The Desire To Be Rich Is A Noble One

Whatever may be said in praise of poverty, the fact remains that it is not possible to live a really complete or successful life unless one is rich.
No man can rise to his greatest possible height in talent or soul development unless he has plenty of money; for to unfold the soul and to develop talent he must have many things to use, and he cannot have these things unless he has money to buy them with. 


A man develops in mind, soul, and body by making use of things, and society is so organised that man must have money in order to become the possessor of things; therefore, the basis of all advancement for man must be the science of getting rich.


The object of all life is development; and everything has an inalienable right to all the development it is capable of attaining.

Man's right to life means his right to have the free and unrestricted use of all the

things which may be necessary to his fullest mental, spiritual, and physical

unfoldment; or, in other words, his right to be rich.

In this book, I shall not speak of riches in a figurative way; to be really rich does

not mean to be satisfied or contented with a little. No man ought to be satisfied

with a little if he is capable of using and enjoying more. The purpose of Nature is

the advancement and unfoldment of life; and every man should have all that can

contribute to the power; elegance, beauty, and richness of life; to be content with

less is sinful.

The man who owns all he wants for the living of all the life he is capable of living is rich; and no man who has not plenty of money can have all he wants.

Life has advanced so far, and become so complex, that even the most ordinary man or woman requires a great amount of wealth in order to live in a manner that even approaches completeness. Every person naturally wants to become all that they are capable of becoming; this desire to realize innate possibilities is inherent in human nature; we cannot help wanting to be all that we can be. 

Success in life is becoming what you want to be; you can become what you want to be only by making use of things, and you can have the free use of things only as you become rich enough to buy them. To understand the science of getting rich is therefore the most essential of all knowledge.

There is nothing wrong in wanting to get rich. The desire for riches is really the

desire for a richer, fuller, and more abundant life; and that desire is praise

worthy. The man who does not desire to live more abundantly is abnormal, and

so the man who does not desire to have money enough to buy all he wants is

abnormal.

There are three motives for which we live; we live for the body, we live for the

mind, we live for the soul. No one of these is better or holier than the other; all

are alike desirable, and no one of the three, body, mind, or soul--can live fully if

either of the others is cut short of full life and expression. It is not right or noble

to live only for the soul and deny mind or body; and it is wrong to live for the

intellect and deny body or soul.

We are all acquainted with the loathsome consequences of living for the body

and denying both mind and soul; and we see that real life means the complete

expression of all that man can give forth through body, mind, and soul. Whatever

he can say, no man can be really happy or satisfied unless his body is living fully

in every function, and unless the same is true of his mind and his soul. Wherever

there is unexpressed possibility, or function not performed, there is unsatisfied

desire. Desire is possibility seeking expression, or function seeking performance.

Man cannot live fully in body without good food, comfortable clothing, and

warm shelter; and without freedom from excessive toil. Rest and recreation are

also necessary to his physical life.

He cannot live fully in mind without books and time to study them, without

opportunity for travel and observation, or without intellectual companionship.

To live fully in mind he must have intellectual recreations, and must surround himself with all the objects of art and beauty he is capable of using and appreciating.

To live fully in soul, man must have love; and love is denied expression by poverty. 

A man's highest happiness is found in the bestowal of benefits on those he loves; love finds its most natural and spontaneous expression in giving. The man who has nothing to give cannot fill his place as a husband or father, as a citizen, or as a man. It is in the use of material things that a man finds full life for his body, develops his mind, and unfolds his soul. It is therefore of supreme importance to him that he should be rich. 

It is perfectly right that you should desire to be rich; if you are a normal man or women you cannot help doing so. It is perfectly right that you should give your best attention to the Science of Getting Rich, for it is the noblest and most necessary of all studies. If you neglect this study, you are derelict in your duty to yourself, to God and humanity; for you can render to God and humanity no greater service than to make the most of yourself.

This is an extract from ''The Science Of Getting Rich'' by Author, Wallace D.Wattles.

The Science of Getting Rich

Why Fear Limits Your Life Potential...

