Surviving or thriving

If you believe that you are here in this lifetime to just make it by each day, then you will receive just what it takes for that to occur. Our self talk of "Life is tough. It is hard to make ends meet. People are out of work and no one can pay their bills," keeps us in that place of just getting by. We convince ourselves that this is the reality we are faced with and act accordingly. If you assume this approach to life and are genuinely happy, then I suppose this is where are you meant to be. If not, perhaps it is time to look at life differently. I believe that we are here for more than this. I believe that it is our birthright to live a full and happy life where our needs and desires are fulfilled. The more I adhere to this belief, the more I see it manifesting in my life. I enjoy excellent health, a business that continues to grow (in spite of what we hear about the economy), and being surrounded by kind and supportive people. Mind you that it wasn't always like this for me. Surviving was my way of life. As I have applied the principles of the Law of Attraction I have come to thrive and enjoy life fully. Which do you prefer today - to survive or thrive?
