What is the meaning of prosperity for you? |

What is the meaning of prosperity for you? when we talk about prosperitywe immediately think of abundance in material or physical terms: having money, having relationships, having a promising career, having friends, having this and that.

But this belief reflects the unconscious tendency that the value of life is in the possession of resources in the physical and material aspects.

We forget, however, that for all this “having” to actually mean prosperity, it also depends on the quality of our mental, emotional and spiritual relationship with these material aspects and on the way we experience material life.

We can have it all, but if we are not emotionally, mentally and spiritually balanced, we will feel dissatisfied. This leads us to conflict, after all, if we have what we want, why do we feel empty and dissatisfied?

When we do not find an explanation for this discomfort, it generates more anguish, which we try, in turn, to remedy by seeking more of the “having”, which takes us further and further away from what can actually make us happy.

After all, there is no point in trying to satisfy a lack on the physical level that is on the internal levels.

Working in a bad mood, sad, irritated or tired is much more unpleasant and generally less productive than when we are minimally satisfied or motivated.

Everything seems to get more difficult, time consuming and heavy. Therefore, the materialization of work is much easier, calmer and more pleasant when we are harmonized.

Therefore, it is easier to realize that material achievements depend on how we are internally, and that they do not need to happen in a painful, sacrificing or strenuous way, it is enough to be more internally harmonized.

This does not mean that we will grow without work, effort or perseverance, but we can experience all of this with more lightness and fluidity, without so much harshness, without the tone of struggle, but as a game, an adventure, something to be enjoyed and not to be battled in the sacrificial sense.

The meaning of material prosperity is a consequence of the quality of prosperity at other levels and, therefore, the feeling of well-being and positive thoughts cannot depend only on external results.

The feeling of well-being and positive thoughts cannot depend only on external results

After all, the construction of material reality begins internally. When we let disharmonious thoughts and feelings take hold of us, all we do, apart from looking bad, is making material life more difficult.

However, to be prosperous we don’t need to be in a good mood 24 hours a day, without problems or smiling, but at least at peace and internally satisfied, because this is what will drive and move our actions, words, attitudes. Imagine that everything we do and say carries the quality of our inner situation.

If everything we do carries harmony, life tends to happen with less difficulties. Once again I repeat that this does not mean that everything always has to be fine, that we do not get in a bad mood from time to time, or that unpleasant things do not happen, but that in general we feel good about life, even that she still isn’t everything we want.

When we manage to keep ourselves more harmonized on the emotional, mental and spiritual levels, everything tends to flow more easily, even in material life.

But why can’t we maintain internal harmony?

When we say that someone is rich, we immediately think of a person with a lot of money. The meaning of wealth today is closely associated with large amounts, with the accumulation of resources.

However, when I think about the meaning of prosperity, the concept that comes closest to this term is precisely that of flow – and not just any flow – but a healthy and harmonious flow, the one that brings us what we need, when we need it.

Therefore, we don’t need to accumulate, because the natural tendency, if we are more balanced, is for everything to flow.

Accumulating exactly brings an energy of stagnating, blocking, making movement difficult, leaving the path cluttered and heavy, therefore, it contradicts the energy of flow.

Prosperity refers to movement, circulation, letting go so that the new can arrive and enter our lives.

If we hoard, hold, cling, and block the healthy flow, it can become deficient and unbalanced.

We often do not realize that it is precisely accumulation and attachment that make us block movement, whether in financial, affective, social, family life, etc.

Being too detached and not knowing how to save or retain what is necessary is just as harmful as accumulating, as it also unbalances the flow.

The problem is that we tend to get attached and accumulate or, at the other extreme, to detach ourselves too much by denying certain things – whether in relation to money, clothes, people, feelings, ideas – motivated by fear.

We want to have more money afraid that one day it will run out, we cling to an affective couple, to a friendship, to a job that we no longer love or that is not good for us, for fear of losing it and not having another one.

We accumulate things and people for fear of lack and this is one of the biggest blockages to prosperity, be it physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.

The fear of scarcity affects us emotionally, being fueled by mental justifications that, although totally plausible when we look at the outside world, are just reflections of the fear we already carry and fear on a collective level.

