How To Live A Prosperous Life By Not Focusing On Materialism

By Shawn Hunter


We have all heard about people having some serious problems in their psyche that professional help starts to become a need. This does not mean though that a person already has some mental deficiency. External stress factors like the environment and people whom one deals with usually can contribute to how an individual paves emotionally.

Those who have experienced the ups and downs of life may have questions that even experts cannot answer. One of them is how to live a prosperous life. Having a definite answer for this concern can be difficult. After all, we have various definitions about being prosperous. Some associate it with wealth accumulation. Others see it as emotional satisfaction.

Being clear on your personal definition of prosperity can spell a lot on how you want to achieve it. Frankly, how a person feels fulfilled is dependent on many factors like personal aspirations. What works for one may not have the same impact with that of others. If you are trying out things though, you may want to do the following.

Acknowledge the presence of challenges and problems, but do not center your attention on them. Problems and hardships exist. They are things beyond our control. Acknowledging that they exist is the first step to achieving resolution. But of course, one has to ensure that they do not let it flood their thoughts and succumb to all the negatives.

Give thanks to what you have, and even those which you dont. Common human tendency is, we give thanks to things that we receive, many of them material. However, we tend to complain a lot when we do not get what we asked for. The thing is, it does not work this way. God is not a vending machine. Sometimes, His answer is no. And even at that, you should be thankful because that would mean that there is something better up for you.

Share what you got to others. Feeling fulfilled and prosperous is not about how much you have. We have seen a lot of people still feeling unsatisfied amidst all the material possessions that they have. Why is this. Its not just because materials dont do anything to make you happy. Rather than hoard stuff, its way better when you start sharing them to those who need them.

Be careful on who you choose to associate yourself with. Bad company can corrupt character. This is why you have to be very careful about people whom you choose to be a part of the important decisions in life.

Meditate and pray for guidance from the Father. Last but the most important of all, spend some time to talk or pray with our Father. You can do this anywhere, anytime. Some term it as meditation. But either ways, asking for guidance can give you the strength you need to do things right and be happy and contented with what you have.

Prosperity may have varied definition from a person to another, but you have to check your own view. A lot of times your perception is the one entirely dictating your to act, which of course have a direct effect on how you feel about it. Spend some time in silence and assess your own situation.
