Abundance in every area of your life is available freely for everyone, but we have to attract and receive it.  There's no shortage of any good thing on this planet and there is more than enough for everyone to enjoy.

The secrets to attracting wealth and abundance lie in the words that we speak, the thoughts that we have, and our belief system.  The universal law is such that we get exactly what we ask for, be it good or bad.  Think you are a failure, talk and act like you are a failure and what will you be?  That’s right!

But there is a way that you can turn your life around or merely be a magnet for more of the good things of life.  There are ways that you can change your thinking and control your words to create the life you desire.

The basic principle of attracting what you want into your life is to ask, believe that you will receive what you ask for, and then to receive it.  The trick is to ask with emotion and the stronger the emotion that you put your request out into the universe with the quicker you will receive.

I have listed below some practical ways you can invite and pull towards you the desires of your heart.  Whether it be money, cars, homes or improved relationships, practice the following beneficial ideas and watch your life change dramatically.

1. Be careful of allowing negative media to enter your mind.  Watch uplifting television programs; select the newspaper and magazine articles that you read.  It is a little like a computer, what you put in your mind so you get out.
2. Spend time with inspiring people.  Spend less time with friends who are depressing and negative.  Gently ease them out of your life and go out of your way to attract friends who uplift and encourage you.
3. Use visualization to attract your dreams.  Relax into a comfortable chair and imagine that you are driving that dream car or living in your dream house.  Walk through each room and see each one furnished and decorated exactly as you wish.
4. Express your desires by saying “wouldn’t it be nice if…………………..”  You may find this an easier way of asking than by being more direct, because you must believe that you are going to receive what you ask for.  If you don’t truly get to the place where you know without a doubt that your dreams are materializing you can’t receive them.
5. Build yourself a dream goals book or create a dream box.  Into these you put cutting of anything you want.  It could be a picture of a dream location you would like to visit.  A wardrobe of new clothes or you may write down the income you believe is the right amount for you.  Open the book or box every morning and and every evening and look at each picture and imagine with as much feeling as you can that you already own etc. each item.
6. Write out a check to you, drawn on the account of the universe.  Fill in the amount you would like to receive and the date you believe you can receive it by.  Put this somewhere that you would see several times a day.
7. Imagine a scenario that you would like to happen and write that scene out as if you were writing an essay.  For example a special trip, how you would travel, would it be first class.  What would you see on the way, what would you do when you got there?  How would be traveling with you? I think you get the idea.  Before too long after reading this essay every day and imagining the trip with strong emotion, you will find that trip happening in your reality.
8. A cautionary note here.  Be careful what you ask for?  It may not be in your best interests although of course you think it is, or you may be shortchanging yourself for what you could have.  Be careful to add to any request “this or something better”
9. When your request involves others you must also be careful to add “for my good and the good of all concerned”
10. The universe responds to your being grateful for what you have already.  You can’t expect to attract even greater benefits to you if you aren’t grateful for what you already have and enjoy.  You may think that you haven’t anything you are grateful for right now but you would be wrong.  Can you see?  Can you walk?  Can you go to work?  Did you wake up this morning and found yourself still alive?  You get the idea.
11. A useful tool for remembering to be grateful is to carry a small object such as a stone and each time you feel it in your pocket send out a grateful thought into the universe.  The universe will respond in giving you even more to be grateful for.
12. Give words of appreciation freely to your family, friends and fellow workers.  Do this regularly and often and the response will be phenomenal and you will wander why you haven’t always done it.
13. Always go the extra mile to be helpful.  What you give it you receive back, even if not from the person that you help.  The universe will always reward a good deed in spades.
14. Act as if you wish has already been granted.  Looking for a better job, then dress and act as if you are already in the position that you want.
15. Appreciate other people.  No one is all bad and if you look for the good in others you will find it.  This lifts your mood and a good mood is the power that attracts what you want or repels it.  Irritation, hate, vengeance or any of the negative emotions that you feel towards others lowers the vibes that you send out and attracts to you more negativity.  Love and appreciation makes your mood high and attracts the good to you.
16. Stress causes illness and disease.  Use a method of relaxation or meditation to eliminate as much stress as possible.  Remember that ninety per cent of situations that we stress about never happen.  If you were to die today those stresses would be of no consequence so why not let them just roll off your back and replace the stressful thoughts with ones of your greatest dreams and desires.  You can get into the habit of changing your thoughts to more pleasant ones with daily practice.
17. Focus is the key to realizing your desires.  Focus every day on what you do want and spend as little time as possible on what you don’t want.
18. Use affirmations to build your self-confidence.  Write several out and pin them to your bathroom wall and repeat them as often as possible.  Self-confidence attracts wealth because you go into things with a positive attitude and know that you will succeed.
19. Give, give and give with a cheerful heart.  The universal law states that you will receive many times more than you give when you give without strings and a bad attitude.  If you hold on to all you have and are frightened to let anything go you leave no room for more to come to you.
20. The creator of the universe is God and it is He who has put the universal laws in motion.  He created us to be in relationship with Him.  The way we can do this is to pray.  It has been scientifically proven that prayer works.  Open your heart in prayer both in thanksgiving and to make your desires known and wait for God to answer.
