One definition of prosperity is: freedom in time and space to do what you want or need to do, when you would like to do it and as you would like to do it. So, by this definition, prosperity isn't just money, though money may be one of the ingredients of prosperity. Someone may have money but not have the time or not have the health to enjoy the money. A truly prosperous person is free to use the things of this world with neither attachment nor aversion. Many of us don't feel prosperous because our desires seem to far outweigh our means of their attainment. Perhaps the way of coming into real prosperity is to release our seemingly endless need to accumulate one thing after another. Perhaps the prosperity we seek is really freedom. We want to be free from the pressure to accumulate money and things. Now is a good time to choose to be prosperous and free.
