The 4th Annual “Play Your Way to Prosperity” Experiment officially begins today!
It’s time to prove to yourself – once and for all – that you have the ability to generate more prosperity in your life.
This event, sponsored by http://www.choosingprosperity.com will feature 30 days of activities, events and surprises designed to help you “lighten up” and become more magnetic to prosperity in all forms.
Together we’re going to commit to shifting our individual energies and then we’re going to track our collective prosperity evidence and evaluate the results.
If you’re ready, let’s get started…
‘Play Your Way to Prosperity’ Kickoff – September 15th
Your “Inspired Actions” for the Week of September 15th:
I. Register in the Experimental Database
II. Begin your Daily Prosperity Habit
III. Prosperity Assignment: Day 1
I. The Experimental Database
It’s not an experiment if we don’t have data!
Staying true to an experimental model we want to accumulate and sort through objective statistical data.
So, while we won’t be collecting names or email addresses, we will want to track you, as part of the group, to legitimately document your progress over the course of the month.
Although registration in the database is not required, it will help us provide interested spectators with evidence that these processes actually work!
And, it will give us a chance to get to know what you’d like to experience this month so that we can develop the optimal month-long program featuring something for everyone.
If you have not yet completed the initial survey yourself, go to:

If you’d like to learn more about your partners in this experience,
visit: http://tinyurl.com/pg8zlvThere is raw statistical data and hundreds of personal messages.
Fascinating stuff!
II. Begin Your Daily Prosperity Habit
Let’s face it, the key to success this month lies with you.
Only you will know for certain whether or not your change in thoughts and behaviors actually leads to a positive change in your external circumstances.
That’s why we are setting this up as an experiment. We want you to have verifiable proof that when you focus your energy in a specific way, the world around you will shift.
If you want to see practical results from your month of focused energy, committing to a daily prosperity practice is key.
And, we have the perfect process for you – one that is simple, effective and, best of all, fun!
Abraham-Hicks explains how the ‘Prosperity Game’ shifts your financial ’set point’…
‘The Universe makes no distinction between the vibration you offer in response to what you are living and the vibration that you offer in response to what you are imagining, so this Prosperity Game Process is a powerful tool for shifting your vibrational point of attraction.By writing checks, using your imagination, writing the memos, focusing as you write, and feeling no resistance as you write the checks (because there will be no fear of overspending), you will achieve what is necessary in the achievement of anything: You will have made a statement of desire while you are in the state of non-resistance, or better said, in the state of allowing.
So, not only will you have the benefit of an expanded imagination, but your point of attraction will shift, and your life experience will then shift as well. Not only will your financial situation improve, but all manner of things that you have focused upon with pleasure will begin to flow into your experience.’ — Abraham-Hicks in Ask and It is Given
Whether you have played the game before or will be playing for the first time, we are confident that regular playing of the free online ‘Prosperity Game’ will enable you to shift your prosperity vibration more significantly than anything you have tried before.
So, if you are truly ready to ‘Play Your Way to Prosperity’ bookmark the game page http://www.choosingprosperity.com/game and commit to playing every day for the entire month of the experiment.
III. Prosperity Assignment: Day #1
Okay partners, we are off and running!
So, where is this momentum going to take us?
Well, that will certainly depend upon how clear a picture we have of where we want to go.
The more clarity you have about ‘what’ you want and ‘why’ you want it, the more magnetic you can become.
So, here are your questions for the day (Experiment Day #1)…
‘What is your unique, personal, definition of prosperity?’ and ‘What do you want and why do you want this?’
Spend some time today thinking about this. Don’t rush it. Let the answer emerge from within you.
Then, once you are clear about your own personal truth, share your perspective and to peruse what other’s have written here on the blog. (Note: To add your statement click on ‘comments’ above by the title of this entry.)
Let’s choose today to become open to new perspectives and new insights on the very nature of this experiment.
Remember: increase in clarity = increase in momentum.
Alchemical changes have been set in motion…
With love and light,

Prosperity to me is a knowing, a trusting, a partnership with the Universe that all is well. That I’m present to the co-creative energies of that partnership … I share (vibrationally) what I want (frequently the Universe knows more clearly before I do what that is!) and my job is to relax, trust and let it in. Prosperity is an experience that looks like this: What do I want to do right now? And with whom? And I can just do it! It can also look like what would I like to create? And then I start taking steps towards creating that, even if, on the surface, it seems impossible and requiring of tons of resources. Actually taking on some huge task or goal in the space of trusting my partnership is an experience of prosperity for me. So right now, I’m taking on the goal of becoming a Landmark Wisdom Consultant, being trained and developed to be a listening and literally disappears constraints in those around me and in the world. I don’t know what this will take or look like, but I’m surrendering to the partnership of the Universe, knowing that is my only path to achieving this outrageous vision in my life!

For me, prosperity is living in a state of gratitude and generosity. I want to achieve this state of being, which includes the confidence (trust) that there is always enough to share and that the universe will a;ways meet and support my own level of generosity and creative vision.

Prosperity, to me, is deep satisfaction with my life because I know that I have enough and that I am enough.

I have no idea whether this is the right place to add my definition of prosperity, but perhaps Elyse or someone can redirect me if otherwise. I am more of a feeling/sensation type of person (I am a musician, philosopher, naturalist). At this stage of life, I do not witness extreme amount of work as having any value for me. At the same time, I am capable physical, mentally and emotionally of putting my values aside to blindly pursue a “paper goal” if I put in truckloads of effort. That seems to not work anymore.
I picture a place where daily attention to my native state of feeling, sensation, sensuality, art, music, beauty, are given highest order. This picture always translates into a large rustic looking home (perhaps a home built of logs or river rocks and stone floor) with large windows from the back looking into a forest and a lake. This house is located not far from where I currently live.
From this house, I have an office and a studio where I can do something creative although I am not sure right now what that is. My office and studio are my space of creativity and is peaceful and very customized to my natural domain of artistic and connected to my imagination and those of my friends, family and loved ones. I have a large Boesendorfer grand piano, a Hammond B3 organ, a Triton synthesizer, several acoustic and electric guitars and recording equipment. I have been dabbling with some online businesses now and seems to have a lot of promise and these businesses will be in service to my prior mentioned values or characteristics. I write about subjects that I am close to and relate with others far and wide on similar topics. The lady of my life (who really does have a name and does exist in reality, but I will not mention her anme here) lives together with me. We have a lot of time together and a lot of time individually. We have friends and family in our house only occasionally. We travel to places like Tahiti, safari in Africa, Alaska, Europe, Australia). I can run my business from an iPhone wherever I am and not requiring a great deal of time. I am fluent in several languages (which is not really far from the truth at this present moment).
I am in great physical shape. I run or walk 4 miles per day and work out with weights 45 minutes per day. I read a lot and talk about things are very personal to her and my close friends. I have not typical days, but I do have some routines that I love: quiet hour or two in the morning over coffee and books. I play music every day. My sons have a great respect for peace and I relate at that level with them. I exhibit awareness and consciousness of myself and exude similar character in others.
I continue to be a professional musician and play music of my own composition or own arrangement. I am creating music that connects with deeper meaning for people that they may not have ever experienced before. I have friends from the music business from years ago that I continue to be very close with.
I am generous and give gifts to people that help develop them and bring them closer to their potential. I have a great sense for what others need and desire to be more of themselves. I greatly enjoy doing this and really have no reason for wanting to do this other than it being a very natural act that I have always wanted to do but did not do this extent but now have the money and time to indulge myself for them. I choose to have no enemies in my heart and expect that will play out in the big world.
I could go on, and am feeling now a new calmer experience. Perhaps not surprisingly, many of the things that I mention above are already in play in my life, I just need to exist in them more.
I look forward to others’ words and thoughts.

‘What is your unique, personal, definition of prosperity?’
Everything which is good for me comes to me naturally and with ease.
I share freely with the people around me, and my prosperity makes me even more sociable and willing to help others.
‘What do you want and why do you want this?’
I want at least €1,000,000 on the bank and a passive income stream of €5000 per month, because it will make me feel safe as I get older. It will be enough to share freely with others, and to do what I want to do. I want a house with a big garden and a pool, I near a good school for my daughter. I want to maintain the great relationship with my hubby and my daughter. I have plenty of drive and energy to help others reach their potential too, and I am leading by example in all realms of life.
Thanks for making me realize this!

Well I have not been as eloquent or as precise as the above person, but I guess what I would like amounts to a similar thing.
My personal definition of proserity is: A feeling of internal calm and trust. A balance of purpose and adventure, freedom and love. Feeling accepted and accepting and that I am living the life of my dreams.
What do I want? Wellbeing, love, friendship, family, good times, laughter, personal and financial freedom, exploration, worry-free, spiritual, comfort, adventure, purpose. and vibrant health.
And why? To feel more whole, to stop longing and fear. To engage with higher powers and enjoy my daily life as completely as possible with love and fun.
August 18, 2008 at 5:21 pm
Paula
My unique, personal, definition of prosperity is having the freedom and financial security to accomplish all of the wonderful things I want to see myself accomplish in my lifetime. It is the freedom to enjoy all of the beauty our Earth has to offer. It is the freedom to live a spiritual life in which I can reach out to others who are searching for answers – both of us learning on our way.
It is also having all of the material things that I dream about, the dream home, the family vacations, the luxury lifestyle, and as Wayne Dyer puts it, “The whole enchilada!”

I imagine my self to be debt free as that allows me to re focus my energy on to others in a much more powerful,passionate and consistent way than I am able to do right now. I have, with the help of Elyse managed to affirm every day that ” I love what I have created and I am going to love what I create next” and that is a new home for my husband and I to rent and one that can continue to be a wonderful space for both pleasure and business. I am currently devoloping a new business that can help anyone cook with joy, be nutritional and of course fun for all involved. I will focus on this over the next thrity days and look forward to a really positive outcome as I open myself up to people who will help me grow this idea into a mutually benefical business.

‘What is your unique, personal, definition of prosperity?’
Feeling abundant. Being able to do anything I desire without thinking about the cost.
Feeling so abundant I am totally uninhibited in giving generously.
Feeling grateful and appreciative for the above.
‘What do you want and why do you want this?’
I want to be imperturbable / self referral. because I know there is actually nothing I need to be in constant acceptance and peace of mind. Then I can stop looking outside to measure my self worth

describing my thoughts on prosperity always takes me back to my childhood and the attitudes my parents gave to me. for many years i thought that what i had learned at home was right and true. after being out in the world and seeing and experiencing life i realized that my parents “lack and attack” mindset was not the truth of the universe as i came to beleive. the process of changing my attitudes and leaving the old minset behind caused my life to start changing dramatically. today i can say that prosperity to me is about beleif that the divine/universe/god desires for me to be blissfully content, joyful, and expansive. for me it is about staying the course and constantly meditating on the highest best for all involved. i have been blessed with the gift of knowing what i truly desire in my life. sometimes i get discouraged thinking this will never happen, however at those moments i simply have to remind myself of 2 things. 1.-the universe is not out to get me, things that happen can be looked at as opportunities and gifts, and 2.-if the landscape aorund me doesnt look like i desire it to look i have to realize that the divine is not finsished yet, anytime you stop a process in midstream it is not going to look like the finshed product. so in conclusion i would say i beleive that prosperity is yet another word for true beleif and that the things that i desire come from my true heart and will manifest in divine time.

My view on prosperity is this…that I have the mutual love and respect from the people I care about most. That I have an abundance of money so I can do whatever I choose with enough spare to help other people too. Equally important is enjoying excellent health so I can appreciate this all.

Hello everyone. I see my personal definition of prosperity as me living in my own home, it is a wonderfull house with a second floor and basement. I have all the room I need for myself and workspace for all the things that I am involved with. I have a large work studio that has a entrance of its own. I have a laptop that I can use when I am not in my office. I have a beautiful front yard. My back yard is fenced off and has a patio for company with a garden area for my plants. I drive a lovely Jeep that you can open up and remove the top. I have no problems paying my bills on time and in full every month. I have a long list of regular clients that are pre-booked for nail services. I have orders that need to be filled comming into my website daily. I am always traveling for bussiness and for pleasure. I have also found a wonderful relationship. I have finally allowed myself to open up and recieve someone into my life after my divorce from my ex-husband.
I am so glad that I have taken charge of my life and started living all over. I live a wonderfull life that I have chosen now.

‘What is your unique, personal, definition of prosperity?’
In answering this, I’m not sure if its unique or shared by others but for me my personal definition of prosperity is having an unlimited supply of whatever I desire at the moment whether it be of time or of material matter.
‘What do you want and why do you want this?’
My answer to what I want and why are obvious, by having an unlimited supply of whatever I desire at the moment will enable me to be a blessing, or a conduit of blessing to another living soul and bring peace.

My unique, personal, definition of prosperity is experiencing riches in all aspects of my life. That means to me a loving, committed relationship with a man who is my partner spiritually/emotionally/physically. We support one another in being the best we can be, making a positive impact on this planet doing so. We have lots of fun, and spread joy wherever we go. We like to travel throughout the world, staying in nice places, enjoying great experiences together and apart. We have great family vacations yearly, and all the grandchildren, children and we play and laugh together each time- they are memorable!
We share two homes, a beautiful place in the woods within walking distance of the falls, where deer and rabbits rest and play on the lawn, and our other home with the incredible ocean view. Sometimes I go to the mountain home by myself as a restful retreat, sometimes he does, sometimes we’re together.
Money flows easily and effortlessly to me, and I share it with others as easily. I am fulfilling my dream of creating waterwells in African villages, teaching the residents how to maintain them so they have clean drinking water. My bank accounts are each 6 figures, the more I give, the more I receive, so the more I have to give!
I love my work, and work because I love it, not because I have to. Clients come to me via word of mouth, I don’t advertise. I feel blessed to be fulfilling my purpose on this earth, helping others reawaken to their incredible magnificence, experiencing joy in their lives.
I have more vitality now than I did when I was 30! Wow, it is fabulous!!! I get younger each day- people are always surprised when I tell them my age! My health is the best it’s ever been, I’m at my ideal weight and unstoppable! It is so much fun to be this flexible again- my joints are so limber! Thank you Godde!!!
I am very much involved in peace projects. Creating peace within myself was the catalyst to give me more energy to share with others. I am so blessed! I know there will be peace on this planet in my lifetime, and for that I give thanks.

My definition of prosperity is a state in which I am in complete control of how I spend my time and I have the financial resources to support my decisions. I want work that is really play. I want to wake up in the morning and think, “Wow, look what I get to do today!” I want to go to sleep at night still smiling. I have existed far too long in fear and perceived lack, and I am ready to thrive in joy and all manner of abundance.

Prosperity for me is having all the money and resources I need to do and give as much as I desire, in order to experience increased contentment.
August 18, 2008 at 6:22 pm

Prosperity to me is being well-rewarded for doing work that impassions and inspires me. To continue having a loving, supportive relationship with my husband and children. To be strong, healthy, compassionate and wise. To awaken when I’m finished sleeping, to work when I feel like working and play when I feel like playing. To easily pay my bills off in full each month with more than enough left over to play, take my family on exotic trips, and have the “goodies” that make the journey more fun-a beautiful new home on the lake, a brand new Buick Lucerne CXS for my husband, a navyblue Lexus 400h for me, time to pursue volunteer activities and the time and money to creat abundance in the world.

Prosperity to me is I never worry about money, I have a lot of of a lot of money to spend for anything I desire. Prosperity is Financial Freedom
August 18, 2008 at 6:42 pm

Prosperity, for me, is the complete free-flowing of energy: Financial, personal, creative, spiritual, sexual – unhindered by worry of any kind, unfettered of overwhelming obligations, unshackled from a lifetime of disbelief.
Prosperity is having the power to make anything thought of and desired real and absolute, without hesitation or hindrance/ Everything is paid for, everything is accounted for, everything is appreciated and blessed. There are no failures, there are no wrongs. The universe flows freely through me, and from me back out into the world, and back to the universe… one constant, flowing energetic loop of prosperity.

Prosperity for me is being fulfilled at whatever I choose to be, have or do. This also includes being able to identify prosperity when it doesn’t look exactly how I thought it would! Prosperity goes hand in hand with abundance, and the feeling of infinity in the Universe and the knowing that there is enough for all. Prosperity also means letting go of guilt for possessing something that others don’t possess.
What do I want? I want what I already Am to continue to strengthen, as I become stronger as a person, and know myself more and more. I am also creating new experiences with myself, with new people, these experiences lead to travel to places I have never been before (Brazil, Panama, Egypt) and the means to realize my dreams flows to me easily.
I am also open to finding an ideal spiritual partner. Someone who is interested in metaphysics, and the healing arts. Someone who I can share a mutual respect with.
As for my work, I would like to further implement all of the teachings that I have picked up over the years, and merge them with my passion for ecology, and social justice.
In this moment these are my main focus, and I would like to have the patience to see all of these things in the correct time, however I don’t want to use that as an excuse to not manifest them now!

Prosperity to me encompasses every aspect of my being. It is a sense of knowing that “all is well,” and includes wellness on an emotional, spiritual, physical/non-physical and financial level.
When I observe the beauty of the planet we share, it is ever clear to me that abundance is our birthright. It is what we deserve: An abundance of love. An abundance of social connections and companions. An abundance of peace. An abundance of healthy foods and resulting excellent physical health. An abundance of spiritual enlightenment. The list is endless and is clearly ours for the taking.
I love life! I want true abundance for myself and my circle of love. My reason for joining this experiment is to remind myself of my true birthright. To find my way “home” after so many years of wandering. I know that by giving joyfully, my birthright of abundance will radiate in brilliance from deep within my spirit and become a perpetual model for whoever crosses my path. It is time to write a new story…

What is your unique, personal, definition of prosperity?’
Prosperity, for me, is an inner glow that starts in my heart and radiates outward in a big smile. It’s like being in the eye of the storm: all sorts of things can be happening around me, but I’m feeling a warm glow of well being. It’s kindness, warmth, love extended to myself and others – riches of all sorts then naturally flow.
‘What do you want and why do you want this?’
I want to continue on my journey of prosperous living – living with kindness, warmth and love. Wonderful things are continuously flowing into my life and now I’d like to allow bigger things into my life. I want to increase the fun in my life. I want a Harley Sportster 883L Low Rider motorbike. I love the feel of being out on the open road, cruising in the sun, smelling the grass, the smoke from chimneys, seeing things outside of the box, all those things you don’t experience when you are driving in a car. I love the experience of riding with a group of other bikers in a leisurely, relaxed feeling of goodwill. Getting a harley is a symbol (and a joyful experience) of creating a life that I love.

What is your unique, personal, definition of prosperity?’ and ‘What do you want and why do you want this?’
To me prosperity means a sense of peace…a connection to Source with an attitude of gratitude for all that I have. It is the outer manifestation of health, wholeness, family, friends, community, love, joy, harmony, right action, money and Divine Guidance. It is being present to the impressioned splendor that this life has to offer.

Prosperity to me is living a frugal life with gratitude for the abundance available but not used. Having the excess in order to help others to meet basic life needs and security. To find peace, joy and serenity INSIDE MYSELF so that I can connect with others of the same vibrational level is a prosperity that I intend to acheive and live.

My personal definition of prosperity is my ability to get up each morning and choose, along with my family, exactly what we want to do today. We are abundant in time, energy, health and financial resources as we follow our dreams and fulfill our wishes. We travel whenever we want and have comfortable and pleasing homes to stay at the beach, in San Francisco, in Michigan, and all the places on the list of wonderful locales we want to visit. Our home is Tucson is beautiful and has the space that each person needs to fulfill their wants and desires. We have great joy and love among us as we share our abundance with those around us and do good things for ourselves and others.

To me prosperity is to know that I have whatever it is that I want or need, whenever I want or need it. It is to feel abundant, whole, happy.
What I want is to recognize all the abundance that surrounds me, i want to fill my now with joy and love, being present, not being held back by the past nor thinking about the future.

Prosperity is the whole package. It is having emotional and physical health. It is having the type of wealth that provides total freedom to do as I wish each day of my life. Prosperity is having loving relationships in my life. Prosperity is having a healthy spiritual relationship with my God and all the help spirit provides to me.
I want to hear and see the Angels. I want to be healthy in body, mind, spirit.
I want to cross over with great ease when my life is complete.
I want to enjoy my husband, my children, my life each day.
I want to chose my activities accordint to fun and joy each day.
I want peace in my world, in my life and in my home.
When I have all of these things, I live life joyfully. I help so many people and find great joy in providing this help. I feel as if I am floating through life with such ease and acceptance. I love life.

to me personally, it is about living what is RIGHT for ME. not someone else’s idea about what i should be doing. To be guided by divine intelligence to know and experience my right and natural partner or mate in this life, and to know and experience the right vehicle to express my artistic talents and abilities, the god given ones and the learned ones.
this would be the culmination of my highest hopes and fulfillment.
alot can happen in month…:-)

My definition of prosperity is living a joyful life, in a healthy body, with deliciously loving relationships, freedom to do the things I want to do when I want, interesting work with interesting people, all the money I can spend when ever I want to spend it and some to spare.
I want to inspire and uplift others so I can feel as if I have made a contribution to the betterment of the world/or at least have been a role model for others on how to live a happy, prosperous and joyful life. I want to experience fine living that is filled with good friends/family, travel to wonderful places in the finest of style, sailing in style, living on the waterfront in a beautiful, comfortable, safe and sound home, work that is satisfying and interesting and a breathable schedule to live life fully with those I love.
I want to have lived life fully before I die and have no regrets!

