So many people believe we have to do something first to receive anything, work hard, jump though hoops, but that’s not true. The thought comes first, then the universe sends us the opportunity, then we act upon it and do something. If you don’t believe this as many think we must search for that job first, search for the house and car etc when I have just pictured it all in my mind, then the house, car and opportunity to work came to me. Such as I wanted to help others through my writing but I didn’t go looking for ND. I didn’t know it existed, it came to me because the universe sent the perfect platform, help and people for my stories.

I dreamt of a warm home and the universe sent it to me, I never went looking for one, not a rented property online, in the papers or put my name on a council list. I didn’t look for a car, I just wanted one, visualised it and the perfect car came to me. Go searching and you often put yourself in the wrong home, the wrong job and the wrong car as the universe knows the best thing for you. But we have little patience, can’t wait out of fear of being jobless/homeless, so we do all the hard work rather than trust the things we want will manifest in their own good time. And if you believe nothing can change unless you change it, then how does someone serving life in prison move first, go out and change their life? They don’t, they can’t, they are stuck in a cell behind prison walls with guards for life.

So they have no choice but to just sit and think their way out of there. Take Mandela, stuck in a tiny cell with nothing else to do but think, dream, wish to be free, and because of his thoughts no prison could hold him forever. As the universe sent the people, the world and support that freed him, then he even became president! Innocent men stuck in harsh foreign prisons with no means of escape have continually dreamt of home, their own country, their family and freedom. And the universe has literally opened doors, handed them the keys, opportunity and freedom.

That was not coincidence, that was their own thoughts manifesting, just as we manifest everything in our lives. We are all stuck inside our own prison walls which only exist in the mind, and we all need to free ourselves of these limited, caged thoughts. Very few minds are totally free, but no one has to work hard to get anywhere as so many believe, and the reason it’s so difficult to get anywhere is because we believe it is, as we’ve been taught there’s no other way. Because we are classed as useless and lazy if we don’t try hard, and when we do work ourselves into an early grave that’s admirable not foolish. Many whinge about lazy people living on benefits but does our whinging bother them, who has it right, those working themselves to death to pay for those who couldn’t care less?

Those working for nothing, or those who are given everything, including your taxes. You blame the wrong ones as the universe gave them what they wanted, to stay home and have their needs met. But the worker is proud, yet as the saying goes, pride goes before a fall and we are falling as the harder we work the less we have, and have far less than those who have an easy job and easy life. So we should drop the guilt trip and believe in the dream, if we want to be rich and don’t want to work then fine, the universe won’t judge you for it, man does. Too busy looking at others do.

What about those so rich they don’t need to work? We’d say that’s ok if they can afford it… and what about the retired senior citizen, or those taking an early retirement? Do we call them lazy? And when someone hits the jackpot we expect them to give up their job, we think it’s inevitable and it would be crazy not to, so why are we any different from any of those people who deserve to enjoy their money, good luck to them we say. But we are not rich, so we don’t deserve the same as them? We work harder than they do but we don’t deserve the same wealthy lifestyle?

Can you see how backward this thinking is, we often work the longest and hardest in the worst jobs yet feel we deserve less just because we earn less money, it makes no sense. We must work hard for what we want, but they don’t, so it’s all just a belief, a trick of the mind, wrong teachings from an early age, and it is always those who have worked all their lives that tell us we must work hard if we want to get anywhere, yet where are they exactly? Will they leave a gold mine or regrets at the end of their life?

Where it gets us is struggling along side the rest of the majority, the 99% of the population… middle class and sinking fast, just 3 months away from bankruptcy, through a job loss at any given time? Gone not long after retirement with not much to show for it! Work hard if you wish but discard those old limiting beliefs that accompany those work ethics. We must trust the universe to deliver the dream with no strings attached, we are free to have whatever we want whether we choose to work or not.

Hard work does not automatically spell wealth, belief does! If this wasn’t true then the fool would never be rich or the intellect poor, but they so often are. The hard workers would be rich and the jobless would be poor, but life doesn’t work that way. The mind, thoughts, belief, expectation, focus, feeling and vibration is the key to success or failure. So have faith, trust it will be, then whatever you dream of will be handed to you, doors would open just as they have for many prisoners, because prosperity and freedom is ours for the taking if we could only believe, accept and allow it.
