Prosperity - Take Back Control of Your Life

The dictionary defines prosperity as a successful, flourishing or thriving condition. Most of us think about finances when we think about prosperity but I challenge you to expand your views to include every aspect of your life. There is no reason that we can not be prosperous in health, in our relationships with others, in our finances, in our work lives, with our children and family, and even in our daily contact with other human beings.

As we prepare to start a new year I encourage you to think about, ponder and plan to live a life of prosperity. Note that I did say PLAN to live a life of prosperity. The first and foremost key to becoming prosperous in our lives is to understand that we are in control of how we think, how we react to situations, how we respond to other people, how we interact in our workplace, how we deal with our children and our other family members. Yes, you and only you have control over these things. Don't get me wrong, I know that there are a lot of crappy situations that we have to deal with from time to time and often it seems like we are at someone else's mercy. But, just because you can't control a particular situation does not mean that you have no control. In fact, how you respond to any situation is only in your control.

When buying and selling real estate it has often been said that the most important 3 things to consider are: location, location and location. I would like to add that when it comes to developing a life of prosperity the three most important things are: attitude, attitude, and attitude.

With that in mind I challenge you to start fresh and start thinking not about what you don't have but about all of the blessing that you do have. Be thankful for every small thing that is given to you and you will be blessed with more abundant things. Share a smile with a friend or stranger today and watch the response. Most people will smile back. Understand that your attitude will have a significant effect not only on you but on every person that you eventually come in contact with. If you want to enjoy more prosperity in your life, in your health, in your finances, in your relationships, then understand that it all starts with YOU.

Take back control of your life and let this next year bring more prosperity to you than you have ever imagined.To learn more about developing a life of Prosperity you need to learn how all aspects of your life are affected and how they inter-relate.
