			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-949" style="border: 0pt none; margin: 5px;" title=" " src="http://www.ryseup.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/istock_000004967333xsmall.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="400" />When you think of prosperity you probably think of something that exists outside of yourself, right? You might imagine lots of money flowing into your life, or having great success in your job or business, or even winning the lottery.</p>
<p>But what if I told you that prosperity is simply a way of BEING, rather than any external essence or condition you can "obtain?"</p>
<p>It's true! What you see in your outer environment is a direct result of the way you think, feel and believe on the inside.</p>
<p>In order to get more prosperity flowing into your life, turn your attention inward to the things you think, feel and believe right now.</p>
<ul>
<li>Do you believe that only the lucky ones can be truly prosperous?</li>
<li>Do you believe that you’ll never reach the level of success you desire?</li>
<li>Do you believe that you are destined for failure?</li>
<li>Do you focus a lot on what you don’t have but wish you did?<span id="more-28"></span></li>
</ul>
<p>If so, you are limiting the amount of prosperity you are allowing to flow through your life! In order to turn this around, you need to focus much of your attention on who you are BEING in every moment.</p>
<p>Here are just a few simple things you can do to BE more prosperous:</p>
<p>1) Live with Passion. When you focus on enjoying yourself moment to moment, you are naturally in the "flow" of prosperity and abundance.</p>
<p>Good things just happen to you, and prosperity comes easily to you. You end up attracting things you want without lifting a finger!</p>
<p>2) Believe in Miracles. Very often we push possibilities away by simply not believing they are possible. (We invest more in impossibilities than possibilities!)</p>
<p>Start believing that what may seem impossible might just be possible – even if you have no idea how. Expect wonderful things and you will very often get them!</p>
<p>3) Detach from Specific "How's." If you are in the habit of trying to be in control of every little thing that happens in your life, you’re probably not allowing the universe to work on your behalf.</p>
<p>Instead of rigidly grasping at one specific way your prosperity can come, let go of the reins and let the horses (the universe) roam where they will!</p>
<p>Not only will you feel less stressed when you don't try to control everything, you'll probably end up in a far more beautiful meadow than you could have found yourself. (Horses are very wise animals, you know! So is the universe. <img src='http://www.ryseup.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>All of this does not negate the benefits of taking physical action toward something you want, however. Who you are is a very (VERY!) large piece of the puzzle, but it also matters what you do day to day.</p>
<p>Work through any resistance you have to taking action, and begin moving toward your objectives. Even tiny steps can trigger massive changes – especially when you combine them with massive changes on the inside. You might even cause a prosperity avalanche!</p>