Prosperity for me, is a feeling of inner richness. It is there no matter what.
‘What do you want and why do you want this?’
To naturally and consistently come from prosperity. I want this to be the way that I live each and every moment. It is the very essence of who I am. It is not conditional on outer circumstances, factors or people. Prosperity permeates my beingness.
August 18, 2008 at 7:42 pm
Craig
What is my unique definition of prosperity?
To always have plenty. Plenty of money, plenty of love, plenty of food, plenty of time to spend with my family, plenty of everything. To see something I desire and buy it straight away and know that there is always plenty of money to pay for everything else.
To live a life where everyday is Saturday, where I decide how I live and there isn’t some place I have to be by a certain time and do certain things just so I can pay my bills. To be doing something for a living that I enjoy and will give more life to others as well as myself.
To be able to do anything that will allow me to develop in mind, body and soul and be the best person i can be

Prosperity to me includes an abundance of love, freedom (personal and financial), and time to experience love, relationships and life in a positive, peaceful, joyful way. It is about being true to myself and having the courage to explore outside my comfort zone, challenge myself and enjoy each moment. Being mindful and present. Prosperity to me includes spreading peace and joy to others every day in multiple ways.
Why? Because I want to grow and discover with freedom, to love passionately and to be loved passionately, to help others discover and explore their journey.

My unique, personal, definition of prosperity is to become fulfilled beyone any limitations and to become a source of happiness and well being for every one with whom I come into contact.
‘What I want is to enter into a space of effortless allowing and to celebrate the incredible energy that flows through me and with me for all those around me. I want this as the means to become the channel for awakening and happiness for anyone who is ready to accept it.

Prosperity to me is first giving Praise, Honor and Glory to the Creator. HE wants us to Prosper and be in good Health!! If we can focus on Him without distractions, that alone is Prosperity. If we put HIM first all other things will follow. Prosperity is the ability to Love and Forgive. If we can handle these everything will fall in place.
Prosperity is being able to put others first, help those who are less fortunate.Be happy always, thinking positively letting this flow outward and
and be infectious so that others will follow.

Prosperity is waking up every day feeling alive and excited, having the people I love close by, being able to buy whatever I want, give money to whomever I choose, to live wherever I love to be, to be creatively inspired always, to see the magic and synchronicity everywhere I look, to travel to wonderful exotic destinations whenever I choose, to feel deliciously alive and sensual in my healthy body, to move through any fear that shows up with trust and experience, to have a community of like-minded people available at all times, to be respected in my work and life, having a rich loving committed intimate relationship with a man who is my partner and my equal, to have moment to moment conscious contact with the God of my understanding, and so on……..

My view on prosperity is this…That I have an abundance of money so I can do whatever I choose with enough spare to help other people too.
That I have the love and respect from people I care about most the same as I give them.Enjoying excellent health so I can appreciate this all.

The Prosperity I create this month is a sense of peace, satisfaction & delight with my magic work, with the material I perform and the increased skill level i acheive. Prosperity is new working original ideas, delight in rehearsal, great fun and satisfaction with my work and with the success & audience’s delight at the gigs I perform at resulting in many repeat bookings. I also focus on completely healing my sports injuries so that I can joyfully train again and enjoy my slimline healthy body. I continue to earn well and enjoy the new costumes I have. My work towards the wonderful new act ready for December simply flies along and brings me great satisfaction. I create really fantastic new props with ease. My relationship with John deepens into something even better & delightful.

My definition of prosperity is: Prosperity is enjoying what you have now. And knowing that it is your birthright to create whatever you wish to have in the future.
I want financial freedom to be able to travel, take amazing pictures, be creative with my work and touch the lives of other.

To me prosperity is a state of soul. In knowing I am connected with the Universal One and because of it I have access to peace, love, health, positive friends and relationships, happiness and money. The whole kit and kaboodle! Knowing that EVERYTHING I need is there to be manifested as long as I remain positive, grateful, forgiving and believe all things are available to me.
Why? So that others may see what I’m experiencing and want the same for their lives and one by one the world may soon have less and less lack and more and more peace and satisfaction.

My idea of prosperity is to live life to its fullest enjoying each and every moment no matter where I am, who I am with or what I am doing. I want to spend my time inspiring others to enjoy themselves and to see the good things that surround us all.

Prosperity, to me, is a concrete non-physical place. No matter what I am doing or feeling or being, whatever needs and desires I have, will easily flow to me, on a material, physical, emotional, and spiritual level; – or just give my mind something to play and have fun with! Peace is the ultimate state of prosperity…
August 18, 2008 at 8:29 pm
Kjersti
What do you want and why do you want this?’
My Mind game:
Hehehe… it is to manifest two wonderful, deep blue sofas that fits perfectly in our home; something that has defied me in two years. But no more! I would love to see that I can actually do it! – easily and effortlessly and at no monetary cost.
My Spiritual Game:
My ultimate goal is to open up to my creative imagination and get my inner message, whatever that might be, out to my fellow beings. In a blog, a book, in pictures, through music … whatever form … I desire to be the channel I know I am, and jump right into it and begin!! Do it — Finding my own rhythm in my daily life, while I am creating who I am through my works of art.
My Personal Physical game:
I desire to obtain optimal health and be best buddy with my physical frame; living this life together as funloving partners!

Prospertiy to me means being in the flow of life where I am always taken are of. Everything I need and everything I want always flow easily to me. And everything I have to offer the world flows out of me.
I want love, joy and happiness in my life. If I have those things then I’m in the flow of the universe fulfilling my purpose and being blessed.

Prosperity is wanting what I have, knowing what I need is always there, and fulfilling my dreams

Prosperity for me is being in alignment with my Core Identity, which is Source, or All that is. When I am in alignment with Source, all things I consider good, abundant, beautiful, well, magnificent, amazing… ARE in my experience. It’s like walking through a garden full of sweet ripened fruit. All I have to do is choosing what I want, and then, allowing those sweet fruits to fall into my life. I am able to allow this to happen, when I am in alignment. What I want is to be fully aware of my ability to bring myself into alignment from wherever I am, and from whatever is going on in my life. Seeing life like an adventurous journey and enjoying every moment of it, I invite the natural “side effects” of alignment with a heart full of gratitude.
August 18, 2008 at 10:08 pm

Prosperity is living each day knowing that anything I desire is possible. It is waking up each day filled with immeasurable joy, peace, excitement and happy expectancy. It is appreciating all the wonders of life: children, family, friends, pets, nature, etc while knowing that I can be, do, have or share anything I want. It is enjoying and cherishing each moment for the miracle that it is!

What is your unique, personal definition of prosperity?
Freedom. Knowing I have the ability to do as I please. Abundance. To own my own home. Financial freedom. Having more than enough money at the end of the month…instead of the other way around. Family and friends. There would truly be no joy without them.
What do you want and why do you want this?
To receive $8,000,000 or more. A passive income of at least $40,000 per month. To see the world. The ability to help out those closest to me and some who are not so close but could use a hand. To spend the last forty years of my life enjoying everything life has to offer. Happiness, smiles and good health, especially for my children and granddaughter. Continued love and joy with my partner. To quit my J-O-B because I no longer require it.
August 18, 2008 at 10:55 pm

My personal definition of prosperity is having a steady flow of money and other resources to enhance my already joyful existence!
August 18, 2008 at 11:11 pm
Hilary
What is your unique, personal definition of prosperity?
Financial Freedom. To have basic needs met so that this no longer sucks away my energy away from doing my heart work. To have a surplus to work with, rather than just making it to the end of the month! Prosperous in all of my relationships – meaning that they are based on authenticity, they are clean and clear. That I am surrounded by people who love and appreciate me and themselves.
That I have more freedom of time so that I might spend more time creating what I want to create in the world (heart work).
What do you want and why do you want this?
To build a freehold home on 5 acres of land within 30 mins of city and create a wonderful creative beautiful enviroment for myself and my family to blossom in that meets ALL of our needs. $10million in an account just for me with which I can help all the people in my life who are struggling so that they too may be freeer than they are now. To create a non-profit educational trust and start my work in educating about attachment through the lifespan. Reignite the magazine project. I want to make a difference in the lives of those I love, and beyond that a difference in the lives of millions of children and their parents.
August 18, 2008 at 11:42 pm
Bruce
My definition of prosperity is to have freedom of choice. To choose my attitude, my experiences and things I want in my life. And when I make my choices I have no limits placed on me or by me. I can follow my desires and intuition wherever it takes me.
What I want is to have the time of my life! To feel connected, loved, appreciated and grateful for this wonderful life I am living. Oh yeah… and I want to laugh often and laugh out loud!!
August 18, 2008 at 11:58 pm
Steph
Prosperity to me is the personal freedom and security to say and feel, “I am enough and I have enough”. Enough = love, time, money and health to freely give and/or receive in every moment with no hesitation.
What do I want and why do I want it?
I want my spirit to feel free to love openly in every moment and my heart to openly give and receive love as well. I want to align myself vibrationally to receive all the blessings this world has to offer and share that with my friends and family.
August 19, 2008 at 12:01 am

Prosperity to me is the state of having good fortune or of having successfully manifested or achieved anything that is desired, wanted, aspired to, hoped for, or needed. It could be, for example, the gaining of financial wealth, of fame, of love, of happiness and joy, of health, of success at any undertaking, of power, of material possessions, of resources, and so forth.
I want the knowing that I am properous–the knowing that anything I desire, want, aspired to, hope for, or need can be or already is manifested.
With this knowing, I will free me from worry, concerns, fear, doubt, stress, or any other negative emotions, feelings, and ill health that can be created.
August 19, 2008 at 12:05 am
Leah
What is your unique, personal definition of prosperity?
Prosperity is a state of thriving in every area of my life, especially in finances.
What do I want?
To be making $75K a month consistently.
Why?
To live affluently, to retire my parents by buying their house and setting up a trust for them, to send my neice to a special school, to buy a house on the beach, to travel the world, to donate to all the causes I want to help, to set-up a scholarship, to buy the items on my “Desire List”, to treat friends to dinner, to take friends to spas, to invest in businesses, etc.

My personal definition of prosperity is the deliciousness of being in the flow. Of doing work I love and being well compensated for it. Of having the time, energy, health, fun and laughter to be in the moment with my family. Of having the financial abundance to create beauty in my home, in my garden, in the environment around me. Being able to make choices based on the heart, the joy, the fun, rather than the pocket book. Prosperity is, for me, about fun. About laughter. About joy and family and time together to celebrate the deliciousness of life. I’m doing pretty well in this prosperity concept, and I’m looking forward to being even more in the flow, even more in the joys of abundance and creativity.
August 19, 2008 at 12:45 am
Lori
I have much abundance in my life right now. I own my own home that I can easily pay for, a car, beautiful things. I have good relationships with my family and friends and coworkers. I have a decent paying job that I like. I was blessed with a mind that is open and thoughtful, and a good heart. But there’s always more, right? It’s never ending and always changing. I have given up on the idea that I have to work hard for my money, which of course, is what I was taught and what I am doing right now. I am doing a 180* on the career thing. I like what I do but it’s not my passion. I am heading towards my passion, I am heading towards a beautiful horse farm, that I own, where I have Friesian horses, black standard curly poodles and peacocks. About a hundred or so acres would be good. A modest beautiful house with enough room for friends and family to visit as often as they want. Money flowing in and out freely. Wonderful happy people that I can employ and pay generously. A Beautiful plentiful vegetable garden. A few cows, chickens.
Why? For the joy of it.
August 19, 2008 at 12:48 am

Prosperity?
Personal fulfillment. Enjoying every moment of my life and trusting universe that this is the best for me (even at the rough times). To be free to express myself and open my heart to love and be loved freely. Have freedom of choice.
Why do I want it?
By being free I will have inner peace, love and beloved and enjoy my life the fullest, and be able to help others to define and live their definition of prosperity.
August 19, 2008 at 1:19 am
Kathy Sherwood
To me, prosperity is having all you need to reach your goals…energy, money, time…and the understanding that as each goal is reached there still remains an infinite supply to create and reach for new goals.
In recent years I’ve been experiencing prosperity on a regular basis in regards to being able to afford what I want in my life, and am thankful for it. The money always seems to come from somewhere! What I want to achieve this month is abundant energy and time to enjoy what life has to offer, and enough excess money to give freely to others.
August 19, 2008 at 1:27 am

Prosperity is a state of being, in which happiness and goodness abound.
Prosperity is as much a mental state as having or doing.
I want to be prosperous for my own life, as well as having to give to others.
August 19, 2008 at 1:32 am
Natasha
Prosperity for me = an overflowing abundance of resource, perpetual wealth, and fulfilled desires in every area of my life (tangible and intangible). Unlimited and ongoing access to resources so that my needs and desires are unquestionably met, and that I have excess to share my good with others as I so choose.
What I want and I why I want it = I want realization of unlimited abundant resource and perpetual wealth, so that I might continue and expand the level at which I already do what I do (without giving thought to ‘money’ or ‘the “B” word’ hahaha). I want to own a large home that is shared with my children (who I want to adopt sooner rather than later) and be financially freed up to do creative activities (intellectually creative and craft material-like creative). I want to travel and see ‘the world’ freely creating a satisfying and fun schedule as I go. I want to ‘gift’ my mom with resources to indulge herself and live on her own terms without questioning ‘how much’. I want to share and show others ‘a way’ so that they can experience ‘the good’ and ‘freedom’ as they understand and desire it. Why I want all I want can be summed up in brief: These ‘wants’ are a part of how I perceive ‘the good’ in and for my life.

I wish for warmth and not having to go cold for one more winter. I ask the universe for a full tank of oil all winter, a fixed roof that does not leak, and a car that keeps running. I would like the toilet to stop running…since 2002.
Being able to give my teenage daughter a nice dress or pair of shoes when she needs some new things.
I ask not to starve or go hungry. I would like to Have fresh fruits and vegetables on the table all year long.
Being able to go to sleep at night knowing that I paid all the bills on time and that there will be something in a retirement fund for the senior years. I am 58 and I have no savings, nothing coming in except $137.62 a week for a work disability.
I ask the universe to provide me with $5,000 a week for the rest of my life. I am so tired and I don’t want to work for this money. I want to create programs for children, teach literacy, and join the Peace Corp. in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

Prosperity- What is it to me? One word describes prosperity best. Freedom.
I want prosperity in my life to be free- to do whatever I want, whenever I want, and to be able to travel and live wherever I want. I want to live in total abundance. Having more than enough, with plenty left to share with others. To be free of any lack in my life, and to be free to live a joyful and blessed life.
August 19, 2008 at 2:21 am
Diane
One way I see prosperity is having time and money – an abundance of both! – at the same time! Having these allows me to explore all that I desire, and share all of it with people I love and am blessed to have in my life. It is about unlimited opportunities to be in the flow, make others feel special and appreciative, overflowing my cup with the joys in life that make me feel special and appreciated! I believe prosperity includes being surrounded by people I love, and beauty in all forms! I believe it is about abundance on all levels = radiant health, relationships, simple and wonderful luxuries, and the perfect spaces, places, and moments to experience outrageous joy around all of the above!
August 19, 2008 at 2:34 am

‘What is your unique, personal, definition of prosperity?’
Prosperity to me is constantly being able to rejuvenating myself and those around me by an abundant buoyancy of spirit. Being abundant fiscally is also a blessing to share.
‘What do you want and why do you want this?’
I want to be able to receive the abundance of my spirit’s potential, and with this awareness live in a state of abundance that makes money not a concern, to accept that it’s there for all tasks and plans and hopes…in whatever amount, whenever. And I want to become more able to accept the abundant gifts of love from others.
And why…
Folks who know me well have heard me talking of my waking ‘dream life’ for years. It has defined prosperity for me thus far in my journey. It is the way I have overcome fear, worry and pessimism in all the areas of my life, and replaced them with hope, both publicly and privately.
Yet the footing of my living dreams manifestations have been revealed on occasion, as having a foundation of hope manifesting, not knowledge manifesting. I’m looking forward to having a foundation of assurance.
August 19, 2008 at 2:41 am
Kelly
Hello all! So excited to participate in this experiment! I already am experiencing many forms of prosperity and I am grateful. However, complete prosperity for me is FINANCIAL FREEDOM! This will allow me to spend my time and money exactly how I want to, without any limits. Making decisions based on desire and not price tags. Having and doing whatever I want, whenever I want! And being able to give generously…without fear or worry of not having enough. Living each day with absolute conviction that the Universe is abundant and that there is more than enough for everyone, so there is no need to feel guilty for what I’m experiencing and receiving. This will enable me to experience life as it’s meant to be…rich, full, joyous, peaceful, loving. And I want to help others do the same, as they see my success!
August 19, 2008 at 3:00 am
Gail Gailer
My definition of prosperity: Having the resources to do all the things I want to do, have all the things I want to have, and give all that I want to give.
What I want, and why:
What’s most important to me is to live in full connection with my inner being, so I can live in a state of joy, love, and peace, and fully and freely express my true self.
On a physical level, some things I want are:
To live in beautiful, harmonious, comfortable, safe surroundings that I love
- so I can easily feel enjoyment from my surroundings, comfort, and contentment
To have my surroundings cared for by competent, trustworthy, reliable, skilled professionals who are a pleasure to deal with, who understand and are able and happy to fulfill my needs and desires re. the house and grounds.
- so I can spend my time doing the things I most love to do and am competent to do, and can enjoy the results of the professionals, and give them the opportunity to do what they love to do.
Opportunities to expand my knowledge of cooking and baking, all the tools & reference materials I need to prepare the things I want to prepare, expert support, and time to play with this hobby.
- so I can enjoy learning and growing and working with food; have and share with others home-made, delicious, healthy food that works for my diet.
Resources that enable me to give to people and organizations whenever I am moved to do so, to the level that I am satisfied with.
- so I can contribute to well-being for people, animals, the environment
- so I can enjoy the freedom to give as much as I want, after all the years of frustration of not being at peace with what I have given.

Brunette
To me, prosperity is freedom. Freedom to live the life of my dreams. To experience the highs and lows without worry or fear, knowing that all is well and I am always safe.
Like Lori, I dream about being surrounded by nature. The first five years of my life were spent mainly with my grandmother in a remote village on a mountain-side in Trinidad. The breathtaking views, the rich rain forest vegetation, the springs that supplied our water, the variety of fruits, eating mainly what came from the ground or a tree, the moonlit nights…. oh, I could go on and on. That is where I am transported to from my apartment here in New York City. That is what I want again. It is no longer available there but it is somewhere out here.
Why? The peace, the joy, the connection to nature, the ‘aliveness’ of it. I could smell it, I could taste it, I could feel it in my bones…. in every fiber of my being. I just need to get all the garbage out of the way and accept it.
August 19, 2008 at 3:14 am

Prosperity is being in this world, while also walking in the plane of positive vibrational harmony. Attuned to the flow, I am the universe.
August 19, 2008 at 3:32 am
Jill
My unique and personal definition of prosperity is to know that I am very much in harmony with the universe. That I can relax and know that whatever it is that I want will be there when I want or need. I will choose what I would like to do or have based on weather I want it. Because I can afford it! I want to have peace of mind knowing that I will always pay my bills on time, and have plenty to do the things that I would like to do. I will also be able to be generous with others. I will be able to do special things for those that need or want.
I will live happily in a very healthy and fit body. I will wear the cloths that make me feel and look great.
I want to draw a very special person in to my life. Someone that I am in perfect harmony with. someone that appreciates my special qualities as I do his.
We will focus on the things we like most about eachother, and laugh alot together. We can do whatever we want because we can afford it. I want this because it makes me feel at peace. No worries.

Terry Nicholetti
Prosperity means enjoying PLENTY of time, money, energy, and love. Always knowing that I have more than enough to “spare, care, and share.”
I want this so that I can be truly free to follow my heart. I’ve spent so much of my life feeling stifled, cramped, restricted, and deprived. I want be able to make choices not based on “do I have enough money” but do I feel really called to do this – all the way from taking a trip to the beach, to buying a $500 ticket to a gala to support a cause I love, to purchasing higher end art from local artists to helping my granddaughters education, and never having to worry that something might “go wrong” and I won’t have the resources to fix it. (roof, mom’s bridge work etc.) And mostly, to completely trust that it comes from the inside out.
August 19, 2008 at 3:45 am

Prosperity is having an infectious, genuine smile.
August 19, 2008 at 3:53 am
Caroline
Prosperity for me is a feeling of blooming freely, being as extravagant as a peony in full blossom, knowing that I am just fine as I am. It is a feeling of relief and amazement to find that my joy is coming from within, and then to see all the other flowers in their variety unfurling, waving. Like what took you so long!
It is sweet to have finally come home to this knowing that I am part of the whole, and I can experience my dreams coming true.
I would love to go on a cruise with my family, and wink at the dolphins, laugh at the conundrum of what activity to choose next!, savor dessert at midnight, walk the decks as the sun is rising, and marvel at the vast, efficient, benevolent staff on the ship and Universe that made this all possible!
August 19, 2008 at 3:56 am

Prosperity is the ability to walk through life with choices free from stress, worry, despair, depression, fear, hatred, jealousy, rage, anger, pity, apathy, distrust and pain.
I want to embrace this definition of prosperity so that it coarses through my veins intertwined with my blood. I want to breathe this definition of prosperity as I take in each breath of life. I want to wrap my body and soul in this definition of prosperity as I would take refuge in a king size comforter on the coldest winter night.
I choose to walk through my life with this definition of prosperity as my constant companion, taking responsibility for my life’s journey watching the stress, worry, despair, depression, fear, hatred, jealousy, rage, anger, pity, apathy, distrust and pain float away into the atmosphere.
August 19, 2008 at 4:01 am

To me prosperity is living in a continuous state of JOY grounded in the knowledge that I choose to allow well-being to flow through me at all times. In this state I realize only GOOD happens and I feel fully alive, revelling in the beauty & wonder of each moment of this human journey.

