prosperity perceptibility
in the new conversation about possibility and prosperity, its become apparent that being able to
perceive beyond what’s seen, is the ability, the skill, the talent that brings the best rewards.
it takes me past what has already become so. it places me in the future today. it puts me where
i want to be, even before i can get there.
i am calling the skill PROSPERITY PERCEPTIBILITY, the innate capacity, and capability of
intelligence, to see further than what’s materially manifest and observable, now. i am telling people
that until one can language what’s yearned for and see evidence that its on the way,
it won’t happen.
i am realizing that what’s hoped for, backs into my life a t the rate that i can handle it.
it backs into my life at the speed i can speak it out of my lips without tripping over it…
that is i can speak it smooth and clear, like i know what i t means before i really do, completely.
it backs into my life when i am committed to its being there. how this is proven is the will to see
evidence of what i yearn for, starting to happen.
when i decided years ago, to become more prosperous, i changed what i was reading.
i began to read books about possibility, prospering and being successful at what i wanted-to-do.
i made myself read for 30 minutes a day or more, no matter what. i didn’t allow getting into bed
until my reading was finished. i sat on a chair at the foot of my bed with my books. some nights i
was so tired, i would fall sleep and wake up with my face on the book, like a pillow, and then have
to get up and get into the bed. each night when i studied, i also wrote ten good things that
happened to me during the day. without knowing, that task made me NOTICE the miracles,
good luck and happy surprises that usually slip by. without noticing that habit put me on line,
paying attention to evidence of things getting better. without noticing it my mind started to change
me into a person who paid more attention to good hoped for, rather than complaining and despair.
i selected a rough road for myself back in the late sixties. there were not so many single parent
homes. it was not so “in vogue” to be a single parent and an entrepreneur at the same time.
there were not many models who were sharing their stories of overcoming to cheer one along.
it was not always so easy to see evidence that it was working, when i was surrounded by many
others telling me to either get married again, quickly, or get a real job.