Have you ever felt like fear was preventing you from reaching your full potential in life? 

If so, you are certainly not alone because fear is one of the biggest obstacles that many people face when trying to create better life circumstances.

Below are some of the most common ways that fear can hold you back:

Fear can prevent you from making positive changes.

Sometimes fear can make even the smallest changes seem extremely uncomfortable. For example, you may be deeply dissatisfied with your job, but feel nervous or uncertain about finding and applying for a better one. Or you may have always dreamed of buying your own home but worry that the responsibility would be too much to handle.

Fear can prevent you from breaking destructive habits.

We all know that smoking, poor dietary choices, excessive alcohol and a sedentary lifestyle are a recipe for health problems, but we often gravitate toward these habits because they help numb our anxious or fearful feelings. If you have ever tried to break a bad habit like this, you know how stressful it can be because suddenly you are filled with anxiety and you don‟t know how to handle it except to run back to your “pacifiers” – the very habits you are trying to break.

Fear can prevent you from taking risks.

Many of us shy away from risk because we fear negative consequences. For example, you may hesitate to invest your money because you fear losing it, or avoid starting a new relationship because you were so hurt by the last one. What most of us fail to realize is that risk can also bring great rewards. Avoiding risk may help us avoid negative possibilities but we also miss the excitement and joy that come from positive outcomes.

Fear can prevent you from pursuing your goals.

Have you ever dreamed of doing something great but were never able to push yourself to do it? Perhaps you dreamed of being a stand-up comedian but dreaded the thought of public speaking, or you desperately wanted to be a bestselling author but were too afraid to pen that novel lurking inside of you.

Fear can prevent you from expanding your life.

Social anxiety is another common way that fear can limit your potential. It may prevent you from attending networking functions so your career or business can‟t grow properly, or you may avoid taking that much needed vacation to relax and explore other cultures because you fear flying or being on a cruise ship.

How to Stop Fear from Limiting Your Potential

It‟s important to note that all of these fears are most often groundless. They are merely a perception that things “could” go wrong – but that doesn‟t mean they will.

Rather than trying to force your way through the fear, you may find it easier to explore the many ways that fear can be effectively released from your mind, emotions, and body. When you know how to release the fear, you simply handle it as you would any minor obstacle and then continue on your way to creating the best life you possibly can.

Some common fears that could be hiding in your mind:

Fear of Dying

Probably most people's number one fear ...so here’s something to think about...

"This self (your ego)... possesses some terrifying information. It knows that if it's lucky, it's destined to grow old, get sick, and lose everything that it's grown to love. Then it will die. This is a shortened version of what the world has offered you, which probably leaves you mystified and flabbergasted at the absurdity of this thing we call life.

Into this bleak picture, which inspires fear and even terror, I'd like to introduce a concept that will eliminate the terror. I want you to know that you needn't subscribe to the idea that you are only this collection of bones and tissues, destined to be annihilated in an aging process.

You've emerged from a universal field of Creation that I've been calling intention. Life itself is eternal, and you spring from this infinite no thing called life.

Therefore we must conclude that life, in terms of our body and all its achievements and possessions, which without exception begins and ends in dust, isn't life itself. Grasping life's true essence could radically change your life for the better.

This shift toward seeing yourself as an infinite spiritual being having a human experience, rather than the reverse - that is, a human having an occasional spiritual experience, is loaded with fear for most people. I urge you to look at those fears and face them directly right now; the result will be a permanent connection to the abundance and receptivity of the universal source that intends all of Creation into temporary form."

Taken from 'The Power of Intention' by Dr Wayne Dyer

Other common fears -

Fear of Failure

If you have ever held back on a goal or avoided taking action that would lead to a positive outcome, you may have been fearful that you might fail. Fear of failure can be subtle because our minds can come up with endless excuses why it‟s not a good time to take a risk right now, or how the odds don‟t seem to be in our favor, and so on.

