Universal concepts of Prosperity
One main concept of prosperity is that prosperity is a state of consciousness wherein people thrive and fulfill their
purpose in life. The prosperous person will be a contributor to their communities as well as their nation. Thus, prosperity is built on the
solid foundation of an inclusive society. Prosperity is not just what we have but it is about who we become relative to economies and the art
of empowering people.
The key to prosperity, as I see it, is the gratitude or state of mind we develop that attracts more of the things for which we are grateful.
This form of prosperity is obtained through affirmation, meditation, and prayer.
Our ability to bounce back from adversity, learn and adapt to the moment, and use failure as a stepping stone towards personal growth provide us
with the resilience to not only survive hardships but to also thrive while going through them. The essence of prosperity then, lies in our
flexibility and the ability to use challenges as opportunities for positive personal changes.
Basically, the core value of prosperity is a lot more than wealth. It is the ability of the human family to have the opportunity and the freedom
to excel in life. This is the underpinned of an inclusive society, one with a strong social construct which provide protection to the fundamental
liberties, happiness and security of every individual.
Prosperity is a state of consciousness that aims to do away with feelings of lack and poverty, and replace those negative ideas with an awareness
of universal abundance, inner wealth and a horn of plenty.
There many distinct characteristics of prosperity. Three of which are economic prosperity, health, and happiness. These are correlated and have
causal effects on each other.
The Laughing Buddha shows a mutual relationship of economic prosperity, health, and happiness
Buddha of Wealth - the Laughing Buddha - a symbol of prosperity and good fortune. This is most likely why the Laughing Buddha is often depicted
with a big belly and a big smile and holding a gold ingot in his hand. One could take that as a sign of wealth, success, and financial gain for
home and business.
Worthy notes of what some people believe about the Laughing Buddha:

The essence of Prosperity is working with a team of like minded people
When we have a website or a blog and we post affiliate links, and or banners, that fit well with out content,
and our visitors click on them and purchase a product or service - it is almost like free money. As I see it, that is the nature of Affiliate
Marketing.
Without content, there is nothing to get you connected with your customers.
"Content is where I expect much of the real money will be made on the Internet, just as it was in
broadcasting." - Bill Gates; in an essay titled "Content is King", January 1996, published on the Microsoft website.
The real work is with using blogs and websites for providing quality content. It is the content that bring in
the visitors and keep them returning.
When we have a free to join affiliate program and free advertising links and banners - there is not a lot of
work going into posting those links to our blog and or website - unless we have to pay someone to do it for us.
First we build a loyal community around our site. Then we add affiliate links, sparingly. We should add links
in small quantities, so as not to go overboard with it. And, we don't have to promote links on every page. There need to be a positive balance between
providing good user experience and monetization. The visitors come for the value in the content. The purchase happens when they identify with the content as
being of value.
Thus, the money earned from affiliate links is like icing on the cake - with the cake being the quality content.
Our time, money and energy should go into providing quality content that keeps the reader engaged. It is rather simple to add or take away affiliate links to
webpages and blogs that we control. We do not control how long an affiliate product will be available, nor how much commission the creator of that affiliate
program should "pay" us.
