Most people equate prosperity with money, and they think that if they have a lot of money than that means they are prosperous and that if they have very little, they are not. Creating True Prosperity by Shakti Gawain, bestselling author of Creative Visualization is a perfect book for the inner Samurai bookshelf. Like the Samurai who knows that strength is an inside job, so too does Gawain who says that “the key point to understand is that prosperity is an internal experience, not an external state, and it is an experience that is not tied to having a certain amount of money.”
Through prosperity stories and self-exploration exercises Gawain reveals the inner relationship between power and money. “The more comfortable we are with being powerful, the more money we are likely to create in our lives.” The power that she is talking about is the true, authentic power that resides within the inner Samurai of each one of us.
When working with clients who are starting up a small business, the topic of money frequently comes up. Not just from the standpoint of money needed to start up a business, but also from the point of hidden beliefs about money that are getting in the way of their success. Often at the root is the belief that they really don’t have much power to affect the world, and this is the belief that is getting in the way of their success. When that is the case, I often recommend this book from the inner Samurai bookshelf.