Prosperity, to me, is a sense of fullness, satisfaction, happiness, helpfulness.
Today, I have embarked on a totally new challenge that will take my life in new directions. On the journey between now and November 4th, there will be many short one day trips that will shape the event on November 4th. On November 4th, the road will fork and a totally new journey will begin. Prosperity will play an important role in both the immediate daily trips and then the long term journey at the fork. It will be interesting to see how prosperity plays into the day-to-day events and which fork I will take.
August 19, 2008 at 4:14 am
Jenifer
When I thought about what my unique, personal definition of prosperity was I pictured beautiful flowers everywhere. I then felt that prosperity would be not wanting. Prosperity would be the ability to give. Prosperity would be energy.
I would like people to be inspired by me. I would like people to communicate without feeling ashamed, embarrassed, scared, uncertain or vain. I would like to lead people just by being myself. I want people to be kind and healthy to themselves, others and their environment.
I want this because I feel it is my purpose.
Thank you. I love you.
August 19, 2008 at 4:20 am
Chantal
What is your unique, personal, definition of prosperity?
Abundant life, as Jesus referred to. Life is energy. Abundant life is a feeling of aliveness and love. It is all things we desire that expand us and increase our joy.
What do you want and why do you want this?
I want to feel free, flowing, joyous, powerful, loving, appreciative, and beautiful. Why? Because I deserve to and because my feeling good is the greatest gift I can give to my family, friends and All That Is. I choose prosperity! I choose to be an open channel for God’s love and light.
August 19, 2008 at 4:31 am
Kirsten Nicholson
Prosperity to me is knowing that I can create whatever it is I need to complete my life purpose.
To feel satisfied internally with a sense of peace.
To be debt free and live a life never being concerned about money again. To have deep and meaningful relationships.
To live in a way that is giving and receiving in a flowing way.
To be able to beautify my home with exactly “that” piece to creat my sanctuary.
To travel, travel and more travel………………………..

Prosperity to me is doing what I want to do when I want to do it with whom I want to do it.
August 19, 2008 at 5:04 am
Andrea
Prosperity is joy and fun and love in all of its energetic forms! Financial abundance…creative expression…the joy of contributing…the delight of being surrounded by loving beings and celebrating meaningful partnership…It is freedom to live fully, it releases that which causes limitation and struggle, and embraces that which leads us to our highest good – joy and love in all of its manifestations.
What I want: Complete financial freedom, a wonderful loving partner, and all of the beautiful, loving relationships – all that I love in my life now — or something even better!
Why do I want it: to bless and be blessed; and to set an example to those I love that this really does work, and ultimately, play a part in making the vibrational tide rise so that the world becomes a better place.
August 19, 2008 at 5:22 am
Sue
Prosperity to me means eating what I want, where I want. Buying wine that I love. Buying clothes that look good on me. Living where I want to live. All of these things and more … without having to look at the price tag and wonder if I can afford it.
In fact, I’m letting go of the concept of “can afford” right now. The Universe can bring me everything and anything I desire.
If I can desire it, the Universe surely can provide it. I trust and know that much. The rest is just the “hows.” And that’s up to the Universe. So I surrender into the knowing that I am already prosperous beyond measure. Ahhh.
August 19, 2008 at 5:50 am
Teresa
What does prosperity mean to me? It is difficult for me to put into words.
Prosperity is a feeling of abundance and beauty to me. Examples include lots of love, laughing eyes, lead crystal vases full of flowers, fine wool material, soft leather, architectural designs, stained glass windows, sculptures, classical music, hip hop music, Jewel, beaches, dancing, herds of wild horses, oak trees, art work, old victorians, children running and laughing, old people sharing stories, antiques, etc.
What I want and why:
Continue spending quality time with husband and daughter because we all deserve to be loved and heard;
To move from cubicle to own office overlooking San Francisco Bay so that I can work in quiet and be part of the senior management team;
Head up small business division so that I can utilize all of my god given talents, creativeness, and experience;
Continue to purchase fresh flowers for my office so that I can enjoy the flower fields that I tromped through when I was a kid;
Travel to Victoria, British Columbia for research for one of my books;

Prosperity to me means being able to be, do and have any thing, expereince or relationship I desire, free from restrictions of time, money and energy (as well as skill, knowledge and experience) : being able to enjoy trusting in the mysterious creation; seeing and feeling in REAL FORM the outcomes of my thoughts and actions, and being PLEASED with what thus appears.
What I want and why: the time, money and energy to pursue my life’s dreams to the full: the freedom to travel and explore, interact and create passionate and meaningful art and expression from that: to be surrounded by warmth, sun, peace, nature, space, expereinces and relationships that make my (and others’) life(es) richer and richer every day.

I have discovered that my definition of prosperity has shifted and expanded. Prosperity to me now is about the joyful allowing of all that is wonderful and awesome into my life. This includes unlimited (as in an ongoing flow) finanacial abundance, the perfect place to live that allows me to feel nourished and balanced–preferably in a natural setting–a wonderful, harmonious relationship with both my children as well as allowing into my life those who share my vision of the beauty and bliss of peace in the world, work that both feeds my soul and allows me to nourish others and a partner who is loving and kind, strong and compassionate, who is OK with himself and will be OK with who I am no matter how quirky we might be.
What I want is to have the means to create a space of healing for youth (16-24) who currently live the illusion of having grown up in a damaging environment. I have this vision of a large “homestead” on a wonderfully large piece of land that will have a large stream or pond on it. There will be supportive staff living on site with the means to nurture and nourish these young people who have nowhere else to go and who fall through the cracks in our current society. They will have the opportunity to experience many different modalities of healing–art therapy, exposure to spiritual teachings and philosophies, focus on assets and strengths, a positive, uplifting environment. I will also have on site a compound for abandoned and/or abused animals (maybe dogs to start) and the young people will be given the opportunity to work with these four-leggeds so that they may help each other heal. I will also have a garden that they may use the opportunity to reconnect with Mother Earth and allow her to help them heal in her own unique way and a fitness centre to allow them to experience the possibility to healthier ways to express themselves physically. This is my dream and my vision. This is the ultimate expression of God and of Love and, to me, abundance and prosperity cannot help but flow.

Prosperity to me means having a propserous heart, feeling love, loving my self and having enough financial abundance to have a life of my wildest dreams. No more worries just time to enjoy life. Feel the freedom to do those things that I have yet to have experienced. To feel joyful, have fun, and to have abudance of time for my spiritual growth while being deeply in love with my beloved.

What is your unique, personal, definition of prosperity?
For me, prosperity is freedom.
Freedom from fear, freedom from worry, freedom from lack, freedom from limitation. Prosperity is the freedom to be, do and have whatever I want and to know that there is, and always will be, enough.
What do you want and why do you want this?
I want to be free of all of the blocks, conscious, subconscious and unconscious, that are holding me back from Universal abundance and prosperity so that I can experience it fully!
I want to be highly successful at doing what I love and subsequently be paid VERY well for it.
I want to know that my income GREATLY exceeds my expenses and is increasing every day whether I am working, sleeping or playing.
I want to be financially free to pursue all that stirs my heart.
I want to shop for clothes, cars, toys, whatever, without buyer’s remorse setting in before, during or after.
I want to jump on a plane with my fiancee’ and go to Europe for a week, just because. Or maybe we take a trip around the world. Maybe I even own the plane!
I want to buy a new house for my mom and see the look on her face when I hand her the keys.
I want to be able to visit my father and tell him to his face how much I love him.
I want to amass enough wealth that I can give it away philanthropically and make the world a better place from my having been here.
I want to do this to live to my greatest potential and fullest expression of life. A life of absolute joy and abundance.
I want to be an expression of Divinity, blessing and benefiting the lives of all who I encounter.

Prosperity for me would mean, not to be afraid any more that my life will crash. Prosperity would mean to trust G-d a 100% to take care of me and send me the experiences that will assist me in growing and blossoming.
Concrete goals: to be able to live easily in the two cities I’ve chosen to live in (Jerusalem and Amsterdam) with enough money to afford a decent home in each city, an abundance of friends, nice people who take care of the home where I am not living that moment, and enough trust in G-d that I can share my prosperity easily (i.e. let friends stay in my homes, support friends financially who need that), and also giving myself what will really bring me joy, not only ‘things’, but things like an art course, reliable caretakers for the two small homes I now have, the peace of mind and time to write a book about my 20 years in Jerusalem, the opportunity to write more articles in magazines here in Holland (and to be paid well for them!). Prosperity would also mean to have wonderful relations with all my freinds and family, no matter if they are on a ’spiritual path’or not. And it would mean really deeply loving and appreciating myself, also for being so super highly sensitive, (and not seeing myself as a failure because of not having made a conventional career).
I agree most with Daisy’s defintion of prosperity as being connected to G-d, the Source, whatever name you want to give the Creator of All…….

Prosperity to me is freedom. Freedom to wear what I want because I am happy with my body, freedom to eat what I like because I am confident it won’t harm me, freedom to go wherever I want and do whatever I want whenever I feel like.
It’s that feeling I get walking in the woods and feeling my lungs with fresh air, looking up in the sky and feeling one with the infinity of the universe.
Prosperity just feels incredibly good.

I define prosperity as having the freedom, physically, emotionally,spiritually and financially to be able to express my real self and live life from a place of who i’d like to be rather then who I feel have to be.
To live life without compromise and to be able to live every day from a place of joy not worry.
I desire a life rich in love, laughter, abundance and positivity!

My definition of prosperity:
An absolute knowing beyond all doubt that The Universe/God/All That Is is my supply and all things come to me as and when I want or need them.
Working on this absolute ‘knowing’ is why I am here.

‘What is your unique, personal, definition of prosperity?’ and ‘What do you want and why do you want this?’
My definition of prosperity is to have the resources of time and money and abundance to have and do as I come into a moment. To lead with the having and enjoying and indulging and freedom. My definition of prosperity is have something as I choose it, to look and shop with the knowing that I can have it simply because its what I choose and not make a choice based on what I can afford.
What do I want?
I want to buy the house I’ve been looking at for cash, to have the cash on hand and make a bid with the knowing that I can afford it. To see the house in the knowledge of what all I’ll be able to do with it, and how I can mold it to exactly as I wish. I want to pay off all of my debts and those of my children. I want to furnish my new house will all of the comfortable and wonderful that I desire. I want to purchase a new Honda for cash. I want to never have another loan for anything but to always have the funds to pay cash.
Why do I want it?
For the joy of it.

Prosperity for me is being open to the universe and to source and to the abundance that is available to me and to all. Being an open channel to receive everything that is coming my way. Being a magnet for the iron filings. Being in the flow so that abundant wealth and happiness can come come my way.

‘What is your unique, personal, definition of prosperity?’
Having an abundance of money and leisure time to enjoy my friends and family. To own my own homes, free and clear. To be able to devote myself to the work that pleases me without concern about supporting myself. To have a guaranteed income that exceeds what I need. I want to live what I would consider a luxurious lifestyle – that includes:
I want a big, comfortable home in a part of Dublin that I love, reasonable accessible to the city centre. I love Dublin; I like living here. I want to be able to be a host and work and live in the same building and offer workshops there.
I want a home on the country that doubles as a farm. I want to grow my own food, ad be self-sustaining. I like to feel like I am creating more than I am consuming. I want to be happy and feel prosperous and safe.
I want a villa in Italy where I summer. I love Italy and practicing my Italian; I love the sun and relaxing and cooking and eating healthy Italian food.
I want a pied a terre in London, another in NY and another in LA.
I want money to spend on hiring help, temporary and permanent, which makes my life easy.
I enjoy having specialists who do the jobs they are really good at, nearby and available. I like having teams of people who can show me how to do better and save me time for the things I enjoy doing and am good at. I like be helped every step of the way.
A housekeeper; I want someone to shop and clean and stay on top of the things that need doing in my home. It’s so marvelous to have clean sheets and towels whenever I need them, in my room and the guest rooms, to have all the furniture cared for and polished, to have the kitchen and bathrooms gleaming, the windows clean and shining, the rooms repainted while I am on holiday.
A Gardener: I want to have someone who can help me create and maintain a lovely big garden, which is beautiful to look at and a pleasure to relax and play in. We also grow food and flowers for the house.
A chef: I have someone who creates and freezes beautiful meals for me for every day of the week and who comes over and caters when I have guests. I am slimmer and healthier than I have ever been because I find it easy to eat well at home always.
A PA: I have a brilliant woman who takes care of all the administration of my life and makes all my travel arrangements. She saves me so much money.
A driver: I have a driver who is patient and discreet, who collects people from the airport and drives me when I go to parties and does errands whenever necessary.
An accountant: I have someone who manages my money brilliantly and helps it multiply which means that I always know it is flooding into my life.
A personal trainer: I have someone just like Clodagh who comes and trains me every morning We start the day together and we either swim or play tennis or do Pilates. She is so much fun and so encouraging. I love my body when I am with her.
Builders and craftspeople: I love creating new spaces for people to work and live and relax so I have my own team of builders and craftspeople. They have got to know me now and they are always coming up with new ideas to go along with what I want. We build sustainable buildings and they are heated and powered by renewable sources of energy.
Property managers. Because I have property all over the world, I have managers who take care of it for me Sometimes they let it, sometimes they make it available for my friends and family.
Beautiful furniture; I love being surrounded by beauty and I respond well to it. I take great pleasure in having beautiful bookshelves and storage spaces, sofas and chairs and beautiful music and a home cinema and life being easy and comfortable all around.
Tennis Courts: I want to live near tennis courts and be able to play often and get better at tennis. I feel young and free when I am chasing a ball around.
A swimming pool: I want an indoor/outdoor swimming pool that I can enjoy in all weather. I’d like to have a hot tub and a Jacuzzi and spa centre attached where we can give each other massages and take steam treatments and all that. I want to feel connected with the joy of my body and the joy of the physical universe.

My idea of prosperity is to enjoy the variety and abundance of all the delightful, fun, joyful experiences that life offers. Health, well-being, satisfaction, beauty, love, friendship in all of my experiences on this planet. Prosperity is more than the financial substance of money, but it is definitely a part of enjoying what is available. It is freedom to do and be all that I wish to experience! It is the allowing and flowing of Source in and out of my being every day. Prosperity is the goodness and best of everything that life has to offer – just for the fun, just for the joy, just because I am!

I walk through lush woods to an open meadow that is drenched in buttery sunshine, sprinkled with daisies and look up to a sky blue dome with threads of white cloud here and there. With the energy and enthusiasm of youth, I am running skipping, jumping, twirling turning laughing and loving the essence of my joy and freedom. In this place I am genereous, compassionate, free of worry, and attract only all that creates and maintains balance an harmony. Most important I share it all with everyone who wants the same with and for me and for themselves. This is the place where the universe is endless in its abundant flow, that starts with what I generate from my core.

Prosperity to me is not only based on wealth, but also on health, happiness, abundance – a life on purpose. It includes financial freedom to the point in which I have the capacity to accept the blessings of the Universe – while giving back to its well being through individual, group, and global responsibility. A prosperous future allows me to utilize my gifts, talents, and passions to create a better world – including and outside my own. I will have the ability to do so through my recognition that all is available to me if I am willing to accept and share.
I want to have the necessary means to live the lifestyle required to network with others who have the desire and opportunity financially to assist others through donations.
It includes helping individuals that I have worked with in the past who have even more potential than they realize and can make miracles happen in the lives of disadvantaged youth both locally and globally.
The infrastructure of the organization will need to promote employee stability through the best financial and compensation programs, health benefits, training, continuing education and other amenities such as massages, childcare, and tuition reimbursements.
It will serve to improve the lives of disadvantaged youth in all areas of the globe – teaching them basic financial, health, emotional, and spiritual principles. Offer opportunities to learn job skills and experience culture and art. It will teach them to dream big dreams – and the method in which to achieve them.
Prosperity allows my children the ability to attend any college that they want to attend. It allows me to give my parents both a nice home with nice furnishings, and quality transportation.
Prosperity in my health is being physically fit, eat right, treat my body well, and being thankful for it all.
Abundance in terms of love, family, friends, opportunities and resources – fills the cup in my prosperous life.

What is prosperity? After thinking about this a bit here is the answer I came up with. To be able to have enough money to be able to do what ever I want without having a concern about money.
The second question made more of an impact for me than I thought it would. Why do I want this? The first thing that came to my mind was so that I would be able to focus on making a difference in the world and not have to be focusing on money. Then I got the insight that maybe I keep my finances in the state that they are in so I don’t have to focus on making a difference. After all what might the world be like if everyone could be focusing on making a difference as opposed to the number of people who are focusing on just making ends meet or even just surviving.
Just wondering if anyone else can relate to this.

Prosperity:
Simplicity is my gauge of prosperity. I’ve been asking for simplicity in understanding and have evidence of drawing that to me in various categories but the ultimate wealth to gain is the simplicity to know immediately when I’m not connected to source energy and pivot.
What if that simplicity was drawn to me in abundance. Then the ultimate prosperity of all my asking would be evidenced in abundance without end.
When faced with a minor or a harsh reality of a serious ‘now’ experience, it’s easy to lose recognition of our disconnect from source in the moment.
It’s the one ’simple tool’ to open up the vault of all prosperity that you ask for and are in alignment with. Knowing when you are disconnected.
What if it was as simple as that?

‘What is your unique, personal, definition of prosperity?’
Prosperity is the ability and resources to make and follow the choices I want to make and to support the people I love make and follow the choices they want to make.
“What do you want and why do you want this?”
The material means to complete my writing apprenticeship and give my family more time, attention, and physical support. Basically, I want to retire so I can write full-time, help my children with their educational needs, and to travel. My family and my writing are the most important things in my life, and I want this so I can spend more time with/on both.

Primarily, prosperity means money–funds with which to live my ideal life. However, prosperity also goes hand in glove with “abundance” which I define as meaning having whatever I need when I need it. Both words…in my view… are akin to a rhythmic flow. I feel that when I am connected to the primal flow of the Universal (Divine) that prosperity comes along part and parcel. It feels like I must feel part of the inner flow in order to see it in my exterior world.
As for ‘What do you want and why do you want this?’ I would answer that I associate prosperity with FREEDOM. Prosperity allows me the freedom to go and do and see and experience things that lack would prevent. It can secure me a freedom of time, a freedom of space, a freedom of security, etc. etc. /__/

My personal definition of prosperity (for today, at this minute) – is the ability for be there for my loved ones; time wise, physically, and financially. And allowing me to be an explorer of new places and energies that expand my wellbeing.
What I want and why, is to be able to bring in this proseprity through some source that I love being present at – a job that allows me to have a positve effect on those around me and the world at large. I want to be in a position financially where each morning I awake without worry and instead plan how I can make this day better for me, someone else and the world at large.

Prosperity to me means not having a heavy heart about anything in life. It means waking up each morning and feeling good, it means loving myself and loving others unconditionally. It means leaving any difficult issues in the hands of higher powers and not trying to control the outcome. It really means again for me… allowing myself to love myself or at least being WILLING to allow myself to love myself. When i love myself, i will allow all the good to come to me like a waterfall, just constantly flowing in to me.
I want prosperity because i want peace of mind. I want to give and receive love, i want to share my wealth, financial freedom so i can travel when and where i want to, visit my friends and relatives all over the world, continue my studies in various therapies and healing methods, save stray and abandoned animals all over the world and lighten the load of anyone whose path crosses mine.

To me propserity is about having absolute faith and ability to create whatever I want in my life, no matter what’s going on around me. Of course, I want it all now!!! Yet divine timing and learning may mean a bit of a delay, so I guess it’s knowing that whatever is occuring; it’s coming!
As to what I want and why: Yes, financial wealth – £100M seems a ‘nice’ number… seem to be struggling with concept of being a billionaire! So, I want to be incredibly comfortable with money/wealth; to have fun with it; to know it’s all a game and still enjoy it. I want to leave a legacy of having created a more enjoyable and rewarding work culture in the City (Banks etc) working with their boards and beyone because its a gift I have to share. I want the toys: cars; a fab home; 3 skiing hols a year; weekend breaks to wherever and whenever; to be able fly…own a helicopter; fab cars – 914/6, 993 Targa, Dino 246GTS; a lovely wadrobe of tailored clothes; the mate… I guess, it’s because I think it’ll make me ‘happy’ and yet the only thing that I would regret if I never achieved it would be my ‘work’ legacy because without having givenit my best shot, I feel I would have wasted my trip here.

Prosperity is living your dreams without hesitation and without worry. It is being able to act impulsively without the filter of “Can I afford this?”. It is providing for others as well as yourself and living in the universal flow of love.
What I look to achieve is a steady stream of dollars so I may achieve the above. I do not rule out a huge windfall and know this game will set my mind straight toward achieving these goals.
August 19, 2008 at 8:21 pm
Marisela
I decided to give myself time to answer this questions… To answer them form my heart and in total awareness… I wanted to discover the meaning, my real meaning of prosperity…
Through this search I realized that prosperity is to enjoy and relish life… Prosperity is the perfect balance between matter, thoughts and spirit… And most of all, prosperity means freedom and trust… Total confidence on my own inner power of creating whatever I want in life, and of course, trust in the Universe abundance.
I know that I don’t want to be worried about money but I am afraid of being greedy, avarice and selfish.
… And Aha! This could be the reasons for not manifestign my full potential.
About what do I want and why I found that I want to be wealthier in all areas of my life. More specifically, I want success in my business (I want to be known and recognize), lots of clients in my same vibration, a US$ 10,00 monthly income, more friends, a month vacation per year to travell to different parts of the Globe, to do some ecological changes to my home… And many other things…
Why I want all this… mmm… Because I want to enjoy life more often, I want to feel free more often… I want to love what I am-do-have and to be-do-have what I love.

It’s very funny, because I was just talking about where I want to live eventually (and the life I want to lead) the other day.
So – definition of properity: For me, it is simply living in a constant state of peace, joy, and love.
What do I want and why do I want it?
So, what I was saying (I’m not kidding just the day before this experiment) was that I’d love to live in Los Gatos, CA. Either that location, or somewhere in that region. I love Santa Cruz as well. Living there, in my beautiful custom built house, I will relax and do my creative work when I wish in my home writing office. I will enjoy the elegant and popular retail stores in the area, and at the same time be able to sit in a Bohemian style coffee house and write in my journal. Most likely, a new idea for my next book, screenplay, or play. I also enjoy the magical energy of the woods, as well as the brilliance of the beach with white sands against a blue sky. I am sharing my life with a beautiful man who is my partner in love and creativity. I have complete freedom to go where I want, when I want, and to do be or have anything I like. I have millions in the bank and/or invested from the sales of my writings and acting jobs. I also have a monthly income as well that is a six figure number. I chose to begin two scholarships for actors and writers to pass on the help which I received from the Festival of Arts for Acting when I was in college. I appreciate all the help I received in my life and now I’m giving back. I’m involved in many charities as well for animals, feed the children, and so on.
I love my life, and I know this is the life have allowed myself to receive. I wrote a new story, and co-created effortlessly with the universe!
PS – I loved reading everyone’s posts. It was very inspiring! Namaste All!

