Today we are looking at the subject of prosperity with our lighter side post. This is a subject that has a lot of controversy surrounding it…
It is fun and useful to analyze the word and the meaning behind the word…Fun I say because there are some really skewed views of what the terms embodies, and useful because, hey we want to be prosperous, right?
To figure out if we do want prosperity, we have to first determine what it is and means. Then we can carve out our own definition of the term for what is important in our life.
From that base understanding, the next step is to figure out where you are on your own personal path to prosperity, and take the steps or make the changes to move towards your end goal however you have defined it…
Let’s get started!
WHAT IS PROSPERITY?
I always like to refer back to a dictionary to see what the word means or what the meanings may be. Often there are different interpretations of words…
Let’s have a little entertaining (?) video to start out this section of the tutorial….
[videoframes src=”” skin=”28″ controls=”1″ headline_text=”Prosperity At What Price?????” headline_color=”#000000″ headline_size=”22″]
Here is what Webster’s Dictionary has to say about this word:
prosperity
Definition of prosperity for Students
“The state of being successful usually by making money”
Source: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/prosperity
Seems simple enough I think you would agree?
However, many people think there is more, MUCH more, to what lies behind the word and classic definition…
Let’s have a look at what other viewpoints there are…
THE MANY “FACES” OF PROSPERITY…
Now that you know the book definition, it is helpful to hear about other viewpoints on what prosperity may be…
The Bible
In the Bible, in 3 John, he describes 2 kinds of prosperity…There is the “spiritual” which is having an abundance of fulfillment in your soul, and secondly, the “material” which is having success financially…
Feng Shui
Feng Shui describes prosperity differently and based on the fundamentals of what the belief system entails…They say that prosperity = abundance.
Abundance comes in many forms…
Happiness, Career, Health, Relationships, Home and family, and Wisdom can all be sources of abundance for a person.
The philosophy speaks of “chi energy” that cycles through the five elements around us. These elements include Water, Wood, Metal, Fire, and Earth…
As the cycles of energy flow through the elements, it provides abundance for us. We must learn how to activate the release of abundance that is our for the taking.
Thes elements exist all around us, and it is the advisor or ourselves. through gaining the knowledge of how to arrange things around us, that we can activate the energy and gain abundance…
Random Prosperity Viewpoints
There are yet other people that think of prosperity in other ways than the traditional book definition.
Instead of the one-dimensional viewpoint of financial success, they prefer to describe it in levels of happiness we experience…
- What we achieve
- How we look at and interact with reality
- Having an attitude that allows us to be comfortable with ourselves as we are, not what others want us to be
- This perspective allows us to be at peace with our self and the world around us…
In short, having these attitudes means that we can be a happy person…This is abundance for them…
Knowing that there are many definitions and perspectives on prosperity will allow you to do some critical thinking and determine for yourself what the word means for you.
This is helpful because then you can determine what your purpose is to be here on this earth and determine your path to prosperity. Now you may be asking why?
Good question, let’s drill down on that in the next section…
WHY PURSUE PROSPERITY?
There are a thousand reasons you may want to have prosperity in your life, but I think it boils down to three reasons:
(1) Peace within…
If you know what the word means for you and you actively work to create an environment that will allow you to achieve the state of being, you will have a lot more enriching life…It is that simple for me…
(2) Peace externally…
As you work to create the conditions for leading an enriching life that results in prosperity, it will have an ancillary effect on those immediately around you. They too are likely to get caught up in your quest, find out what prosperity means for themselves, and so it goes…the cycle continues…
(3) Help others achieve prosperity in their lives…
You will also affect the lives of those that you may be touching in a secondary manner…I mean by this that people may hear of you, they may read or see some of your creations or projects, etc. This will inspire them to emulate you and add to your contributions to prosperity in themselves and others…
Now it is up to you to decide how you want to define and live a prosperous life. What steps will you take, what changes will you make, how and when will you make them…
Also, you must determine if the end justifies the means of your “prosperity.” If you take other’s money through fraud, scams, or misrepresentation, can you really call this “prosperity?”
If the only measure of the word is the money you have with no regard to the people around you or how you got that money, it is a very hollow and bankrupt type of prosperity in my mind…
Have a look at this very inspiring video that has so much truth within the words…

CONCLUSION
Today with this Lighter Side post we took a look at prosperity from a traditional then from a more introspective view…
We presented an example of a prosperous preacher who has gotten his wealth through questionable means, by being a “healer” and taking people’s hard-earned and likely sorely needed money, to live a lavish lifestyle at their expense.
If this first perspective of prosperity is your idea of the concept, then I can only say it is high time that you were exposed to the second view of what prosperity can and should be…
At the end of your life, as in the second video, you otherwise will likely have a LOT of regrets…
In any case, the idea is that your critical thinking kicks in and you start doing some introspection on what it is you want out of life and what prosperity represents for you.
Lastly, I offered you some free training in the form of two book that will help guide you as yo make a decision on what “prosperity” you will pursue…
I urge you to get the training, explore what prosperity is for you, and determine the steps to attain that lofty goal, and then start taking action to move in that direction.
Have fun and don’t have regrets later as you look back on your life!
