How To Increase Your Wealth By Clearing Your Clutter

10/22/2012

Is your home cluttered?  Your car?  Your closets?  Your garage?

Someone once asked Charles Fillmore (author of the book PROSPERITY) what he believed the greatest obstacle to prosperity was for most people.

He answered without a moment's hesitation.

"Clutter!"

Why?

We know that reducing clutter can lower stress levels.
(It's easier to find things.  No worrying over guests arriving unannounced.)

We know that reducing clutter can improve your outlook.
(Friends want to come over?  Sure!  Want a guilt-free Saturday afternoon off?  Ok!)

But removing clutter can increase your prosperity?

Yes!

And not for the reasons you might expect, like holding a garage sale or selling items on eBay.  You can actually give or throw the clutter away and still increase the dollars in your life because...

...the process of removing the clutter will change your entire mind.

The Mind Matters
Everything we have or do in our lives comes from our mind-set.  Look at the areas of life you are successful in.  What is your mental state about them?  Determination?  Appreciation?  Focus?

Now look at some areas of your life that aren't where you want them to be.  What is your mental state about them?

The mental state around clutter sounds something like this:
  • "I'm afraid to be decisive."
    (Should I keep this?  Will I use this again?  Will I do this project in the future?  I don't know!)

  • "I believe in lack."
    (What if I need it and I don't have it later? What if I can't afford it get one again?)

  • "I'm worried about the world around me."
    (It was a gift, what if they get mad I threw it away?  I don't know what the future brings, I'd rather be safe than sorry.)
Can you see how these thoughts contribute to a poverty mindset?

Money is like breathing.

You can't keep a breath of air forever, you'll pass out.  You can't keep every dollar you have, either.  You'll starve or go homeless from not spending it on food and housing.

Air must flow.  Money must flow. 

And like with breathing, a stuck prosperity passageway will cause the flow of money in your life to feel stifled, difficult or slow.

So if you don't have as much money as you want, look around.  If you have debt, look around.

Do you have clutter?

The process of removing it will challenge you to create a mental state that sounds like this:
  • "I trust my ability to make decisions right here and right now."
  • "I know I can always get one again if I need or want it."
  • "The world is wonderful and always supporting me."
A true prosperity mindset.

This Was Awesome. I am having a cluttered relationship with a lover and this has related completely for me. I personally am ready to move on but i feel bad for leaving him in his own clutter but I'm realizing that maybe I'm the one keeping him from fallowing his path. And definitely I'm keeping myself from fallowing mine.

Anna,

Thanks for commenting!
It's sometimes really hard to trust but if something is in the highest good for one person it's in the highest good for everyone. And then you have the human journey of going through it, whatever that is. I hope that's as easy and loving as it can be.