Properity to me is living the life I want to live. Being to help and assist those who are struggling and need a helping hand. Living out my dreams without restrictions. I want to be financially independent and not want for anything, so I can live my life to the fullest and create and bring forth all the dreams I have in my heart.

Prosperity for me is allowing the natural flow of abundance to enter all aspects of my life. Healing the patterns that interfere with this flow and attract the things I need for living is my challenge.
What I want is to be supported by my skills and talents. I want my healing practice to be full of clients who are happy to pay my fees. I want to sell my paintings right off the easel. I want my radio plays to be in demand and I want my flower essences to reach all the people who need them.
I want to be independently wealthy as well as able to follow my own rythm of life. I want to change the age old worry pattern into a “I don’t even have to think about money” pattern. It just comes, and I am grateful for every cent.
I want what I have to give to find the people who need me the most – that would complete the circle for me on all levels.

‘What is your unique, personal, definition of prosperity?’
My definition is the freedom and resources to do what I want, when I want. To help who I want to help in the way that I want to help them. To give to others without feeling as if I am taking away something of myself.
‘What do you want and why do you want this?’
I guess this could be a good place to put my creation workshop material, yes? I’m going to go with a 30 day period first…
Adventure
Cool toys to play with
Fun friends to be around
Flexibility
Laughter
Smiles
Appreciation
And of course, lots of financial and spiritual and emotional prosperity!!!
Some of the cool stuff:
MacBook Air – just for the coolness factor (both cool meaning RAD and cool meaning no more burning of my fingers while I’m typing)
Full store of inventory with MK – so I can turn around quickly for my customers and so I can enjoy growing this business
Some MK business builders – facial boxes, more samples and facials in a bag, wheelie bags and shelves for organizing at home
More trim – so Miguel doesn’t feel he needs to nag me about it anymore

Prosperity feels like good-heartedness and a Yes that rumbles up from my belly.
I am open to prosperity feeling so good, it is like my body is covered in warm chocolate sauce.
I am open to prosperity feeling like deep rich goodness, and a sense of overwhelming satisfaction and joy in just knowing that everything is all right.

When I envision a life blessed with abundance and prosperity, one word comes to mind: FREEDOM! Knowing that I can create and have access to the unlimited treasure chest of abundance that is waiting for me means that I am in control of my life and that I am on a path of freedom. I am free of worries, free of money fears and doubts which plague and stress me, and spend my time creating wealth rather than obsessing about debt and bills. Knowing that I am deserving of abundance and prosperity, not just with blessings of money, but being blessed in all areas of my life, career, relationships, home life, health, beauty. Freedom to know that every day can be exactly as I divine it to be and that I can attract the best of everything into my life, feeling joyous and free.

My definition of prosperity is having abundance in all aspects of my life, not just finances, that’s important too but an abundance of love, of work that i enjoy doing, friends that love me and care about me, family that is support no matter whether i have money or not. Just having enough to share with other without depriving myself. an abundance of good relationships, and health. I have a broken leg right now and health has never been more important to me. I have had hard financial times for so long but i am learning to change my way and thinking about money and how the universe gives it to us naturally and freely with no strings attached

Prosperity to me means freedom from want…to be so full of abundance that my cups runs over to other people’s and their cups are so full that they not only want but jsut have to share with others.
What I want is MORE than enough and to trust God is extremely generous and that I am truly blessed. I would love to have a beautiful quaint home by the ocean that has a big kitchen where friends and family gather and have fun.
My work isn’t work, it is a passion and every day new and old friends come into my life effortlessly as well as the abundant flow of money. I am going to travel back to Hawaii and visit all of the islands, I am going to Italy to the Amalfi Coast, I will give generoulsy to St Judes Chilsren Hospital and to The Scleroderma Foundation as well as the ASPCA.
The risidual income that I get from the new hand held galvanic device to smooth out wrinkles is so popular that I can’t keep up with the orders. Every one loves the results so much, that I am able to work just part time as a massage therapist and esthetician and I am able to travel because I don’t have to trade my time for money anymore. Life with my boyfriend Tom gets better and better because we have more quality time together to share and cherish eachother. I get to bring my parents on a wonderful weekend getaway that they will love so much, that it will be one of the most magnificent times of their lives.

Prosperity for me means having unlimited and immediate accesss to financial wealth, physical health, creative ideas, in alignment with spirit and for my highest and best good.
What I want/desire is several million dollars to begin my childhood dream of being one of the worlds greatest, unkown, philanthropists to ever live. This also includes owning my home or several, traveling joyfully around the world, surprising family and friends just for fun with things, and dollars and time.
Ease, comfort, graceful living from a heart full of joy and gratitude and sharing of the unlimited abundance that is always available is the why.

What is my unique, personal, definition of prosperity?
Experiencing the unfolding of life with ease, flow, and grace, having all needs met {physical, emotional, spiritual, sexual, and mental}, having all desires fulfilled, utilizing my abundance of wealth, love, and happiness to maximize joyful, positive feeling for myself and those around me. Prosperity includes a sense of freedom and autonomy, allowing my decisions to be made by my Self, and my actions for my Self, wholly and always. Prosperity means my Sphere of Experience contains people and things that are pleasing and positive and health-giving. Prosperity is a blissful balance of sensual delight and spiritual ecstasy.
What do you want and why do you want this?
I want the best that life has to offer: food, clothing, vehicles, homes, technology, natural environment, relationships, travel opportunities, loving contact, artistic expression. I want these things because they are the results of the highest efforts of human creation, and such efforts feel magnificent when experienced. The best really is the best. I want the highest quality in all things, because that yields the highest quality of human experience. Remember these things I speak of are not strictly material. I want the highest quality of mates and interpersonal bonds, and the highest quality of personal endeavor.

Prosperity for me is a state where I can choose to spend my time how I wish. There is always more money, but time is finite. I am already so prosperous in virtually all areas of my life, and the area of finances is my last area to mould into shape. Already knowing the path, that is the minimisation of personal greed, I am currently seeking the finalisation of my car and home debts. I am satisfied with my little car, and my modest home. I do not need better ones to define me. I recognise the folley in this ego driven need. I have plenty of toys, and all that I could ever need to enjoy the now. I choose NOT to chase the ever elusive “millionare” lifestyle, and prefer the more peaceful route into less. I look forward to a life of “working” when and where I choose, and only personally needing to earn the basics for everyday survival. The rest I shall earn from this point on is sheer excess, to spend on my loved ones, and to give away to others as I see fit. A life of contribution, in many ways.
I already witness this beginning to act in my life.
Thankyou for where I am already.
Such peace.

Prosperity, to me, is having an unlimited abundance of wealth, health, and joy. Being able to be constantly thankful for the over-joyous flow of all good things in ones life is true prosperity.
I want my bank account to be filled with millions of dollars, and I want this because I love having lots of money under my control.
I want to have an ideal body weight so that I can be healthier.
I want a loving romantic relationship with an ideal man so that I can freely express this romantic love that I have deep inside of me.

My idea of prosperity is having what you wish and desire to manifest, whether it be riches, love, family, friends, people, relationships, happiness – you name it. Prosperity in all its forms is ultimately happiness. Prosperity is succeeding on any and all levels and terrain. I believe prosperity comes from believing in yourself and allowing the forces and wonder and beauty of nature, of the creator, of god, of the universe, to make way and mainfest that which i desire. prosperity = dreams comng true. when i first read this question of what is prosperity to me, i first thought of money. but there is SO much more to it than money- there islove, happiness, goodness, friends, family, learning, knowledge… i am excited to be learning more and more and feeding off of each other’s excitement and success!

Prosperity, above all else, is being *greatful* for what you have. The very first and very last things I do each day is say “THANK YOU” to my higher power. I endeavor each day to cherish what I have, and know that I am *worthy* to have more. (a big accomplishment for me, as I didn’t use to feel worthy). And, to *give*……I don’t think we’re given *anything* until we’re ready and *willing* to *give* it away.

Prosperity to me is to have finanical freedom to be able to do (or not do) anything I want. To have the health to enjoy travelling the world with my family, friends and partner and never to have to think about bills or money again.

1. Living in a clean, decluttered, roomy, aesthetically pleasing environment in a pleasant neighborhood with a great climate.
2. Strong health
3. Someone who loves me nearby
4. Freedom to work everyday at activities I love, and feeling some degree of success and recognition for those activities. Feeling competent and talented.
5. Freedom from financial burden of any kind. I don’t need a bazillion dollars, but I would like to be able to spend money without anxiety and never worry about bills.
6. Having beautiful, stylish and comfortable clothes
7. Feeling that I look good.
Feeling love, joy and gratitude overflowing from me.

My definition of prosperity:
Prosperity is a state of mind – alignment with the Source from which All is Manifest.
What do I want and why?
I want to know (at the level of Being, not at an Intellectual level) the Illusion of the world I live in. I want to know the Source behind the manifestation of my experience because I want to be free from the trappings of this physical experience.
Quantum physics tells us that sub-atomic particles have a dual nature: they are simultaneously both form and light, particles and waves. The physical world that I experience is the particle manifestation of light, or Source energy. As long as I am identified with the physical, I desire and want ‘things’. Eckhardt Tolle explains this as the aspect of Ego which is never satisfied – it always wants more and more and more.
It stands to reason then, that when I know and experience the other side of nature, ie. the light/wave aspect, my Ego cannot hold my attention trapped in the maya, the Illusion. The challenge is to attain this state of awareness and then to maintain that awareness within the World of Form.

Paulien from holland
prosperity for me is being free, loving and safe in all aspects of my live.
all the things I want:
-a constant flow of money more than I can spend,
-a loving partner, who is ligned up with me, with whom I feel safe to be with, who loves me unconditionally,
-loving friends to share my joy with,
-a beautiful house, I love beautifull things with a feeling of clarity, ease, space, safety, light, fun, joy and peace
-work that feels like a hobby in co creating together,..
-and a stream of never ending desires to hope for,
are a translation of the energy of feeling and being safe, loved, wanted, treasured, nurished and supported, on this mother earth.
prosperity fior me is the feeling of no longer fighting life and feeling a victum, but being a deliberate creator!! a co-creator together with the universe so I know that there is a reason of my being here.. and that the reason is fun, joy, love and light!
prosperity for me is also a feeling of sharing and giving, lots and lots of it, in the knowing that there is no limit to the source of abundance, love and inspiration.
prosperity is knowing!! and feeling!!! that the universe is a loving friend who is in alignement with me, as I am in alignement with the universe!!
happy, happy, happy (it feels so good to write this down!!)
with lots of love, Paulien

‘What is your unique, personal, definition of prosperity?’ and ‘What do you want and why do you want this?’
I define prosperity as the ability to live an expansive life of love, rather than one of contraction/fear.
Prosperity for me is the place/space where I feel free to be all I could possibly be, where I fulfil my unlimited potential as a human/spiritual being and where I share all of me/all I have with the energies that also share this reality. Prosperity is union/connection with the All that Is, rather than separation/isolation.
I want to move myself to a place of consistency of abundant flow – in all its many life-giving forms – to increase my ability to stay fully present in the NOW and to release/unburden myself/let go of the need to create drama in my life to then give myself/Life permission to manifest the circumstances and resources I want/need/desire.
I give up the need to live in a ‘feast or famine’ paradigm. I choose to live in a state of prosperity, of ease, dignity and grace, so that I can give my full attention and energy to expressing my highest purpose and to contributing to the highest good of all.
As I have spoken, so it is,
As I have spoken, so it is,
As I have spoken, so it is…
Blessings Be…

To me prosperity is a healthy me, of body, mind and heart, with unlimited resources to my life choices. I want to live in a state of relaxed abundance, no more FEAR. I want to make joyful choices, not desperate, fearful, manipulative choices.
I want to live in a great house on a beautiful mountain lake where I write successfully. A clear sense of purpose and an worldwide avenue to exercise my creativity in a way that adds to the joy and well being of myself, my children and others. A like-minded man, full of good humor, of strength and character with whom to share the journey. The opportunity to travel

Prosperity is having an abundance of whatever is desired in the physical or spiritual realms (i.e. peace, love, joy, compassion, health, money).
I want to experience peace in my heart. I want to feel at ease in my own skin and to relish this physical environment in which we live to the fullest!
August 21, 2008 at 3:20 am
Julia Joy
Prosperity means feeling full to overflowing, no sense of limitation or lack, a natural state of bliss and gratitude for all the abundance received and given, be it money, smiles, service or inner peace.
I want so much. My ego thirsts for a home, a jeep wrangler, more travel, prestige, fulfilling work, satisfying relationships, to “make a difference in the world”. I want these things so I can identify who I am and feel a worthy part of the human race.
My soul yearns for love, acceptance, joy and laughter. I want these things because when I open myself to see I already “have” them, I feel absolutely fantastic and all is well in my world.
Something in me wants to express itself authentically through writing. Scares the living begeebers outta me. I don’t know why I want to do this!

Prosperity for me is having an abundance of those things that are important to me, give me pleasure and enable me the freedom to do as I please. Having an abundance allows the sharing of prosperity with those I love, generating a growing circle of happiness encouraging the desire in others to attract their own personal prosperity.

Prosperity to me is Time. I thought really hard about this and it comes simply down to Time. I feel prosperous when My husband and I can hang around with one another and the kids doing the things we like,..like build things you know design them together and build them together, or travel, or just hang out watching movies or sitting outside relaxing and dreaming, or gardening and so on and so forth. I also love to cook and be creative, and I love the best ingredients and the time to explore them and again there it is,…In order to do the things I love, we need two things money and time,…now we can have the money by working and working, but it is the working working that eats up at the time which is now what I decided is my definition of prosperity…Time!!!
I want to add that I have sort of conquered the prosperity factor,…I opened the portals to prosperity. I have been a stay at home Mom with hobbies that often led to some sorts of income here and there, but then my husband suggested a job to me,..some time after I started playing the propserity game,..and it was a job I had not thought about ever,…but in truth he knows me and it fit,…so I took the classes, then sat on my hands another two years before I went and took the test and was licensed, in fact I almost didn’t because I still couldn’t see myself being good at it…but again my husband insisted saying he knew I would be good at it. I started the job less than a year ago and I actually have single handedly moved us into a new tax bracket. My belief about my job is that you can make alot of money in this profession,..and yet in this market most are not,..but for me I beleive you can and I have and I do. In fact I realize in retrospect for me I need to hold the belief of universal prosperity, which I do, but in order for me to make it flow I need an outlet to look at for it to come on in. I feel that we are all hard wired differently and that we must have a believable outlet for ourselves to allow prosperity to flow in. Some people can say yes I want it in surprises and it happens,..for me I still am caught up in,..I believe it and this is where it can come from,..surprises happen in my outlet, but the outlet needs to be believable for me to allow the surprises to happen,..make sense?
For me I found my outlet. I know how much money can be had, I also know there is no cap in earnings at my job, so I have a no bars hold attitude and amazingly I am doing just fantastic demonstrating every day. I actually pinched myself when I decided I wanted to own a mercedes,..the sort of thing that never interested me before,..and I am happy to say that putting my attention and desire to it,..lead me to being able to I buy one, and for cash last month!
So this time around in really looking to define prosperity, coming from my new mind set, I realize I see prosperity as Time and so I want money to flow in easily so that I can have plenty of time/prosperity to enjoy my life, my husband, my children and friends

HI all,
I am coming a few days late to this experiment and plan to be caught up by end of day.
What prosperity means to me is:
Total financial freedom. The ability to work, play, and give easily and freely. Being debt free and receiving money easily.
Having the freedom to enjoy family and friends.
Traveling to my favorite places whenever the mood strikes
Living in the home of my dreams overlooking the Pacific Ocean, furnished with exquisite taste yet comfortable and welcoming. A place to entertain and relax. A beautiful garden and space for my dogs to run and play.
Being physically and mentally fit. Healthy body, healthy mind. Looking 10+years younger then I am and feeling even younger.
My business easily runs itself and earns me $3+million/yr. I work with only ideal clients and they eagerly pay me the fees I charge.

‘What is your unique, personal, definition of prosperity?’
For me it’s waking up each morning with a sense of delight and excitement at what lies ahead.
‘What do you want and why do you want this?’
I want to feel free to spend my time as I choose, rather than being told what to do and when. I want to spend as much of my time close to a sandy beach, where the power of the waves fills my heart with joy. I want a table filled with nourishing food and loved ones to share it with. Why? Because I’m tired of following other people’s rules, tired of having to do the sensible things, tired of living and working in the city, tired of worrying about how to put nourishing food on the table without overspending. Time for some rest and recuperation I think!

Hi everyone, I’m also coming in a couple days late, but we all know our timing is always perfect. Prosperity to me is everything.. The ability to wake up every morning healthy, happy and ready to dwell in the divine possibilites. It’s knowing my children and grandkids, friends, family and myself are all safe from harm and living their lives to their highest potential. It’s being willing to be amazed at all the good, fun, adventure, money, love, joy and happiness that this day can bring. What do I want?
Like everyone I want absolute financial freedom, no debt, beautiful home and furnishings, elegant travel, but above all I want bountiful health for myself and those I love and care for.. I would like to have the career that fulfills me and offers to those I touch the help they most need, want and desire.. My houses furnished just the way I’d like, I’d like a condo on the beach paid for easily and effortlessly. At present, I’d like to find a wonderful, compassionate, artful dentist to help me fix my teeth. I need and want extensive work..so I’m asking for all that see this, to see me with a beautiful smile saving as many of my own teeth as possible… So, I’ll start out by saying thank you for this experiment. Health, abundant wealth, complete joy for myself and all those I care for, inner peace, sincere love, and a long happy, healthy, financially abundant life starting right this second. thank you

I want to have residence in the USA and Brazil and live in both plces throughout the year. I want to experience great health and well-being, having a body temple that is strrong, vibrant, young, flexible and light and move with grace inspired by movement that is fun and healthy.
Why? So I can live life and enjoy it to the fullest and can be of service inspiring others to manifest their dreams.

I hadn’t done these questions yet and was struck by some of the comments on the call today.
What do I want and why do I want it?
TRUST
I believe when I trust my inner voice and act on that guidance I am on way to prosperous living. Believing in myself and my inner guidance will allow me freedom to make inspired and prosperous choices. I feel open to whatever comes my way and fully in the moment.

Sonia
My definition of prosperity is being “tuned in” to the universe and receiving what I ask for.
What do I want?
I want to design, build and live in my own home, in a co-housing settlement surrounded by my family and friends. I enjoy playing music, painting, sharing meals, stimulating conversations and long walks in the mountains, as well as passing on my skills and knowledge, especially to my little grandson. Materially, I want enough money to buy everything I need, and want, including generous gifts, when I want it.
Why do I want this?
Living in abundance will give me great happiness, satisfaction and joy. It is also the best way I know of bringing about positive change and helping to heal the earth – which will bring even more joy to myself and others!

Prosperity is the freedom from worry about survival. It is the ability to be generous with myself and others regarding things that require dollars. Money flows freely, in and out, and I trust that the supply is limitless and that my needs and wants will be met perfectly in a timely manner. I am able to be a contribution to others and to the planet as I experience abundance in all areas of my life.
I want to be able to travel, so that I can maintain my connection to family and friends and explore new places.
I want to be able to attend conferences and workshops so that I can continue to learn and offer my best to others.
I want to own a duplex so that I can have security and offer quality housing to my renters.
I want to have a thriving energy medicine practice in order to empower others to live their dreams and myself to be free of outside employment.

I wasn’t sure I was going to post but I ended up here. I started the day after the official start. The very first thing that came to mind when I asked myself what my personal definition of prosperity is was: Anything that brings me joy and ease of living.
What I want right now is to be in a place where financial NEEDS are being met. I also want to go to Carol Tuttle’s Dressing Your Truth program. I also want my business to get off the ground.

What is your unique, personal, definition of prosperity?’
Having a continuous flow of money that covers all expenses easily, with excess that I don’t quite know how to spend, so that I can then have the possibility to spend it on presents for others. Having enough money so that it accumulates without me realizing.
and ‘What do you want and why do you want this?’
I want enough money to cover all our expenses so that we do not know how to spend it all and we save by default, after purchasing all the things of ours dreams and then can redirect all the excess to worthy causes and giving to family etc.

What is your unique personal definition of prosperity?
When I think of what prosperity means to me, the first word that comes to mind is freedom. Freedom to travel the world, freedom to purchase anything my heart desires, freedom to help family and friends, freedom to gift people unexpectedly, freedom with time. Prosperity and being prosperous in terms of my career means doing the work I love with people I like and making great money..really making a difference to someone everyday..working in a warm, caring environment filled with laughter and happiness and positivity. I would like to REALLY know deep down that there’s always enough money and that I can feel dree to give as much as I want….freedom to volunteer, freedom to explore my creativity in anyway I’d like. Freedom from working a job I’m not thrilled with just to pay the bills. Prosperity means living a full and rich and happy life…constantly growing spiritually and mentally..treating my body with respect..truly loving myself.
What do you want and why do you want it?
I want to live a life in a place that I love that inspires my creativity. Chicago..and the feel of that great city..and a place by the ocean in California or Hawaii. I’d like to wake up to the smell and sound of the ocean. I’d like to have a creative studio in my home.I’d like to be surrounded by books and animals. I want to travel the world because I love to explore and see how other cultures live. I want to help young women and girls with self esteem issues because I think I would be good at that. I have a genuine interest in it. I want women to love themselves and treat themselves with respect. i want to work with dogs. I want to feel free and happy!!

