In spite of what society may suggest, true prosperity has nothing to do with money.  Obviously, in this world money is needed and can make a difference in one's life.  But let's look at what prosperity is truly about.  Prosperity is about feeling abundantly well in your life; an abundance of love, an abundance of health, an abundance of joy & happiness.  If you have an abundance of these qualities in your life then you are prosperous.  A person can have an abundance of money and still not be happy or content.  It is possible to be fulfilled in life without an excess of money.  It really is a matter of attitude.

Lets look a little more closely at what the essentials of life are.  First, every person is entitled to have their most basic needs met to develop a healthy body.  And what things are needed to have a healthy body?  Well let's examine them.  First we need sunlight.  The sun shines on the Earth for free the same way it has for millions of years now.  Water - the rain falls freely upon the Earth the same way it has for eons.  And last I checked the air we breathe was free as well.  Lastly and coincidentally, the same necessities we have to create a healthy body are the same essentials that every other living object on this planet needs that serve as food for our bodies.  Plants, fruit, vegetables and animals have thrived on this planet for millennium.  In fact, they would probably prosper even further if it were not for man's interference.  As long as plants and animals have access to sun, water and air then they can grow perfectly without man's assistance.
