- “My worry-thoughts about money were simply a sign. The sign said it’s time for me to expand my capacity to revel in the joy of having created abundance and love. To my knowledge, that combination is something new in my family lineage. It’s new territory, and I’m learning to live in it. To do that, I need to overcome thousands of years of programming that adversity is a constant requirement of existence. We need to savor our success, first for seconds at a time, then for minutes that grow into months.” The Big Leap: Conquer Your Hidden Fear and Take Life to the Next Level (Gay Hendricks) Page 75
- “Be sure you are not rejecting prosperity now. If a friend invites you to lunch or dinner, accept with joy and pleasure. Don’t feel you are just “trading” with people. If you get a gift, accept it graciously. If you can’t use the gift, pass it on to someone else. Keep the flow of things moving through you. Just smile and say “Thank you.” In this way you let the Universe know you are ready to receive your good.” You Can Heal Your Life (Louise Hay) Page 115
- “Love Your Bills It is essential that we stop worrying about money and stop resenting our bills. Many people treat bills as punishments to be avoided if possible. A bill is an acknowledgment of our ability to pay. The creditor assumes you are affluent enough and gives you the service or the product first. I bless with love each and every bill that comes into my home. I bless with love and stamp a small kiss on each and every check I write. If you pay with resentment, money has a hard time coming back to you. If you pay with love and joy, you open the free-flowing channel of abundance. Treat your money as a friend, not as something you wad up and crush into your pocket.” You Can Heal Your Life (Louise Hay) Page 115
- “The bills that come in I rejoice over, thanking the companies for trusting me to pay.” You Can Heal Your Life (Louise Hay) Page 117
- “I sit at least once a day with my arms stretched out to the side and say, “I am open and receptive to all the good and abundance in the Universe.” It gives me a feeling of expansion.” You Can Heal Your Life (Louise Hay) Page 117
- “Just having more money is not enough. We want to enjoy the money. Do you allow yourself to have pleasure with money? If not, why not? A portion of everything you take in can go to pure pleasure. Did you have any fun with your money last week? Why not? What old belief is stopping you? Let it go.” You Can Heal Your Life (Louise Hay) Page 118
- “Our family tradition of giving began before there was any wealth at all,” said one trustee. Said another: “The Depression remained a strong influence on my parents, and they knew what it was like to give when you weren’t sure you had enough for yourself. Why would we not give out of abundance?”NCFP, “The Value of Family in Philanthropy
- “Remembering is tied to gratitude and contentment. When we forget about our abundance of blessings, we tend to become unhappy. Forgetting can bring feelings of impatience, selfishness, and greed. Remembering, on the other hand, helps us feel happy in our abundance and more responsive to promptings to share it.” Happiness, Mary Ellen Edmunds
- “It is important that we keep our thinking straight, my brothers and sisters. Let us ever keep in mind that all material things are but a means to an end, that the end is spiritual, although the Lord is anxious and willing to bless his people temporally. He has so indicated in many of the revelations. He has pointed out, time and time again, that we should pray over our crops, over our livestock, over our households, our homes, and invoke the Lord’s blessings upon our material affairs. And he has promised that he will be there and ready and willing to bless us. The Lord will not do for us what we can and should do for ourselves. But it is his purpose to take care of his Saints. Everything that concerns the economic, social, and spiritual welfare of the human family is and ever will be the concern of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.” Manual, Teachings of the Presidents of the Church: Ezra Taft Benson, Chapter 21 Principles of Temporal and Spiritual Warfare
