To find a definition of prosperity we will first look at what the standard dictionary definition say. Then we will begin the journey to each having our own personal definition.
These are some of the basic dictionary phrases used to define prosperity:
1) Financial well-being
2) Affluence
3) The condition of being successful
4) Good fortune
5) Prosperous circumstances
6) Having wealth
7) The condition of being prosperous
I really love the definition; the state of being prosperous. The quest for a deeper understanding requires us to examine the definition of prosperous.
The dictionary phrases for prosperous are:
1) Having financial success
2) Flourishing
3) To be fortunate
4) Thriving
5) Advancing in the pursuit of anything desirable
6) Conducive to success
Starting with this richness of words we will create a more vivid definition of prosperity. The more vivid a definition of prosperity you can hold in your head, the easier it will be to build the prosperity that you seek.
The first thing most people think of when considering the concept of prosperity is money. A lot of money with which to fulfill their dreams and passions.
Prosperity is considered to be having enough money to live a good life without scarcity. The word prosperity is often used by economists to describe a period of time of a rapidly growing economy with low unemployment. That doesn’t sound too much like today but you can still learn to create personal prosperity.
Many people believe that prosperity also has a health component. In fact it is very difficult to separate the concept of good health from personal prosperity.
A third prosperity gauge is having peace of mind. Low stress and a happy life is usually the goal that people have in mind when they are thinking about having wealth.
I personally believe that the true definition of prosperity includes money, health and state of mind.
All around well-being.
If you possess good health and peace of mind, you don’t usually worry so much about money.
Having money can help with peace of mind. When all the bills are paid and you have extra funds for fun and savings, there is less stress.
Less stress helps lead to a long and happy life.
I will be doing my best to make wholistic prosperity real for you in future posts. The more people who experience personal prosperity, the sooner we can get the economy back on track to have prosperity for all. Meanwhile, continue to define prosperity for yourself.
More on this subject as we move forward.
Here is to your evolving prosperousness!
