You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
Albert Camus
People live prosperously at all levels of income because prosperity is not about money; it’s about freedom and love. Prosperity is about the freedom to express life in your particular way.
Prosperity is also about happiness, and happiness is about generosity of spirit.
Generosity of spirit happens, for example, when you give more than you can afford to a project you believe in, and you feel good about doing so. The gift does not leave you feeling diminished; it leaves you feeling expanded and good. Or, generosity of spirit is when you show up for others when it is inconvenient for you to do so. Or when you serve an organization or in a project knowing that it is unlikely that acknowledgement will happen.
That is what living a prosperous life is like. Having a generosity of spirit. Living with happiness and freedom.
