When people ask me about my business, they want to know about my use of the term prosperous. Catherine Ponder, a Unity minister and one of my favorite inspirational authors, defines this term exactly the way I use it:

" You've heard much in recent years about positive thinking. Out of the recessions and lean years, another term has been born ; 'prosperous thinking'. The word 'prosper' means 'to flourish, succeed, thrive, to experience favorable results.'
You are prosperous to the degree that you are experiencing peace, health and plenty in your world. While prosperous thinking means many things to many people, basically it gives you the power to make your dreams come true, whether those dreams are concerned with better health, increased financial success, a happier personal life, more education and travel, or a deeper spiritual life."

This is a fitting quote for the economic times we are seeing in 2008. What makes it even more interesting is that it was written in the 1960's!

Take five minutes out of your busy day today and think about which one of the areas of prosperity you would like to work on. Then take one baby step to start your journey to a more prosperous life.
