As
I honor African Americans for their outstanding contributions to the world this
month, I thought this would be a good time to mention those who have made their
wealth through their creative endeavors.
Reading
the biographies of the top five riches African Americans on the Forbes list of
the Wealthiest Black Americans-- Oprah, Tiger Wood, Michael Jordan, Earvin
“Magic” Johnson and Robert Johnson-- I knew instantly they had built a
prosperity consciousness that would weather the difficult economic conditions
of today. Somewhere along the life journeys of the above five people, they
discovered who they really were—heir to the Kingdom of the Creator.
Furthermore,
as apparent heirs, they knew they were gifted with the ability to create whatever
they desire in this world against all odds. They not only built a prosperity
consciousness, but they also maintain it.
In
my eBook, Path to Truth, I list 25 principles derived from the spiritual
laws. Principle #13 states: It is our birthright to be physically,
emotionally, mentally and spiritually prosperous.
In
order to build your own prosperity consciousness the first step in
consciousness work is to look at your belief system. To help you through this
process, answer the following questions:
What do you believe?
- Do you believe that your personal
welfare depends on whether or not God is going to give or not give you the
money, job, house, promotion, ear, etc., that you asked for?
- Do you believe that you’re only
successful if you make a certain amount of money?
- Do you believe that the world economy affects
your income?
- Do you believe that if you were to
become independently wealthy you would not be happy?
- Do you believe that you cannot get what
you want because you belong to a minority group, or because you are short,
fat or not pretty enough?
- Do you believe that your spouse, boss,
children, or the government is blocking your flow of good to you?
- Do you believe that money is the root al
all evil?
- Do you believe that there is not enough
money and time to go around?
- Do you believe that you will be happy if
you get all the material things that you desire?
10.Do
you believe that some people are wealthy because they are lucky?
There
are three distinct financial belief clubs in this world—the Haves, the Have
Nots and the Inbetweens that determine financial status:
