The Misunderstanding of the Prosperous Mind

Most people equate the Prosperous Mind to something related to the Law of Attraction. They think that having the Prosperous Mind is about somehow attracting prosperity with no work or like magic out of thin air. Personally I don't believe in fairies, magic or producing something out of nothing. It's this kind of nonsense and new age misdirection that gets people turned upside down and defeated.

Everyone knows that having the right mind set is needful in this life but they usually say they are too busy right now and that they will take care of it later after they have taken care of their immediate needs.

Those who enjoy wealth and prosperity understand that this mind set is what helps them not only get their wealth but weather the storms of life that will ultimately come. It helps them see through deception and misdirection of dishonest schemes and enables them to make clear profitable decisions in life. A true prosperity mind set keeps you strong while those around you are in a panic. In your calm state you are then able to take unemotional and decisive action that takes you out of the storm onto solid ground.

The interesting thing about the Prosperous Mind is that when things are good people say they don't have time to spend on develop mind set, they need to "get-it-while-the-getting-is-good". But then when the storms of life come and the down times are pounding them on the rocky shores they cry out for the one thing that could have saved them. Now it's never too late, but sometimes if feels like trying to steer the ship and bale out the water at the same time.

Unlike the mystics who pretend that the Prosperous Mind will make all the "bad things" go away. What the Prosperous Mind really does it keep you focused and determined to reach your goals and achieve your desired results. It keeps you in the game while everyone else is crumbling around you. It defeats the fears and panic that devours the weak minded and faint of heart.

Proverbs 10:15 says, "The rich man's wealth is his strong city..." The term "strong city" is an eastern term talking about the fortress of his mind. This is easy to understand because our real wealth is not based on our possessions because those can always be taken from us as so many have experienced lately. The true treasure is the mind set that acquired those possessions because even if for some reason they are taken from us the mind (the strong city) that acquired them in the first place can get them again.

So, while working on your business, your skills, your means and methods is good, don't ever forget "your strong city" that Prosperous Mind that is going to be the rudder of your ship to take you to safe waters.
