“Contrary to popular belief, prosperity is an emotional state that has little to do with your wealth or the state of the economy. You can feel more prosperous in a one-room cottage than most wealthy people feel in a twenty-room mansion. Misers will hoard a lot of money and spendthrifts will spend whatever they have - you don't have to do either to feel prosperous. You may have to give up your secure, high-paying corporate job, however - and grow spiritually in the process.” PeopleGivingFeelsMayLittlesStatesJobsBeliefGrowsProcessWealthRoomsEconomyEmotionalGiving UpTwentiesProsperityContrarySecureCorporateWealthyLots Of MoneyProsperousMansionsCottagesMisersContrary To Popular BeliefSpendthrift Author:Ernie J Zelinski

“What then is to be the lot of Rossetti's fame and influence? 'An amateur who failed in two arts', it is true; yet it hardly harms Rossetti or touches his standing. On the contrary, it defines both very brilliantly. The small word 'failed' is a small word and little more to artists who are forever going on until they give up over a game that must be lost. Every artist, when confronted by the immensities of art, which is life, must confess to failure. A failure is a thing very relative.” GivingLittlesArtTwoArtistGamesLostForeverInfluenceFameGiving UpStandingHarmContraryRelativeImmensitySmall Words Author:Ford Madox Ford
