No, I’m NOT talking about your vacuum cleaner. I’m sure you’re pretty well introduced to it, by now. No, the vacuum I’m talking about is the kind of vacuum that is an empty space. When you’re looking to increase your prosperity, create a vacuum.

You have heard it said that Nature abhors a vacuum. It is particularly true in the realm of prosperity. The vacuum law of prosperity is one of the most powerful, though it takes bold, daring faith to set it into operation, as well as a sense of adventure and expectation to reap its full benefits. When a person is honestly trying to be prosperous, is thinking along prosperous lines an still fails, it is usually because he needs to invoke the vacuum law of prosperity.

Basically, the vacuum law of prosperity is this: if you want greater good, greater prosperity in your life, start forming a vacuum to receive it! In other words, get rid of what you don’t want to make room for what you do want. If there are clothes in the closet or furniture in your home or office that no longer seem right for you; if there are people among your acquaintances and friends that no longer seem congenial - begin moving the tangibles and intangibles out of your life, in the faith that you can have what you really want and desire. Often it is difficult to know what you do want until you get rid of what you do not want.¹

If you remember from high school science, two things cannot occupy the same space. This is true of physical space as well as mental space. Sometimes it’s tangible things we need to get rid of to make room for what we really want. Other times it’s intangible things (thoughts, beliefs, grudges, relationships) we need to clear away.

Whenever you dare to form a vacuum, the substance of the universe then rushes in to fill that empty space. This applies on the spiritual, mental and physical planes of life.

By letting go of the lesser, you automatically create room for your greater good to come in.¹

This where bold faith is required. It’s hard for most of us to give up “ok” in the anticipation of “great” because we’re afraid “great” won’t show up. So, we hang onto to the “ok” out of fear.

Where might you be hanging onto “ok” in your life?
