On Prosperity, Peace and Purpose.

We all were trained to put making money and our own well-being on the back-burner. And What we need to realize is that Life is a win-win-win event. our prosperity is the effect of exchange of our gifts/services with others who benefit by it. 
We live to move the creation of the whole forwards. There you can hook your vision to in a supportive way. I love what I learned from Jack Canfield. 3-part process to find your purpose and mission. 
1. ask your self: what is your vision of a perfect world? That is the resonance of your natural purpose here. 
2.step is What makes my heart sing/what activity do I really enjoy doing what makes me feel truly alive? 
3.and from those two answers you define your purpose. Now you are not serving your own needs, but you created awareness that with serving your own needs you are serving the world to become a better place. 
For me as an example, Step 1.My vision of the ideal world is to see people live a prosperous, purposeful and peaceful life Step 2.I have the highest feeling of aliveness when I share with others/teach what I learned about living in one's purpose. So my Life's purpose is "I am helping others to understand and apply their creative power so they can live fulfilling life. 
Happy People=Peaceful World"
