By virtue of exchange, one man’s prosperity is beneficial to all others.

“By virtue of exchange, one man’s prosperity is beneficial to all others.”-Frederic Bastiat When one person does well it benefits others. It has been proven that giving money to someone else lifted the participants' happiness more than spending it on themselves thus it is more blessed to give than to receive. Giving is good for our health since research states that giving has been linked to better health. Being generous has its health benefits among the sick and elderly. Giving promotes cooperation and social connection therefore when a person gives he is more likely to receive. Give and it shall be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Giving kindles gratitude and it doesn't matter if you are in the receiving or giving side it can bring up feelings of gratitude and it can be a way of expressing or instilling gratitude in a person. Giving is con

No nation ever taxed itself into prosperity.

“No nation ever taxed itself into prosperity.”-Anonymous There are three types of taxes proportional tax, progressive tax, and regressive tax. Tax is the amount of money that you are required to pay to the government so it can pay for public services. No nation can become prosperous by taxing itself more and it can only become prosperous by increasing its value in the economic activity within the country. How can a nation then increase its value in the economy by applying the law of giving and receiving because the more a person gives the more he will receive.

Be like a tree: Stay grounded.

Be like a tree: Stay grounded, connect with your roots, turn over a new leaf, bend before you break, enjoy your unique beauty and keep growing. -Joanne Raptis I would like to take a reference from the book of psalms. How blessed is the person, who does not take the advice of the wicked, who does not stand on the path with sinners, and who does not sit in the seat of mockers. But he delights in the LORD’s instruction, and meditates in his instruction day and night. He will be like a tree planted by streams of water, yielding its fruit in its season, and whose leaf does not wither. He will prosper in everything he does. But this is not the case with the wicked. They are like chaff that the wind blows away.-Psalms 1:1-4 It takes a lot of effort to uproot a tree since it roots runs deep in the soil to give it a firm grip. The tree never stops growing until it reaches it’s full potential but with humans when life tries to bend them they give up and they fail to learn from the l

True prosperity.

Image
“True prosperity is the result of well-placed confidence in ourselves and our fellow man.”-Benjamin Burt A person can build his self-confidence by Visualizing who they want to be or achieve since whatever the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve. Visualization involves a person to see an image they are ambitious about in their mind. Low-confidence is brought about by a low perception towards ourselves but when a person gets a higher vision of themselves their confidence increases. Affirming what we want to experience or have is very powerful since by your words you will be justified. If a person can believe the statement he is telling himself it can manifest in the real world. Overcome your fears by doing things that scare you. A person will gain confidence each day as he confronts his fear since what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger. Ignore the negative story that usually goes on your head. If there is no enemy within the enemy outside can do us no harm. To

Prosperity is a way of living and thinking, and not just money or things.

“Prosperity is a way of living and thinking, and not just money or things. Poverty is a way of living and thinking, and not just a lack of money or things.”-Eric Butterworth A person has 65000 thoughts a day and most of us are not aware of what we are thinking most of the time since most of us operate body-mind where a person is so used to a routine he no longer needs to think about it. Most of the people’s minds are on autopilot meaning that they are not aware of themselves. It takes the same amount of time and effort to think about prosperity as it takes thinking about poverty. If a person has a higher vision of them-self life will give them different results. If you have an inferior or inadequate image of yourself you are going to experience a life of scarcity since the subconscious mind fulfills the image we keep playing in our head. If you have a self-image of being worthy and good enough you will experience a life of prosperity, success, and flow. A person has to have a hi

Prosperity in the form of wealth works exactly the same as everything else.

“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.”-Wayne Dyer If a person loves money and trust that money is everything in his life he will do anything to have it and this causes them to chase after it. Money is attracted to success therefore a person should not chase money but attract money. Money will come into a person’s life when they have a purpose and are determined to live a life full of purpose. Having a purpose in life causes a person to be focused on their goal and be more unattached to money therefore he is more passionate about his goals. Clarity in life comes when people know their purpose and this gives personal gratification to people in the line of work. Furthermore based on a person’s beliefs it causes them to live a value-based life since they are truthful on why they are doing something, therefore, making them have integrity on how they are living their liv

Prosperity belongs to those who learn new things the fastest

Image
“Prosperity belongs to those who learn new things the fastest.”-Paul Zane Pilzer A person can learn faster by trying to teach others or by pretending to teach a concept that they have learned. When a person gets ready to teach they prepare pointing out key points and organizing information to be easily understood. Learning in short periods of time is advisable since the mind can be overloaded with information and feel overwhelmed therefore it advisable to not exceed 50 minutes when learning. Writing down notes will help a person learn and understand better since they have minimal distraction and they are more able to focus on what they are writing down. Reviewing the information on a consistent basis either daily or weekly renews the mind by reading and meditating on the subject. The mind is like a garden and it has been proven that when a person waters a garden once a week for 90 minutes it will be less greener than watering the garden thee times a week for 30 minutes therefor

The first step in achieving prosperity and wealth is learning to appreciate what you already have.

