What Is Prosperity? by Dr Wayne Dyer

Authentic power does not come to you from the aquisition of money, because without the money you would then be powerless. Authentic power comes from your soul, that magical place that is always within you.

Prosperity in the form of wealth works exactly the same as everything else. You will see it coming into your life when you are unattached to needing it. You will see it flowering into your life when you are in flow and and giving of yourself in a purposeful manner. Money - like health, love, happiness and all forms of miraculous happenings that you want to create for yourself - is the result of you living purposefully. It is not a goal unto itself. If you chase after it, it will always elude you. you will never have enough, and you will suffer enormously as a result.

There are examples everywhere of people who have large amounts of money but are purposeless in their souls. Famous actors and actresses plagued by drug habits, committing suicide at what others thought of as the peak of their careers. Hotshot businessmen plagued by fear, wracked with ulcersm and ending their lives because of business failures. Divorce rates among the very wealthy, skyrocketing along wiht painful courtroom squabbles over who gets what. Lottery winners plagued with alcoholism and ending up bankrupt or suicidal even though they are in possession of unimaginable bank accounts. When wealth is the reason for your activities, and the quality of your life is based on what you have accumulated compared with others, then prosperity is impossible. You will be back at suffering as your means of enlightenment.

When you are on purpose, doing what you know you are here for, and forgetting about what will come into your life in the way of money and wealth, then money and wealth arrive in your life in amounts sufficient to provide you with a life of prosperity. And this is real magic in action. I can say this because it has worked for me ( me - Greg). When I chased after money, I never had enough. When I got my life on purpose and focuse on giving of myself and everything that arrived into my life, then I was prosperous.

Prosperity is not the result of following a strict set of gimmicks and strategies, it is a mind-set, a mind-set that is centred on your ability to manifest miracles. Whatever you have believed to be impossible, shift it around to create an inner prosperity picture.

Paramahansa Yogananda put it in these words:

Possession of material riches, without inner peace, is like dying of thirst while bathing in a lake. If material poverty is to be avoided, spiritual poverty is to be abhorred! For it is spiritual poverty, not material lack, that lies at the core of all human suffering.

The Above excerpt is From 'Real Magic', Dr Wayne Dyer.

"Wealth Is Not His That Has It,
But His That Enjoys It."
Benjamin Franklin

"The wealthiest man is the one who needs the least"
Lao Tse Tao Te Ching

Success is getting what you want, Happiness is being happy with what you have.

"Those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly."
Robert F Kennedy

"Money is a terrible master but an excellent servant"
P.T. Barnum

"Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life"
Confucius

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed
by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour.
Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
Mark Twain

These questions may help you determine
'Your True Purpose In Life'

1) Ask yourself, if you won a £1 million what would you do differently in life.

2) If you had perfect health for 6months and then you were going to drop dead, how would you spend the time?

3) Which one quality of your character, if you were to develop it further would serve you the most fully in life?

4) If you had a magic wand, and could grant any one skill or a ability, what would you choose?

5) What is it that gives you the most joy and satisfaction in life?

6)What legacy would you like to leave, how would you like to be remembered?

7) What one great thing would you dare to dream if you knew that you could not fail?

Reflect on the answers you have given, and ask yourself, is my life in alignment with these answers?

If yes this is a great indicator that you are on purpose. If not, then I suggest that your answers indicate where your purpose may lay and begin to steer your life in that direction. The answers you have written have come from your heart and when we put our heart into what we do, we do it with passion and power.
