The second of February

Make good thoughts the treasures of your life and you will become prosperous*

Is this trying to suggest that if you put a high value on good thoughts, then you'll have lots of good thoughts, or lots of money, or both? What kind of good thoughts is it talking about? Wishing other people well? Wishing yourself well? Appreciating beauty?

It's very difficult to decide what I think of this one, except that it's quite unclear (to me, at least). If nothing else, it reminds me of something Jesus said:

“Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.”—Matthew 6:19–21 (NLT)
