Realization of lasting wealth and prosperity is to know that what wealth and prosperity means to you.

"To become wealthy & prosperous, you must feel wealthy & prosperous."

Wealth means many things to many people. To a person in the world of business, it might mean a net worth of $50,000,000. To a person more focused on the spiritual aspects of life, it may mean the attainment of peace of mind and a deep faith in the existence and powers of a divine being. Most people are searching for some sort of wealth in their lives and what follows are the time-tested secrets of achieving it. 

The first step to the realization of lasting wealth is to know that wealth means to you. What is it that your are searching for. Remember that happiness is not a destination but a way of travelling through life’s journey. Happiness is not an oasis that lies at the edge of the desert, a place that you reach only when you are prosperous. Study many of the greatest success stories of our time and they will say that they were happiest when they were starting to build their massive fortunes. They were happiest when they were working against the odds and had the raging fire of ambition and determination burning in their bellies. Determine to be happy now, not later. This requires nothing more than a conscious choice on your part.  

Once you have figured out very clearly what wealth means to you and what your key destination is, the next step is to develop what is known as a prosperity consciousness. To be wealthy, you must think wealthy. To become wealthy, you must feel wealthy. As with all success, everything beings with the mind since your outer world reflects your inner world. Recognize that the mind is a treasure house of power to bring you all the richness you seek. It will soon come as surety as the night follows the day. Every man and woman in this world was born to succeed, be wealthy and be prosperous. The potential for prosperity is one of your most essential human qualities, whether you realize it or not. If there is not an abundance of all that you desire in your life, do something about it and do something this very day. Throughout the day, affirm, “I am attracting great prosperity and wealth.” Also repeat,” every day in every single way, I am getting better and better.” The more you focus on your wishes, the more you believe deeply in their realization and the more every thought in your mind is a good one, the more you will receive.  Never let go of a tight hold on your dreams. They will all come about. But first, once and for all, agree that the mind is the source of unlimited power.