‘What is your unique, personal, definition of prosperity?’ and ‘What do you want and why do you want this?’
Prosperity means abundance to me–abundance in all things that enrich my life personally and the lives of those I love, as well as others I wish to help.
What I want is the consistent ability to manifest whatever I need or want when I need and want it. This includes health, wealth, friendship, support, joy, locale, creativity, fun, “real world” success, ease, grace, peace and whatever tickles my fancy at any particular time, as well as the wisdom to choose and use my manifesting wisely and with love.

Prosperity to me is being rich in five areas: First and most important is Spiritual Growth along with Spiritual Gifts which will enable me to help others. Second is the Mental ability to help others realize how very precious their spirit is. Third is the Physical which is good health. Forth is to be rich in family and friendships which support and share my goals and beliefs. Fifth is the peace and comfort of financial freedom to be able to successfully accomplish the first four.
Why do I want this? There is nothing more important in this life than to know who I am and helping others to realize who they are. This way, we will all be able to successfully accomplish what we came here to do.

Prosperity to me equates to freedom, joy and service to others.
What I want is to feel this freedom and joy everyday while serving others and enriching their lives.
Why I want it is because I believe that the core of our beings is rooted in freedom and that we are only complete when we are living this fully.

‘What is your unique, personal, definition of prosperity?’
At this point of life for me Prosperity means I have abundance on all levels – abundant trust and faith, money, health, light, loving and nurturing relationships, strength, support, freedom to manifest my heartfelt desires and power.
“What do you want?”
I Choose to have Euros 5,000,000 in the bank through Coal or any other un expected business deals and a passive income stream of Euros 10,000 per month.
“Why do you want this?”
I love to have lots and lots of money and I started appreciating what Money does for me and my family – especially in the physical manifestation where I need to pay every thing with money. I love to balance my spirituality and materialism. All this while I feel I have grown spiritually and now I am growing materially also so that – I deserve the best things of life like having a great home, every year vacation with family and friends, cars for the family , Health Insurance and able to pay the bills with joy and fulfillment ,attend all the spiritual retreats and trainings I am longing to do – Shine in my Essence as a great Holistic Wellness Coach and Natural health and Spiritual Retreat owner and to support the community in transforming their lives. Use my Abundance to support the abused women to stand on their own feet, open up an Old age home in India.

Prosperity for me is to be able to share my abundance of creativity, thoughts and desire to help others and have that abundance returned in the form of connections with others, satisfaction of knowing I have helped others overcome challenges, and of course, monetary returns allowing me to live a life that is comfortable and stimulating enough to keep me producing creatively.

prosperity is independence: financial, emotional, spiritual…there is no set “amount” of any “thing” that creates a line between abundant and not-abundant. rather, there is a space within which i experience freedom and clarity, where flow occurs without obstruction…

Prosperity to me is a combination of a peaceful home life, a wonderful sense of well-being, and having enough money to do everything for my family. I want to do something with my life that is worthwhile, fullfilling to others and overall rewarding I really have the desire to prosper with my children’s books. To me, prosperity would be sharing joy with children around the world with my books. I want for them to get more value out of the book than that of the price that is on it. I want to be able to take care of my parents in their old age and send my children to the best schools. I want to have prosperity in order to fully live and to be live to my full and creative potential

Prosperity for me is freedom of choice, freedom to choose what or whom to give time to in support of. Having domestic financial freedom and the opportunity to show others how its done.
Having £100M to attain an income from and invesrt in helping the world and those who cant help themselves.

‘What is your unique, personal, definition of prosperity?’ and
‘What do you want and why do you want this?’
Spend some time today thinking about this. Don’t rush it. Let the
answer emerge from within you.
For me prosperity would be having the an over abundance of wealth – enough money to allow myself freedom to do whatever I want, whenever I want.
The financial freedom prosperity would give me would take care of all my living expenses, housing, food, health insurance, transportation, vacations, fitness – everything
Prosperity would allow me to indulge in all the creative processes I enjoy. Sewing, knitting, making jewelry, crotcheting, making my own soap, baking, cooking – there
will be time for everything I enjoy because prosperity is the allowance of enjoying life to its fullest every moment.
Prosperity would include love, joy and happiness in my life. Source energy would flow in me, through me and out of me to everyone I encounter.
September 15, 2009 at 8:19 am

My definition for prosperity is having the essential things in life – love, good health, luck. They are connected and with all of them you can achieve everything else (incl. financial prosperity). I’d like to have them in order to live fully, without any limitation and to be able experience different things in life.
September 15, 2009 at 8:32 am
Sandy
‘What is your unique, personal, definition of prosperity?’ and
‘What do you want and why do you want this?’
Prosperity for me is trust – an abundance of trust that God (Universe) will supply all of my desires freely, and abundantly. Prosperity is energy. It’s health. It’s courage and love. Prosperity is giving. Prosperity is new, ideal clients for my business. It’s fun, freedom, power to live the life of my dreams and to fulfill my purpose in life. Prosperity is creative. It’s financial – and so much more. Prosperity would give funding to the passion for literacy and providing an education for under privileged children. It would also give me money for vacations, travel, and enjoying life.
What I want is money to more than pay the bills for my business and my life. I want money for enjoyment, pleasure, and just to know I have it available.
Prosperity is also more than money or finances. It’s friends, family, and that that that involves. Prosperity is being a powerful leader, making a change in the world in which we live, and being responsible for changing the literacy rates in this country.
Thank you for the opportunity to play the prosperity gams.

For me prosperity has a particular look and feel. I have a vision of the house we own surrounded by friends and family enjoying ourselves. For me it’s all about simple pleasures in life (health, wealth, love and peace) and the financial freedom to enjoy them at my leisure.
September 15, 2009 at 9:03 am
Betsy
For me the definition of prosperity is..
Having plenty of resources, including money, so that energy is free to be and do without worries, or holding back “waiting” for all the bills to be paid to really live. To know that there is enough always there so that I am able to immediately pay for services that I receive. To enjoy and live life freely, and be able to give freely and easily. To be able to have the freedom to explore new areas and places. To have time to be with family and friends, to be able to rest and relax, to imagine something wonderful and be able to do it with certainty, and to enjoy life every moment. Freedom, joy, peace, and to expand. To be able to be truly generous in every way. To feel pleasure and calm.

To me, prosperity is living a life that is rich with possibilities… I would like the freedom to live my dreams, the financial fortitude to stand on my own two feet and to live comfortably and joyfully, and the peace in knowing that I am enough and that I am worthy in this moment. I would like to live with enormous gratitude, and have enough resources to share. I would like to surround myself with many meaningful and inspiring connections with people who are positive and hopeful. I would like to prove to myself that I am capable of creating my own abundance, doing what I love to do.

My goal is to change my Money Set Point from having “not quite enough each month” to “having more than enough” to put into motion my Big Plans.
I love hard work and practicing my creativity. I see prosperity as a state of being financially rewarded with as much vigor and passion as I give to my craft.
I give a high level of passion and intensity to my art. I want to be financially rewarded for my talent at an equally high level.

Prospertiy for me is getting to choose when I am going to work and when I am not going to . Choosing when and where I want to travel and who I am going to hang around with. Choosing which “mission” trips I want to be part of. Having enough money I don’t need to worry about being frugal. Free to choose what ever I want to purchase at any time without any anxiety. I travel to Europe dressed in beautiful clothes. I get to afford the most expensive tour guides that take care of all my wants and needs when I travel to Italy with the man of my dreams. After returning we have a beautiful party at our beautiful house that looks over the ocean with incredible gardens with peonies, roses, and other beautiful flowers. We are talking about the three week trip that is coming up to Hawaii, and the great spot that we are going to and look forward to swimming with the dolphins. The house I live in is clean comfortable and has a warm inviting feeling, and is made of natural stones and beautiul woods. My health is the best I have ever been in at the age of 51. I am able to afford the best organic foods and eat only the best for me. I am commited to my daily walk with my dogs and I excercise with a perosnal trainer twice a week and take zumba classes. One a month, I treat myselfm to an anti-aging facail and relaxing massage along with my manicure and pedicure and sexy hairstyling.

For me prosperity means not worrying about anything and knowing that the Universe will take care of all things and provide what is needed all the time.
I want to be free and do whatever I want to do. I want to have more than enough money (20.000.000 € or more). I want to drive the car I want and be able to maintain it well, I want to take dance lessons from the best dancers in the world, I want to be a NIKE model, I want to travel wherever I feel like going to, I want to build up my own business in the fitness sector and help other people reach their physical goals, and more…
Why do I want all this? Because it is a deep desire of me for a long time and what is holding me back until now is the security aspect that I learned in my life and less self-confidence or missing belief.

I started really thinking about prosperity… I decided I wanted to look at what the dictionary said
“The state of being prosperous; advance or gain in anything good or desirable; successful progress in any business or enterprise; attainment of the object desired; good fortune; success; as, commercial prosperity; national prosperity. ”
Looking at it… This is amazing to me, it set off a spark of excitement. BECAUSE… I think I got it, I think the revelation hit me in the face.
I am constantly looking to advance or gain in ANYTHING good or desirable. As Abraham says… there is no right or wrong, so that means EVERYTHING… I can advance in EVERYTHING… Everything desireable is my personal relationships, can keep advancing to make them better over time instead of getting stagnant.
successful progress in any business or enterprise.. ok lol i have to laugh because it says ANY Business , that means ANY business lol so as I run my LARGE sought after business, its only going to get bigger…
attainment of the object desired; good fortune; success; as, commercial prosperity; national prosperity. ” I just need to keep in the vortex and the prosperity will come to me with no effort.
THAT is what prosperity means to me! The funny thing is …LOL I didnt really think about what prosperity meant.
I LOVE being in the Vortex and I love being in this experiment
FRANCE proposes happiness to measure economic growth, now watch France’s economy growth!

Prosperity to me means, that I have the ability to do, be or have what I want when I want it.
I have a steady cashflow that fully supports the lifestyle I am living. I have the intelligence and ability to create and learn anything that I desire. I have passion for everything that I am experiencing. I have energy to take things to the next level. I have many many friends and have fun with them. I fully support everyone in their beliefs and allow them to be as they are. I create prosperity not only in my life but also the life of others.
I travel the world marveling at its beauty. I experience loving & fun friends and family. I am constantly enjoying myself wherever I go and whatever I do.
I have the “Midas touch”.
I have passive income and active income and some things I just do for free because it’s fun! I am financially investing in other entrepreneurs in many countries improving their lives and their economies. I am improving in my local economy by investing in the local organic farms and other forms of free trade.
I am allowing of my government as it matters not to me how they behave. I am appreciative of the safety that we live in, the smooth roads that we drive our cars on, the technological advances to our society, the public transportation systems. Government does have its positive uses in my universe.
I am allowing of other people to be as they are as I am appreciate of the co-creation experience.
I am allowing the universe to surprise me in wonderful ways and I am allowing to the universe to bring to me what I want.
This is prosperity to me.

‘What is your unique, personal, definition of prosperity?’
Prosperity is a state of flow. A flow of joyfulness, playfulness and trust. Being in prospeirity means I don’t have to worry, suffer, and despare to enjoy the wonder of life. Life flows to me easily. Money flows to me easily, and great people flow to me easily. it’s a way of life whihc is filled with gratitude, joy and fun.
‘What do you want and why do you want this?’
I want to truly, deeply and continuously experience this way of living- the way of prosperity. I want it because I would like to deeply experience that I am truly a child of God, and that I am truly devinely supported. i want this because I think there’s a reason why I chose to come into this life time, at this specific time and place. I want this because I want to see the true nature of me, the part of me that is really God.

Prosperity means to me to have enough to meet all my needs and to be planning future spending in joy, spending on a home, on travel and on sharing wonderful experiences with my loved ones and colleagues. I want to have a multi million euro trust fund – trusting that all will be well and that all the money and security I need will flow through my life as required.
I want a home of my own – with a garden and spare rooms for my guests and family and professional associates.
I want this so that I feel rooted here at home, feel that I have a base from which I am building my life and somewhere to work with collaborators. I want to create a beautiful environment for myself and the people with whom I share time.
The prosperity experiment has literally brought me astonishing, miraculous results in the past. I believe and trust in it more each time and welcome the amazing results it is bringing to me now.

Prosperity is the freedom to choose what you do; not to have to do what you do to survive. Financial freedom affords freedom of choice. I believe that i have much good to do on my journey – whether in commerce, with my family or through charity. I will focus on abundance and wait for direction. My world is already changing in many mysterious ways.

‘What is your unique, personal, definition of prosperity?’ and ‘What do you want and why do you want this?’
My personal definition of properity is any form of abundance and giving. It is a contant source of material and spiritual fulfillment that continues to thrive and give. There is no limit to it. The universe has an unlimited amount for everyone and everything.
What do I want? Like many others, to be debt free, to change my perspective of finances from there is not enough to there is always enough. I always have, I never do not have. I always CAN have, not that I cannot.
More than anything this is a mental challenge for me to CHANGE my brain to recognizing that my definition of prosperity INCLUDES ME! That I also am entitled to this limitless prosperity in the universe.
And thank you for including me in this experiment =)

QueenElizabethMcFadden
‘What is your unique, personal, definition of prosperity?’ My unique, personal, definition of prosperity is having an abundance consistently flow in and never-ending. There is a constant flow with no end in site; An unlimited stream of abundance. The abundance is effortless abundance and because of this effortless abundance I have more freedom. Freedom in a sense that I am able to go where I want, when I want to and also, do what I want, when I want to- within reason of course.
‘What do you want and why do you want this?’ I want to be able to allow more prosperity into my life and help others that have health issues. Why; Because I get a great feeling of self-satisfaction when I help someone. Allowing more prosperity into my life, would allow me to do this more often; And, when I get a good handle on “the art of allowing” more prosperity into my life, I will be better able to help others to allow more prosperity in their lives as well.

Prosperity to me is letting go of the limiting beliefs that keep me from feeling, giving, and appreciating the beauty of this world, and from receiving the love and many gifts of this world, in its many forms.
September 15, 2009 at 10:24 am
Karen D.
My “unique, personal, definition of prosperity is:
Being free to be me! In the past I lived my life pleasing everyone; mother, daughter, church, jobs. Always putting everyone and everything before me. In doing so, I lost myself.
I am a creator and I have a direct connection with God who teaches me everyday. He has imparted so much wisdom in me that fell by the waist side because I was focused on pleasing someone at that time.
I remember everything God has told me in our private times and now I am allowing him to guide my life.
I am a Fashion Designer and a singer/songwriter who has spent years hiding behind a computer working contract after contract as a web developer.
Every time I get settled in the “new contract job”, my inner voice would sigh and say “when are you going to realize who you really are.”
Then the contract would end and I promise myself, once again, that I am going to follow my heart. But the bills come and my bank account is low, then doubt and fear sets in and start focusing on the next contract.
The funny thing is, every time I focused on another contract, it would come to me quickly and the cycle started all over again.
On August 28, 2009 the web development contract has ended for the last time and this time, armed with the knowing and my knowing knows that I have stepped into the life that I came here to live.
My bank account is low, the creditors keeps calling but within me I have a strong feeling of well-being and I know that everything that I have ever asked for is right outside my door and all I have to do is maintain a high vibration of abundance, take the inspired actions, and the door will fly open and I will receive the unlimited, pressed down abundance that has been trying to get to me.
God told me that HE will make my name great, and you know what I believe it.
‘What do you want and why do you want this?’
I want to be the Wealthiest Woman In The World! because God told me I am.
Then I will travel the world spreading the truth and helping people in secret.

Prosperity — to me this means no longer having financial survival be a continuous focus of (and drain on) my energy. It means having confidence that there will be enough so that my needs will be met. It means having my energy freed up for the creative work that I believe is what I have to contribute to others. My needs are simple; I want to change my mindset so that fulfilling them is a given.

Day 1:
‘What is your unique, personal, definition of prosperity?’ and
‘What do you want and why do you want this?’
My definition of prosperity is an experience of the material world that allows an empowerment and ability to choose and access a fulfillment of purpose and joy of the experience of this life time on Earth.
It helps to free this experience from limitations.
It allows flow because the ‘what’ is never hindered by the ‘how’.
It is a generosity because the experience of joy is felt by sharing and must necessarily touch the lives of those around us.
Thus it is also an expression of love (the infinite) accessed through the material (the finite).
I want to experience the empowerment of freedom and choice, joy and safety that I believe prosperity brings.
I want this feeling of safety to bring the peace that allows me to open my energy to all the other blessings of love, passion, fulfillment and function.
To be an active, participating agent in my own life’s purpose.
To live with Flow.
The freedom to know that neither those I love nor myself will ever again have to suffer hardship or illness as a result of lack of prosperity. The rest, as ever, will always be in the hands of the gods.
I am grateful to Spirit and the Universe for the opportunity and guidance to this time and place.

It’s a very interesting question. In looking at my definition of prosperity I saw that my definition of abundance and prosperity are different. I have focused on abundance, which to me includes everything: money, material objects, love, etc. And abundance I got. I have lots of stuff (many of it hand me downs, but still…lots of it), lots of love everywhere, and have created lots of money. But I have also created lots of expenses as well.
Prosperity to me is a bit different. For me prosperity is only success related (whatever success is measured by in that culture / time ie how many pigs, how many children, or in this time / culture how many dollars). So to me it is an ever increasing net worth (assets minus liabilities) along with ever increasing cash flow.
The reason I want this is because I want to have the freedom to focus on my children, on my family’s health, on my family’s connection to each other and to others, and on what my family can do for others.

Prosperity is when things flow, when things fall into place, when you are happy, when you feel free. Free to do what you want to do and when you want to do if. Prosperity is when you feel connected to everything (to upstairs, yourself, downstairs, your passions etc.). Prosperity makes you feel alive and wanting to wake up in the morning and have a go at life.
What I want is all of the above because it IS the way it is supposed to be in the first place.

My unique definition of prosperity is Freedom to follow my heart ,
without any limitations, freedom to experience every moment in joy
I want to set up a huge multi media internet portal with a twist ? and move to Yucaipa California (from the netherlands) from where we (my wife daughter and me) create great music, books and Joy!
I am a entrepeneur and I want to set up one big company that serves people all over the planet. Together with my wife and youngest daughter I want to experience this from the beauty and excitement of southern California because I always feel great when I am there..and we love the climate, we love the way of life and we love the mountains.

For me prosperity has everthing to do with the freedom to choose. My choice is the freedom to live a life which is expanding in all areas of wealth, health, family, personal and spiritual capacities. it is about having the time, wealth and energy to experience and live my passions daily. For me true prosperity means tapping into the source of of life increase in any area i choose at any time at will, only for the highest good of myself and all others involved.

To me prosperity is being completely in the moment and loving it. Where every I am, with whom ever is with me, celebrating life, being thankful and appreciative of the gifts we bring to the moment. No judgment, just acceptance, respect, peace and joy…. then love will be present.
I want this because relationships are the only thing that really matter. Everything merges from the relationships we have including the relation ship we have with God.
September 15, 2009 at 11:14 am

To me ‘prosperity’ means the condition of living whereby you feel free to make choices and are not restricted by money, having it, needing more of it or setting out to acquire it through work that is difficult, mundane or comprimises ones values.

My unique personal definition of prosperity is first of all being debt free. From a financial standpoint to have enough money that I never have to worry about how I am going to pay my bills not only today, but in the future; and to live a comfortable life where I can travel when I want to without working incrediably long hours inorder to do so. From a personal sandpoint to love myself and my partner uncondtionally and to accept unconditional love graciously. I want this because I believe this can bring more balance into my life and reduce significant ammounts of internal stress that not only effects myself, but also my partner and everyone that I can come in contact with.
Thank you for this prosperity!

my definition of prosperity is complete freedom, in every aspect of my life.
The freedom to live in my ideal home in my ideal city. To live a healthy, active lifestyle. To be surrounded by loving, positive , active people.To have a wonderful, joyous relationship that enhances both of our lives and enables to do great things as co-creators. To have a wonderful career that i love and enjoy and wake up every morning eager to get to. To have automated systems in place that allow the business to run with minimal direct involvement from me if i choose. To have the money to tarvel where and when i please, to be able to help my family and to invest in exciting,positive business ventures that bring me joy and are a positive experience for all involved. my prosperity is only limited by my ideas and imagination and it grows to encompass my ever increasing life experiences and the desires that these place into my future experience.
So what do I want and why do i want it ?
I choose to move back to denver because this is where i have been happiest.A lot of my friends are still there, it is a beautiful, active city where i can ski and snowboard, bike daily , go to great restaurants, art galleries, museums, bars and clubs.It has great sports teams and I can also play soccer, visit the gym and swim , as well as visit the mountains and hike, golf and enjoy their natural beauty.
I choose to live in a beautiful loft in the lodo area, beacuse this is right in the heart of my favourite part of the city.A big open floor plan place with room for a pool table, close to the cherry creek bike path, big floor to ceiling windows, amazing views, lots of light. it is a large, unique space with some unique features, a big deck/balcony , a fireplace for the cold winter months , with great neighbours who are fun, positve people.
I choose grow my internet marketing business to making seven figures a year in profit, to have fantastic people in place that i can outsource work to and the business can run without my direct input if i choose. I love my work and can be as involved on any given day as i choose to be. I create fantastic articles that help people to live their dreams and have great lives.My business is truly a win-win situation, the more people i help to have great lives and businesses, the better I do.
I work closely with my brother , and have a great family life, I buy a place at la carabasse in france and spend some lovely time with the folks every summer. They visit denver and I go back home a lot , and it’s great to have them as a big part of my life.
I have some fantastic friends. A lot of my friends still live in denver and we just pick up where we left off, I also have some new people come into my life who are fun, active, positive, joyful people that are following their dreams.
I have a fantastic, loving, passionate, joyful, creative relationship with a beautiful, sexy girl who is on the same path and we are perfect for each other. We both know it and there is no need for any games or messing around. We have attracted each other at the perfect time in our lives. We both know it and love each other and love being together.
I go up to the mountains regularly during the winter, I play soccer regularly at the weekend and at the bubble in the week. I also get involved in coaching which i find very rewarding and lots of fun. I bike almost daily, and have a great gym that i go to a lot.
I have a great looking , strong body that is easy to maintain, I cook great fresh foods and eat at great restaurants, i drink a lot of water and my diet is healthy, balanced and provides me everything i need.
I find myself easily attracting great opportunities and experiences in my life.I live a happy, healthy, balanced, spiritually centered life and every day miracles occur.
it really is my dream life !!

