Take the time to reflect on and answer all of these questions regarding prosperity. Your honest answers may reveal some of the energetic causes of the flow of abundance being spotty.
How do you feel about money? Do you think of it as “good,” “bad,” or something else?
•Do you have “enough” money? How do you define “enough”? Can you meet your financial requirements— your bills, debts, and living expenses? Do you have resources for enjoyment and entertainment?
• Do you plan in advance with your money? Do you have a budget? Do you have a retirement or investment plan?
•Are you in debt? If so, for what reason? Were the debts foreseen and planned for, or unforeseen? If you have been in debt for a period of time, has your overall debt amount changed, and if so, has it decreased or increased?
• If you have had, or currently have, financial problems, when did they first occur? Was anything else significant occurring in your life at that time? How was your health? How were your primary relationships with friends and family? How was your spiritual life?
• What is your perceived economic position in life? What words would you use to describe your position? How do those words make you feel about yourself?
• What is the perceived economic position of your family, including your parents, siblings, and spouse, if applicable? Again, what words would you use to describe their position? How do those words make you feel about your family?
• What is the perceived economic position of your friends and acquaintances? Again, what words would you use to describe their position, and how do these words make you feel about your friends?
• Is there a difference between your economic position and the position of those around you? Do you feel your position is more or less favorable? Why do you think there is a difference?
• Do you feel you “deserve” what you have? Is that a “good” or “bad” thing for you?
• When you receive a large sum of money, expectedly or unexpectedly, what do you do with it? Are you likely to save it? Do you budget it? Do you spend it immediately with no thoughts to the future? Are you so frugal with your saving that you deny yourself things you want and could afford?
• What do you think and feel about your job? Do you generally like or dislike it? Is it something you want to do, or do you feel that you “have” to do it? If you have to do it, why? Is your job a career, or simply something you do?
• Growing up, what did your parent( s) or other primary care providers do for work? What were their attitudes toward their work? What were your attitudes toward their work at the time? What are your attitudes toward their work now, looking back as an adult?
• Are you thankful for your job? Why or why not?
• Do you feel there is a higher purpose to your job? If so, in fulfilling that higher purpose, how do you feel— joyful, stressed, unhappy?
• As a child, what did you dream of doing with your life? Are you doing it? If not, when and how did the dream change?
• If you could do anything for a job, what would be your dream job? If you are not living your dream job, are you working toward it? If you are not working toward it, why not?
• Are you ready to change your economic status? How would your life change? You cannot make such a change without affecting every other part of your life. How would your relationships with family, friends, lovers, co-workers, and casual acquaintances change? Do you want to change these parts of your life? Are you ready for them to change in ways you do not expect?
• If you are not “rich,” what do you think the biggest impediment to you being rich is? Examine your first gut-instinct answer. Does it have anything to do with other people or circumstances? Does it have anything to do with anyone or anything else besides yourself? Are you blaming someone or something else for your lack of riches? If so, this blaming of people and things you perceive as outside of yourself is probably one of the biggest blocks you have to developing riches.
