Leaning into prosperity begins by facing in the right direction.

People get stuck. Once you get burned a couple of times, it’s easy to think it’s permanent. Once it happens, negative circumstance seems to create a precedence, and you can falsely believe you’re cursed, or that life has forgotten about you. When you’re faced in the wrong direction, life feels empty. The past is a lonely, dark, and hurtful place.

Callousness is a cyclic, mental pattern created by negative beliefs that pull you downward. When one becomes jaded, they are trying to lead with the past. You dredge up sewage, each time you think of those hurtful things. You sling mud at yourself, every time you think of the errors. But you cannot attract new things if all that you do faces the old things. If you leave no room for the imagination to at least face forward, you have no chance to steer out of the cycle of despair.

The imagination needs a blank canvass. It cannot work well if the past leads every thought and idea. The key is to catch yourself negating your good ideas, talking yourself out of something, or simply ignoring a possible good-fortune. A mistake is not a permanent record. Mistakes are only hindsight for improvement, that’s all. Recalling trauma keeps you faced in the wrong direction. You have the power to forgive. You have the power to create a blank space where the imagination can finally ignite. You can dream, but the mind is often locked in the wrong direction. Look up into the sky, it totally forgives you. Look at nature, it’s in complete harmony with you, no matter how undeserving your feel. Go deep into the abyss, and there you will find light. That inward light shines towards advancement. The negative beliefs are dragging you down. It’s time look up, look within, and clean the slate. It’s time to face forward.