Prosperity is about having strong, pure relationships in our lives. For me, that includes my relationship with my authentic Self, my soulmate, my horses, my work, my beautiful clients, my family & friends, nature, the Earth, Spirit, and money. Appreciating money for it’s support and generous, loving ability to bring all of my heart’s deepest and most true desires into the physical world, is the highest expression of who and what I love most, hold most dear.

My definition of prosperity is having an abundance of resources in money, time, freedom, health and love.
What I want is allowing abundant resources to release me from my 40 hr a week job. A fresh chapter in my life that thrusts me into the world with money, time, love, appreciation and freedom. I want to live with my husband and son in the community of our choosing, close to family. In our dream house that I enjoy decorating.
Why do I want this. I enjoy spending time appreciating. I want more time to appreciate. I want to settle into a place where I am feeling and knowing “the easier it gets, the easier it gets” Where I can with spontaneous effort – send rockets of desire and joyfully anticipate the unfolding of them. I want to change the world by allowing.

My definition:
Feeling safe, secure, present and great about the “essence” of the life I am creating, a sense of belonging when I choose it, with others and the universe.
Financially comfortable such that I can lean into it, know it wil be there to support me every day, week, month,
KNOW that I can manifest and continue to manifest a growing consistent of financial resources, that I can both use, or invest in things with, and see grow.
Being able to make choices that are most most valuable to me, like working with amazing people I can’t get enough of, doing activities I love, learning and being in community, encouraging and being encouraged, and knowing that is always there.
To be a deep deep well of strength and tenderness to give, receive, connect in love.
$7-10,000 in recurring revenue that comes no matter what, and still have time in my life to be there for me kids before and after school, be healthy, in food and sports, deepening my spritual practice, and connection with totally nourishing, sustaining communities.
prosperity for me is such that I am living comfortably, generously, spending less than I make, trusting count-on-able flow that and being able to invest my heart in great work making a difference

Prosperity is being able to do what I want, when I want to and with whomever I want to.
It is making decisions without considering the money attached to those decisions. It is
Being able to be generous with myself and others.
I want to be able to live my life the way I choose without it being dependent on money.
To me this is the ultimate freedom.
September 15, 2009 at 12:08 pm

People in my life who love me and who I love wholeheartedly. Great health. Strong connection to the Divine. Never having to worry about paying bills. Being able to travel any time I want to see my kids. Being able to travel anywhere I want any time I want. Laughter and joy in my life always. Making a difference in the world.

Prosperity for me is freedom to BE. To live in the moment, to satisfy my needs, the needs of my family and circle and know in my heart and head that all is well. It takes a village and my village has been hurt by this years turbulance. I want to be the grandmother, caretaker and nurturer of the people I love and be the woman I am. Life is a circle and as I have been taken care of so I want to take care…strength of purpose, the ability to give, the home to share, the finaces to spread around…prosperity is a livng thing and I want it to flow through me.
I want independance, the ability to work with purpose and the knowledge that I am able to be and care for the people of my lifes experience. So be it!

Prosperity for me is realizing that I live in a universe of abundance where there is no lack of any kind. The choice of how I live has been given to me therefore I choose to live life and be free.
September 15, 2009 at 12:36 pm
Rev. Janette McClelland
‘What is your unique, personal, definition of prosperity?’ and ‘What do you want and why do you want this?’
My unique and personal definition of prosperity is:
prosperity
noun. continuous freedom. spiritual, personal, and financial. continuous freedom that fills my cup and overflows into the saucer. Prosperity allows me to serve from the saucer. Prosperity is sourced from an abundant universe. When I ask, it is given. It is my job to do the earthly and spiritual work to receive it.
What do I want and why do I want it?
Specifically, I want to have the money to pay off my home. I want it because I want the feelings of security and bliss that come with this certainty: it is my home and no business or government can take it from me. I have a permanent residence on earth from which to base my work, my play, and my service to community.
September 15, 2009 at 12:41 pm
Catherine PHILIPPE
To me Prosperity is freedom and independance. It is to give to make people happy and their life better. It is to enjoy all the wonders of the planete, traveling, eating, being with people I love. It is enjoying what I am doing and contributing to people’s well being. It is living in a place that feed my spirit. So it is, so be it, so will be
September 15, 2009 at 12:47 pm
David Z
Prosperity for me is living my life with joy and authenticity. Having all the material resources to assure that those I love and care for are provided for. To live in the knowledge and trust that what I need , when I need it is there to support me in my service to others. Sharing my love and services to make the world a better place.
To truly love and live a courageous, light-filled life.

susie Q
What is my unique, personnel definition of prosperity.
Prosperity means to be in a state of allowing. To allow all that is alignment for me to flow through me. In my allowing I allow the true essence of who I am to receive all that I am. In that flows the right relationships, the financial freedom I seek, and the natural state of joy and self love that would be ever present.
What do you want and why do you want it.
I want to be able to see beauty and meaning in all that I am and all that I do. To be able to stay in a state of joyfullness and playfulness. I want to keep me in alignment with the greater part of myself and in doing that I know I can create what ever it is I desire, whether it be the matieral needs I desire or a feeling state. I want this so that I can be a living example to myself and all that surround me of how we can all be our beautiful lights in a body.

‘What is your unique, personal, definition of prosperity?
Prosperity, to me, is more than absence of lack. It is the vibrant fullness of plenty – the abundance that pours through every avenue of life. Prosperity is not just filling needs but filling healthy desires and sharing the plenty with others. Prosperity is the richness of loving relationships, thriving health, monetary wealth, and the time to enjoy the beauty and harmony that can fill each moment.
‘What do you want and why do you want this?’
I want to be debt-free and stay that way. I want this because debts are an obligation of my resources and they indicate that I have been living beyond my current means.
I want enough money to allow me to spend my time in whatever way fits my Life purpose. As I write this I know, really, that my life purpose needs no special outer container so that’s not a truth.
I want to fulfill my current responsibilities and obligations beautifully and completely. I also do not want any more dependants once these ones are competent to walk their own roads.
I want to savour spontaneity with friends, share deep thoughts and swift wit, learn about new things, travel fresh roads.
In all these wants, however, there is extreme gratitude for everything that I currently have. I so love Life!

Prosperity to me means living with freedom to live my life to it’s fullest expression.
Living my life with TIME and RESOURCES to express my creativity…my gifts to the world ,to enjoy the pleasures and wonders of the world, to travel as I like, have leisure time with family, nature and friends. Having the resources and time to extend beyond myself to be of service to others. Living in a home that supports me well esthetically and provides comfort for body, mind and spirit to all who come there. The perfect place and community to provide my work at the highest level possible. Stepping into each day with an open heart, letting all my relations soar with joy!
All these things to be defined in the Prosperity Game precisely.
Why? Back to the definition…to enjoy life to it’s fullest!

To me prosperity means overflowing abundant freedom to move about life in a space of trust and security. It is the ability to have abundant experiences and opportunities for joy and love.

Prosperity for me is having what I need, when (or before) I need it. It is health, loving relationships, a prosperous business and all life affirming elements of a happy life. // I participated in last year’s edition of this process too but feel more aligned with making a breakthrough this time.//
This morning I hopped online early to try to troubleshoot a problem with my laptop. If none was found I was prepared to drop it off where I’d been quoted $75 minimum to get it fixed. Prior to doing my research, I saw the opening e-mail from choosing prosperity and decided to visit the site. Once there, I decided to play the Money Game. Upon receiving my first check for $100, I “spent” it by giving $25 to charity and allocating $75 to my computer repair. Imagine my joy, then, at surfing for answers and finding one which fixed my computer with 4 steps that less than five minutes! So, on Day 1, I received a benefit in saving me both coin and time and trouble. Yes, I will make the most of this 30 Day process!

For me prosperity is about feeling that I have more than enough of everything; feeling that I have sufficient income to be able to do whatever I want and to be able to take advantage of any opportunity (I intend to double my income this year). Prosperity for me is also about having great friendships (which I do) and good health (which I do too). It’s also about appreciating that daily (which I sometimes forget!!) and believing in an abundant Universe.
September 15, 2009 at 2:39 pm

My personal definition of Proseperity is having total freedom to have, be and do what I love at any time. Experiencing Joy, Love and Happiness and being able to share it with my loved ones.

Sandra
My personal definition of prosperity is The feeling of happiness and security during every moment of my life, it is the result of positive growth and abundance in all aspects — money, friends, health, it is the condition of enjoying that wealth, and success.
What I want is for my life to coninue in the now, to be awake and aware, to allow the flow of love in all I say and do. I want to give my life to this flow and allow it to manifest for my highest good. I want clarity of spirit and purpose and I want always to be aware of the oness of all there is.
Why I want the above is because I have found when these things are present in my life, I have all I want in material, emotional, spiritual gifts.

prosperity. to me this means becoming a beacon of light to which all good things effortlessly flow – in abundance – whenever i desire. with no effort, no practice, no reminders and no “exercises” needed. it means never needing to hold on to anything – any source outside of myself – because i know with certainty that “there is more where that came from” – on any given day, in any given moment. and always. it means becoming so clear about who i am…my true nature…my divinity…what i am capable of and what i am here to experience, that i remain a clear channel for all that is to flow effortlessly and gracefully and lovingly into my life. it means being so in the flow of what i KNOW is already waiting for me (in vibrational escrow as abraham says), that i need not guess or worry or wonder what is going to show up in my life next because i already KNOW. and i KNOW because i am creating it in every moment with my wonderful vibration that i am able to maintain, if not always, then, at least, more consistently than not. prosperity means absolute freedom (including peace of mind) and absolute joy. – suhailah

Eric Goldstein
Prosperity to me is abundance in all areas
of my life… health, wealth, happiness and
relationships!
What do I want? I want to have a residual
income of 10k per month coming in. I want
to know that all of my expenses are taken
care of, and that I have the money to do the
other things in life that I want to do.
Why do I want this? I want to have the feeling
of ultimate FREEDOM in my life. I know that I
am free to choose in every moment, but I want
to wake up everyday choosing to do with my
day as I desire. I want to spend my days
inspiring and empowering other entrepreneurs
to play life BIG!
I am COMMITTED to play full on in this 30Day process:)

To me my definition of prosperity is the continuous influx of the things needed to attain and maintain a happy, healthy, wealthy life. This includes health (physical and mental), wealth and the ability to have an income that’s more than enough for all my needs and desires, a working computer, love, friendship, things that allow me to be as independent as possible such as a car and a computer.
September 15, 2009 at 3:22 pm

Prosperity is a completeness of having everything plus some that I need in life which includes my family having their needs meet too. This completeness is of love, family, friends, financial and good health.
I want to know the partner of my love life that will remain with me for the rest of my life. And to know that I have not settled for any love less than I myself will give this person. I want my sons to be healthy and wise to complete their life in a purposeful way. I want to be more active and contribute to my overall health and fitness. Additionally, financially I want to double my income from first half of 2009.
Why I want these wonderful events in my life is so that I can feel alive with excitement and joy that I can share with others, to show that you can have these and be an inspiration to others with the gifts that I make happen.
September 15, 2009 at 3:25 pm
Karen
My definition of prosperity is having the time, energy, money and good health to pursue my many interests. I imagine being debt free. I imagine having plenty of money in the bank that I would feel secure and safe no matter what happens. I visualize my home business producing enough income that I feel comfortable leaving my “day job” which presently pays the bills and offers other valuable benefits. I would like to truly develop “trust” that the universe will indeed provide for whatever I might need. I believe this intellectually, but sometimes (oftentimes!) it is difficult to translate that into a deep emotionally connected belief.
Prosperity is have the LIBERTY to go where I want, when I want; do whatever I want; spend quality time with friends and family; having more leisure time and time to travel or just sit and “be.”
September 15, 2009 at 3:43 pm
Elaine
Prosperity for me is more about how I feel than anything else. I might feel exhilirated behind the wheel of a great sports car, but I can also experience that same exhiliration from hitting a golf ball perfectly, or laughing so hard with my boyfriend that tears fall and I can hardly breathe. It’s something that can’t be taken from you.
September 15, 2009 at 3:46 pm

Prosperity is fulfillment. Knowing that what I am doing is part of the grand plan for my life and I am achieving the purpose I have here on earth. It is having someone who is my partner in this plan and we love, support, encourage and help each other to achieve the purpose set for our lives. It is having money not just to meet the needs but to enjoy some of the wants as well and especially being able to help others who are in financial need as well.
September 15, 2009 at 3:48 pm
Lisa Rossetti
What is my unique, personal, definition of prosperity?
Freedom of choice; being able to develop and grow; to share learnings with others; to move freely across the planet; to spend time where you want with whom you want doing what you want when you want. To be a student of peace, making a contribution to human potential for peace unrestricted by usual money worries and commitments.
A life of giving, learning, travelling – a life where each day is full of unrestricted opportunity.
Inner growth, releasing creativity.
Freedom from time/money syndrome.
What do I want and why do I want this?
My health restored, a health thyroid and healthy weight loss – so I can regain joie de vivre, have more energy and walk in the hills again.
House with garden – for growing fruit trees, and seeing grandchildren running about
Winnebago – to travel and go to extraordinary cities, meet wonderful people, see and celebrate this beautiful world.
Villa in Pyrenees with a wonderful view – to relax and write, to muse, to rest with my husband, to drink wine – maybe to grow it!
A writing contract for a magazine – I love writing and want to share my writing with others, especially travel writing bringing new respect for diversity and the potential for human peace.
A studio for painting, paper-making and felt-making – I love to express myself creatively, and these are the arts that I have put on hold for over 20 years. Being prosperous means I can do so many enjoyable things and share these with others.
There are many many wonderful courses to enhance my coaching practice that I can participate in – and then use my insights, learning, skills to enhance the life of others. Prosperity gives me those opportunities.

I want to add, for me having prosperity would be that income that is more than enough for all my needs and desires. Having all my bills paid with money left over every month. It would be having a computer that worked well, a car I can drive (I’m disabled, and I’m on SSI as my only income), a home that is in good repair. Proper health care for me and vet care for my animals. Being able to afford to return the favors friends and family have done for me, and to be able to do unexpected acts of kindness for them, too. Being able to go to places independently (the car and the money.) Always having enough money to get what I need at the grocery store.
September 15, 2009 at 4:11 pm

Properity for me is learning to let go of all the things I can’t control and worry incessantly about. I am a very stressed out person and I need to learn to relax. So my kids have a funner more relaxed mom.

QUESTION: ‘What is your unique, personal, definition of prosperity?’ and ‘What do you want and why do you want this?’
ANSWER:
1) My unique definition of prosperity is when I am living, breathing, and BEING my Passion as money truly FLOWS from ALL DIRECTIONS with ease, joy and complete love. Prosperity is JOYFULLY GROWING in Abundance in ALL KEY areas of my life: Life Purpose, Helping the Planet, Assisting Human Beings KNOW themselves, EXUDING UNCONDITIONAL LOVE AND ACCEPTANCE in ALL that I AM.
2A) I want a growing, thriving business where I am co-creating effortlessly with SOURCE and my LOVE (Jared). Our clients transform by our beingness, presence, and unconditional love vibe!!! Our successful practice actively engages people to co-create and author their lives.. instantly finding themselves and basking in the LOVE which is THEM!! Both a healing process and a releasing process. Our clients cannot wait to PAY us because the monetary investment is the least of what they can do for the transformation and ultimate life experience.
2B) I want this because I want to allow people to love themselves and know themselves. Ultimately, I would love for all people to know who they really are and why they are here.. TO LOVE and BE LOVE, reducing the suffering on this planet.

For me, prosperity means having enough money on my bank account to allow me to leave my unfullfilling job, and start a personal business in a field that really motivates and interests me. Besides that, I want tot be able to fill my days with multiple activities that are much more fullfilling and rewarding, such as travelling, learning piano, sports, etc … I would also like to meet new people in my life who share all my interests.
September 15, 2009 at 5:17 pm
Chaela
To me there is no one thing that defines my personal sense of prosperity. Prosperity springs from a strong sense of self and inner courage…defined by good boundaries and the willingness to state my truth. It emanates from within and yields a life of connectedness…everything in its place…needs met…learning from everything and everyone…flow and waves…high tides and low tides….all is well in each tidal state…when the tide rushes in, everything around me is bathed in nutrient rich energy, bringing a sense of renewal and ease. When it flows back out all is cleansed…rhythms persist, allowing the dance of life to continue. When challeneges arise, I grow, even though it may be chaotic for a bit. When they abate, I am grateful for the learning. A timeless “All is Well” statement infuses me with each breath.
September 15, 2009 at 5:31 pm
Roseann
My definition of prosperity is having a complete feeling and ability to be free. Not only would I feel free to be, but I would have the courage and financial support to do and share all the wonders in this human life. I am prosperous when I am completely healthy and if I am not, I am completely in alignment with the health that is coming to me. I am prosperous when I provide support to my family, friends and myself and feel supported spiritually, physically, mentally and emotionally. I am prosperous when I can take a moment and appreciate how blessed I am. As I say a this, I realize I am already prosperous. Life can only get better and better. I am surprised. What I have written was not the thoughts going through my mind when I began to write. Thank you, me.

Prosperity is being able to have the freedom to say yes! I can buy it now if I want to. I don’t have to say – some day, or can’t afford it or any of that. It’s not about having millions. It’s about having enough. Being comfortable. Being able to take a spontaneous trip without analyzing. It’s being able to enjoy anything I want to enjoy-now! Having Joy in every moment and being able to share that joy with others too.

For me, prosperity is a state of consciousness that includes an experience of freedom, living without fear, and being able to create what I desire when I desire it.
I am creating $24,000 in 24 hours as a reflection of my current state of being.

Prosperity is an inner knowing that all I have is all I need and there’s more on the way.
What I want – To double our monthly revenues and to attract, allow and accept perfect clients easily and effortlessly.
Why I want this – This will solidify our financial situation and position us for growth AND
It would be a tangible expression of my marketing efforts and would feel delicious and rewarding AND
Would allow me the freedom and space to pursue my spiritual calling and work on my book/research/product.
I can’t wait for all this and something more to show up….

Prosperity to me is the feeling that everything will be all right. That I am exactly where I should be doing exactly what I should be doing. Prosperity is ease and grace and trust. Joy and Elation and freedom are all part of my prosperity too. Wings to fly with the ability to appreciate those wings and pay for them too ; )
What I want and why
Right now I want money from a position that is right for me, or, from unexpected sources –so I can pay down my debt and keep my home and have my sense of freedom, generosity and safety back.
There is much more I want but this is my top priority!
Thank you for doing this ; ) xxooo Mary

Prosperity to me is true peace of mind. See, you can have millions and still be stressed out and consumed in lack. If I have peace of mind, I can manifest ANYTHING. It also makes me more likely to enjoy what I do have.
Having true serenity in any situation is real abundance to me. Don’t get me wrong. I love toys, great food, etc., which can also represent prosperity but the peace of mind comes first.
Freedom is a related definition. I think they go together.
And WHOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! The first day of this experiment I manifested an amazing gift from the universe that is a true, creating peace of mind financial blessing! I know this is the start of good things. I feel FANTASTIC and so, so blessed by the Universe and loved. Onward and upward!

For me prosperity would mean the freedom to enjoy the people and activities that I love while knowing that all of the practical things are taken care of. I will know I am prosperous when I can care for all the members of my family with ease and simplicity; when I can give love and care to friends/strangers as well; when my time and energy are spent primarily on creative and loving acts/experiences; when I can tend to the health – mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual – of my loved ones and know that “the best I can do” is exactly the right amount of what is needed. Abundance of love, laughter, energy, simplicity, creativity, music, dancing, art, creation – that is prosperity to me.

QUESTION: ‘What is your unique, personal, definition of prosperity?’ and ‘What do you want and why do you want this?’
Prosperity to me is the state in which I can with freedom express my passions and live my desires. It is a means in which I can explore, learn, grow, serve, and receive. Prosperity is the vessel to which there is fullfillment and joy. Prosperity gives me all the opportunities my heart and spirit desires. It is a means to transform my dreams to reality. Prosperity is the release of the ball and chain that hold me down and behind.
What do I want and why? If I could have a magic wand waved over me or ask the genie to grant me my hearts wishes, it would be I want to be financially independent. I don’t have to be ridiculously wealthy. I simply want to have no debt. I want to be able to use my finances to help others, to travel, to go to mission fields, to enjoy and explore my time here. I know that with financial freedom will come one of it’s pleasing benefits and that is the benefit of time. Time to spend with those I love, time to be healthy, time to explore and grow and share. I want to be and express the desires of my heart and why? Because everything within me tells me that its my calling. My ultimate state of fulfillment.

For me prosperity is being able to maintain my modest lifestyle without having to drag myself to work and back everyday. Without having to abide by a schedule designed by someone else. Prosperity is being able to spend more time with my family without feeling pulled at both ends. Prosperity for me is time. time to do the things that make me happy. Time to visit loved ones without the scramble to visit and complete everything I need to do on a weekend because that is the only time I have the freedom. So put simply, I would say that prosperity is the time to experience joy!

