Before setting out on your journey for prosperity, be clear on where you want to go. Paint a complete mental picture of what it is that you want to achieve. Be consistent in the image you formulate in your mind. And behind your clear vision must be the purpose to realize it; to bring it out in tangible expression.
A story is told of a shy young man who wanted to succeed. He saw an older man from his home town fishing. He mustered some courage and approached the highly successful old man and asked, “What is the secret to your success?”. Without saying as much as a word to the young man, the old man grabbed him and pushed him down into the lake. (more…)

Let us say two of your friends are moving house. Like a good friend that you are, you decide to help them with the moving. It is back-breaking work, one friend (Jack) is moving on Monday, and the other (Alex) on Tuesday.
After the move, Jack goes quiet for a couple of months. On the other hand, Alex sends you a thank you card, with a bottle of champagne and calls you for a house warming party. You realize that even Jack had a house warming party, only you were not invited. With all things being equal, who would you feel closer to? (more…)
Do you give more than you take? It is possible to have fair business transactions and yet give more than you take. The more seeds you plant the more your granaries fill up. We live in an amazing universe with an unlimited supply of riches in store for those who learn how to tap into it. (more…)
That which makes a seed grow also makes you rich. There is no higher power conspiring against you to keep you poor. It is God’s desire that you be rich. And nobody tells this story line better than prosperity preachers. They are inspiring and turn congregations into believers.
Prosperity gospel proponents stress the importance of thoughts in wealth creation. They quote all the right bible verses on why we should live in plenty here on earth. But they are quick to stress that the prosperity should be used for good. Riches should be used for increasing life not diminishing it. (more…)
We live in a thinking universe. Thoughts are the only way to produce wealth from the formless substance that exists in the universe. Everything you see around you is a thought. The formless stuff becomes physical upon thoughts. You become what you think about.
Man can form things in his thought, and, by impressing his thought upon formless substance, can cause the thing he thinks about to be created. (more…)
Money is the exchange of value. The more value you give, the more money you get. Does anyone have a monopoly on value creation and distribution? I don’t think so. Is there an opportunity for you to provide value to others today? Is there an opportunity for you to get rich through providing exceptional value to others?
Your becoming rich does not mean taking from someone else. We live in an abundant universe. There is enough for each of us. Not even your enemies can keep opportunities from you. (more…)
It is easy to assume that a rich person got rich because of their upbringing, opportunities, education, capital or talents. But the truth is that there are people with similar opportunities, in the same location, in the same profession, with the same IQ – one ends up being rich and the other poor. What makes one person rich and the other poor? (more…)
I have been rich, and I have been poor. Believe me when I tell you, rich is better. Being rich allows you to have freedom and flexibility to do what your heart desires. Even though there are problems that come with being rich, if you are rich, you get to arrive to those problems in style.
I have said on this blog previously that those who say that money cannot buy happiness (and are in good health), don’t know where to shop. The purpose of this blog is to inspire you to be the best you can be. Money can really help in personal development when used wisely. Money is power; the power to lead to the life you want; the power to develop your talents and make a contribution to others. (more…)
