I got this in an email from Peter Ragnar.

"Peter’s Prosperity Tips"

1. Let your close association only be with thankful, appreciative people, who know how to say “thank you” and ask nothing in return.

2.Never ever listen to the whiner or thecomplainer….

If you do, you may begin to feel the world is unjust and unfair. The complainers throw hot coals into your eyes, and blind you from the beauty and the richness that is yours. Avoid complainers like the plague.

3. Associate only with people that follow through. Those whose word is their honor. People who do not do what they say are dishonest. Dishonesty breeds poverty on all levels of being.

4. End each day by writing all the blessings you have incurred that day; all the reasons to say “thank you.” You will sleep sweetly and richly. Your night will be a continuous affirmation of prosperity.

5. Make beauty your god, and worship it in everything you see, feel, and experience. Then your life will be beautiful, peaceful, and rich. Remember, ugliness becomes beauty when you see the reason for contrast. The star shines more brightly because the night is dark.

6. Do not envy others. For to do so is to only affirm your own lack. If you envy others, you are only saying “poor me.” So be it…you have two wishes left!

7. Rejoice and celebrate in others’ success. For some, this may appear difficult, and yet, this is another overlooked universal law. You will never be successful until you love success in others.

8. Let your self-talk be free of condemnation. Learn from your mistakes, and forget them. That’s why pencils have erasers. If you focus on your so-called mistakes, remember, you get what you set!

9. Value time, and spend it wisely. Don’t allow others to steal it with trivia. Many people have lots of time, while other people have lots of money. The prosperous person has both.

10. You must be rich inside first, if outer richness is to have any meaning. You will only become rich inside by enriching the lives of others. You will only become rich inside when you can understand what real value is all about. Never confuse glass with diamonds…a few diamonds go a long way!
