Prosperity

This morning, Luann asked me if I feel prosperous.
Prosperity. That’s a heavy concept.
The answer is yes, but the reasoning behind the question is a shade deeper.

The root of the question is the notion that when you’re meditating, using mantras, and concentrating on things, that you don’t get what you want – you get what you are.

What am I? Self depreciative thoughts need not apply.
I’m driven. I’m innovative. I’m a songwriter. I’m both disciplined and motivated. I sleep well. I’m well-nourished. I’m warm and healthy. I’m an environmental steward. I’m a boyfriend and a dad and a dog owner (though, often a dog student) and a vegan and a triathlete and an entrepreneur. I’m growing and learning. I’m progressing. I’m an earner. I am prosperous!

What are you?

Training this week… is quite honestly hard right now. We’re closing in rapidly on our event, which is a massive undertaking and we are rising to every challenge, every day. I’m proud of what I’m able to do and I look forward to the event, not because of what it is, but because of what it represents. After this training program, the event is essentially a victory lap.
