Stress and discouragement are things that have been plaguing the lives of many. If we go on pointing out factors that can cause this, it will take a lot of hours. Different people have their own causes of concern. Once these stress factor starts to take root in ones mentality, things start to get bad. This is exactly why professionals like counselors exist. They are the ones who assist individuals who are in dire need of positive emotional boost.
No one is totally exempted to these things. What can make the difference is how you handle your situation. How to live a prosperous life is one of those common questions of people who find themselves still not satisfied even if they are trying very hard to improve. To come up with some sort of a common ground, it will be of help if clarifying your own definition of what it takes to be prosperous. Is it just about wealth. How about emotional stability.
How you define prosperity can greatly affect your way of attaining it. There is no predetermined formula that is sure to work for everyone. Its not meant to be that way. However, there are ways that have been repeatedly applied by many and are proven to work. Have a quick look.
Acknowledge the presence of challenges and problems, but do not center your attention on them. Problems and hardships exist. They are things beyond our control. Acknowledging that they exist is the first step to achieving resolution. But of course, one has to ensure that they do not let it flood their thoughts and succumb to all the negatives.
Give thanks to what you have, and even those which you dont. Common human tendency is, we give thanks to things that we receive, many of them material. However, we tend to complain a lot when we do not get what we asked for. The thing is, it does not work this way. God is not a vending machine. Sometimes, His answer is no. And even at that, you should be thankful because that would mean that there is something better up for you.
Share what you got to others. Feeling fulfilled and prosperous is not about how much you have. We have seen a lot of people still feeling unsatisfied amidst all the material possessions that they have. Why is this. Its not just because materials dont do anything to make you happy. Rather than hoard stuff, its way better when you start sharing them to those who need them.
Be mindful of who you choose to associate with. Yes we know many people. But who among them can you seriously trust. Its not about being picky. Its more like being careful not to put yourself on any bad company that will only cause you to be off track.
Pray and meditate. If there is one thing that can guarantee you peace of mind, it will be prayer. How long do you spend some time in silence. When you want to clear your thoughts, you should talk to Him and ask for guidance.
We all deserve happiness and prosperity. But happiness is not the absence of any hardships. Nor is it found in materials things. If you want to prosper, it should not be all about you but more like what you can do for the good of others.
