You Will Never Be Poor Again

Every day, you are presented with a choice. You can choose to stay stuck, feeling bitter about the past, or you can forgive, let go, and move forward to create a joyous, fulfilling life. The freedom to shape your life, to make it anything you want it to be, lies in your hands because you have the power of choice.

Prosperity Begins with Your Thoughts

Let's talk about prosperity—whether you view it as wealth, abundance, or financial security. You can never create prosperity by thinking or talking about what you lack. This is wasted energy that brings no abundance. Dwelling on scarcity will only create more scarcity. If your thoughts are focused on poverty, you will attract more poverty. But if you think with gratitude, you will draw abundance into your life.

Certain affirmations and attitudes will keep prosperity out of reach. Resenting others for their wealth builds a wall between you and your own financial flow. You must open your mind to new ideas about money for it to come to you. Phrases like "There is never enough money" or "Money goes out faster than it comes in" are examples of poverty thinking. The universe responds to your beliefs about yourself and your life, so examine any negative thoughts you have about money. Decide to release them because they haven't served you well in the past and won’t serve you in the future.

Changing Your Consciousness to Attract Abundance

Many people think that winning the lottery will solve all their problems, but this is a form of scarcity thinking. In reality, most lottery winners lose their winnings within two years and often find themselves worse off financially than before. Why? Because winning the lottery doesn’t change your consciousness. In effect, when you rely on luck, you're telling the universe that you don’t deserve good in your life unless it comes by chance.

Instead, shift your thinking to allow the abundance of the universe to flow through your life. Affirming, declaring, deserving, and allowing are steps that lead to prosperity far greater than anything you could win by luck. Remember, what you give out in life will always come back to you. If you take from life dishonestly, life will take from you in return. This applies not just to physical things but also to stealing time, respect, or relationships. All these actions send a message to the universe that you don't believe you deserve good things.

Practicing Prosperity Thinking

To attract prosperity, you must practice prosperity thinking. Even if no one else in your family has done this, you can open your mind to the concept of money flowing into your life. Here are two affirmations that have worked wonders for me: "My income is constantly increasing" and "I prosper wherever I turn." When I began using these affirmations, I had very little money. However, with consistent practice, they became my reality.

In my business at Hay House, we've always operated with honesty and integrity, treating others with respect and generosity. This approach has given us a great reputation and abundant business opportunities. When you live in harmony with these values, it's impossible to keep prosperity away. The universe rewards you at every turn.

Stand with your arms wide open once a day and joyfully say, "I am open and receptive to all the good and abundance in the universe." The universe will hear you and respond.

Affirmations for Wealth and Prosperity

Here are some affirmations to attract wealth:

“I am a magnet for money. Prosperity of every kind is drawn to me.”

“I am deeply appreciated and well-compensated wherever I work.”

“I live in a loving, abundant, harmonious universe, and I am grateful.”

“I move from poverty thinking to prosperity thinking, and my finances reflect this change.”

“I release all resistance to money and allow it to flow joyously into my life.”

Embracing Your Creativity

You can never express yourself creatively by thinking or talking about what you lack. If you tell yourself, "I have no creativity," this will become your reality. Creativity is an innate force within all of us. If we allow it to flow, it will surprise and delight us. Everyone is tapped into the creative energy of the universe. Some people express it more than others, but it is accessible to all.

Unfortunately, many of us had our creativity stifled by well-meaning adults when we were children. Maybe you were told you couldn't dance or draw because of some arbitrary reason. But now, you can go beyond these limiting beliefs. Creativity is not limited to art; it’s about creating your life every day, from the way you make your bed to the way you interact with others.

No matter how you express yourself creatively, you want to feel satisfaction and deep fulfillment. Trust that your desires to create are divinely guided. This longing is a calling, a sign that you're meant to pursue it. It may be frightening, but remember that the universe loves you and wants you to succeed.

Never Too Late to Create

Know that it is never too late to start something new. My own life did not begin to have real meaning until I was in my mid-40s. At 50, I started my publishing company on a small scale. At 55, I learned to use computers. At 60, I began gardening. At 70, I took a children’s art class, changed my handwriting, and later began adult art classes. I even started ballroom dancing at 76!

I continue to find new ways to express myself creatively. Each project, each endeavor, adds new meaning to my life. So, never believe you're too old for anything. Every person has a choice: to remain a slave to the past or to forge a path toward a brighter future.

The Freedom to Choose a Life of Abundance

Remember, you have the power to choose the life you want. You can remain stuck in old ways of thinking or decide to create a life full of abundance and joy. It's entirely up to you. Just by deciding, you can begin moving toward a future filled with possibility and fulfillment.

You have the choice. Choose wisely, and choose to live your best life.
