The pursuit and attainment of prosperity, in all its forms, will require certain things from you – all important, all necessary, and all having a proper place in the overall scheme. Basically, these will be:-

Vision

Education

Opportunity

System

We will only be looking at vision in this article – YOUR vision – because without at least some, you won’t be able to succeed in your pursuit of prosperity. You cannot attain your desires for prosperity with just desire.

Desire can birth vision, but desire and vision are not the same. Without the ability to see forward into the future and see where you wish to be at the various stages of your life, you can’t set the targets you need to achieve. The problem, of course, is that if you are uncertain of where you want to get to, you won’t be able to decide what to do to get there.

The fact is that every one of us is most likely to achieve only that which we can ‘see’ or, in other words, the extent of our vision. I am sure you have heard the saying, “What the mind can conceive, it can achieve.” You see, nothing can be achieved unless it can be seen, but the opposite is true, also; if you are unable to see it, it is not likely that you will ever achieve it. The good news, though, is that vision can grow, so even if you have just a little bit to start with, if you get help from the right quarters and learn, your vision will grow as large as you want it to.

As a way to get you started, I have listed some of the things you might like to ponder on with regard to your vision for the future:-

What would you like to have money for over the next 5, 10, 20, 30, or more years? Things like –

Kids’ education

A great home

Travel

Hobbies, etc

Further education

Charities

Post work years

Leaving a legacy

Tied up with your vision – and your ultimate success – is your mindset; the way you think. Wealthy people think in a way quite different to, and in a way that appears contradictory to, the way the average man in the street thinks. Does that last sentence mean that, because you may consider yourself to be an average thinker now, you can’t be wildly successful and amazingly prosperous? No! The very fact that you are reading this article confirms that you are searching for to improve your lifestyle, so you can be sure already that even at this point in time, you have within you at least the beginnings of greatness. What you do about it is up to you.

Once you have your vision in place (or at least the beginnings of what will someday be something greater!) you will need someone who can help you make your vision come to life; someone who can give you the education you need and help you work out your plan of action.