For me prosperity is peace, ease of living and a belief that I have choices and options available to me. it is not a thing but, a feeling that all is right with my world. And the knowing that when there are things in the world that are not peaceful or easily attained, I just need to focus a bit more attention to them and things will work out or perhaps it is just not the right time or the right thing and I need to let go.
Prosperity to me is knowing, believing and having Peace in all areas of my life.

Having a loving, supportive, stable family and homelife. Each day I work in an environment where my passion for learning and living is fulfilled. Iam able to use the talents and gifts God has blessed me with to work with others. I am living my full potential. I continue to grow spiritually. I am a multi-millionaire, my family’s needs are met, I am financially secure. I am able to help others, both monitarily and with my expertise. I enjoy an abundant lifestyle.

Prosperity is the feeling of well-being, creative “firing” in all areas of my life. It is eagerness to start the day, joyful music, laughter and connection to those around me. It is looking back at the end of the day and feeling satisfied with the balance, with financial wholeness, with the variety of contributions to the world and those about me, physical wellbeing, spiritual connection. and restful sleep.

Prosperity to me is Joy, doing everything I love to do and financial freedom. The feeling of joy to me is such an awesome thing, and I would love to be able to feel it all the time. I would love to do everything I love to do and go to places that make me feel one with the Universe. Financial freedom would let me do all the above plus help others.

To me, prosperity means not having to worry about anything. It’s constantly knowing that everything is taking care of, it is being able to trust that anything we need has already been provided to us. It is also being grateful and sharing with the world.
What I want is to be able to live worry free and know that everyhting is taking care of. This will allow me to enjoy more of life instead of worrying about how the next bill will get paid. I want to free my time so that I can spend it with the people I love and doing the things that I love. Thank you for the opportunity.

‘What is your unique, personal, definition of prosperity?’ and
‘What do you want and why do you want this?’
Prosperity is having enough for me and my family to live comfortably not worried about bills and the ability to save for the future and some to give away. Prosperity is about feeling comfortable and satisfied. Being prosperus in all venues and genres; ie: monetarily, love, passion, health. I want to feel expansive in all areas of my life. I want to be able to give back and not feel like I’m shorting myself. I want to make 45K per year or more; and I want to do without selling my soul to corporate greed. I want to save money for retirement. I want to fix my house/yard and get a new car. I want to give my children money for college. I want to pay off all my debts. I want to go to school. I guess for me being Why do I want it? I know that worry about finance causes me much stress, and I’d like to–need to get rid of that. A happier me is a bright light in the world. I deserve to be happy. I deserve to be successfull. I am a bright light.

Prosperity for me is being able to live a life full of joy and abundance surrounded by the people I love and sharing the bounty of my life with everyone.
What do I want?
I want to be able to practice as a health counselor full time and help people understand themselves and grow healthy and balanced.
I want a solid loving marriage/partnership with a mature man who is loving and supportive.
I want a home that is full of light and love and laughter and is a sanctuary for me, my beloved and others.
Why do I want these ?
That is what is calling me within. To be there for others and share my life on many different levels; in my practice, intimately and as part of a community. And by sharing in these ways, thru the ripple effect, sharing globally and universally.

Wendy (The Prosperous Artist)
Very interesting! I’ve asked these kinds of questions many times, and I have a long list of “wants” that I’m familiar with. But when I looked inside I found very different answers than I expected. In a sense, I feel there are two different “me’s” who have answered these question – the ego “me” who wants a lot of great stuff – and a quieter, more peaceful me, who I’ve come to think of as the “real me”, who just wants to be here now and be at peace in every moment.
Real Me wants peace, joy, appreciation and gratitude for all that is, connection with my inner self, higher power, and other beings. She wants to be the best me I can be, a source of love and joy for others. (She doesn’t actually “want” *anything*, because she already *is* all these things and knows it. She has no need for wants, because wants are about the future, and she’s always in the now.)
Ego Me wants a big bank account, financial freedom, massive passive income from making a profound positive impact on the lives of millions of people, helping everyone who wants it to make a prosperous living doing what they love. She wants the great relationship, family, big beautiful home, world travel, lots of great courses, perfect health, happiness, a clear, focused, powerful mind, a stunning body, the latest technology, and close friendships with high-powered people. She wants to be one of those high-powered people. She wants a competent, inspired team to do the work. She wants to write books and make viral videos and reach everyone who needs her help. She wants to be a world-class singer. More specifically, she wants to be a Queen of Harmony. She wants to have fun all the time. She wants to laugh a lot and make others laugh.
She wants plenty of love, affirmation, and attention from others. She wants to feel good about what she’s doing and the difference she’s making, and she wants others to feel good about it and to tell her and each other.
Oh, and she wants to be three or four “me’s”, because there’s way more to be, do, and have than she’ll ever have time for. Just think what a whole team of me’s could accomplish and experience!
Here’s the funny (paradoxical) thing I saw. My experience of life so far leads me to believe that if I let Real Me run my life, it’s likely that most of what Ego Me wants will happen organically as a result of that. And, it’s also clear to me from years of letting Ego Me run the show, that Ego Me is unlikely to get much of what either Me wants.

Prosperity to me means to have enough money to pay the bills forevermore. And enough left over to travel the world, buy some luxuries and do some good in the world.
What do I want and why: I want a thriving private practice in my new venture, I want my husband to find a job, I want to be able to give my children some peace of mind about our finances. I want the stress of of going from $100 bill to $100 bill to go away.
September 15, 2009 at 9:03 pm

My definition of prosperity is: an ongoing experience of being in flow that includes all the following components – noticing all the ways I am supported, appreciating being in flow and receiving many happy “coincidences”, receiving abundant income for my work, and having a home, friends and health that works well for me.
What do I want?
I want our home to feel put together and in flow. I want my relationship with Barbara to be friendly and loving. I want to receive a raise to at least $75,000/year ($4800/month) by January 1, 2010. I want plenty of fun time with my friends. I want authenticity in all my relationships. I want to fully “own” my work and serve in my organization with expertise and joy.
Thank you for doing this. It comes at a time when I feel open to succeeding.
September 15, 2009 at 9:36 pm
Becky
To me prosperity is having all my needs and wants met easily and the ability to give to others generously. Having all my needs met means my bills are paid in full and on time and I have no credit card debt. It means I have enough flow (money in the bank) to spend on travel to places I want to visit and things I want to surround myself with. I am doing work I love and am paid well for it and respected by my peers and colleagues. I have a thriving jewelry business — where I create fabulous unique jewelry that is collected worldwide and I travel and teach others how to design and craft their own jewelry.
I want this because I believe God wants me to be successful and enjoy life — being successful is having my dreams come true. As my dreams are realized, two things happen: first I’ll dream new dreams and go after them and second, I’ll be a testament to others that if they believe in their dreams, they’ll come true, too.

Prosperity is a culmination of many forces…. Luck (or fortune), clarity, open-mindedness, love for self and for others, and peace all work together to for prosperity. I feel that monetary and physical gain are simply a bi-product of this comprehensive set of forces. The physical materials only show up when the intangible forces are in place.
I want to be independently wealthy so that I enjoy the freedom and luxury to travel, create, conduct research, explore, and realize all that intrigues me. I want enough time and money so that I may help others and live my life the way I originally intended it.
September 15, 2009 at 10:04 pm

Prosperity is being happy and fulfilled, by feeling connected to others in close relationships. It’s trusting others and being trusted in return and sharing honestly and intimately my feelings and experiences and hearing others’, without letting fear or judgment block the process.
It’s being relaxed on my journey in life and feeling safe in the knowledge that I’m Ok, everything is Ok, and everything will be Ok. It’s a feeling of incredible safety and faith in the “All-Rightness” of things, of my choices and of my actions.
It’s about feeling connected, safe and secure.
It’s also about freedom – being free of debt, and free to travel and not work for periods of time.
I want a few friends that I feel very close to and who feel very close to me. I want a partnership of mutual love and intimacy. I want inner peace and safety – freedom from my harsh inner critic and constant worrying about my choices. I want a job I love, freedom to take time off, money to travel and no debt.
That’s prosperity to me.
September 15, 2009 at 10:10 pm

Prosperity is having enough in your life that you don’t experience “lack”, but rather a bit of overflow in health and vitality (and energy), financial wealth, love – mostly love. This includes family and friends, feeling I am contributing in a positive way to my community (the world) and that I can easily choose to be generous without feeling pinched to be so. So this indicates a flow to prosperity (in and out), vs. anything stagnant. And I love the feeling of (a line from musical Oklahoma) “everything’s going my way” and I just keep leaping from one joyful experience to another. Yeah, that’s prosperity.
So, this is what I want – all of the above! To share with those I love, to travel and have adventures of my choosing (I have an EXTENSIVE list of adventures to start from!), to enjoy just being “home” as well…I could go on for a very long time! But let’s get started.
Shucks, forgot to say WHY I want this: well, yes, to be the joyous being I came here to be! I’m ready for enough stability to choose where I’m headed before I find myself already headed somewhere else and needing a huge course correction.

Prosperity is being open, committed, and vulnerable. To live in abundance, love, and to follow my passions. I want to be healthy in my body, I want to devote more time to Momentum, to be in contribution..
I want a sincere, loving, commited relationship. I want to be independently wealthy, with a large increase in sales in my business. I want these things in my life so that I may have the time, and pleasure of sharing myself with my children and my family.

Prosperity, ah, feeling Prosperity in my body, originates in my heart and
radiates, pulses, moves, spirals outward into my life. The feeling of being flow, effortless connectedness..experiencing thriving generousity
What I want is to enjoy being a student to the hilt. Watching the money come into support the family while I am learning the new, reaquianting myself, remembering, enjoying all while excelling at my studies.
Attracting into my life new people to work with and teach. Enjoying the adventure of finding a new car and watching how the universe delivers it to me. How fun!!!

My definition of prosperity is the experience of freely allowing money, things and positively–charged feelings and experiences in abundance into my experience
I want to live my life easily, lovingly and with complete health while serving others in making transformations toward living their lives more consciously because I have felt guided by a force from within myself for most of my life to make an important and positive impact on humanity, which will feel to me as though I am both living my life’s purpose and that all that I have experienced in my life has lead up to this work, which freely and easily supports my beautiful, spacious and loving home and an abundantly satisfying lifestyle.

Whew—this is along one….
Prosperity is – what do I want to do be or have right now – and I do it, be it, and have it – right now. Prosperity is – I LIVE without fear, lack, or limitation, and I am centered in love and light. I can buy whatever I want when I want it, how I want it. I am in the flow and loving it.
Prosperity is – I feel peaceful and content and I have large Love, great joy, good food, good sex, great family and friends that I enjoy until the day I pass on, music, great hair?, even better body!, fun, rich experiences, plenty of time to myself, plenty of time for family and other passions, luxe luxury, lovely simple things, great health, beauty, great parties, real friendships, passions, passive income, travel, and I am living a whole life – I AM LIVING LIFE FULLY. Bills are paid easily and I am responsible with my finances.
I am authentic and I LOVE who I am. I am being myself all the time, boldly, passionately.
I feel vibrant, alive, and sexy . I am just fabulous. I am petite, thick, and curvy, and my man loves it. I still look 23. The love of the Universe radiates from my heart and I am literally glowing.
Prosperity is hugs from my baby, kisses from my man, cooking with friends over bottles of wine, fat bank accountS, time for classes and teaching, long Christmas vacations with all the trimmings, gifts, and silly rituals, walks in the sunshine, drives along the coast – but now in a Mercedes, long holidays in Africa, Paris, Greece, Brazil…, expensive bamboo flooring and amazing furniture for my awesome apartment, humble thankfulness, sincere giving, butterfly gardens, and spa vacations for the whole family – gifts for strangers, living my dreams, and helping other to find and live theirs. Mmmm…I am hotness personified? whew – I look good, I feel good. I give good. I love good. I am loved good. I am a Goddess – watch me roll….
Prosperity is knowing fully God’s love and sharing that love with the world and the Goddess within.
Prosperity is loving the moment now while all the great stuff above shows up.
Why do I want prosperity? – I want to be a Beacon of Prosperity, getting everyone moving to follow their dreams so they can live prosperous too. I want to be God’s little model of prosperity – a living breathing mannequin showing off how awesome right thinking is and wonderful God is.
To rehash some especially good ones I read here:
“I love my work, and work because I love it, not because I have to. Clients come to me via word of mouth, I don’t advertise. I feel blessed to be fulfilling my purpose on this earth, helping others reawaken to their incredible magnificence, experiencing joy in their lives.” YEAH!!
“Money flows easily and effortlessly to me, and I share it with others as easily. I am fulfilling my dream …the more I give, the more I receive, so the more I have to give!” Amen.
Thanks so much for doing this Elyse. I feel something big and magical is going to happen soon….

Prosperity: To know at the center of my being that I have what I need, want,desire in all aspects (financial, spiritual, physical…) of ones life. Although you can be prosperous in one area and not another. Or, at least feel you are. And if you feel you are then you are:)
I would like to have greater financial prosperity so that I can persue, more prosperity in other areas of my life. To not be on the wheel trying to make the next dollar. But, be able to enjoy the journey more. To help take others on their journey as well.

La prospérité, pour moi, c’est l’énergie qui circule: donner, recevoir, avoir la paix, avoir la quiétude d’esprit et la joie de vivre. C’est d’avoir sur ma route tout ce dont j’ai besoin, au bon moment.
Ce que je veux: être capable de me procurer tout ce dont j’ai besoin pour réaliser mes objectifs, tout en m’amusant. Je veux être en mesure de payer le nécessaire (loyer, bouffe, etc.), la formation et les équipements requis pour la publier mes recueils de poésie, les soins de santé / beauté, les déplacements ainsi que le remboursement de mes dettes, sans avoir à déployer des efforts surhumains ni avoir à me casser la tête.
Je veux ça pour être bien dans ma peau, dans ma vie et dans la vie en général, pour avoir le sentiment que j’ai du pouvoir sur ma vie, pour m’offrir ce qu’il y a de mieux pour moi, pour ressentir de la paix et de la liberté, pour avoir du temps libre et pour aider mon prochain, pour réussir ma vie et dans la vie.

Prosperity is abundant supply, unlimited supply with all my needs; psychic, spiritual, mental, physical, emotional, material, financial fulfilled, so that I feel free, grateful, blessed in all aspects of my life. Prosperity is demonstrated in my beliefs, attitudes and behaviors because the giving and receiving creates an infinite flow of good in, through and as me.
I want to befriend money, cultivate a loving relationship with it that can be sustained, deepened and strengthened through mutual respect, trust and acceptance. As I grow to love money more graciously, I attract, invest and share more, so that I am supporting women’s revenue-generating projects throughout the African Diaspora, thereby supporting the community, economic and educational development and empowerment of African people around the globe.

Prosperity to me is the sensation that all is right with the world; it is the combination of relationships, basic needs, financial security, and most of all love in my life.
I would like to have a thriving, sustainable business that is based on a system I create that works to provide me the flexiblity and income I want. I also want to put my own happiness first. I want these things because to me they represent a healthy, balanced life experience where I can continue to be grateful for what I have and overflow with joy for the gifts that keep on coming!

Mr. Webster says prosperity is the condition of being successful or thriving; especially: economic well being. For me, personally, this is also true but additionally I desire to be successful and thrive in my communication, all of my relationships, my spiritual growth, my understanding and patience, my physical well being, also to find a wonderful life partner. The way I carry myself in the world, to experience and share joy.

Prosperity to me means the freedom to choose what I want to do, where I want to go, how I want to spend my time. It’s creating a nurturing, beautiful environment for myself and my loved ones, without a doubt that the resources will be there.
What I want is to be free to choose what I do, where I go, how I spend my time. I want to be totally backed/supported in everything I choose to do. Money is a huge part of this, but it’s not just about money. An abundance of love and fun also feels prosperous.

Prosperity feels joyfulled. There is a feeling of satisfaction in knowing that I create it as I desire it. It is a feeling of freedom and whimsy. I love the fun that I attract when I realize that I am properious. It is fullfillment in all areas-relationships, health, money, personal satisfaction, growth.

Prosperity to me is knowing/believing/EXPECTING joyful, abundant experiences in my life and appreciating them as they occur or are on their way. Whether it is a large sum of money in a bank account or a beautiful sunset, it is all prosperity to me.
What do you want and why do you want this?
The simple answer is to intentionally manifest $1,000 in an unexpected way by the end of this experiement. I want this so that I can strengthen my knowledge/awareness of how to consciously create.

I’ve given this a lot of thought over the last few years. For me, prosperity is simply the ability to have, get, do, and give what I want when I want without financial constraints or concerns. It is freedom, empowerment, and peace in this area of my life.
I want to be living at this level of prosperity in my daily life so that I am living this experience of freedom, empowerment, and peace – both inwardly AND outwardly. Without my current financial concerns, I would be a happier and healthier person on all levels, and I would be in a position to contribute a lot more to the world.

My definition of prosperity is:
Being ONE with the Universe in a sense that I have fully mastered my connection and vibration. A situation where I am at peace. I love every moment I am given on this earth. I see beauty in all. I have all the abundance I could ask for. I want for nothing because I have all…I am relaxed enough to tour this large beautiful globe with my three babies that I brought here. I want too see the world with them and live the life we chose to live together long before we came here…..freedom for our family to be the best humans we can be.
September 16, 2009 at 12:26 am
Sandra
My definition of prosperity:
Prosperity means abundance in all areas of my life – friendships, good health, successful career, fulfilling extracurricular activities, excellent finances, powerful spiritual growth with a strong dose of gratitude to top it off. It means nver having to worry about lack of anything and “knowing” that all will be provided with certainty. All is being fulfilled for my highest good and that of others in a complete state of well being.
What I want:
I am now attracting supportive, loving and active relationships with people who have resources and are just as capable of giving as receiving.
I am an engaging, insightful and powerful teacher, well known author and professional speaker sought after by intelligent, spiritual people interested in spiritual growth and self improvement around the world.
I attract clients from a wide range of interests and personal values to my work.
I am never at a loss for business and I am barely able to keep up with the demand for the spiritual healing and intuitive counseling services I offer. I am flexible and fluid with other services and insights I can provide.
Clients equally recieve great abundance of wisdom and support from working with me and learn to develop their own gifts. Together we are a synergy of unified learning.
I want to truly learn to come from a place of unconditional love for all people at all times.
In terms of material goods, I would like a 3 bedroom, beautiful house in a nice forested setting in a safe neighborhood in the mountains with easy access to a major metropolitan services in a warm climate and at least a 2 car garage. The house will have abundant equity with it and never be a financial or other burden.
I would also eventually like a new Honda Element.
I would like to earn a 6 figure, or more, income annually starting this year.

Prosperity is abudance in all areas of my Life. It comes from commiting to myself and my dreams. It is financial freedom with a residual income that comes from creating a distribution network.
Why? So I can live fully, joyfully, healthy, creatively, spontaneously, adventurously, intimately, supportively and follow my passions. I can travel the world, live comfortably and give to charity. By doing this I can inspire and show others how to do the same.
September 16, 2009 at 12:44 am

Prosperity for me is feeling comfortable knowing that no matter how much I spend/use, there will always be enough – no worries.
I want to live & work in a clean, well organized space. I want to work with ONLY my ideal clients and be able to travel the world quickly and easily. I want to help women work their way out of poverty & ill health. I want to spend more time feeling peaceful and help others to do the same. Why? – because it feels good – light & airy (as though a great weight was removed).
September 16, 2009 at 1:00 am
Therese
Prosperity for me is the experience of total freedom and deep fulfillment. It is knowing that all of my potential is being expressed with minimum interference from fear, doubt and worry. It is being uninhibited in thoughts, words and actions, having absolute trust that the Universe sees me, knows me and helps me to flourish and expand my consciousness so that I am more closely aligned with it each day. Prosperity is joyful surrender to the big life the Universe envisions for me.
September 16, 2009 at 1:05 am
Eliana
Prosperity for me includes having plenty of money and a great feeling of sufficiency and well-being. It also includes fabulous health, an abundance of time to enjoy life and do creative things, a feeling of purpose, a circle of close and wonderful friends, a beloved – in short, an experience of truly enjoying all that both inner and outer worlds have to offer.
I want a beloved and independent wealth because I then can do – with him and on my own – all that I want to do in this life: create things, travel in whatever manner I choose, write, dance, be generous, build an earthen home, have an orchard and garden, follow whims, and most of all thoroughly enjoy my inner and outer life and all of the worldly things that please me.

Prosperity for me right now is knowing that enough money is always flowing into my life. It is a feeling of “Relief” to know that there is always enough to pay my bills, to share with my friends if they need help. Prosperity for me is being in a position where I can help some deserving souls out with their education. I look forward to the days when I can once again joyously celebrate my “wealth and riches” and entertain my friends with luscious home cooked meals in a beautiful environment. I am always grateful for the prosperity that I now have in health, friends and in working in a field that brings so much joy and passion into my life.

What is your unique, personal, definition of prosperity?
Prosperity to me is a knowingness that I can be, do or have anything my heart desires … that I am creating everything that happens to me therefore I can create a feeling of abundance in every single moment, regardless of how it appears on the surface, for I know the truth behind it. Prosperity is a feeling of love and fullness that permeates every cell of my being and naturally overflows out into the world thereby creating wonderful experiences. Prosperity is the ability to have fun in the present moment with whatever is presenting itself and know it as it’s true essence … Love. In a word, prosperity for me is LOVE … Love of self, love of others, love of life, love of my unique offering to the world, love in the form of money and resources, love of cool experiences I get to enjoy. Prosperity is being in the flow of life and enjoying the ride as it is all one big game!
What do you want and why do you want this?
I want a complete knowingness at all times that I am the only true source of my experiences in life and to trust 100% in the Universe to work out the details for me. I want to release “control” and live constantly and gracefully in the flow of life. I want to get out of my own way and allow my true essence the freedom to express itself. I want all this, because as much as I have ever-increasing awareness and appreciation of this, I still realise I am on the journey to fully KNOWING this without doubt. I want to fully and completely trust the process and let go of anything that is interrupting the flow of my life, to live life from a place of love and knowingness 24/7. To trust that the Universe has my highest good in mind, and that anything I could possibly create on my own by “controlling” things is incomprehensibly small compared to what the Universe can deliver if I only just allow it to.

