How do I create a more prosperous life for myself? Simple. By changing your thoughts. Life isnt something that happens to us, it is us that makes something happen to life. We are the cause of everything in our lives. It is our thought systems. Our minds are like DVD players, our thoughts are the film and the world is the screen onto which we play it. Be vigilant about what you think about on a constant basis. Are you in a negative or positive mode? When you want to change something about your life, you need to focus on what you want, because what you focus on expands and it ends up coming to life.
