It may seem to some that attracting prosperity is a phrase that people use who think you need to meditate two hours a day, abstain from eating meat and communicate with spirits.
While there are some New Age and New Thought gurus who do all of those things, actually attracting prosperity to your life is much simpler than that.
That’s not to say that it’s easy. There are a number of ways to do it wrong, nut that only means that you won’t attract the prosperity you desire or deserve. There’s not a doom and gloom option when it comes to trying to bring good things into your life. There’s no way to do it wrong and actually create heartache.
Even by just attempting methods of attracting prosperity, you start wheels turning in both your head and the universe that can help good things start happening in your life. You see… the first step in making good things happen for yourself is a change in your attitude. This can affect every part of your life, if you let it.
Instead of seeing things through a negative lens, it’s necessary to see them through a positive one. Use the analogy of a glass that’s filled halfway with water. Instead of seeing it as half-empty or half-dirty, learn to see it as half-full. If you burn dinner, don’t see it as a ruined meal, notice that the pans will still be fine after they’re washed.
This shift in perception takes you from seeing negativity and limitations and instead into seeing the positive side of everything. Attracting prosperity works on the principle that what you believe and what you surround yourself with will attract similar things. If you go through your day noticing what’s wrong with everything, you are going to attract problems.
But if you go through your day noticing the good side to each situation, you will attract prosperity. This might sound far-fetched to some people, but when you focus on being positive and on seeing the good in things, your attitude will change.
Once this attitude shift takes place, it becomes even easier to automatically see the positive in even a very bad situation. When you begin noticing positive things, opportunities that you would have otherwise missed if you had been focused on the negative instead make themselves known to you.
When viewed this way, attracting prosperity seems less like some strange metaphysical system than it does good common sense. When you see an opportunity you might have missed with a more negative attitude, it’s like you’ve attracted the potential for prosperity, by seeing an opportunity where you wouldn’t have before.
And when you’re faced with an opportunity, you can take advantage of it where you couldn’t have before. Even if it was something you might have noticed before but not acted on when you had a more negative attitude, with a positive attitude you may act on it and believe that it will work in your favor. Attracting prosperity becomes second nature when you believe that good things are possible.

The key to getting on track to attracting prosperity is having a Savvy Plan in place so you can get out of that sense of being stuck and on the Fast Track to Success… To get all the details of my new eCoaching Program |
When you try to think positively and act positively eventually your life will become positive because a snowball effect occurs. Whatever we do in this moment affects our future moments. This is an extreme and simplified example, but if I give my girlfriend a hug she would appreciate me and the relationship would probably be good in the future and if I hit her instead the relationship won’t be so good in the future. Thanks for the post.

Thanks for your comments Sebastian. What you say is very true – creating a snowball effect starts with just one snow flake 🙂
: D. One step at a time.
Excellent article, Moira. I like this: “Even by just attempting methods of attracting prosperity, you start
wheels turning in both your head and the universe that can help good
things start happening in your life.” Love it! Thanks so much.
Thanks Alexandra – it’s true that success is created with a series of small things.
They say how you act and who your around it is what you attract. Also your mindset is a huge factor in what you attract as well. having the mindset in prosperity mode will attract you there.
I love how you phrased that Marilyn – it’s very important to work on the prosperity mode mindset.
Nothing intrapsychic has changed my life more than a systematic study of positive psychology and the attempt to consistently and habitually apply them. Thanks for the reminder of how powerful that is in every single domain.
Thanks so much for that! You are right – the key is developing consistent habits around positivity.
Positive thoughts and actions attract other positive people and help fertilize new ideas and greatness.
Which then leads to more new ideas and more greatness… talk about a win-win scenario 🙂 Thanks Tom.
Excellent article Moira. Thinking positive is not only good for the soul but can bring prosperity into your life.
Thanks Meryl – I agree… it also helps to focus on what you have rather than what you have-not.
Yes, yes, YES! Change yourself and you change your world! Keeping positive thoughts and positive people in your life is so critical. Also. If someone is sucking the energy out, simply move away. Leave the Negative Nellies alone!
Very well said Martha! That’s how we can still be the drivers of our own buses, master of our own castle and steer ourselves into the path of good feelings!
When I faced my financial tsunami after 9/11, I realized that stress was keeping me from seeing the opportunities that actually surrounded me. Once I figured out where that was coming from–and how to quiet it–I was able to really focus on the positive, turn my finances around … and thrive!
Thanks Sharon – you are a wonderful inspiration and a brilliant example of one who found the gift in trauma and then come through it and thrive!
I left a comment and it disappeared.:( Anyhow..I always love all of your positivity in your posts! Thanks! We truly our in charge of how decide to live and positivity is the only way!
Thanks Daniele – it’s certainly true that positivity is the only way!
Being, thinking and feeling positive is how we change the world.
Well said Barbara – I like that!
Attitude plays such a role in what we attract and are attracted to.
Yes Pat our attitudes are where we can stay in control of what we really want to create!
Change yourself and you change your world. Also in business! Limiting beliefs, self-doubt, stinking thinking are all things that will affect your success. We all need a lot of personal development… but many won’t do the work.
Well said Norma – it’s true in every aspect of life. Doing personal development work is all about taking responsibility and control over your life experience – it’s something that is a consistent work in progress to me (and I know it is to you also!)
Great article, Moira. Attitude does play such an important role, doesn’t it? Thank you for sharing this!
Thanks Robin – yes, I agree – attitude is THE key!!
Abundance is an attitude. Focusing on what we do want is key.
I completely agree Catherine! Thanks 🙂
Have the positive
mindset and positivity will surround you. There are always things that would
let you down but we have to stay positive about it. Thank you for the advice.
