This statement flies in the face of our usual thinking. “Of course prosperity is about money,” we want to say. But if we believe prosperity is about money, then there is never enough. We need to recognize that prosperity is a spiritual bottom line, not a fiscal one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJANUARY 2\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnlimited Supply\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen we are grounded spiritually, we recognize that Spirit is our source. This means we have an unlimited supply. Turning to a spiritual source moves us into a feeling of abundance. There is one energy, one force, sustaining all of life. That source is Spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJANUARY 3\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoney and Creativity\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany of us believe we will be more creative when we are financially comfortable. “When I have enough money, then I’ll try . . .” we tell ourselves. But creativity does not depend on money. It depends on our sense of abundance. When we extend ourselves creatively, we often trigger an increased flow financially. Creativity is an act of faith. We extend ourselves, believing that good will come to pass. This act of faith brings us closer to our Creator, closer to our flow of good.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJANUARY 4\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHaving Enough\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe are often anxious, telling ourselves that our security is in jeopardy. We fret and worry rather than take concrete actions to remedy our situation. Counting is the beginning of security. We learn how much money we have and where it goes. We are ending fiscal vagueness. As our knowledge becomes more concrete, we are better able to act on our own behalf. It helps to remind ourselves that we have always been taken care of. The Universe is abundant, and it manifests its abundance in many ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJANUARY 5\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClarity\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePutting pen to page and recording our spending and earning gives us the beginning of clarity. Prosperity is not about vagueness, a dim sense that we have enough. Rather, prosperity and clarity go hand in hand. We don’t think we might have enough; we know we do have enough. And if we have a shortfall, we know its proportions. We gain clarity about what we can do to improve our solvency. Often, it is a small step. Are we billing properly for our time and attention? If not, we are debting to ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJANUARY 6\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnxiety\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnxiety blocks our flow. Worried about what we don’t have, focused on our lack, our anxiety increases. It takes a deliberate act of faith to reverse our scarcity thinking. Often, work with an affirmation will clear a channel. The affirmation can be simple: “There is plenty for all of us, including myself.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJANUARY 7\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdrenaline\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany of us, seeking prosperity, find ourselves facing resistance. Why? We have an active addiction to anxiety. We are accustomed to worry. We are habituated to an overflow of adrenaline.

No longer self-reliant, we rely instead on the limitless abundance that is our true source. No task is too difficult for divine intelligence. As we allow Spirit’s mind to think through us, problems are replaced with solutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJANUARY 9\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAddiction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAddiction saps our energy. It keeps us from feeling abundant. Addiction can take many forms: alcohol, drugs, sex and love addiction, overwork—any of these can divert our flow or block it entirely. Turning to our higher power for help with our addictions leads us to freedom and prosperity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJANUARY 10\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Beautiful Harvest\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSolvent, we plant the seeds of a beautiful harvest.

We want the new car, the designer clothes, the chic apartment. So focused are we on these goals that we seldom ask, “What do I truly value?” Our true values, often neglected, are spiritual. We want to feel comfortable in our own skin, secure—something we tell ourselves material goods will convey. The truth is that our spiritual well-being comes to us as we express our true values, extending ourselves in generosity to others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJANUARY 12\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLoss\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen we experience material loss, we often find ourselves shaken in our faith. “How could Spirit let that happen?” we ask, when we should be asking, “Where does this loss point me?” Very often, we are encountering gain disguised as loss. A blow to our economic well-being asks us to acknowledge that in the moment, we are actually fine, despite our loss. We are asked to redouble our faith, affirming that Spirit is in charge and that there is a divine plan of goodness for us, of which this loss is a part. We can pray for acceptance. We can ask to see the silver lining. We can ask to trust that such a lining always exists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJANUARY 13\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpiritual Nutrients\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSourced in Spirit, we are each abloom in the garden of God.

The magic number is elusive. It is always more than we currently have. And yet, when we reach our magic number, we often find that it has gone up. Our expenses have gone up as well. Our magic number is a fantasy. We tell ourselves our finances will be manageable when . . . but financial manageability is grounded in what we have got, not what we will have. It is often the imagined status our magic number will confer that is our true addiction. “If I make six figures, everyone will respect me,” we falsely believe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJANUARY 15\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbundance for All\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe commit ourselves to Spirit.
