"Are You Willing to Prosper?" Part 2 by
Dr. Rhoberta Shaler.

To prosper is "to thrive, to flourish, to be successful in every way". Are you willing to entertain this concept as natural rather than as something you have to strive and struggle to achieve?

When you are: spiritually aware; mentally competent; emotionally balanced; self-responsible (mature); physically vital; in harmony with the rhythms of nature; enjoying mutually supportive relationships; or succeeding in your worthy ventures; .....YOU ARE PROSPERING. Each of these is available to you if you will take the necessary steps.

The first step is to clearly understand your major purpose in life. What are you about? What do you stand for? Without a sense of meaningful purpose, you may have a reasonably comfortable lifestyle, but you may neither feel satisfied nor experience all that life has to offer. Switching your thinking from "What's in it for me?" to "What do I have to contribute?" is a good start.
