Open Your Mind

The book I am currently reading is called, Open your Mind to Prosperity, by Catherine Ponder.

It was written in 1971. So she is one of the pioneers of the current trend in Positive Thinking, called Law of Attraction now.

So far, I have learned that an attitude of gratitude is necessary to open yourself up to new opportunities.

Next, forgiveness. If you hold things against others, you are holding and maintaining your barriers to success. If you forgive others, you set them free and you set yourself free, too. This opens up the channels to new opportunities, also.

It also includes a nice little technique to ask for other's forgiveness for yourself. You can do this remotely, so you don't even have to confront the other person. I like that. It's useful for people from the past that you haven't seen for 30 years and have no idea where they are or if they are still alive.

Other things that get in the way (barriers) to prosperity:

Envy, criticism, and playing the victim role.

Catherine Ponder looks at prosperity through a spiritual perspective and employs prayer as well as affirmations to assist the process. She has written other books about Prosperity, including the Dynamic Laws of Prosperity and The Prosperity Secret of the Ages.

Great titles, great books.
