WHAT WE BELIEVE
True prosperity—aliveness—starts with us telling new stories, recognizing our power and having fun!
This we know for sure:
Our stories are like seeds: they produce matching crops.
Just as oranges don’t grow from apple seeds, prosperity doesn’t grow from doom and gloom.
Prosperity grows from stories that help us feel good, or better, about life.
On a basic level:
Our beliefs aren’t always the truth but stories we tell so much they stick, for better or worse. Our beliefs drive our behaviors, which reap bitter or sweet outcomes. Our outcomes reinforce our stories and the wheel of our fortunes keeps turning into good- or bad-feeling territory.
Here are the top 5 stories that guide what we do.
1. Our woes are spiritual matters in disguise.
When we don’t know what we’re spirits/souls with staggering creative capacity, we outsource our power. We shall lead and truly come alive by making the mind-body-spirit connection.
2. As within, so without.
Our inner world—the way we think and feel—creates our outer reality. To create prosperity, we must shift from retelling how bad things are to start imagining how we want them to be.
3. Joyfulness…having fun!…is the fast track to true prosperity.
The better we feel, the better we can access soul guidance—like curiosity, excitement, inspiration, vision, intuition—that can lead us toward lives and villages of our dreams.
4. A prosperous world unfolds one neighborhood—turned village—at a time.
A neighborhood is an area where people live. A village is a caring community for and by neighbors—supported by broader systems—in which people can thrive throughout life.
5. All neighbors have something to offer.
“[Villages] have the capability of providing something for everybody, only because, and only when, they are created by everybody.”—Jane Jacobs
