Such a large concept. Many people want to equate prosperity with money. But money is only a small piece of what prosperity's essence is all about. I have to remind myself that money is a quantitative element while prosperity is more qualitative. It includes money, but its essence has to do with overall quality of life. Prosperity embraces health, wealth, happiness, friends, family, home, work, comfort, contentment. Is my life good? When I answer, "Yes," that's prosperity. In the midst of change, this is a helpful affirmation for me, and it prompts me to be mindful of the things that I'm grateful for in my life.
Another aspect of prosperity is receiving. Sometimes I have had to prepare myself to receive. That means I allow myself to be open to gifts and resources and love coming into my life. I also have to be clear that I deserve these gifts, because they come from God--Source of all that is.
"I don't fully understand Divine Goodness, but I am a part of Larger Spirit, and that largeness is creating my prosperous life."
--Sue Whitacre, journal from 2012
