Prosperity

Many people think that to be prosperous you have to have buckets or even mountains of money, investments, stocks, real estate, etc. Although all these things can make life more pleasant and comfortable, I think that prosperity can be better measured by the service one renders to others and the love, respect and appreciation they receive back. I am in no way diminishing earning a living or the importance of being a wise steward of your own finances. I just think that service to family, friends, and those around you is a big part of what makes life rich, interesting and joyful. I am grateful for family and friends that make my life so rich.
