A good way to begin cultivating the expectation of financial independence, and the happy experiences it can bring, is by beginning to be financially independent for the day, week or month before you. It is always easier for the mind to produce results that are expected in the present or immediate future.

Begin your day the prosperous way by affirming lavish abundance for that day, even before getting up. Put prosperous thinking first, as well as last, in your day.

 As you awaken each morning and emotionally prepare to meet the new day, either before rising or with your morning coffee, prepare yourself by writing out, verbally affirming, or silently declaring a number of times: “I expect lavish abundance every day in every way in my life. I specifically expect and give thanks for lavish abundance today!” In this way you are sending prosperous thinking before you to prepare a satisfying and worthwhile a that will run to meet you, hour by hour with its delightful surprises and satisfactions.

As you develop each day a state of mind that believes in, expects, and experiences financial independence one day at a time, your state of mind then automatically expands, so that financial independence becomes a weekly, monthly and yearly habit.  But you must start some time in your thinking, and the daily basis is the easiest, most immediate and most satisfying, because it gives you proof positive that your prosperity is at hand, awaiting your recognition and acceptance of it.

One businessman noted that his business doubled after he began to concentrate his attention on the thought and expectancy of financial independence, rather than on the thought of how hard he had to work and how useless it all seemed. Several years ago he began spending an hour each morning mentally planning his day as he wished it to be. He held in mind figures of sales he wanted to obtain. It was by his daily process of thinking of lavish abundance for himself and later his sales people that he worked his way up to an executive position in the company.

Begin to discipline yourself more; conserve your time and energy ; associate only with other prosperous-minded people, with whom you have compatible interests. As you turn from all that is unproductive or unrelated to your vision of prosperity; as you stop trying to please others and dare to please the “still, small voice” of progress within your own heart, you are well on the way to financial independence.

Many people want to become financially independent but they never make the grade because they refuse to discipline themselves and their way of life. It may seem to you an extreme idea that you must concentrate, concentrate and concentrate on prosperity to the exclusion of all else, that you should discard negative, failure-minded business associates; that you should begin fearlessly to weed out all undesirable relationships; that you should be careful with whom and how you spend your time, even your leisure time.

 Once you decide to try this method, you will discover that it as though you are breaking hard shell of limited thought, feeling and activity. When you get past that point, you can begin enjoying a more balanced way of life again. but there is that transition period of having a “one-track mind” that thinks only of success and prosperity, after which you find yourself in a much higher financial bracket. you will discover a new zest in life, and you will be able to relax and really have fun, because you have earned it. But unless you conserve and concentrate prior to that point you’ll never attain it.

Remember “Ask and it shall be given you; seek and ye shall find; knock and it shall be opened unto you; for everyone that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.” (Matthew 7:7)

 Most folks overlook this as a prosperity secret. Often they let riches pass them by, just because they do not ask the help of a Higher Power to learn how to attain their good.

Begin to visualize yourself, not as just becoming more prosperous, but as becoming financially independent. Emma Curtis Hopkins has written “Whatever is oftenest viewed with the inner eye reveals its secrets and hands out its gifts.” It is a delightful process and very stimulating to the mind and it really is not daydreaming if you dare to get definite in your thinking.

Mrs. Hopkins also pointed out “Success lies in being one-pointed, and in rejecting all that distracts from one’s victorious objective”. Why be mildly prosperous when, by being mentally “one-pointed” you can be completely free from financial care, so that you will have time and money to develop other phases of your being that can be a credit to you and all mankind?

You really are equipped to master life in its every phase! You do not have to compromise in life, if you are willing to let go of the idea of compromise. By ceasing needless activities, associations and relationships; by ceasing to be bothered with needless chatter with scatter-minded people, you will find that financial independence is right around the corner, much nearer than you previously assumed.

Conservation of thought, energy and emotional drive are all necessary for financial independence. In order to become permanently prosperous you must dare to be different! At least for a while. The time for daring is the moment when the stakes are high. We must be willing to risk as much in order to win much- we must be willing to put all to the test.

This leads to a joyous, satisfying life filled with congenial associations and rich experiences, a life free from nonessential activities. When you decide to become financially independent, you immediately make up your mind to cease caring “what people think” and dare to concentrate on your goal. As you become more prosperous, you will not care what you previous associates think anyway, because you will undoubtedly be forming new, more satisfying, and more congenial relationships in keeping with your expanding vision.

Think BIG!

  The most successful people think big, not limiting themselves or their associates to their ideas and opinions. If you desire to  be free of a lot of limited thoughts and petty opinions, begin to think big.

Concentrate on financial independence and you will “lose” the petty thinkers along the way. You’ll cultivate enduring, satisfying friends who will help you up the ladder of success.

Hold on to your dreams and visions of great success, prosperity and financial independence until others of like mind come along to help make it come true.

Dust off your dream

If you have unfulfilled dreams and visions of greater prosperity and success somewhere in your mind, don’t keep them there any longer. Dare to bring them out and dust them off. Dare to begin thinking of the possibilities of financial independence even if, at this point, they seem impossible to fulfill.  

Often you may not have succeeded because you felt that somehow you had to succeed alone and the thought overwhelmed you; it seemed easier to settle for failure. Form your partnership with God.  God’s guidance about your financial situation will never lead you anywhere but to greater prosperity. Begin every day asking for, listening for and expecting specific guidance about all your projects.

Remember that God is omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent and omniactive. Remind yourself of that frequently. Acceptance of that allows you to calmly receive whatever guidance and advice you get. God opens ways where there seems to be no way. Grasp this truth and hold fast to it. Businesses have been saved, fortunes built, discoveries made, inventions perfected and the dead restored to life after the sentence of defeat has been made by humanity. Fortunately God’s goodness does not stop at the limits of our human vision. Keep steady, keep your faith, keep your courage and remember that God opens ways where, to the human mind, there is no way.
