Maria Duval: How to create a constant flow of money in your life

Here is a story from Maria Duval about getting wealthier through our position thought process.

A few years ago, a young bank cashier said to me: “How can I get more money? How can I get to do the things I want to do?

I answered him with a simple explanation, telling him that his habitual thoughts were ingrained in his subconscious mind and that if he steered his thoughts and inner dialogue in the right direction, he could have all the money he needed.

I emphasised the fact that his dialogue with himself was responsible for everything happening in his life. And I asked him how he would think, speak and act if he already had the money he wanted. He replied that he would buy a beautiful home for his family and a boat, that he would travel round the world and then he would study political economy at university.

I suggested that he should speak to himself in the following manner:

“I have a beautiful house. I am travelling around the world. I am studying political economy at University”.

This was the kind of inner discourse he regularly held as he went about his work during the day at the bank. He never contradicted these things he was telling himself inside.

And it all came true. Now he earns more money than the bank manager did. Money is circulating freely in his life and he has achieved all his ambitions.

The inner conversation of this bank employee was conducted as though he already had all these things. Each of them was real in the sense that it existed as a “thought-image” in his mind and this is the key. First you need to possess everything you want in your mind, because everything stems from that.

This man kept his sights on his aims and objectives, understanding that his inner dialogue was bound to become a reality.

You therefore need to establish the mental equivalent of whatever you want out of life. Think longingly of what you want; your thoughts generate an EMOTION, and when these thoughts are repeated over and over again, they become engraved on your subconscious and are certain to come true. Because this is the Law of
your Mind.

Maria Duval: We have a choice in life, learn to Appreciate it.

Dear all, it is nice to be back after so many months. Yes, hope you all enjoy the London Olympics as much as I do.

Finally.. I have managed to recover my account access. Lets get back on track and discuss about abundance and prosperity again. In this age, we really require a lot of these positive ideas and thinkings.

First of all, it is about the topic of appreciation. Certainly, not many in today's world feel appreciative of the good lifes they are living in as many of us just take things for granted. We through away wasteful food and draining away awful amount of precious energies thinking why not as I can afford it.

According to gurus, appreciating oneself and life is one of the most potent spiritual forces in the Universe and can amply us to the strongest vibrations, meaning you will get it easier to attract good things into your life. Literally it means that if you want a lot of prosperity in life and you just want to relax and enjoy more of your life, then starting to appreciate as many things in life as you can.

Now, the next question will surely be, how do we appreciate life? It is rather easy which is to search for anything in your life with the best thought about it and the next best thought about it and so on. In this way, you will learn how to appreciate the beauty of life.

Let me quote this paragrahy, source.

"For instance, let's say you're not too fond of your place of work and you feel so stressed there that you have a hard time being appreciative. A good thought you might have about your work is that it pays your bills so you have food, shelter and gainful employment. Next, you might reach for a thought about a co-worker who is your friend, who keeps you laughing. After that, a thought about a good laugh the two of you shared will probably pop into your head. After that, a thought about how much better your current job is than your last one will appear. Next, you might appreciate the amount of vacation time you get. And so on. "

The gist of it is to keep on persisting on the appreciate thought even though it may appear ludicruous at first. Yes, I can understand, most of us hate the work place with its torrid amount of senseless works done just to please the bosses. Yes, most of us have this thinking that work is forced upon us.

However, Maria Duval advises me that it is not the way life should be. We have a choice to be happy, relaxed and appreciative in order to attractive more positive energies into us. If we can follow through this appreciate thought pattern, sooner or later we will find that life will be more motivated, uplifted and happier! Just go to figure out how much vibrations you will have and how much prosperity/abundance will come your way.

Yes, this world desperately needs more appeciative thoughts, especially with all the negative stories coming out of many corners almost daily.

Best wishes and cheers to you!
