The Principle of Emptiness
I originally got this in PowerPoint format and thought I'd share it with you.
A friend once said that prosperity easily comes to those with open hands. You need to have space for it to come into your life. So let go of useless things or feelings you've been holding on to that is keeping you from receiving those blessings.
Think about it, if you have your hands full, how else can you hold more?
Have you got the habit of hoarding useless objects, thinking that one day, who knows when, you may need them?
Have you got the habit of accumulating money, and not spending it because you think that in the future you may be in want of it?
Have you got the habit of storing clothes, shoes, furniture, utensils and other home supplies that you haven’t used already for some time?
And inside yourself... Have you got the habit to keep reproaches, resentment, sadness, fears and more?
Don’t do it! You are going against your prosperity!
It is necessary to make room, to leave an empty space in order to allow new things to arrive to your life.
It is necessary that you get rid of all the useless things that are in you and in your life, in order to prosperity to arrive.
The force of this emptiness is one that will absorb and attract all that you wish.
As long as you are, materially or emotionally, holding old and useless feelings, you won’t have room for new opportunities
Goods must circulate...
Clean your drawers, the wardrobes, the workshop, the garage...
Give away what you don’t use any longer...
The attitude of keeping a heap of useless stuff ties your life down.
It’s not the objects you keep that stagnate your life...
but rather the attitude of keeping...
When we keep in store, we consider the possibility of wanting, of penury...
We believe that tomorrow it may lack, and that we won’t be able to fulfill those necessities...
With that idea, you are sending two messages to your brain and to your life:
That you don’t trust tomorrow... and you think that the new and the better are not for you.
For this reason you cheer yourself up by storing old and useless stuff.
Get rid of what lost its color and brightness...
Let the new enter your home... and yourself.
May prosperity and peace reach you soon
Amen.

HI! I have done changing it. Thanks!
this is a great post. it reminded me to clean out my closet and donate my smaller-sized clothes--the ones I thought I could still wear when I lose the weight I've been carrying for how many years now.
Hello KCee, What you all said here is true. I posted an entry in my blog , similar to this entitled, "I Want More and More '
