    As a 22 year old recent college graduate, I so badly needed to read this!

    "Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get."
    My principles in life have been: "Be honest. Work hard. Believe in God and pray for his benevolence. Share what you have with others.
    Respect justice, peace, love, nature,philosophy, sciences and the arts. Read the books of God- all of them: The Bible, The Koran, Mormon's book, and if you believe Nirvana is God, (which I think it is) also the books of the Buddhists. Have self-control and be modest, kind and have a sense of humor."

    that was hot! each of us has a distinct path and purpose. our lives and the way we live them won't look alike. prosperity is definitely a state of mind, not a bank statement. anyone can find themselves peaceful right where they are. we have everything we need to be happy ... right now. thanks for sharing ;)

    Sure appreciate the section of this post "What you can do"

    Especially "Giving Back" I've seen how powerful that is in my own life. It's kind of counter-intuitive, but it really works. Like they say, "You've gotta give it, to get it." And "Be the change in which you seek"

    Oh, and I like that mustard seed faith, coconut sized cajones. Nice.

    Anyway, giving great value is what our little online community is all about. That's why we refer to ourselves as: thegenecollective.com

    Preciate the comments. There is a lot of conscious folks out there, glad YBP is working to bring us together.

    I read YBP religiously and this is yet another though provoking article. This is a perfect topic for discussion/ debate. Keep writing outside the box and stimulating minds.

    Nice post. I think that we each have an important role to play in this life. I have moments when I may feel "why am I here" but without fail, there are many people, for one reason are another, that tell me how much my life has blessed them and how much they appreciate me. I say this to say that we should all function (our best) in whatever situation that God has allowed us to be. We will never know the impact that we are having on someones life.

    Be well.
