Law of Attraction and Manifesting Your Desires

The Serenity Prayer is one of my favorite prayers. I mistakenly thought this prayer is the St. Augustine’s Prayer. According to Wikipedia it is commonly attributed to Reinhold Neibuhr, a theologian.

In this post, I have expanded The Serenity Prayer to make it a prayer for personal empowerment. There is nothing radical with my version, but some religion may not agree with it.

God grant me

The serenity to accept the things I cannot change,

The courage to change the things I can,

And the wisdom to know the difference.

God grant me

The sense to realize that with all your goodness and love for me, you cannot have planned for me to live in poverty and scarcity.

The sight to see that abundance is my nature and I am meant to live a life showered with love, prosperity and happiness.

The ability to speak so I can only say words of hope, love, joy, goodness and to affirm the abundance in my life.

The memory to always remember my dreams and aspirations amidst the failures and frustrations.

Love so I can love myself and others.

Finally Lord, grant me

Forgiveness for not living my life according to Your expectations despite bestowing me the power to change a mediocre life.

Though I have the sense, it is easier for me to think that my mediocre life is Your will for me. And there is nothing I can do about it.

Though I have the sight, I have deliberately limited it to the reality of my situation.

Though I can speak, complaints are what come out of my mouth most of the time.

Though I have the memory of them, it is already dimming because I have chosen to believe that I cannot succeed instead of persisting.

Though You have already showered me with love unconditionally, I still cannot accept that I am worth loving.

Amen.

When you hear the words “abundance” and “prosperity”, what immediately comes to mind?Is it money, fulfilling relationships, a lovely house to live in, peace of mind, a career/vocation that expresses your gifts?

It may be all or none of those things. It may mean something else to you. But if you want to attract more prosperity and abundance into your life, no matter how you define them, then this article outlines 5 key ways to do so.

1. Understand Attraction Law

This is better known as the Law of Attraction, as defined by Abraham Hicks, states that “you attract whatever you give your attention and energy to, whether wanted or unwanted”.

So, if you’re curious about what you’re putting out there, look at what you are attracting, the visible results in your life. Knowing about and working with the the Law of Attraction will help you in manifesting, creating and attracting more abundance and prosperity in your life.

Once you understand it, there’s no turning back.

2. You get what you focus on

One of the key concepts in the Law of Attraction is that you get what you focus on, whether that be money, relationships, employment etc). So when you focus on having less, that is the experience you create for yourself.

Saying that “I hate my job” will just draw even more attention to the aspects of the job that you don’t like. Even if you look for another job, it’ll be with that negative energy.

Just wanting something isn’t enough, because you will still continue to think about what you don’t have. Always focusing on what you lack means that you don’t see the present and future opportunities, or begin to realise your true desires. You’re getting in your own way!

3. Clear your head

……….to allow you to focus more effectively. Our minds are full of “stuff”; old, tired and limiting beliefs, which don’t reflect who we are now, or who we want to become.

Set aside quiet time for yourself on a regular basis to get real clear about what you really want to attract in your life. Use this opportunity to ask yourself questions.

Ask yourself: “how can I create more prosperity and abundance in my life?”. Once your head is clear, you will allow the answers to come to you. Meditation is a great way to start clearing the mind.

4. Appreciate life’s abundance

Appreciating life’s abundance is another way to opening yourself up to accept more abundance and prosperity in your life. When you fully appreciate what you have in your life, the Universe has a way of giving you more.

Keep a gratitude journal and at the end of each day, write down everything that you appreciate in your life. You’ll begin to change your energy and vibration and become more internally aligned with what you want to create in your life.

5. Use prosperity affirmations

As you write your gratitude journal, it is an opportunity to write down prosperity affirmations as well. Affirmations are statements of acceptance that you use to manifest your destiny or what you want to create in your life. They are powerful, positive thoughts and words sent out to the universe.

If you want to use affirmations to create positive changes in your life, then you must first BELIEVE that this is possible. It shouldn’t be a half hearted “well, I’ll give this a go and see what happens”.

To make affirmations more effective, put as much positive energy in writing and saying them as possible. Visualize what you want to create and let this inform your prosperity affirmations.

When you cease operating from a position of lack, you start to create the fertile conditions to make more informed decisions, identify greater opportunities and attract more abundance and prosperity into your life.

These are prosperity and abundance affirmations to change your old mental programming of scarcity to abundance. Use affirmations when your mind is most relaxed like during meditation. You can use the Manifest Abundance Guided Meditation. Other recommended times are upon waking up in the morning and upon sleeping at night when you are between sleep and wakefulness. Claude M. Bristol in The Magic of Believing, recommends looking in the mirror and into your own eyes when saying affirmations.