“The first step in achieving prosperity and wealth is learning to appreciate what you already have.”-Anonymous Why do people find it hard to appreciate what they have? why is it tough to be satisfied with how things are in the present time? Humans are always searching for the next big thing. Continuously desiring and longing after the latest and most popular gadget. Ironically most of the things we have currently in our lives we once wished for them. The most tragic thing in life is getting something you were longing for and yet once you get it you don’t feel satisfied. Everything we wish for we hope it will give us joy but the happiness of having it slowly dwindles away until you get used to it. How then can a person be appreciative? By being grateful since it creates a way to happiness and success and this also involves counting one’s blessing. The more a person is appreciative of what they have the more they can be happy and satisfied we get. Heading to a local homeless s

Warning against adultery

Image
Proverbs 5  New International Version (NIV) My son, pay attention to my wisdom,      turn your ear to my words of insight, 2  that you may maintain discretion      and your lips may preserve knowledge. 3  For the lips of the adulterous woman drip honey,      and her speech is smoother than oil; 4  but in the end she is bitter as gall,      sharp as a double-edged sword. 5  Her feet go down to death;      her steps lead straight to the grave. 6  She gives no thought to the way of life;      her paths wander aimlessly, but she does not know it. 7  Now then, my sons, listen to me;      do not turn aside from what I say. 8  Keep to a path far from her,      do not go near the door of her house, 9  lest you lose your honor to others      and your dignity [ a ]  to one who is cruel, 10  lest strangers feast on your wealth      and your toil enrich the house of another. 11  At the end of your life you will groan,      when your flesh and body are spent. 12  You will say, “How I ha

If you want greater prosperity in your life, start forming a vacuum to receive it.

“If you want greater prosperity in your life, start forming a vacuum to receive it.”-Catherine Ponder The way a person creates a vacuum in his life is by giving what he has in his life currently so he can start to receive new stuff in his life. Giving creates a vacuum in a person’s life for a better good if a farmer withholds his produce people will curse him but a blessing will be upon the head that sells it. In life there are two types of people there is some who scatters what he has by giving and increases yet more and there is someone who withholds more than is appropriate but gains poverty.

Prosperity’s the very bond of love.

Image
“Prosperity’s the very bond of love.”-William Shakespeare Someone who has a perverse heart doesn’t find prosperity therefore misfortune pursues sinners, but prosperity rewards the righteous. He who trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous shall flourish as the green leaf. Someone who is greedy stirs up strife; but one who trusts in the LORD will prosper.

When I chased after money, I never had enough.

Image
“When I chased after money, I never had enough. When I got my life on purpose and focused on giving of myself and everything that arrived into my life, then I was prosperous.”-Wayne Dyer For a person to find their purpose he has to know how he can best use his passion and skill to solve problems and achieve his goals. A person’s drive can be an indicator of their purpose since a drive is like a force trying push you where your passion is and when a person has a drive he can’t wait for the alarm clock to wake him up but he wake early intentionally because he wants to achieve something worthwhile. Focus goes where energy is set therefore if a person loves what he does he will be enthusiatic and energetic ready to always work on it since it gives him a drive. Furhermore this will require a person to sacrifice his time money and resources because he is willing to share what he has to help other people by solving their problems and this sets up a person to be exceptional and also be

The strongest single factor in prosperity consciousness is self-esteem.

Image
“The strongest single factor in prosperity consciousness is self-esteem: believing you deserve it, believing you will get it.”-Jerry Gillies Negative thoughts are inevitable to try and discourage us but we have to be kind to ourselves since if a person can talk positive things in their life it can play a major role in improving one’s self-esteem. What a person thinks of themselves determines who they are and what they tell other people what think about themselves is not really important because as a man thinks so is he. A person being authentic is a sure way of having a good mood since they are not making things up and this can help in stopping comparing achievement or goals with those of other people since they know what they personally want and need. To stay motivated someone should be willing to exercise since when a person sweat prompts the body to release endorphins, the feel-good hormones. Setting goals and building confidence in always striving to excel in your life is

Whenever you feel frustrated, welcome it. You’re about to learn something.

Whenever you feel frustrated, welcome it. You’re about to learn something.-Susan Fielder When the trials of life come to discourage you and you start feeling frustrated welcome it since in this life we will have tribulations but we must be of good courage to be able overcome whatever is giving us a hard time. Every misfortune carries with it a fortune that you can’t miss. We learn through experience therefore we need to be prepared before calamity hits because it comes to kill, steal and destroy. In addition a person must be focused on where he is going because if chooses to remain in a negative attitude cause something bad has happened to him, his life will be filled with misery therefore he must choose to forget those things that lie behind and start reaching forward for those things that are ahead since sorrow may last for a night but joy comes in the morning.

Talent is God-given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.

Talent is God-given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful. -John Wooden Talents was referred to as gold coins and can be illustrated in this story  a man was going on a trip, who called his servants and turned his money over to them.   To one man he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, based on their ability. Then he went on his trip. “The one who received five talents went out at once and invested them and earned five more.   In the same way, the one who had two talents earned two more.   But the one who received one talent went off, dug a hole in the ground, and buried his master’s money. “After a long time, the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them.   The one who had received five talents came up and brought five more talents. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you gave me five talents. See, I’ve earned five more talents.’ “His master told him, ‘Well done, good and trustworthy servant! Since you’ve be

Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.

Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own. -Robert Heinlein Love is patient, love is kind, it is not envious. Love does not brag, it is not puffed up. It is not rude, it is not self-serving, it is not easily angered or resentful. It is not glad about injustice, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. It is more easier to hate than to love since we get tested each day either to abide in love or start living in hate. If someone angers you either you are going to be resentful or choose to forgive them and forgiving takes more effort since it’s not easy as it seems but if we want to live a peaceful and powerful life we have to choose to live in love. Love gives us the ability to understand people and be able to interact with each other easily therefore it is good to always love.

Positive thinking and positive attitude attracts prosperity, peace, and happiness.

Image
“Positive thinking and positive attitude attracts prosperity, peace, and happiness. It also exposes us towards the path of achievements and success.”-Anurag Prakash Ray In positive thinking, one has to observe his thoughts so as to identify problems in their life and try to mend them since a person can’t think positively while something is bothering their mind. Negative thoughts can creep on someone’s mind and cause him to start becoming stressed, tired, irritated, angry, etc, therefore, one has train himself to look for three things that are positive or more on daily basis this can be done when a person starts the day or ends the day cause it refreshes the mind and can cause some to be happy. Happiness can be brought by showing gratitude for something done for you by a friend or by just being grateful for those things money can’t buy and helping others is a good way of building a positive mindset. Having a positive mindset at all times requires someone to be cautious of who sur

What we see depends mainly on what we look for.

“What we see depends mainly on what we look for.” John Lubbock Where a person’s focus is set energy follows since it is hard to be multitasking while focusing on something and still having our intention in our minds. A person’s intentions set the guiding line on what they are looking for since if a person is looking for profanity he will overlook all the good things that are in their way just to find what they are truly longing for in the long run. Sinners long to do evil and they will try to entice other people to join them cause their feet run to evil. They hurry to shed blood but if a person gives attention to wisdom and listen to instructions he will dwell securely and will be at ease, without fear of harm.

Prosperity begins with a state of mind.

Image
“Prosperity begins with a state of mind.” Anonymous As a man thinketh in his hearts so is he, therefore, prosperity begins with a state of mind. The actions a person takes daily rights down the amount of effort a person sets toward his goal this leads directly to his state of mind. A mindset can be termed as a fixed set of mind and we usually get what we focus our mind mostly on since what we focus on expands. A prosperity mindset demands a person to be positive, grateful and optimistic since it requires a person to have positive energy to attract wealth.

Good advice.

Image
Good friend, follow your father’s good advice; don’t wander off from your mother’s teachings. Wrap yourself in them from head to foot; wear them like a scarf around your neck. Wherever you walk, they’ll guide you; whenever you rest, they’ll guard you; when you wake up, they’ll tell you what’s next. For sound advice is a beacon, good teaching is a light, moral discipline is a life path. They’ll protect you from wanton women, from the seductive talk of some temptress. Don’t lustfully fantasize on her beauty, nor be taken in by her bedroom eyes. You can buy an hour with a whore for a loaf of bread, but a wanton woman may well eat you alive. Can you build a fire in your lap and not burn your pants? Can you walk barefoot on hot coals and not get blisters? It’s the same when you have sex with your neighbor’s wife: Touch her and you’ll pay for it. No excuses. Hunger is no excuse for a thief to steal; When he’s caught he has to pay it back, even if he has to put his whole house in hock. Adu

If money is your hope for independence you will never have it.

“If money is your hope for independence you will never have it. The only real security that a man will have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability.”-Henry Ford If money is a person’s hope for independence they will never have it since when a person glances at wealth, it disappears, for it makes wings for itself and flies like an eagle to the sky. The only real security a man can have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability. Knowledge will give you power, experience is the best teacher and ability will take you to high places, therefore, acquiring knowledge to do something will push you to try it out and we surely learn through experience before we become skillful in the work since a skillful person will serve before kings; they will not serve before officials of low rank.

The three enemies of personal peace.

Image
The three enemies of personal peace: 1) Regret over yesterday’s mistakes. 2) Anxiety over tomorrow’s problems. 3) Ingratitude for today’s blessings. -William Ward A person should live a progressive life by forgetting those mistakes he has made in the past and move forward to the goal he wants to achieve. A lot of people get caught up in a loop by regretting yesterday’s mistakes therefore a person should try to disassociate himself away from the past and acknowledge that he messed up and choose to move forward by accepting the past as it is to be able correct himself if it’s required. A person cannot control what he is anxious about therefore anxiety is a distraction. Can a person add a cubit to his hight by being anxious? The answer is definitely not so if a person is anxious he his just wearing his mind therefore leading him not to have a piece of mind. In conclusion we have to be thankful for what we have in life cause truly it is a blessing. If you were to be left tomorro
