Previously we have been sharing tips on how to reach full prosperity. But we should note that prosperity is a process, a long process that begins with you!

Like love, prosperity can not be bought neither forced. The only short cut to prosperity is love. Love yourself, give yourself what you love most; that is peace. If your mind lacks peace you will never love yourself and this means you will never have time to settle and think positively towards the prosperity that you want.

We often think that love should only be given to others. This will only earn you sympathies which is good only for discourage!

Our Lord Jesus commanded us to love our neighbors and he described a neighbor as anybody who needs help from you. Now, how many times have you cried for love? And then ask yourself the number of times you have given love to yourself!

Perhaps you just did not know what to do. Here are some few tips on how to effectively love that person in you.

Begin by meditating on where you have been that yesterday you have lived. You will realize that indeed it has not been a simple journey. Think about the time when you found life more difficult and how you overcame it. May it took a long time because you were busy crying for help from others!

Secondly, know that you will never achieve all what you want so stop thinking all the time about what you want. But think about how you will be achieving them! You will realize that you have saved a lot of time that would have been wasted in thinking about useless things. Note that when you train you body to think about only good things, the list will become big every other day and this will instead tune you to worrying!

Know that God is controlling you body and try to keep it holy. Not every thing that you want is good for your body, and as a temple of God , they are not pleasing him!

May be I have to explain this. You may love smoking, but your body does not love. And to prove this, you may find diseases responding because your body has ‘refused’ to fight them.

But remember, no body will give you peace until you have given it to yourself. Always keep the laws of your country however bad they might seem to you! In this way you will be adding value to the peace you have.
I will continue with this topic because peace was a gift given to us by our master Jesus Christ. We have a duty to enjoy it!