Prosperity is synonymous with freedom. Physical prosperity is the physical key that unlocks the prison door and gives wings to your spirit. Spiritual prosperity keeps you outside the prison walls forever.
I want this freedom. I want the wings for my spirit. I want to soar over mountain tops, shred the clouds, gather the stars in a butterfly net and shower them over new parts of the world!

True prosperity and abundance, is the image/feeling/experience to be who I wish to be in any given moment; being true to me. Feeling flow, joy in my creations; mothering and work as a writer/motivator. To be able to freely travel with my seven year old son, yes a holiday would be a treat. To drive a brand new VW beetle; to own our own house, to have a wonderful partner by our side is our dream.
Abundance would mean greater exposure for my writing; I’ve sold over a thousand of my first book ‘I love myself’ for children, to sell the next 1700 and go to a reprint would be grand. To have a signed agreeement for my next children’s series would be a blessing. For advertising sponsorship for the sequel to I love myself, this is what prosperity means to me. Having the self worth and true love for myself to follow this through; this is the uniqueness of what prosperity means to me. Thank you.

My idea of prosperity is being in a positive relationship with money and wealth, family, and community. To be free financially and personally. Personally free with my love, gratitude for my family and the love I have with and for them. Financially free to have no debts, to do what I want and go where I want without concern for how it will be paid for. To live with no concern for the future of myself or my family.
I have the personal component to my dreams, I am missing the monetary component. I have worked a long time to get to where I am and I want to complete that journey and be at a place of financial freedom to live the dreams I have and want.

My idea of prosperity is to have an abundant resourvoire of time, money, and energy to continiue to do my work which is coaching and writing. My intention is to finish my book by December, send it to an editor and then begin the journey toward publishing. During the journey, I intend to meet a wonderful, loving, intelligent and compassionate man to join my kids and I on this incredible gift, called Life!

prosperity is having my needs met emotionally, physically and spiritually.
knowing there is more than enough for everyone.

Prosperity for me amounts to being able to do what I want to do without it feeling like work. There is much ‘work’ I could do that would improve life for many if someone would ‘pay’ me to do it. For years, I’ve struggled with making money and doing the work I want to do. I want to do the work I love and have it support me.
I want to be able to amass huge amounts of resources for the projects I see as important such as alternative power for my small community, a wetland project to protect our local creek, an exercise room for community fitness and so on.
For me, prosperity is the freedom to help my community and fellow man without having to worry about who will pay my bills.
I want to be able to do whatever is necessary, travel, rent meeting rooms, make long distance calls etc. to bring this stuff together. What if I need to pay for a year-long wind study? That kind of thing.
I also want to be able to continue to grow myself through educational experiences and courses. The more I develop myself, the better I can serve the community around me. I volunteer about half the time I spend working and my bank account shows it. I’d like that to change.

What is your unique, personal, definition of prosperity?’ and ‘What do you want and why do you want this?
I thought about this all day yesterday and I did not get a chance to comment until this morning as I was really busy yesterday. I believe that prosperity to me means every aspect of my life. In a monetary sense it means having the money available to me to do the things in my life that I need and want to do. To be able to help someone in need when they need it. To know that at all times I have this available to me and it is not a second thought eg. do I have enough? I always know there is plenty and plenty more where that came from. In my personal life it means loving strong encouraging fulfilling relationships. Ones of mutual respect, love, admiration and sharing. In my spiritual life it means giving back, being a peace with self, connecting. In the arena of health, I want vibrant, unending health. I want to always wake up feeling amazing, my body completely in harmony and alignment and never again utter another word that indicates anything may be wrong with my body. I want to wear the clothing that I love and and answer questions from people who say “what are you doing to look that great and be that healthy”. There is more but that is the gist.
Why do I want this? Ultimately true happiness, security and peace of mind. I want a sense of fulfillment and serenity. I want an excitement in my life that a new day has begun knowing that all that I want to accomplish is possible. I want each day to be without fear or concern or worry not only for myself but for all those I love and care for. I want it so that I can give back to my parents who so lovingly have taken care of my interests for years. I want it because I want my days to be predominantly answers and solutions and a sense of relief all the time. I want to be invigorated when given a challenge and be able to find the solutions quickly and feel awesome in the process. It is easier to express all these things in my mind I must admit but I want to participate in this experiment so much so I am writing it out the best I can.

Prosperity to me is living in a constant state of well-being that surpasses the logical mind. It is being able to spend my time working at what I love so much that it no longer is work, but it has become play. It is deciding for myself how I am going to spend my day which includes both my time and my finances. It is the ability to be worry-free when it comes to finances because I know there is always more than enough. It is being content and present in and every day and still accepting the abundance that comes in every day in all aspects of life and being able to share with others to help them in all aspects of their lives and knowing that God is using me for something much bigger than myself. These are the things that I want because it is my belief that it is my purpose during my time here on Earth and beyond.

Cathy Norris
My personal definition of prosperity is to always have the money to do what I truly want, from my heart, as well as to live in the way the most nourishes me physically and spiritually. The money is there for me because I am continuously attracting it through doing what I feel led to do that provides value to others, through following my mission.
I want steady, regular income. I want it so I will feel abundant, supported, and generous to myself and in providing top value to others through my own abundant and strengthening resources. So I will feel “good things” in all senses of this term flowing to me and to others as well. I want it so my thoughts will be on creating and serving rather than on surviving. Finally, I want it so I will feel freely happy.

Prosperity to me means having all that I need to live a joyful, healthy life free from debt and anxiety and negativity. Having prosperity in love, financial abundance, joy, ease of life, physical and emotional health, healthy relationships, living with compassion for myself and others, and fulfilling my goals, desires and using my talents to the best of my ability.
I want prosperity because I want to be free. I want prosperity to free me from financial limitations and fear that holds me back from living up to my true potential. Ultimately I want to be financially and emotionally prosperous so I may give back to others some of the love and support I have received from so many throughout my life.

‘What is your unique, personal, definition of prosperity?”
Prosperity to me means being abundant in all areas of my life. It means living a happy life that produces enough income that I can do things with my money that will make me happy, and make others happy. It means my reason for existence is to live happily ever after.
“What do you want and why do you want this?”
I want to be in true alignment with who I really am, connected to my inner being/Source energy. I want to accomplish many more of my desires with a lot less effort, and have more fun in the absence of struggle. I want to be able to do anything my heart desires without thinking about the cost. I want to feel so abundant I am totally free to give generously to others because I know I have more than enough to share. I want to feel grateful and appreciative for everything I am blessed with. I want these things because my intent and reason for existence is to live happily ever after.

Prosperity to me is abundance all ways- experiencing spiritual abundance that manifests physically as well.
I want to retire, not to have to be concerned about where my money comes from each month, to work only when I want to, not because I have to. I am so blessed in that I do work I love- and I call play- and I want to work only because I choose to not because I have to. I am clear now that I want to play in sunny places in the winter- such as San Diego and Arizona- and play, explore, create, laugh. I want a beautiful man that I share life with- we inspire each other to be the best me and we. We laugh and enjoy each other and this beautiful world. Love surrounds us. Why do I want this? Because I believe that is why we are here- to be the best we can be and to enjoy this beautiful life!!!

Prosperity to me is a life process. Not one of attainment nor of acheivement but of letting go…or peeling off …or shedding one boundary at a time…and by boundary I mean anything that diverts one from being in sync with the Universal. If you truly are in sync with the Universal Energy, I believe the rest just falls into place.
I want to Prosper ….in the sense I mentioned above…that way I can live fully more and more each day and do what I was put on this Earth to do…

To me, being prosperous means thriving, overflowing, having all I want and need and more, with plenty to share. It means a continuing state of growth and happiness. It’s not just material objects, but a deeper trust that everything is alright. Like a wellspring, it is an ongoing flourishing of wealth, love, and goodness.
I am a best-of-both worlds kind of girl. So being prosperous means specifically that I have at least two homes, one in the city and one in the country, with plenty of room to share with others. It means I have plenty of money for my Foundation to provide for many – grantmaking at its best. It means being socially active and well-regarded; there’s time for everything and everybody that I love.
The word prosperity reminds me of that dream that many of us have had – we open a door in our home and discover there’s a whole wing of the house we didn’t even know existed. Whole new worlds and experiences to discover that were there the whole time, we just didn’t realize it.
Thank you for this opportunity to share our focus with others. I believe that 1+1=much more than 2…

Prosperity to me is being the most that I can be on a physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental level. It is dancing through life with maximum efficiency while using minimal effort. It is living a balanced life that is based on healthy loving relationships with myself and every other living thing I encounter. Prosperity is love.
So to live love I will be kind to others, respectful of who they are and where they are at, I will not speak negatively about anyone including my self. I will always look for the positive and visualize potential for being all that they can be. I will embrace my ability to do this and remain humble, genuine, and flexible to flow with where the universe wants me to be. I will live in the moment and be completely present.
I will begin this belief system right now and I will incorporate it into my being. My financial prosperity will be reinvested into this practice so that space and resources will be provided thereby providing me with the honour to share this belief with those who are ready and willing to reconnect with themselves so that they can see that they are beautiful individuals because of their sense of belonging on the planet to fulfill their unique purpose.

Prosperity to me is living in complete abundance. Feeling the connection between mind, body and spirit to manifest excellent health, wealth and well being.
Why I desire prosperity is simple. Being abundant and prosperous feels good at a cellular level. knowing that my every need is met and living a life of abundance makes me feel complete. Vibrationally I am generous and open to giving more easily.
My soul purpose is to create an environment where creativity and energy play a part in expanding the lives of people who desire a higher vibrational frequency on a more consistent basis. I see myself as a leader in my field and intend to be a messenger for a bigger, stronger more expanded awareness.

Since the last EXperiment I have played the Game and found five gratitudes every day – looking back my life HAS shifted …paid off some debts, many new friends, work is better … my home is happier…. I have built up some 401K savings, plus my boat is well cared for and focus of deep pleasure and now also of attracted easy fun with friends. Three extraordinary sudden moments of utter well-being … now I want to be open to this more often = and all the time!
This 30 days – prosperity equals reducing my defensive/antagonistic reaction to certain colleagues who trample all over me if I let them … finding news ways to step aside and not let their energy distort me as a channel for energy love grace creativity and quiet work.
Prosperity also equals debt free, clutter free – letting go the past to have space for present joy …. and in due course free of the need to be on the corporate treadmill doing work for them… managers’ exaltation on my back …

Prosperity is having a partnership with the Universe and being in alignment with the deepest truth of my Being: I am an creative, eternal, unlimited soul and this planet is a playground where I get to play and manifest all that my heart desires and beyond my imagination.
What do I want and why do I want it?
My deepest desire is to serve and to fulfill the highest purpose of my soul, being fully awake and knowing the truth at a cell level. I want to consciously be part of the divine plan, in totalk acceptance, playing my role in total presence.
September 17, 2009 at 12:50 pm

Prosperity is like abundance-PLUS … abundance, plus the fact of continual, ongoing, incoming increase. At the moment I’m seeing my definition like this:
Prosperity = Abundance + Ongoing Income (Continual Increase)
While this can be, and is, applied to absolutely everything, for this Prosperity Experiment – for me, here, now – prosperity has to do with #1 financial ;and #2 material abundance. Because with greater emphasis on financial, I have greater choice in how, when and where to share – and I LOVE that!
As to what I want and why… ultimately, I want more money on a regular basis than I care, desire, or even want to spend, because of what I want do with it – secure ample retirement funds for both of my parents, myself and partner (should he arrive in my life sans such), establish a lifelong fund for my autistically gifted son (including his experiments, therapies/assistance, and his own chosen heartfelt gifting) and generously gift upon dear friends, whether they are currently present in my life or not. As well, I have great desire to establish a fund for families – especially single parents – so they can be the primary caregivers for their own children – should they choose to be so.

What is your unique, personal, definition of prosperity?
Prosperity is saying ‘yes’ to life, being open to the abundance, the richness available in every moment. Prosperity is loving life to the fullest.
What I most want is to be love and joy in action…being God’s girl in all areas of my life and helping other women to be their own expression of the Divine. I want to feel completely used for God’s glory. Erma Bombeck wrote: When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, “I used everything you gave me”.

Prosperity is the recognition that I am one with every aspect of creation and that to give and to receive are the same. In order for me to become aware of this truth at every level of my being, I want to experience the truth of my power to create and attract anything I desire in the universe. When I know with unwavering faith that I (that anyone) can enjoy any experience I desire, then I can give freely, without reservation or fear. When I can give freely, I will know that we are truly free in every way, and that to give is to receive is to give. At this stage in my current lifetime, I define prosperity as the experience of intimacy and interaction with loving and inspiring people, the ability to obtain what I want with ease, awareness that I can give freely, and complete awareness of my power, my talents, and my capability to serve the world and to use them with passion and joy. Prosperity is seeing the light and feeling joy in my interaction with all of life.
September 17, 2009 at 9:23 pm
Deb
My own definition of prosperity:
When I am feeling relaxed, joyful and full of trust, my life clicks, and things, people, and experiences that make my heart sing flow to me easily and effortlessly. It feels like a graceful dance that is beautifully moving as one with my own desires. At those times I feel truly prosperous.
What Do I want:
I want to continue allowing life to flow. As life flows, my heart feels expanded, and I can feel the light and love increasing in my life. I can feel my link with a community of souls, and my own unique, loving presence within that group. As those links strengthen, and my own sense of joy and love increases, prosperity feels natural and effortless. Pictures come into my mind of all the things I love, the people I love, and the things I love to do. I can feel them unfolding and flowing to me. My faith feels very strong, and there is a huge shift in my energy.

Prosperity to me would be to live the rest of my days as an enlightened human being in a state of perfect grace. What I want is an earthly companion that reflects the qualities of perfect grace and enlightenment. Never ever having to concern myself about money. Being able to share the wealth both monetary and spiritual with all I come in contact with. Why? Because I have been to hell and back…and the light is dawning of a whole new world.and I want to continue to be of service and be able to experience world travel beyond my wildest dreams. Have I said thank you, thank you…….

What is my personal definition of prosperity? Loaded question! Websters says prosperity specifically
deals with economic success; flourishing. How can I disagree? How does this translate for me
personally? I don’t believe I am so unique and unlike everyone else in the world. I want to have enough
abundance in my life in money, health, happiness, that I never have to worry how I am going to pay that
bill, buy those groceries, pay the property tax, care for my aging mom, fix the car, paint the house. I
want to be pain free, illness free, Heck I want that for everyone! So, people, let’s start vibrating and
get this show on the road! Elyse asks, why do I want this? Why wouldn’t I? Why wouldn’t anyone?
True, some people are never happy or satisfied. They keep on accumulating more and more stuff,
money, things, and are still empty inside. That’s another issue. Most of us, myself included, just want
to have enough to never have to worry, and to share with others who are in need. If I approach this
from a completely selfish mode, I’d say it would be great if I never had to work for money, I could do all
the volunteer stuff that I’d like, say, operating a foster home for homeless pets, I enjoy reading books
for the blind and physically handicapped, the possibilities there are endless! Well, thinking about it in
more detail, what if I never even had to think about how much money was in the bank? What if I just
wrote the checks, spent the money for whatever I needed or wanted and never even gave it a thought?
There is the ultimate “prosperity” to me! Can we all get there? I truly believe there is plenty to go
around for everyone and more where that came from! One of the stupidest bumper sticker slogans I
ever saw is that one that reads, “Live simply so that others may simply live.” My prosperity will not
take food out of other peoples mouths! Lets all have prosperity! The Universe is infinite, and will
provide infinitely. I believe that in my mind totally. I just have to get it to the vibrational level, that’s why I
am here!

Prosperity to me is knowing that there is now and always will be enough.
When I think I want something, I want the first question that comes to mind to be: “how does this make me feel?” instead of “how much does this cost?” I want to feel the lightness and openness of joy.

Prosperity: The art of knowing that whatever you need will come to you with doubt or fear. That place of knowing in your deepest part that what you have asked will come and walking in that knowledge instead of walking in double mindedness.
I send things out to the universe that grab them back and hold them tightly, with the false beliefe that no one can supply my needs other than me. I intentionally sabotage myself and don’t even know it.
this experiment will be for me…an experiment in releasing fully.

My definition of prosperity is complete freedom to be, do and have whatever I am inspired to in the moment. What I want is successful internet marketing businesses that provide me and my husband with sufficient passive income to provide this freedom. We travel the world and delight in the diversity. We own a beautiful home with a view and rent glorious places around the globe. I love helping others to do what I do. Life is rich.

My definition of prosperity is unending happiness and contentment with myself, my life, and my surroundings. I understand that it is not solely money that will make me prosperous in this life. It’s the belief that even in the down or low times I am still blessed with health, family, and a wonderful partner to share my love with now. But I will hold true to the face that with what I do professionally, money is a big key to it’s success and growth of my business. So for that matter my objective in this month is to completely quadruple my my money circle which will in and of itself multiply my overall prosperity thousands of times over. I am a vessel for financial success to flow through and with that success I will be able to touch many lives in a positive way.

Prosperity to me means global mobility. I am able to go anywhere in the world that I desire when I desire and wherever I am on the globe, I am prosperous. I have access to the best and finest of everything that the world has to offer. In addition, all of my financial obligations are paid in full before the due date and I have an abundant surplus for sharing and recreation. Prosperity also means great health and fitness for myself and loved ones. Prosperity means having a loving and committed marraige to a wonderful man who harmonizes with me perfectly and beautiful healthy children. Prosperity means being able to give generously to people and causes are near and dear to me. Prosperity means being able to appreciate the beauty of the world and my immediate surroundings understanding that nature’s beauty is a gift from the universe.

Prosperity for me signifies abundance in all elements of my life. While there are the obvious financial desires – so that I am able to do everything, and be everything I wish to be without worry about cost – there is also the desire for unconditional love, friendship and companionship, together with health, joy and fun. I want to be able to have sufficient physically and spiritually to be able to share the abundant wealth of the Universe, and in doing so am so very grateful to be taking part in the experiment with you all.

Prosperity for me is a tool to use to have lots of fun. I can certainly have fun for free, but the kind of fun that you have with lots of money can be different! Why do I want it? To play in a different way!! What a blast to be able to hand out money to people like you were handing them a flyer. What a blast to be able to hire anyone to do anything you wanted to have done. I personally would start with hiring a cook and a personal yoga coach. For me having money gives me that ahhh feeling. More freedom to move in and out of life without thinking about a budget. Freedom, yes my favorite word after sacred. Another reason for having money is it enables me to fulfill my 14 year dream of building a retreat center (how many of us have that dream?lol). It is going to have a prayer chapel right in the middle of it! Most of all I love the feeling of knowing that i have more than enough. You can’t help but move through life with ease and joy when you feel that way! And if something happens, something breaks, you need a new roof, no matter what – no worries you have the money! What a great FEELING! I am aligning with that feeling using this experiment as my tool. Wonderful!

Prosperity, to me, is the ability to not have to worry about debt, acceptance, health or heart. It’s being calm and living with purpose. My goal is to be non-dependent on anyone or anything. Income that doesn’t conflict with my heart and relationships that give as much as they get. I will be able to help those in need and receive the same when necessary. Prosperity is the art of being free of fear, worry, stress, and uncertainty. It’s living in a no-fear zone, be that financial, romantic, or self.
September 19, 2009 at 9:20 am

The freedom to be, do and have whatever it is I want to be, do and have. Financial abundance! No money worries! An abundance of love and friendship in my life. An abundance of opportunities to grow and learn to explore new and exciting things and places…travel…the ability to give without expecting anything in return. The ability to care for the people and animals who need care. Freedom! Freedom to be exactly who I am. Freedom of time. Never having to do something I don’t want to do just to make ends meet.

My personal definition of prosperity is living free from concerns about money.
For example, when the first of the month rolls around, it would be a day to simply pay the rent (or a mortgage)–there would be no anxiety, concern, gloom associated with handing over the money because I would be completely certain that there was enough and always will be enough. Prosperity = freedom to fully enjoy life without worrying about how much things cost or whether you should be working and saving instead of simply living and enjoying.
What I want is very simply abundant money and good health so I can travel where and when I want to and own a comfortable home to come back to

Being happy no matter what.
Prosperity is living my life to the fullest.

Prosperity to me is living in the relaxed knowing that all things and qualities I desire to experience will be mine and noticing and appreciating how and when things show up.
What I want is to be connected to the knowing that LOA is always working and to live my life and support others from that confident place of Truth. I want to live a life where what I desire shows up on time. I also want to be an example of how prosperity works from the inside out so I can be an inspiration and guide to others that are seeking this knowledge/experience.
Why I want this is to experience peace, ease, joy, and creativity and savor the beauty, fun and magnificence of this life experience (with others)!

Prosperity means GROWTH. I honestly believe that prosperity is all about the level of growth in which your soul is intuned and willing and able to accept, handle and approach that which is yours and you are now willing to take and allow clear concise abilities that will enable you to enhance the world around you. I want to grow if every aspect of my life my love, finances, health, freedom, and spirituality.
I want to experience this because it is what I was destined to do, to do better, and be better to the point in which it makes all who come in contact with me better. AND SO IT IS…..

Prosperity as it relates to me is having an abundance of health, wealth and love from family and friends, it also means being in service to others and giving back and/or sharing what it is you have with others. I want to be financially free, with the freedom to buy whatever it is I wish to buy without worrying about the cost of the item, to be able to travel and enjoy all the wonders of the world, to help family and friends without worrying about where the next dollar will come from. I want a healthy, physically fit body which will afford me the opportunity to enjoy all the wonderful things coming my way. I want loving, healthy and committed relationships with those people I love and care for. I want these things because they are the key to my internal bliss and success.
