Prosperity

The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity

August: Chapter 11

"Poverty is a universal fear of mankind, and many people today are experiencing financial lack, despite the unprecedented prosperity of our times." Catherine Ponder

It is so easy in today's world with all the news about how bad the economy is, to buy into always being in debt to have what you want or need. But once you learn the power which you release through prosperous thinking, it will dawn on you that the possibility of financial independence is not too far-fetched after all; you will realize that it is not just meant for the other person, but it is meant for you too.

To help you gain financial independence on a steady basis, I wish to share with you Catherine's formula:

1. Get quiet, meditate, and ask your loving Father if there is any reason why you should not become financially independent. (This act will remove all uncertainty from your mind, for it is uncertainty that delays your success.)

2. Having decided to achieve financial independence and having gotten a sense of peace about the rightness of it for you, make a mental picture of the highest degree of it that you wish to experience. Mentally image the amount of income you wish and how you will live when you are independent. Build as detailed a mental picture of financial independence as possible. The more you think about it, the more detailed your mental picture will become. Think of the kind of home you wish, the type of clothes you wish to wear, the activities you wish to experience, the places you wish to visit.

3. Build the mental picture of what you really want, not what someone else wants you to have, or what you think it is your duty to have but quietly continue to persevere in making your what you really want. Many people lead miserable lives of failure because they try to please others. Your life is a divine gift for you to live, not for someone else to live for you. Only what you sincerely want can make you happy. Build mental pictures upon that and nothing less.

4. Say little to anyone about your inner plans, because others can always tell you how they think you should live your life, but they cannot live it for you successfully. Keep your success plans to yourself. Do not dissipate them, or subject them to crosscurrent, by giving others a chance to tear them apart.

5. Proceed as you feel led to take the first steps toward your mental pictures of financial independence. Do whatever little or big things you can to gain the feeling that you are already on the way toward it. Set a time limit and plan to achieve certain things within six months, others within a year, and others within two years. Set a date when you plan to achieve complete financial independence.

6. Do not become anxious, excited, or emotionally upset if affairs do not immediately begin producing the results you desire. Do not try to force or hurry your mental image into fulfillment. Anxious, excited, emotional, hurried, forced states of mind produce violent results that are seldom satisfactory, and they can be most discouraging and destructive.

7. Instead of caring what people say or think, quietly continue to persevere in making your mental image of financial independence come forth, in whatever ways are revealed to you. Remind yourself often that you are working with the rich substance of the universe through prosperous thinking, and that you cannot fail. Thus, nothing can prevent your success from manifesting, as you keep thinking and working toward it.

8. Realize that your dreams of financial independence have already come true on the mental plane, by the time you desire them or become aware of them. Thus, your great good is as much yours before it becomes visible as it is afterward, but it is up to you to bring it into visibility. You can do so by declaring: "Divine Substance, give me this now in thine own perfect way, or Divine Substance, now meet this demand in thine own perfect way. It is mine now and quickly manifests in satisfying ways." Never say, "It can never happen," but instead: "This, or something better, now manifests."

9. Remind yourself often that if others have attained financial independence, so can you. What one has done, many can do. What can be done in small degree can, with persistence, frequency and earnestness, be done in an unlimited degree. It is up to you.

10. Remind yourself often that every good thing already exists in the realm of substance. Through your high expectancy, mental images, and prosperous thought and action, you become master of the realm of substance, and can bring forth whatever you wish from it. The history of the world shows that every mental demand of man has been met. Make yours now. Stick to it and you will succeed!

It may not happen overnight, yet it can. It will happen if you dare to persist in expecting, envisioning, and mentally accepting the idea of financial independence for yourself and all people. At first, it may take some effort on your part to begin believing success is possible for you, but the fruits of that effort will make it worth every prosperous thought held, every vision entertained, every rich mental picture you have built.

Declare often: Every day in every way, I am becoming financially independent, with the help of God." It can surely come!
