LAYING THE FOUNDATION 11. True Prosperity America’s forefathers thought of true prosperity as being health, wealth and wisdom. Being healthy alone is not true prosperity. Though you may have your health, a constant bombardment of financial stress would probably chip away at even the strongest, positive attitude and would also eventually erode your health. A homeless man may be healthy, but he probably doesn’t enjoy relationships with a loving family, keep his belly satisfied, or keep his body warm on cold nights. The homeless man may be free from debt and avoid paying taxes, but he is not successful or prosperous. Being wealthy alone is not true prosperity. Many men have set their course on achieving wealth at any cost, sacrificing the relationships with their mates and children only to find that the riches they obtained were a monument to incorrect thinking. | ||
