You can't have the space for
prosperity and success when you are obsessed with security. It is not possible to obtain unwavering
security — physical, emotional, or economic — by having money. Keep in mind that security, like success,
can be defined in many ways. If you focus less on how much your financial assets are worth, and more on
what a creative and well-balanced individual you can be, security will take on a new
meaning.
— from The Joy of
Not Working by Ernie Zelinski
Your security is not your job, or your bank account, or your
investments, or your spouse or your parents. Your security is your ability to connect with the cosmic power
that creates all things.
— Louise L. Hay
There is a spiritual realm that encompasses all
beings.
Make friends with the angels, who will always be with you,
although invisible. Make good use of their assistance while following your dreams and in all your creative
pursuits through life. Your success and prosperity will come much easier and a lot
quicker.

in This World)
Prosperity is not without many fears and distastes; adversity
not without many comforts and hopes.
— Francis Bacon
If you don't care about the people around you or treat
them
as if they don't matter, you'll stop the flow of possibilities. This includes your financial prosperity.
Creating a vehicle for good that you feel passionate about is the final step toward true prosperity.
— Joe Vitale
He that lives upon hope will die fasting.
— Benjamin Franklin, The Way to Wealth
If you want to experience abundance, then don’t choose a path that ensures scarcity or
limitation. Choose a path that has a shot of leading to prosperity. Say no to non-prosperous choices like a
job with a fixed paycheck.
— Steve Pavlina
Practice being kind to yourself in small, concrete ways.
Look at your refrigerator. Are you feeding yourself nicely?
Do you have socdks? An extra set of sheets? What about a
new house plant? A thermos for the long drive to work?
Allow yourself to pitch out some of your ragged clothes.
You don't have to keep everything.
— Julia Cameron, The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity
Feeling prosperous means paying your utility bills on time and
with a smile on your face. Prosperity means not only giving to the
homeless person, but having a smile on your face when you do it.
Prosperity also means buying fresh produce with a smile on your
face instead of buying day-old bread or bargain overripe fruit with
a scowl on your face. Still more, being prosperous means tipping
generously with a smile on your face when the waiter has given you great service instead of trying to stiff
him with a mere percent, or worse, no tip at all.
— from Career Success Without a Real Job by Ernie J. Zelinski
Every time I see a coin on the street, I stop, pick it up,
put it into my pocket, and say out loud "Thank you, God, for this symbol of abundance that keeps flowing
into my life" Never once have I asked, "Why only a penny, God? You know I need a lot more than that."
— Dr. Wayne Dyer
It's God's will for you to live in prosperity instead of
poverty.
It's God's will for you to pay your bills and not be in debt.
— Joel Osteen
It’s a serious character weakness to think you can get
something of value for little or nothing, to believe that life will flood you with abundance when you won’t
commit yourself to delivering your best contribution in exchange. In fact, it’s a safe bet that you’ll
subconsciously sabotage yourself from being in such a place for long. You won’t allow yourself to receive
what you don’t feel you’ve earned. To receive life’s bounty, you must know without a doubt that you deserve
it.
— Steve Pavlina
We can stand affliction better than we can prosperity, for in
prosperity we forget God.
— Dwight L. Moody
Remember God in prosperity, and He will remember you in
adversity.
— Muhammad
The trick is to make sure you don't die waiting
for prosperity to come.
— Lee Iacocca
Always feeling rushed is no way for a prosperity-minded
individual to live. The objective of life is not to get through it as fast as possible.
— from The Joy of
Not Working by Ernie Zelinski
Prosperity in the form of wealth works exactly the same as
everything else. You will see it coming into your life when you are unattached to needing it.
— Dr. Wayne Dyer
We can have technology, prosperity, nice homes and cars, but at the
same time we must be conscious of what we are dumping into the water, the air and our food.

There is in every true woman's heart, a spark of heavenly
fire, which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity,
but which kindles up and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.

