Thad’s co-workers have a company award ceremony each year and they make up some crazy categories. Last year, Thad got the “Best Hair” award…. obviously! lol. 

This year however, he received the award for “Most Likely To Give All His Money Away To Charity.”

Although the awards are meant to be funny, I couldn’t be any prouder that this is how people see my husband! We truly live an abundant life!

It got me thinking about a time when I wasn’t so “abundant.” I was a single mom for years and back then, $100 might as well have been a million. 

I remember watching the movie “The Secret” and writing myself a fake check for $50,000 which I hung in my office. I looked at it daily and thought maybe if I just wish, pray, or want it harder it will happen.

When it didn’t happen, I figured I was doing something wrong. 

Listen, the “law of attraction” is true, but it’s not MAGIC. You can’t magically turn your 2007 Jeep Liberty into a Lamborghini just because you believe really hard.

You CAN however take steps to put yourself into a far more abundant mind frame which WILL make you feel more abundant and will in turn attract more into your life. It’s a process, not an event. Mo Money Mo Money!

Here are some tips to start attracting more prosperity and abundance into your life, no matter your life stage, or current financial status:

  1. Be generous…. often! That doesn’t mean you have to attend fundraisers, it could just mean you deliver a small coffee to the homeless guy outside of Starbucks. (They LOVE getting something warm!) Or… Little kids love coins… give a few pennies to a little one and see how excited they get!! (Learn gratitude from little ones!)
  2. Speaking of coins… don’t let one pass you buy! If you see a coin on the street, bend over and pick it up and say “Thanks Universe!” (Or God.) Snubbing coins is like telling the Universe that you don’t want money! (Hells no!)
  3. Change your damn language for F sake’s!!! No, not your cuss words- those are great. Your “poor” words and phrases like “I could never afford that. I’ll never have that. It’s too expensive.” Start saying “I’m not going to prioritize that right now.” or “I don’t have it YET.” or even “That’s well within my possibilities but I’m focusing on other things at this time.”
  4. Stop insulting the “Haves.” You’ll never go from “Have not” to “Have” with a shitty attitude about those who have abundance. The absolute biggest block to abundance will always be your own attitude. When you see someone doing well, smile and wish them well or congratulate them! Gratitude is the ONLY attitude for living a prosperous life.
  5. Redefine what success and prosperity look like because you may be chasin’ someone else’s dream! If you think driving a Lambo, or have a million dollars is success, I’d say you need to take a long hard look at what’s important to you. When I was a single Mom, I thought having a big fancy house was success until I got the big fancy house and realized it was more to pay for, and more to clean. Success to me now is food in my belly, love in my heart, kids that call me, and giving when I can.
  6. If you can’t give your money, give your time. Even as a single Mom, I made time to give back by volunteering and yes, I took all 3 kids with me most of the time. It wasn’t always easy, but it was always worth it because now my children are 3 of the most generous and compassionate adult people I know. THIS to me is success!
