The desire for prosperity is often rooted in the desire for financial security. It's perfectly normal. We have been very well trained to absorb the need for financial security as a core structure of our lives. This is our rational mind trying to keep us safe, but financial security is an illusion. It can be shattered in a stock market crash, a natural disaster, or an economic downturn.
In our world, it is a mental state that depends on our circumstances and surroundings to be true. What I want to challenge is the idea of depending on outside circumstances in order to have security. What if security came from a mind-set that relies solely on itself and not on circumstances? How would the game change if your security did not depend on money?
Here, we have determination and commitment as the first cousins to security. The security that it takes to have prosperity does not come from prosperity itself: it comes from the deepest, most connected part of our core that rockets the message to our mind and engraves on it the ironclad conviction that there will be only a positive outcome. This takes tremendous mojo. TREMENDOUS! And that is what it takes.
Every time we doubt, we pull our mind back into the possibility that our dreams may not work out. And what we pay attention to, we will notice more and seem to get more of. So get our attention out of the cesspool of doubt and get it back to creating our prosperity. We can't control every outcome, but we can't expect failure, wither. We truly have to reframe failure. If we don't get exactly what we want, maybe we will get something better! Maybe we will get something unexpected that exceeded our own expectations for ourselves.
This will be our source of financial security: our own determination and lack of negotiation. We are now being fueled by our vision of what's possible for us, not by the cushion of our bank account. Having money as a cushion is fabulous and desirable, but it is not a prerequisite for taking the chances that our desired level of prosperity requires. Let our security come form us, not from any outside circumstances.
