Nor can it buy control ,as only God is the director of our life scripts. Yes, we have free will. However, in truth, despite money and riches, the only truth we really possess is today. Stop worrying about tomorrow. The irony is that we all have the power to manifest prosperity in our lives.
Prosperity has a wide definition.
It can mean love, health, inner peace, family, friends, happiness. We have to be willing to receive prosperity and abundance in our lives. We really have to believe that we deserve all good. And, sometimes it takes hard work. Well, if you constantly feed yourself with white bread fluff and negative thinking then that is all you will ever have.
