Will a million dollars make you happy? Are you necessarily prosperous if you have a million dollars? Or is prosperity something else?
Is it a state of mind constantly connected to being joyful, to seeing the beauty in everything that surrounds you?
Is it the joy you experience when you hold a newborn in your arms?
Is it the happiness you feel towards a young couple in love walking down the street hand in hand?
Or is it that special experience you have when you doing that one activity that only you can do in your own special way?
So then, is prosperity the development of a state of mind which is constantly joyful, which is consistently upbeat regardless of one's circumstances?
Is prosperity seeing the glass always half full and not half empty?Is prosperity having a continuous experience of happiness and peace in spite of prevailing difficulties?
Can you learn to develop a prosperous attitude whether or not you have a million dollars
Learning initially to quiet the mind helps. Meditation and prayer are the keys. Also spending time in nature would help.
Spending quality one-on-one time with someone you love would help.
Finding meaning in the job that you do would help. Finding your place of beauty in our troubled world is the goal.
Ask yourself, as you embark on your personal journey of prosperity, "What is that one thing I can do better than anybody else?"
And when you have found it, start doing it immediately.
Secondly ask yourself this: "How can I use this one thing to serve others?"
When you know the answer, go out and help. You would be amazed at the joy you can derive from selfless service to others!
