Hi Vee, You're going to get a lot of answers on this one. Good Question. I don't think anything has to be proven to the world. You know how you feel when something good happens. If it was unexpected good that's even better; and, it proves you are living right to get an unexpected raise, gift, or whatever. There is snow on the far away mountains and it's really beautiful. I make a big deal out of it because it's so easy to feel good about a good view. At first I did rampages of appreciation because I would receive something later. I mean hey, I was new to the site and had some needs. Now I do it because It makes me feel good. I ask Source to give some me ideas and I might have hit on a good one business wise. I have a good feeling about this next year. Many Blesssings.

Vee I think you hit the nail on the head.

In a nutshell....YES

Anything else is simply an offshoot of that! (In an attempt to understand that)

Without a doubt Yes.

However, we don't have to prove anything to anyone to "manifest prosperity" - we merely have to feel grateful from a heartfelt place and realize the abundance we already have, prosperity will follow naturally.
