You are a co-creator of your own prosperity in this world, and developing prosperity consciousness is an important step in your keeping your side of the bargain. This prosperity consciousness is an implicit wealth secret that the rich employ in reaching their goals. In an amazing way, human beings have been given a powerful mechanism to tap into the Infinite Intelligence and ask for almost anything. The tool that we must use for this purpose is the subconscious, which is the connecting link between us and that from which all arises.

The greatest scientific breakthroughs, the most sublime forms of art have all emanated from that moment of silence, that gap in the stream of thoughts that allows fresh ideas, new things to come forth from this vital link. And what comes forth is completely reflective of what has been planted already. In other words, your preparation plants the seeds for the solution.

If you are constantly focused on obstacles, the problems along the way, it is likely that life does not offer much comfort to you. Be instead like a jockey on a horse, who points to the green beyond the obstacle - focusing on the success that lies beyond the present day problems (or imagined future ones). And once you commit to a certain goal, ready to put in the sacrifice necessary to reach your target, opportunities will spring up from nowhere. After all, they are coming from no-thing.

The second magnificent tool that you have at your disposal, to which we already alluded to implicitly, is attention. Attention is life-giving. It will make almost anything come alive, or allow anything to pass away. If you are obsessed with the past, the past will never leave you (don't you know at least one person in your life who is continually reliving some past glorious day?). If you are too worried about the future, unnamed and unseen problems will seem more real than your next door neighbor! Have you seen how individuals who get your attention, completely light up? And those, whom you ignore, feel ignored, even if they don't quite know you? Attention is powerful.

Use attention to focus on your successes, your prosperity, and how you might attain it. Use attention to plant that seed of prosperity into your subconscious, and watch the miracle of prosperity consciousness work in your life. And as opportunities come up, grab them with your hands, feet and body and give it your absolute best. This is your part of the deal. Now watch your productivity and effectiveness rise by a factor of twenty in less than 6 months as you do more relevant and useful work, and become almost irreplaceable. Your income and worth will rise dramatically, to match the value of your services rendered - and there is no looking back after that!

Watch out - your most outstanding years are directly ahead!
