To be prosperous means having an abundance of good so we may live a full, satisfying life.

What you need to be prosperous already exists in the invisible world of waves and particles. It’s just a question of bringing it into manifestation by working with the resources you have to hand to make it a reality.

Where do these resources come from? Only one source.

All wealth ultimately comes from nature.

It comes from transforming the raw materials that nature provides into something we desire.

Nature is abundant. It gives, gives and then gives more. An apple seed can produce thousands of apples; a single grain of wheat can multiply until it fills a prairie; a few fish can populate a lake. Left to its own devices, nature’s growth is exponential, and this is not confined to our planet: the entire universe is constantly expanding.

Imagine a million pounds, euros or dollars in the bank but no fruits of nature! Life would cease immediately.

In his famous speech of 1854, the Native American leader Chief Seattle articulated this: ‘What is man without the beasts? If all the beasts were gone, man would die from a great loneliness of the spirit. For whatever happens to the beasts, soon happens to man. All things are connected…. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of earth.’

It is our responsibility to take care of nature and hold our politicians and business leaders to account. For when nature is degraded, so are we.
