The Prosperity Consciousness Blog

I hadn’t been feeling well during the month of December 2008 and I kept telling my friends I feel like I had been run over by a Mac truck.  I woke up on Jan. 2nd and was coughing so hard I broke three ribs, so I went to the emergency room. I was admitted to the hospital with pneumonia and asthma.  It got so bad, I almost died.  I ended up on a ventilator and had to have a tracheostomy. I laid unconscious for six weeks in ICU.

I am happy to report that I am doing better now.  I am off the ventilator but still in the hospital.  But it got me thinking about abundance and how fortunate I truly am. I have been so blessed by the abundance of prayers and support that I have received from both my friends in my daily life and from my online friends.  When I fell ill, my online friends circulated the news and started an international prayer room.  I was blessed to have someone put my name in the Wailing Wall.

When I was wakened from my unconscious state and saw all that was done in my name, as sick as I was, I knew I was rich beyond measure.  I have one friend that I met online who lives in Canada and sent me a card every week. It wasn’t just the cards, flowers and calls. They were and continue to be wonderful.  But it was the realization that I have an abundance of love in my life.  I wouldn’t trade that for all the riches in the world.  Prosperity and abundance are not just about money and what we possess…it is about love and friendship.

In this time in our lives, it is so easy to focus on what is happening in the world, our 401K’s….and don’t get me wrong, they are important.  But remember to look at the blessings you have in your life also and be grateful for them.

I’ve been given many gifts throughout this ordeal.  I have been given a second chance at life.  And I have been shown how rich my life truly is. So many people never find this out until it’s too late.

To all my friends and to those I will never know or meet who prayed for me or sent well wishes, my most profound thank you for being a gift in my life.  I love you all.   I also want to say a special thank you to Dr. Brij Sharma and Dr. Kwiatek for saving my life.  A special thank you to Linda Navarro, who helped me enormously during this time.  And also to the team of nurses, speech pathologists, social workers, respiratory, physical and occupational therapists and personal care aides at North Shore University Hospital at Glen Cove. They went above and beyond their jobs and offered me support and encouragement that I will never forget.  They are all angels in my book.

If you would like to share your experience of love and abundance, it would be an honor to include it here.  We can all use that kind of good news!

Last week we saw record low’s in the stock market. Panic has set in. I don’t know anyone who is feeling secure right now. I have been working on my feeligs of financial instability. I have made a decision not to focus on what I am seeing on the television. It is all bad news. And we all know that what we focus on expands. So, if all we do is pay attention to bad news and see collapse and despair everywhere, we will get more of that. What we are seeing is all about scarcity, that there are limited resources. That there is only one pie and that we all have to fight for our little piece of it. I believed that for many years.

When you come from a prosperity consciousness, there is more than one pie. There is unlimited pie. Bob Proctor always says that “when you are dealing with the infinite, you can never take more than your share.” I believe that. In our personal lives, the results that we get are directly correlated to what we had been thinking about up till then. Our thoughts create our feelings which in turn move us into action and create our results. The good news is that we can change our thinking anytime we want to.

The truth of the matter is that we are responsible for our financial futures. I know for myself that I have in the past given that responsibilty away. I was at effect of the job market, what my boss would pay me or who I gave power to control my IRA to. No more. Suze Orman was right! We have to take our financial lives in our own hands. We can do it. No one is going to care more about what happens to you than you. And the truth is, that even in this horrible economy, people will prosper. Why….because they don’t see the glass as half empty, they see opporunities.

So…think about it. You can go on drifting on the sea until you get beached by the economy or you can fight against the tide and look for opportunites that you never saw before.
