What is Real Prosperity?

I really appreciate this quote by Eric Butterworth:
“Prosperity is a way of living and thinking, and not just about money or things. Poverty is a way of living and thinking, and not just a lack of money or things.”

There have been times in my life when I had plenty of money, but I was stressed out, unhappy, and taking terrible care of my body and my relationships.

And there have been times in my life when it seemed like the world was falling down around me. I didn’t know where I was going to get money to eat, but I felt calm and peaceful, like the eye of the storm.

I named my company Real Prosperity Incorporated because I want my community to live in real, or true, prosperity… which means that they live in freedom, joy, and abundance. I like saying the entire word “incorporated” out loud because it’s not about the legal entity, it’s about incorporating these ideas and lessons into your way of being… embodying prosperity… not just talking about it, but living it fully.

If you’re not feeling prosperous, consider this… if you’re reading these words, you are in the top 5% of the wealthiest people in the world. And if that doesn’t work for you, try this one:

Imagine what it would be like to live like a KING or QUEEN a few hundred years ago. Would you trade places with them?

I wouldn’t. Sure, they had a lavish lifestyle for that time period, but my lifestyle is much better than that now… just a few of the benefits off the top of my head are: hot running water, airplanes, and modern medicine.

You now live better than a king or queen did a few hundred years ago. Congratulations!
