Many people are struggling and out of work. All the news about how bad it is can influence the vibration you put out for more money or better work circumstances. That means YOU limit YOU. Just because the economy isn\u2019t good, doesn\u2019t mean YOURS must be bad. YOU create your reality, not the news about the economy or seeing people you know having financial problems. YOU create your reality with the expectations you put out.<\/p>\n<p>I work freelance\u2014no job or steady income. Yet I\u2019m doing well, because that\u2019s how I choose to set my reality. It can be hard to expect to get the work you need when opportunities are drying up. But there are still opportunities. I get them! Why not you? When your faith is strong that you\u2019ll be fine in any economy,\u00a0 and you let the Universe know this with a strong vibration, you\u2019ll be okay!<\/p>\n<p>I have a friend who works for himself. His income is dependent on how many people use his service. He&#8217;s a man of strong faith in God. But he scoffs the idea of the Law of Attraction and refuses to listen to suggestions. He told me his business is down and he\u2019s applying for a fourth part time job to compensate for slow business in his trade. He vehemently justifies his situations with the belief that in a down economy, he must expect to have less people use his service.<\/p>\n<p>When I suggest he change his mindset, he always says, \u201cGod provides.\u201d Yes, God is providing him with many small jobs that each pays a little doing menial work while he uses his talent less and less. He\u2019s always working, living hand to mouth. God is providing him with fulfillment of his expectations and finding the menial jobs he expects to need to pay his rent. While his faith in God is strong, his overriding belief is that he will have to struggle in a down economy. Yet I know others who do what he does who still have plenty of clients.<\/p>\n<p>So he tells God he expects to struggle and gets support in that. God provides the different jobs to fill in his income and he continues to struggle, accepting that it\u2019s how it\u2019s meant to be. But it\u2019s not! Your expectations are a choice, not a sentence created by people and the news around you. Many people are doing well in this economy and I don\u2019t just mean heads of companies. People are starting businesses that make money. There are still good job openings and people who need services.<\/p>\n<p>The people who expect to do well are more likely to be the ones doing well. Those like my friend, who is sure that business should go down in a down economy, aren\u2019t. How do you feel about your economic situation? Is your income reflecting that? If it is and you don\u2019t like it, change your thoughts about the economy. Expect that life will go well, no matter what the economy or what others say. It will if YOU let it!<\/p>\n<p>See all the posts in my Law of Attraction in Action Series <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/2009\/01\/Law-of-Attraction-in-Action-Series.html\" target=\"_blank\">HERE<\/a>.<br \/>\n***************<\/p>\n<p>Take the <a href=\"http:\/\/howdoiloveme.com\/the-pledge\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>31 Days of Self-Love Challenge<\/strong><\/a> and get my book, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/howdoiloveme.com\/the-book\" target=\"_blank\">How Do I Love Me?

Let Me Count the Ways, a She's appeared on hundreds of TV and radio shows, including Oprah, Howard Stern, and Good Morning America and has been quoted in dozens of publications, including the New York Times, Chicago Sun-Times, Cosmopolitan, Redbook, Marie Claire, and Men\u00b9s Health. After being a consummate People Pleaser who felt unworthy of getting her own needs met for many years, Daylle found a path of self-love that enabled her to build her self-esteem and reinvent herself into a dual career. She learned to get taken seriously without being overtly assertive when she became one of the first women to start an independent record label (on a dare!) and learned to play ball nicely and successfully in an industry dominated by men. To help independent musicians empower themselves, Daylle writes music business books for Billboard\/Random House, including the very popular Start &amp; Run Your Own Record Labe and I Don't Need a Record Deal! Daylle's books have been translated into over 10 languages and are popular around the world. She speaks for colleges, organizations and corporations. Through her company, Project Self-Empowerment, Daylle creates programs and materials to help people empower themselves. One goal is to raise the money to self-publish her book, How Do I Love Me? Let Me Count the Ways and give it away for free in colleges and through organizations, to give thanks for all her blessings. Daylle uses her writing and speaking to help others find the kind of contentment and empowerment that she has.","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/author\/dschwartz"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2869","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/83"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2869"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2869\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2875,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2869\/revisions\/2875"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2869"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2869"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2869"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
