Nature abhors a vacuum. And because the inherent nature of the universe is good  - it will naturally fill a vacuum with good.
One evening at the end of the prosperity class I was teaching at my church, one of the students walked up to me confused.  She wanted to know how all “this prosperity stuff” could be working, since she had recently lost her job, and her boyfriend left her.

The interesting thing was that she had been complaining about that job for months.  Her pay was minuscule, and it seemed to offer no room for advancement.  And several times we had discussed her boyfriend, who had been both physically and verbally abusive to her.

So actually, as I told her, she was quite likely on a very positive path towards prosperity.  Which is exactly how it turned out for her.   As her consciousness developed, her job could no longer hold her, and her boyfriend was no longer comfortable with her.  Ultimately she was able to get a much better job, and attract a man who appreciated her and wouldn’t abuse her.

If you are holding on to something negative, there is no room for the positive to come into your life.  So when people come to me for advice because they are manifesting prosperity in all areas of their lives, the first question I ask is the one below:

What are you still holding on to—that you need to release? 

Remember: The universe cannot put good into your hand, until you let go of what you are holding in it. You are surrounded by good everywhere.  The only lack, is the lack in your mind.  Open your mind to receive prosperity, create a vacuum to hold it, and you will attract it.
