What you must strive after is
being. In order to do, it is necessary to be. The end of yearning is to be.
Your concept of yourself can only be driven out by yourself. By creating an
ideal in your mind, you can identify yourself with it until you become one and
the same with the ideal, thereby transforming yourself into it.
– Neville The
Power of Awareness
Neville goes on to say that, we
must be active and dynamic in the way we live for dynamic active people are
both more magnetic in their attractiveness and more creative in both their
idealizing and their follow through actions to make their ideal real in their experience.
Goethe, Thoreau, and so many other icons of the philosophies of success agree
that bold action draws to us providential assistance and synchronizes our
efforts with others for exponentially greater prosperity than merely affirming
and going through the motions could ever do.
Begin small and double your
efforts as you attain greater understanding. The story of the Indian wise man
who invented chess is a good illustration. The ruler was so grateful that he
offered the wise man a reward of his choice. The wise man being, well, wise,
requested a single grain of rice on the first square of the chess board with
two on the next square and the amount doubles on each square thereafter. That
is a lot of rice and the wise man became a rich man too.
Long before you get to the 63 day
of doubling your efforts, you will see that you are already prosperous beyond
any dream you have ever had. Think of anything that you desire to be, to do, or
to have. Dwell on the desire as if what you seek is what you are and especially
dwell in the feelings of achievement, contentment, and satisfaction. Take any
physical action that you can think of to make your desire into your reality.
No, it does not have to be the most difficult first. Maybe all you need the
first day is to read about or talk to someone who is being, doing, or having
what you want to find out how they did it. Then do any of what they did that
you know how to do.
Any skill can be learned. Given
the talent or aptitude, anyone can master the skills of any line of work or
creative endeavor. The primary question for achieving the life prosperity we
yearn for, is, “Who am I with my talents, skills, values, and interests and
what do I want to contribute?” When we know who we are, we can bring out and
achieve our full potential and the process, though at times may seem difficult
proves to be our favorite game to play and we always win.
Our yearning for prosperity of
any kind is Spirit’s willingness for us to enjoy that prosperity now because as
much as we enjoy is as much as Spirit enjoys us. I relax, sit back, and think
of my life as I desire it becoming the reality of every minute. In my mind and
heart, I open to receive in full measure, all that Spirit has to give through
me. My life is now a delight of discovery. Gratefully I let it be and so it is.

“First
you ask definitely for direction, then it will enter your consciousness as a
definite thought; then in your turn you give it back the thought and it will
give you back the thing. It answers every question, solves every problem; it is
the solution to every difficulty.” Ernest Holmes
