When you focus on lack and scarcity and what you dont have, you fuss about it with your family, you discuss it with your friends, you tell your children that you dont have enough - We dont have enough for that, we cant afford that - then youll never be able to afford it, because you begin to attract more of what you dont have. If you want abundance, if you want prosperity, then focus on abundance. Focus on prosperity. (Lisa Nichols) Many people in Western culture are striving for success. They want the great home, they want their business to work, they want all these outer things. But what we found in our research is that having these outer things does not necessarily guarantee what we really want, which is happiness. So we go for these outer things thinking theyre going to bring us happiness , but its backward. You need to go for the inner joy, the inner peace, the inner vision first, and then all of the outer things appear. (Marci Shimoff)
