Happy St. Patrick’s Day!— Today many people think about luck, prosperity, and finding a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. Remember as you celebrate this holiday that gratitude thinking is what brings prosperity into your life.

You can never create prosperity by talking or thinking about your lack of money. There are a few negative affirmations and attitudes that are guaranteed to keep prosperity beyond your reach—for example: I never have enough money. That’s a terrible affirmation. Dwelling on lack only creates more lack.

Be sure to make a daily gratitude list.

If you would only change your thinking to allow the abundance of the Universe to flow through your experience, you could have all the things you think the lottery or a pot of gold will bring you.

If you want to prosper, you must use prosperity thinking. To help you do this, here are some green and prosperous affirmations to practice:

My income is constantly increasing.

I prosper wherever I turn.

Today is a delightful day. Money comes to me in expected and unexpected ways.

I give myself the green light to go ahead, and to joyously embrace the new.

Green means “go,” and I choose to go for all the good life has in store for me.

I love dress-up holidays. I can be anyone I choose today.

I support others in becoming prosperous, and in turn, Life supports me in wondrous ways.

I am now willing to be open to the unlimited prosperity that exists everywhere.

I live in a loving, abundant, harmonious universe, and I am grateful.

I deserve the best, and I accept the best now.

All is well and I am safe.
