Lesson #10: Pathway of Prosperity and Abundance
Introduction
The Pathway of Prosperity and Abundance is a way of living in the world with an optimistic attitude and a feeling of being loved. We were created and set in a beautiful garden of plenty (Mother Earth). That means we were created with everything we need to grow and thrive. If we are not thriving, we may have forgotten that prosperity and abundance are gifts from the Divine Spirit.
Prosperity is an attitude that your life is full of everything you need to sustain yourself in joy and purpose. Abundance is a feeling of ample supply. It is from our prosperity and abundance that we share freely and generously with others. When attitude and feeling merge with a spiritual sense of contentment, you have a true way of living that encompasses relationships, experiences, and personal growth.
Prosperity (Mind) + Abundance (Heart) + Contentment (Spirit) = Wholeness

Say a prayer of gratitude and return to the present moment knowing how blessed you are.
