In an overly materialistic world, prosperity is unfortunately and invariably associated with hoards of money and countless possessions.

To the truly prosperous person, being prosperous means being positive and happy in the moment.

Taoism extols the virtue of flexibility. What survives on earth is what effortlessly adapts to the changing environment and changing circumstances.

Compromising your integrity for money, power, or fame will come back to haunt you.

Your prosperity will grow to the extent that you do. Your feeling of prosperity may require that you overcome the fear of leaving a secure job for a less secure job, with less pay, but a lot more freedom. Fact is, feeling more prosperous doesn't necessarily mean earning more money. Sometimes it means earning less money.

Imagination allows you to think of the journey worth making. Motivation gets you started. But, it's patience and perseverance that get you there.
