The road to freedom lies not through mysteries or occult performances, but through the intelligent use of natural forces and laws.
Dr. Ernest Holmes
Try this: Google the word prosperity and look at the first page that pops up. Look at the topic-relevant ads lining the side of the resulting search page. There is an abundance of ideas about what prosperity is and how to achieve it. There are all kinds of resources online, including articles in Wikipedia stating the various approaches of different spiritual traditions to prosperity. There are offers of coaching on how to attract prosperity, how to learn it, how to teach it to others, as well as on the secrets of prosperity and the secrets behind the secrets.
We need to be able to think clearly when wading through the volume of ideas and methods that are guaranteed to bring us wealth. I am beginning to make a collection of my views about prosperity. As I read through much of what is available, I look for points of view that I feel are superstition free and meaningful. I can never know for sure that my mind will stay made up the way it is today, but as I gather these ideas, I become better acquainted with what has resonance with my own ideas
What is your definition of prosperity? And what ideas from prosperity teaching do you feel 100% in alignment with? And what ideas do you reject? And why?

Journaling offers a powerful way to record your spiritual growth. Writing in a journal calls on you to be more conscious of the insights that occur daily in your life. It gives you an opportunity to examine your beliefs and be mindful of your choices.
Seeing Good At Work
I have been through the book three times over three years, and am starting it again. This is not because the material in the book is not working, but because it is working so well! The weekly lessons keep me on track and focused on what is actually true and important, and help me experience more good in every area of my life. LS