Your most precious, valued possessions and your greatest
powers are invisible and intangible. No one can take them. You, and you alone, can give them. You will
receive abundance for your giving.
— W. Clement Stone
It is not only my right and my privilege to walk in the abundance God has for me, it is my
responsibility . . . just as it is my responsibility to live the rest of my truth.
— Jan Denise
When you focus on being a blessing, God makes sure that you
are always blessed in abundance.
— Joel Osteen
We already have so much abundance. We truly do. We need not search too far. It is within.
The reason we fail to recognize this is because we haven't quite mastered the art of being. For abundance
to prevail, we must have love, gratitude, acceptance and compassion.
— John Welwood
It's a funny thing about life, if you refuse
to accept anything but the best, you will often get it.
— W. Somerset Maugham
The world is full of abundance and opportunity, but far too many people come to the
fountain of life with a sieve instead of a tank car, a teaspoon instead of a steam shovel. They expect
little and as a result they get little.
— Ben Sweetland

Friendship makes
prosperity brighter, while it lightens adversity by sharing its griefs and anxieties.
— Marcus Tullius Cicero
Heard about The Secret and The Law of
Attraction?
Want to know the secret behind The Secret? The Law of Attraction will not bring you
abundance and prosperity for just thinking pleasant, positive thoughts. It is no cosmic mistake that the
word "attraction" has the word "action" in it. Abundance is, in fact, the result of creative thinking and a lot of action. Much
action, much prosperity, in other words. What are you waiting for?
— from Life's Secret Handbook by Ernie Zelinski
When I chased after money, I never had enough. When I got my

prosperous.

head, but what makes the difference is the action.
Without action upon an idea, there will be no manifestation, no results, no reward.

If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if
we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.

Begin to recognize prosperity everywhere, and rejoice in
it.
— Louise L. Hay
The Beat scene was beautiful. It was live jazz and we were
just dancing our hearts out for hours on end, happy on very little. I mean we were living, most of us, on a
shoestring. Yet, there was always so much to go around, if you know what I mean. You know, there was so
much energy and sharing and inspiration and pure moments and quality times together on very little or no
money.
— Suzanne Verdal McCallister (the real Suzanne that Leonard Cohen sang about in his song
Suzanne)
Prosperity discovers vice, adversity discovers virtue.

Spiritual leaders say that as a matter of course prosperity
will come when you are pursuing the right things with your life. To feel truly prosperous, you may have to
leave the corporate world for good simply because prosperity and freedom go hand in hand. For some people
this means having to give up a substantial amount of their income, at least for a certain period of
time.

Prosperity cannot be restored by raids upon the public Treasury.

Having taught economics courses at private vocational schools
and universities, I have always had a problem with GNP as a yardstick of prosperity. GNP is improved by
increases in questionable activities such as consumption of cigarettes and the production of weapons.
Moreover, a substantial increase in car accidents will favorably affect GNP [and apparently national
prosperity] because more funerals, hospital visits, car repairs, and new car purchases will
result.

misfortune than to remain uncorrupted by pleasure.
— Tacitus
Prosperity makes few friends.

Your prosperity will grow to the extent that you do. Your
feeling of prosperity may require that you overcome the fear of leaving a secure job for a less secure job,
with less pay, but a lot more freedom. Fact is, feeling more prosperous doesn’t necessarily mean earning
more money. Sometimes it means earning less money.

Nothing is harder to direct than a man in prosperity; nothing more easily managed that one

Of prosperity mortals can never have enough.
— Aeschylus
Contrary to popular belief, prosperity is an emotional state
that has little to do with your wealth or the state of the economy. You can feel more prosperous in a
one-room cottage than most wealthy people feel in a twenty-room mansion. Misers will hoard a lot of money
and spendthrifts will spend whatever they have — you don’t have to do either to feel prosperous. You may
have to give up your secure, high-paying corporate job, however — and grow spiritually in the process.
