing to do; even if it means working on your new business venture while your friends are having a great time partying. Do whatever it takes in order to succeed and attract abundance and prosperity to you…so you end up going to more parties than your friends do! How cool is that? And most importantly…never ever give up on your dreams, goals and desires!
