Here's the thing about prosperity...many of us are misunderstanding what it actually is. Wealth is not prosperity and prosperity is not wealth. There are plenty of folks with lots of money that are unhappy...and plenty of folks with very little that are quite content. While true prosperity can bring wealth along with it...money is not at all its 'essence'. This is largely where we get tripped up... When we have no sense of purpose, life becomes lackluster. Not even money helps (at least not after the initial 'high' it brings along with it). Without a genuine sense of purpose, we struggle to get going in the morning, and we are unable to fall asleep with fulfillment. No matter how hard we work, nothing seems to change. Over time, it takes its toll. We try to fulfill ourselves with things which deep down we already know will not fill the empty hole in our heart. Eventually, the pain can become so profound that we finally dig deeper. As it turns out, there is a way to live with joy...with wealth...with LOVE...and tremendous generosity.
