How its taken me so long.
With teachings and songs.
That life/'/s prosperity,
Does not come from hand outs and charity.
But rather from hard work, and discipline!
But lets first define discipline and prosperity:
Meaning different things to you and me.
For one it/'/s wealth;
And another it/'/s health.
Some prefer peace;
Others a new lifes lease.
You might want joy and happiness;
Your sister just wants to escape sadness.
For one fleeting moment,
Not fearing an omen.
Some love the laughter of children;
Your neighbour wants just to be a pilgrim.
Is all of this not prosperity,
For one and all in society?
Where then is the miracle;
We ask who are always cynical?
We think going on our knees,
Is all we have to do to please.
That some higher being;
Visible or unseen
Will wave his wand,
And give us all we want.
That I fear, is not the case -
If you want to finish lifes race!
But rather search within;
Deep, deep under your skin,
To the depths of your soul.
Beyond the emotions that control;
And look at the teachings with your head,
Apply them with logic instead.
So the miracle lies in discipline -
To avoid wrong ways and things of sin.
To take all you have learned;
To avoid being burnt,
In life and hell.
Truly you dont need a spell:
Yes we must be charitable.
For prosperity is inevitable!
When the charity is knowledge,
That removes povertys blockage:
Just use your head -
Then you will achieve all you want before you go to bed!

Meaning different things to you and me....
...health, peace, escaping the sadness,
the laughter of children, being a pilgrim...
Well said!
We all need different things to
be whole and prosper -
There, where these different needs overlap, is
also where we are unified in our search
for prosperous living!
Love,

You are so accurate to say that before we can achieve success, we must define it!
Before euphoria, comes logic.
Before win comes loss.
As you point out, first we must meet basic needs, food, water, shelter, safety . Then we can begin to search in earnest for the wonderful un-necessities of living.
Whatever you call success, I wish it for you.