To make matters worse, we still leave aside faith (not only religious faith, but faith in life!), which could help us overcome the feeling of fear and negative thoughts to trust life and the flow. Thus, we allow ourselves to be taken by the scenario of the reality of fear.

Our internal harmony need not necessarily be conditioned by external things, although it is always affected by them.

Our prosperity begins to weaken when we place ourselves at the mercy of the external frame of reference to maintain emotional, mental and spiritual harmony.

We depend on situations, things, people and everything out there to feel good and think good thoughts.

Of course, we will always be affected by what’s out there, however, we have the choice to continue feeding these thoughts and feelings generated by external scenarios, or to direct them in another way.

Changing worldview accelerates the arrival of prosperity for you

Faced with a situation of lack, of course we will feel frustrated or dissatisfied. And looking at external circumstances – which show us that lack is generalized, that the situation is difficult, that we are in a financial crisis, that finding an emotional partner is difficult, that betrayals and separations only increase, that violence increases, that the job is difficult and the wages are low – just make us feel bad and afraid to live all that was punctuated.

However, we can choose whether we want to assume these scenarios as our reality. This becomes more difficult when we are already experiencing any of these situations.

But even so, we will always have the choice to accept that all this happens, but we don’t need to keep thinking and brooding in this perspective.

We can direct our attention to what we really want, even when everything out there seems to tell us it’s too difficult or impossible.

We can direct our attention to what we really want, even when everything out there seems to tell us it’s too difficult or impossible.

Staying focused on what is missing or what is not good is of no use, it just blocks our flow more and more, our prosperity.

After all, this disharmonizes our emotional, mental and spiritual life, crystallizing negative patterns and beliefs in them, which grow stronger as we strengthen them with negative thoughts and feelings.

It may be that we still haven’t achieved what we are looking for and that the reality in front of us shows us that we are very far from what we want. But the path is still there to be traveled.

Even though we are far away, complaints and regrets only make the path more painful. We will then think: “ah, but it is difficult. It’s disheartening to think that I still haven’t reached where I want to be and that there’s still a long way to go…

In fact, it’s not easy at all, but that’s precisely where the big question lies: not letting this discouragement take over.

And even if insecurity, doubt and everything out there insist on getting in the way, it is necessary to remain firm in choosing to move forward, no matter how difficult it may be.

In reality, the difficulty of moving forward is not due to the effort itself of what needs to be done, but due to the weight that is generated due to discouragement, insecurity and doubt.

It’s like the professional example I mentioned earlier. Sometimes work is not boring or difficult, but because we are discouraged and negative, everything drags on.

Lack of money and accumulating debts are indeed unpleasant, but the weight and fear depend on how we face the situation.

The lack of an affective relationship or the difficulty within a relationship seems unbearable, but our refusal and resistance to accept the moment of solitude or the partner as it is, makes the situation more sacrificing than it is.

Therefore, we need to be stronger than these feelings and thoughts, in addition to choosing to continue believing positively, no matter how things are not working out.

This does not mean denying negative circumstances, on the contrary, it is looking at them and accepting them, but without surrendering to them and continuing to believe in your prosperity.

And, of course, acting to change the situation positively on a material level, which becomes much easier when we have thoughts that bring better perspectives and lighter feelings.

So how about improving your thoughts and feelings, starting right now to build prosperity in your life? Realize everything you’ve already conquered and be grateful. Realize all the good, that even the unpleasant situations and people have provided you, and be grateful.

Realize that the path ahead may not be the best right now, but that happiness and prosperity are within your reach and you choose for them.

Thank yourself for opening yourself up to the positive in life, even when nothing feels good. Give thanks for the chance you give yourself to be happy, regardless of what happens to you out there!

If things aren’t flowing smoothly, then it might be time to ask some questions to move forward:

Could it be that my motivation behind what I want to develop is driven more by a real desire or by fear? Is my want something that brings me a good feeling or is it more associated with a feeling of lack and anguish? Is the way I’m trying to achieve what I’m looking for balanced? Am I trying too hard or too little? Do I have a minimum of joy and satisfaction or is everything always an effort and sacrifice, almost despair? Do I consciously believe and feel worthy that I can get where I want to be? Am I being realistic within my current possibilities in the step I want to take? If I’m taking chances and betting, I’m ready for whatever comes and goes like…
