Thankfulness, choosing a path of prosperity

Isaiah 42:16 ..... lead them in paths that they have not known .....

While prosperity, according to author workshop instructor Julia Cameron, isn’t about money, most people, when they hear such a concept, snicker or greet such statements with rejection.

Still, Cameron’s 12 week program has enabled people to identify an abundant life – green life’s garden. So, ask yourself the following questions. Has the acquisition of money or material items created a sense of prosperity? Has availability of money ensured sustainable human relationships – true intimacy? Cameron’s research identifies long-term sustainable relationships as a byproduct of honesty; and, in fact, such relationships are acquired without spending a dime!

 
 
So, make choices that 'green' life's garden, create a sense of prosperity!

Nevertheless, while a sense of prosperity may not be dependent on money, it is realistic to recognize acquiring debt can create a sense of anxiety. Cameron suggests we ‘count in terms of debt’ – identify what drives spending habits specifically avoid purchases of ‘big ticket’ non-essential monetary items. 

To avoid anxiety caused by debt, whether personal and/or professional, everyone should develop a plan: identify sources of sustainable income that insure an adequate life-style. For example, recently had a friend ask if I would meet with and advise a young person related to his life-goals. To make a long story short, this person had acquired formal education in one area of expertise, worked in another area of expertise; and as a life-goal, wanted to work in a third area of expertise. In other words, he was completely off track from a sense of self honesty, a prosperous life. What was his barrier? Fear of acquiring debt associated with required educational requirements. 

Still, the question remains if you were to evaluate your life-goals, would you be on track? In other words, have your chosen a path of prosperity, are you seen as a person who walks his/her talk, a person recognized for his/her sustainable relationships.

  1. Somewhere I have a copy of her book about artists, but I couldn't find it after you inspired me to look for it. I need to unclutter my office. Thank you for posting.
