Money Effects » peace http://www.moneyeffects.com How Money Affects Our Choices Thu, 22 Apr 2010 16:58:28 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 To Your Prosperity http://www.moneyeffects.com/2008/07/to-your-prosperity/ http://www.moneyeffects.com/2008/07/to-your-prosperity/#comments Mon, 07 Jul 2008 00:36:20 +0000 admin http://www.moneyeffects.com/?p=20 I’ve been intuitively guided to sign each of my posts with “To Your Prosperity.”  Asking myself the question of why this is, I find the answer in the different definitions of prosperity.

Prosperity:

  • an economic state of growth with rising profits and full employment
  • the condition of prospering; having good fortune
  • wealth from the old English word “weal”, which means “well-being” or “welfare”. The term was originally an adjective to describe the possession of such qualities.
  • success, good fortune, wealth
  • the condition of being prosperous; having good fortune; successfulness; affluence; riches; success

The opposite of which is “poverty,” defined as:

  • the state of having little or no money and few or no material possessions 
  • Poverty is deprivation, the denial of access to those things which make a life of dignity possible, including not only food, shelter and safe drinking water, but also such as ‘intangibles’ as the opportunity to learn, to engage in meaningful employment or to enjoy the respect of one’s fellow citizens.
  • The quality or state of being poor or indigent; want or scarcity of means of subsistence; indigence; need; Any deficiency of elements or resources that are needed or desired, or that constitute richness; as, poverty of soil; poverty of the blood; poverty of ideas 

My wish to all people has nothing to do with money — it has to do with an abundance of peace, health, happiness and well-being for all.  I can see where the definitions have aligned with this wish — can you?

To your prosperity,

Sue
