For greater prosperity, spread peace through kindness and happiness for all.

Abundance is more than prosperity; it is a sense of having more than enough. When we act from a sense of abundance, we feel secure in sharing with others because we know there is more than enough to go around and we feel secure that we have what we need. This sense of having what we need and more can only come from a deep acknowledgement and appreciation for what we have.

Sharing comes from kindness and from a desire for balance. We balance our resources and the world's resources by sharing or giving away our extra when we have more than enough. Happiness does not come from having more money once we pass the poverty rate, but it does come from helping others rise out of poverty. Emotional balance is required to appreciate what we have and recognize that we have enough to share.

Peace comes when our basic needs are met and when we feel good about ourselves, as we do when we appreciate what we have and act out of strength, goodness and virtue. Societies with a strong middle class, people who have enough to meet their basic needs and the freedom and social flexibility to pursue their dreams, are more peaceful and less violent. Social peace is required for a strong, healthy, sustainable economy, one that delivers prosperity for most.

So this fall, celebrate International Peace Day by appreciating the balance and abundance in your life.

For greater prosperity, spread peace through kindness and happiness for all.

I spread peace by living in balance and abundance.
