More Thoughts about Prosperity

Prosperity isn't all about money. To be prosperous, a person needs to be happy, healthy, and have enough money or other resources to meet their needs.

In order to be prosperous, it's good to pay attention to prosperous people. Unhappy people don't know how to be happy. Unhealthy people don't know how to be healthy. Poor people don't know how to be wealthy.

To hell with regret, there’s only learning. Everything you’ve ever done has gotten you to where you are now. Congratulate yourself for all the good things you've done. Learn from everything else.

So you’ve pissed off some people in your life. So has everybody else. If it bothers you, learn from it.

Is there emotion associated with money?

That depends on the person. Generally speaking, hell yes.

I still get emotional about money. I know it's neutral and is only a form of energy but I still beat myself up about it occasionally. I'm getting better about it, though. I started looking at money as another form of energy. That helped me to become objective about it. Energy comes in, energy goes out. Money should do the same. If money doesn’t come in, you’re likely broke and miserable. If money doesn’t go out, you’re probably an unhappy miser. Still miserable. Neither deficiency nor stagnation are balanced.

I would suggest you become very friendly with money and prosperity. Think about money as an ally. Think about prosperity like you would about a trusted friend. Invite it in, offer it a beer or a cup of herbal tea. Have a good, long conversation with it and get to know it better. Like all good buddies, in the long run, you'll be glad you got to know them.

The question to you, dear readers, is, "How would you describe your relationship to prosperity?"
