Your Financial Tide

How does one keep to the Law of Attraction in order to manifest money when others want to remind us that we are flat broke?

This is a question that comes up easily when a person first chooses to attract financial abundance. We turn our attention towards the abundant life we desire and we start feeling really good about it. Staying true to the rules of purposeful manifestation, we turn away from any thoughts of "lack".
At first using the Law of Attraction is a simple task. Then a friend comes around and asks if we want to join them for a night on the town. Now what do we do?

The last thing we want to do is declare, "I cannot go out tonight. I have no money." That would practically undo all of our manifestational work.
So how does one continue to happily focus on attracting extra money, while remaining honest that it has yet to arrive?
I think i may have found a perspective that works for me.

All things work in natural cycles, in ebbs and flows. The same holds true for finances, and even extremely wealthy people have gains and dips. Consider this. Some self-made millionaires end up declaring bankruptcy, but rather than complaining they simply generate great wealth once more.

Accepting these natural cycles in personal finances, therefore, can be compared with the ocean tide. So with that in mind, now we can revisit our friend's invitation to go out for a night on the town.

"I am currently in a low financial tide, but maybe we can do it another time."

I think that adopting this perspective will allow me to feel good about my current financial situation, because it is not a shortcoming or a 'drought'. Just like when the ocean waters are at their lowest, we can rest easy knowing that we are experiencing the point before our levels of abundance begin to rise.

So that's the perspective i aim to adopt, and i invite you to adopt the same point of view.
Low financial tides and high financial tides.
