Prosperity in Relationships |
|
"Your friend is your needs answered. He is your field which you sow with love and reap in thanksgiving."
Kahlil Gibran
Can you see how your field has been bountiful? Can you recognize the prosperity that is expressed in your relationships?
As Valentine's Day approaches, I am reminded that in most of Latin America, Valentine's Day is celebrated as the Day of Friendship. We, at times, concentrate on who is or could be our romantic Valentine then we forget to celebrate the prosperity and richness of our friendships.
I remember that as a child, Valentine's Day was the day where I took cards, candies and little forms of saying "Thank you for being my friend" to almost everyone in my class. As I grew up, the list of people I gave those cards to kept getting smaller. Last year, I only included my partner on the list.
Do you think maybe this year it can be different? What would happen if this Valentine's Day, I celebrate all of my relationships? For one, if I do not limit myself to who is "worthy" of getting these Valentine's Day card, I might just realize how special all the people are in my life. Prosperity is not about how much you have, but about how you see the things you do have. I want to show my gratitude for the bounty of my relationships, however many they may be, and reap the joy and love. Will you do the same?
Oh and will you be my Valentine?

The Power of Prosperity |
|
The Prosperity Council is teaming with Unity Churches International to bring you The Power of Prosperity - monthly thoughts for reflection on prosperity, along with ideas for practices you can use to build your own consciousness.
The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity - Chapter 2
"The reason why there is still poverty in the universe of lavish abundance is that many people still do not understand this basic law of life..." Catherine Ponder
The basic law of prosperity is two-fold: first, it concerns our thinking and second, our demonstration from that thinking. If you are not satisfied with what life is giving you take a good long look at your thoughts.
Unity's third basic principle of mind action tells us that what we focus our thoughts on will increase. What we truly hold as true at our deepest center is what we are manifesting. When our words and our thinking are not in alignment, the thinking will always win out. Catherine tells us, "It is up to you in this wonderful age to claim spiritual dominion of great good over everything, and dare to subdue, change, or reform your world as your wish!"
In some areas of thinking, we might not see a connection to prosperity. Thoughts of unforgiveness, or not enough, are the biggest blocks to prosperity. We know that two things, ideas, or thoughts can not occupy the same space at the same time. The Bible talks of not serving two masters. Sometimes we believe in "not enough" or hold unforgiveness, we cannot also hold a prosperity thought. We are trying to serve two masters. Emotions add strength to a thought. To be in a space of unforgiveness is very emotional. When we believe that there is not enough, so we must hold tight to what we have, this too has strong emotions behind the thought. This in turn blocks the flow of positive, prosperity thinking.

The Power of Prosperity - Practice Exercises |
Looking for an experiment or activity to further your prosperity consciousness? Here is a small exercise we suggest you have fun with. It is not about judgment but growing in prosperity consciousness.
Set your cell phone or watch to give you periodic alarms throughout the day. When you hear an alarm, stop what you are doing for a moment, and make a note on scratch paper or your journal of the thoughts you are having-without judgment. At the end of the day, look over your thoughts. Beside any thoughts of lack or unforgiveness, write an alternative that is forgiving or prosperous. To take it a step further, try it again another day, and if you have time, write the alternative thought immediately. What do you notice after these practices? How do you feel? Do this as often as you need to become aware of thought habits over time. Simply writing the alternatives can help you catch yourself the next time around.
