The Prosperity Podcast

We continue this week on the theme of simplicity.  We take it to our living spaces, specifically, how big and how much?  Guests Dennis and Doug are downsizing their lives and share their experiences.   Herbert Hoover in his 1928 campaign promised “a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage.”  He kept his promise as Will Rogers quipped that “We are the first nation in the history of the world to go to the poor house in an automobile.”  All manner of expensive possessions may in reality be the anchor that is sinking our ship before it has a chance to come in.  Choose your life style with care and when in doubt — simplify.

We, at The Prosperity Podcast, believe that life is abundant.  The problem is that one man’s treasure is another man’s junk.  And further, the problem is that what was once our most prized possession might now be simply a booby prize.  Life is full of changes, adjustments, growth and revelations.  Selecting what deserves our energy, attention and resources now can be difficult when we remain attached to artifacts, good or bad, from our past.

Julia sent me a message saying that she wanted to talk about “Listening with Love’s Ear” for this week’s Podcast.  You would have been amused by the blank stare that took hold of my face.  I really had no idea how this was going to add to my propserity.  But you know, I gave her a chance to explain.  I kept an open mind.  I remembered how generous she’s been with her time and experience for the past 18 months of Podcasts and pretty soon it all became crystal clear.  There’s a tremendous power and benefit in listening with full respect, attention and consideration.  And there’s equal power in speaking in the same way.  In our hurry-up, impatient, news bite world, we want to get it over with and move on but the most benefit now and in the future might be to stay open and go deeper to where the real power is.

People often develop the insidious habit of insisting that everything be right.  Perfectionism is a belief and behavior that can block your thoughts, actions, relationships and, of course, prosperity.  When we turn perfectionism on the outside world it is bad enough but when turned on ourselves it is evil and destructive.  Japanese craftsman always deliberately leave a flaw in their woodwork as a reminder of this crippling behavior.  Are you blocking your prosperity because you find that it’s never right and never meets your expectations?  Pride is a sin and perfectionism venal.
