Why Some People Are Not Prosperous
Summary: This examination identifies ten barriers preventing prosperity: lack of clarity about genuine desires, absence of defined pathways toward goals, counterproductive struggle mentality, fear of success and changing relationships, limiting childhood conditioning, comfort with mediocrity, reluctance to outgrow current peer groups, habitual negativity focus, insufficient courage for necessary changes, and restrictive belief systems claiming prosperity belongs to others. Each obstacle stems from either unclear thinking, environmental programming, or self-protective mechanisms that ultimately constrain potential. Understanding these patterns enables conscious transformation toward prosperity through developing courage, adjusting beliefs, and recognizing personal power to create abundance. The discussion emphasizes that prosperity requires more than external circumstances; it demands internal shifts releasing scarcity mindset while embracing worthiness of achieving wealth, health, and success through deliberate choice and persistent action.
If it were easy, everyone would do it; everyone would have it. That "IT" is prosperity and we're all trying to achieve that stage in our lives where wealth, health, success are a daily part of our lives.
So what's the problem? Why aren't some of us living a prosperous life? Read on, my friends...
1. CLARITY
Many people don't know what they truly want in life. They have not clarified exactly what they desire and where they want to be within a year, 5 years even 3 months. Because they don't know where they are going they drift along with the daily grind, totally forgetting that they want to attain true prosperity.
2. A CLEAR PATH
They are some that have a goal for their life, yet they do not know how to attain it. They go through the motions daily and never actually make a conscious decision to attain their goal.
3. STRUGGLE
Many are desperately trying to live a life of happiness, wealth and success. They are focused on achieving true prosperity but yet constantly find themselves struggling to attain it. It is this struggle that actually prevent them from being truly prosperous.
4. FEAR
-False Evidence Appearing Real. This one 4-letter word prevents us from going forward to achieve all that we desire. What will our family think? Will our friends still like us? A very high percentage of persons fear success because of how it will affect us and our relationship with others.
5. CONDITIONING
As children and young adults our environment affects a great deal of our 'conditioning' and has a profound effect on the way we think, act and live. Our environment here could include our parents, our friends, television, politics, religion, school courses and our job. For example, the TV may constantly bombard us with images of prosperous persons as unhappy, as crooks or gangsters or as lonely or selfish. If we really believe this, who would want a lead a prosperous, successful life?
6. THE NORM
"I can't be bothered. This is too much work. It's too hard". Some persons simply cannot be bothered to achieve prosperity. They live each day in a trance, in a numb existence, going along with the status-quo and have no desire to change their lives for the better.
7. OUT-GROW YOUR PEERS
Some people don't want change. You may be hesitant to achieve your dreams, goals, you vision because once you do achieve true prosperity it may reduce your inventory of what is actually possible for you. It may mean that you grow beyond your partner, your friends and your family. What will that mean for you?
8. NEGATIVITY
Our lives are stuck by the negativity we are drawn to in our daily lives. A large percentage of persons want to out do their co-workers or friends with the amount and magnitude of problems that they have. Most of us live our lives in total lack and shortage and that prevents us from achieving true prosperity.
9. COURAGE
It takes courage to be prosperous. It takes courage to make that decision and that change! We need to focus our thoughts towards our vision of true prosperity and hold to that vision. Once we have the courage and the beliefs, there is nothing we cannot achieve.
10. BELIEFS
"It can't happen to us. Prosperity is for other people. They were born with a silver spoon in their mouth". We are programmed to think that being poor equals happiness. Our belief system totally affects how we live our lives. Its is these beliefs that hold us back from our true potential and our true prosperity.
