What Does Prosperity Mean to You?

Well, what does prosperity mean to you?

Does it mean having thousands of dollars in the bank? Millions? Billions?

Each of us has our own definition of prosperity. For one person, it might mean having just enough to meet one's needs and living simply. For another, it might mean having millions of dollars in liquid assets, with all the opulence that kind of money allows.

There is no right or wrong definition. There is only the one that is right for you.
If having millions of dollars doesn't turn you on, no amount of motivation will get you moving toward that goal. And that's okay, because all that matters is that you live your life in a manner that excites you, inspires you and lets you feel the joy of fulfilling your purpose.

You may feel deliriously happy and prosperous with only your basic needs being met. If that works for you, don't let anyone tell you that you've got it all wrong.

On the other hand, if you desire wealth with it's accompanying luxury and opportunity, don't let anyone tell you it is out of your reach.

Your life is your creation. You get to decide how you want to live it.

But how do I get from here to prosperity? you might ask. That's what this blog is all about. We want to show you how others have done it, so that you can see the possibilities that exist.

Then it's up to you to choose the path that will get you there, and to set out on that path. It's up to you to remain on that path until you reach your desired destination. You may need to make course corrections along the way. But the important thing is to get started. Do what you can now. Don't try to wait until you have it all figured out. I daresay the greatest minds that have ever shared their wisdom were still figuring things out when they left their earthly bodies.

To quote a famous shoe manufacturer, "Just do it!"
