In a world where millions suffer and starve, how can you justify your own joy?

All you have to do is look around and you see extremes. Extreme poverty and extreme prosperity exist in the same geographic locations…Probably in your town. This is the way things are in the human state of consciousness.

If so many have so little, how can you possibly embrace pursuing your own prosperity and abundance?

I believe that your personal enlightenment brings with it a responsibility. The responsibility is to live your life to the very best you possibly can. By doing so, your example and the example of others, will provide proof that a quantifiable, teachable alternative to a life of poverty is possible.

Individuals who are able to overcome the influence of their parenting and environments will provide proof that it is possible, within the human experience, to not be forced into a life of suffering and poverty.

Your personal success is a beacon of hope for many who want to believe a life of joy and fulfillment is possible… No matter how different their day-to-day reality may be, most people hope for a better life.

You see, taking back control of your life and your destiny is not something you are only doing for yourself. You are doing it for those individuals who will be touched by your example and inspired to find a greater joy and prosperity in their own lives. The ability to inspire others to the greater realization of their innate potential, is the greatest contribution you can give to mankind.

Bringing the light of hope and the realization of what is possible to others is how you show gratitude for being given the opportunity to realize the greater truth of life’s unlimited potential.

It’s how you honor the experience of life.
