The Pathway To Prosperity This Year
We\u2019re talking about prosperity. That\u2019s the word of the year with my company and with me.
What does it mean to prosper? We know that it means to do well financially, but it\u2019s so much more than that. It\u2019s your health, your relationships, it\u2019s the ways you are fulfilled in life (such as growing as a person and contributing in a meaningful way to other people).
Prosperity is a fullness of life and a fulfilling way of living in every way possible.

Spiritual FoundationsThis week, I\u2019m reading from Psalm 1 (the New Living Translation).
\u201cOh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with sinners, or join in with mockers. But they delight in the law of the LORD, meditating on in day and night. They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do.\u201d
Tip of the WeekOne of my goals this year is to read through the Bible again in a year. My tip of the week is the Daily Audio Bible Mobile app. I used the Daily Audio Bible app last year. The new mobile app is a very pleasant and nearly effortless way to read through the Bible in a year. Brian, the guy who does the reading, is an excellent reader, that makes all the difference. He reads different translations throughout the year. The Daily Audio Bible Mobile app is available for android or iOS.
Feature Presentation: \u201cThe Pathway To Prosperity This Year\u201dAs I\u2019ve been writing my book, Permission to Prosper, I\u2019ve been thinking about how one can be more intentionally prosperous. For instance, let\u2019s take Psalm one at face value, and recognize that if we\u2019re in the group that God refers to as the righteous, then we are like trees planted by the river and everything we do prospers. That\u2019s what He wants for us. The world is not perfect, of course, but what He wants for us is for us to prosper in all that we do.
How do we do that?
I\u2019ve developed a 7 Step Prosperity Practice you can engage in every day as part of your morning routine. This practice will move you in the direction of your goals and dreams.
This is an amalgam of wisdom that I\u2019ve learned from other people (great passages of Scripture and books by people like Jim Rohn, Tony Robbins, and Brian Tracy).
I practice these seven steps everyday.
They are constructed in a way that is meant to mirror the actual needs of your psychological self. If you\u2019re familiar with Tony Robbins\u2019 Six Human Needs psychology, then you know his hypothesis is that we have six psychological needs that are wired into our nervous system. So, the steps I\u2019ve chosen are not arbitrary.
7 Step Prosperity Practice
- Calibrate Your State\xa0 \xa0 \xa0 The three components for putting yourself into peak state are:
- Physical \u2013 what you do with your body (get moving and breathing)
- Mental \u2013 what you do with your mind (practice gratitude)
- Verbal \u2013 what you speak out of your mouth (declare truths over your life)
- Experience Gratitude
Close your eyes and let gratitude flood your body and your mind. - Match Your Desire with Clarity
Review your goals and visualize experiencing the outcome of those goals. - \xa0Address Problems as QuestionsTransform the problem in your mind from a problem to a question and ask \u2026
- What\u2019s great about this problem?
- What can I learn from this?
- What\u2019s not perfect yet?
- What am I willing to do to make it the way I want it?
- What am I not willing to do to make it the way I want it?
- What does this make possible?
- How can I enjoy the process of dealing with this situation?
- Contribute in Some Way
Contribute in some way to the joy, peace, and prosperity of another human being. - Make a Connection with Other People by Being Present with Them
Look them in the eyes, listen to them, value their presence and be present. - Learn Something New Every Day
Learn a new word, a Bible verse, a scientific fact or tidbit.
Each morning, in my journal I write down the answers to the seven questions based on my 10 Minute Prosperity Practice Journal Template.
It only takes me about 10 to 15 minutes to write all of this down, but writing it down is where the value is. As Dave McCullough says, \u201cWriting is the doing part of thinking.\u201d You haven\u2019t done it until you write it down. It\u2019s not real until you write it down.
