Prosperity 

"I deserve the best,and I accept the best, now.

If you want the above affirmation to be true for you,then you do not want to believe any of the following statements:

Money doesn't grow on trees.
Money is filthy and dirty.
Money is evil.
I am poor, but clean ( or good )
Rich people are crooks.
I don't want to have and be stuck up.
I will never get a good job.
I will never make any money.
Money goes out faster than it comes in.
I am always in debt.
Poor people can never get out from under.
My parents were poor, and i will be poor.
Artists have to struggle.
Only people who cheat have money.
Everyone else comes first.
Oh, I couldn't charge that much.
I don't deserve.
I'm not good enough to make money.
Never tell anyone what I have in the bank.
Never lend money.
A penny saved is a penny earned.
Save for a rainy day.
A Depression could come at any moment.
I resent others having money.
Money only comes from hard work.

How many of these beliefs belong to you? Do you really think that believing any of them will bring you prosperity?

It is old, limited thinking. Perhaps it was what your family believed about money, because family beliefs stay with us unless we consciously release them. Wherever it came from, it must leave your consciousness if you want to prosper.

To me, true prosperity begins with feeling good yourself. It is also the freedom to do what you want to do, when you want to do it. It is never an amount of money; it is a state of mind. Prosperity or lack of it is an outer expression of the ideas in your head.

Deserving

If we do not accept the idea that we "deserve" to prosper, then even when abundance falls in our laps, we will refuse it somehow. Look at this example:

A student in one of my classes was working to increase his prosperity. He came to class one night so excited, for he had just won $500. He kept saying, "I don't believe it ! I never win anything." We knew it was a reflection of his changing consciousness. He still felt he did not really deserve it. Next week he could not come to class, as he had broken his leg. The doctor bills came $500.

He had been frightened to "move forward" in a new "prosperous direction" and felt undeserving, so he punished himself in this way.

Whatever we concentrate on lack and debt, then you will create more lack and debt.

There is an inexhaustible supply in Universe. Begin to be aware of it. Take the time to count the stars on a clear evening, or the grains of sand in one handful, the leave on one branch of a tree, the rain-drops on a windowpane, the seeds in one tomato. Each seed is capable of producing a whole vine with unlimited tomatoes on it. Be grateful for what you do have, and you will find that it increases. I like to bless with love all that is in my life now - my home, the heat, water, light, telephone, furniture, plumbing, appliances, clothing, transportation, jobs - the money i do have, friends, my ability to see and feel and taste and touch and walk and to enjoy this incredible planet.

Our own belief in lack and limitation is the only thing that is limiting us. What belief is limiting you?

Do you want to have money only to help others? Then you are saying you are worthless. Be sure you are not rejecting prosperity now. If a friend invites you to lunch or dinner, accept with joy and pleasure. Don’t feel you are just "trading" with people. If you get a gift, accept it graciously. If you can’t use the gift, pass it on to someone else. Keep the flow of things moving through you. Just smile and say "Thank you" in this way you let the Universe know you are ready to receive your good.
