A Widespread Myth About Manifesting Abundance

The general consensus all over the world is that America is the land of opportunity.

And you know what? Anybody who says that is right. This has been the richest, most prosperous nation that the world has ever seen. America has more millionaires than any nation on earth, in fact, the number of millionaires in America are greater than the populations of many small nations. There is so much of an abundance in everything in this country, even compared to the other "rich" nations of the West. People have often remarked to me that compared to a country like England, every thing is "bigger" and more "plentiful" here. I was even told when you compare the supermarkets in both countries, you'll notice how even the meat here looks thicker and juicier and that the supply of food is greater.

America encourages upward mobility. Laws are much more friendly towards people looking to start their own business in this country compared to other countries, and there's a lot less red tape involved. This is a crucial factor in creating wealth, because if you talk to most millionaires, they will tell you if you the KEY to creating wealth for yourself is being self-employed. Also, despite the complaints of taxes in this country, taxes are a lot lower than say a country like Canada, where taxes are around or over 50% of one's income.

It is for reasons like these that people, even from rich countries, flock here to take advantage of the opportunities.

However, I've noticed a misconception about all this. Many people around the world blame their poverty and lack of success on the country they live in. Now sure, in many of these countries, they have inept leaders with oppressive regimes that impose economic policies that stifle the growth of that country, not encourage them. There are many leaders around the world that are more interested in lining their pockets and the coffers of the Swiss bank than using government funds to make investments that would encourage economic growth and prosperity. Surely, if these leaders had a vision that was geared towards improving their economies then there would be more visible opportunities for the masses that live in these countries.

Also, there are many countries torn apart by war, and unlike America and other Western nations, MOST nations become poorer due to war, not richer. In a case like this, then you would expect that if a person were to leave their war torn country, they would have more access to opportunities.

That being said, there are many people in countries outside America that can be considered poor who are doing quite well for themselves and have no problem manifesting abundance in their lives. Conversely, there are MANY, MANY people in America who are poor and have a lot of problems manifesting abundance in their lives. These people doing well in Third World countries that are considered poor in many cases are content to stay where they are and have no desire to live in America. Also, many of these people in these Third World countries are creating wealth legitimately and not by crooked means.

Manifesting abundance is not dependent on your location but rather on your perception. There are universal laws for manifesting abundance that work ANYWHERE, whether you're in Chad, or Haiti, or China, or whether you're in India. The last time I checked, the universe didn't only exist in America, though people would like to think so. You can be in one of the poorest nations in the world, and see abundance all around you, or you can be on the richest nation on earth, America, and see poverty everywhere. It is your perception that will determine your reality.

Since in most of the world, people's perceptions are influenced by what they see around them, they're more likely to have a scarcity mentality in a "poor" Third World country, and wealth in a "rich" First World country. However, the truth of the matter is, if you can train your mind to see abundance EVERYWHERE, you will subsequently be manifesting abundance in any country you go. I'm sure if Donald Trump were dropped in the middle of a poor nation of Chad with nothing, two years later he will be financially wealthy again (he'll probably still have issues in other areas of his life because financial wealth is only ONE aspect of abundance). This is because Trump understands the laws for manifesting abundance and they will work anywhere he goes.

America may be the land of opportunity, but with the right mindset, you can create opportunity everywhere you go.

Mindset is one of the keys to manifesting abundance.
