Prosperity: What do you think of when you hear or see this word?
Upon looking online for a definition or related material on prosperity, it is defined primarily as financial or economic success. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/prosperity
I have always looked at this word a little differently.
To me it means to have well rounded success and blessings: Prosper – to succeed and be blessed regarding family, work, enjoyment, health, wealth and to truly thrive. It is a word that encompasses all of that and more.
I think it is important to put our own spin on words and create our own definition and to strive to achieve that definition, your definition.
When you come up with your own version of definitions, you tend to become more engaged and invested in the outcome and take more ownership of the journey to get there.
Evaluate the value that different words have in your life and the meaning or value that they hold in your life.
I can’t talk or discuss the word prosper or prosperity without mentioning the well-known expression “be well and prosper” or the more popular “live long and prosper”. I found this cool website that gives a little bit of history regarding phrases – kinda neat!
