Cultivate a Prosperity Consciousness.

Hello, and welcome to "How Can I Make It A Better World?" All World One Happy Family.

My aim is to see a world for our future generations where there is peace and understanding between nations, where love conquers all disagreements between people.

Obviously, I can have no control over how others will think and act. The only control I can have is how I think, and live my life. So, in wanting to make the world a better place to live in for every body, I have to begin by improving my own world.

I hope that some one reading this blog, if he is at the same stage as I am in, will benefit by
adopting these ideas into his own liife.

A joke: A man walks into a dentist. He want to know how much it will cost him to have pulled out a troublsome tooth. The dentist says his charges are £100 for getting a tooth out.
The man is taken aback. "Can't you make it any less?" he asks.
The Dentist says, "I could save you the cost of an anaesthetic I would use, but it will hurt a lot.
I will have to charge for my time, say £50."
The man still persists, "Can you not make it any quicker to save your time?"
The dentist says, " For £10 I could wrench out the tooth in an instant, but it will hurt you a lot, and leave you with an ugly face."
The man agrees to that, and the dentist beckons him to the chair.
The man, at that stage, shouts out to his wife waiting outside, "Come dear, this young man will take your tooth out."

CULTIVATE A PROSPERITY CONSCIOUSNESS.

I wish I had read Louise L. Hay's book "You Can Heal Your Life" when I was still at school. She mentions of the need to cultivate a prosperity conciousness if one wants to be prosperous.
All these years I would feel very small, very defeated, a failure, when I would see a Rolls Royce car glide by when I was waiting at a bus stand. I would feel equally poor when going through the duty free shops at airports, laden with luxury goods far more expensive than they need to be. My radio at home was purchased for £5. Here were radios costing £250 plus!
I could never imagine spending money on myself for frivolous unnecessary unproductive, in terms of money, entertainment. Yet I would read in newspapers of people having paid £50.00 for a ticket for WestEnd shows, performing to packed houses.

Who were these people, with endless money to spare, and to spend on themselves?

At every moment I was acutely feeling my poverty, my lack of money, my inability to earn money.

Louise L. Hay says that such poverty cociousness keeps one poor. She suggests cultivating a rich feeling, where you thank the Lord for all that you already have, and to say to yourself, "I will be able to afford these things, when and if I want to." Instead of grudging the daily expenses, she suggests, we should part with our money with grace, and with the knowledge that more will surely come our way.

Louise L. Hay says she overcame her poverty by cultivating a prosperity conciousness - a feeling that she was rich, and when paying her bills, she was making way for more money to come and replace that which was being spent. She felt herself being rich, and thanked God for her riches.

She obviously had to do something to change her poverty, but she says she was led to those opportunities, and actions by forces beyond human understanding.

Louise L.Hay was promoting something quite opposite to the poverty I felt all the time.

I will from now on try to cultivate that prosperity conciousness, and see what happens.

Thank you for reading this entry.

Wishing you all the best, Shree 1