Fear of Success

It‟s hard to believe that anyone could be afraid of success (isn‟t success usually a good thing?) but it‟s far more common than you might believe. Most often it‟s not the success itself that people fear, but rather all of the responsibilities and uncertainties that come along with success. If you worry that you won‟t be able to handle these things, you will resist putting yourself in a position where you would have to face them.

Fear of Rejection

Fear of rejection is usually related to low self-esteem, but may show up in subtle ways. You may lash out at others when a possible rejection is imminent; sabotage relationships so you can be the one who rejects the other person instead of them rejecting you; or you may simply withdraw from social interaction to avoid the possibility of being rejected at all.

Fear of Not Being Good Enough

This is another fear that is connected to self-esteem, and it often affects everything you do in life. You may avoid making changes to improve your life; settle for a dissatisfying job that pays less money than you are capable of earning; or continuously sabotage your goals. If you don‟t believe you deserve to have better life circumstances you won‟t allow yourself to create them.

A Simple Technique That Can Help You To Transform Your Fear Into More Empowering Feelings: Staying In The Present Moment

One of the most challenging aspects of fear is that it can often twist your perspective so dramatically that you can't keep a balanced view of the situation that triggered your fear. Your fear response is usually deeply connected to your limiting beliefs, which creates a sort of “filter” through which you will see most of your life experiences. This filter will assign meaning to everything that happens to you, even where no such meaning really exists.

Here's an example: Imagine that you recently applied for a promotion at work, and part of the application process involved writing and submitting a detailed report to your boss. Several days after you submitted your report, your boss approached you with a serious expression on his face and asked to speak privately with you at the end of the day.

What would your first reaction be? Would your boss‟s stern expression trigger feelings of fear and anxiety? Would you jump to the conclusion that he must not have liked your report? Or would you consider unrelated possibilities, like the may be deep in thought or concerned about an unrelated situation? Would you remain optimistic that your report was high quality and you still stand a great chance at getting the promotion? Your underlying beliefs will make all the difference in whether you feel fear or confidence in this type of situation. If you have a strong belief that you are not “good enough” (or the quality of your work is lacking somehow), you will naturally jump to negative conclusions. If you feel confident about yourself and your work, you will probably not feel worried.

When you feel that your beliefs may be creating fearful emotions as in the example above, there is a simple technique you can use to diffuse them and center yourself again. In the first moment when you notice your fear and anxiety beginning to rise, stop what you‟re doing and take a few minutes to tune into your bodily sensations. Notice that your shoulder muscles may start to feel tense, your breathing may become rapid and shallow, your heart rate may speed up, and so on.

Begin first tuning into these feelings, and acknowledging that they are happening. You can even say to yourself, “I can feel my shoulders getting tight and tense. My hands are getting clammy. I‟m really feeling nervous right now.”

Then, start deliberately calming these reactions by breathing slowly and deeply, relaxing your muscles and mentally staying in the present moment.

Resist the temptation to let your thoughts race ahead and worry about what may happen, what it might “mean” for you. All of those are merely perceptions – not necessarily what's really happening.

Stay in the present moment for as long as it takes to feel calm again. If you simply avoid letting your thoughts race ahead to frightening scenarios your fear should fade.

Gandhi's 10 Best Ways To Change The World For The Better

Mahatma Gandhi is a renowned figure in world history.

His dedication to the principles of peacefulness is legendary and he was able to accomplish many great things in his life. He is the man who led his Indian people to gain their independence from British rule in 1947, and the philosophy of the man lives on in the hearts of many to this day. Gandhi’s ideas were simple and came from a positive place in his heart, mind and soul. Below we list the ten best ideas or pieces of advice we can glean from Gandhi to change our world for the better.

1. Learn to forgive your friends as well as your enemies.

This is a principle you can find in many religions, and the intent and concept behind it come from love and a desire to abstain from violence and negative thoughts. When you are wronged or hurt by another the natural response may be to lash out or seek revenge. So many times we hear of jilted lovers doing terrible things in the heat of passion or friendships ending due to misunderstandings.

“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is an attribute of the strong.”

It does take a certain strength to forgive someone who has wronged you. Realize that revenge will not erase the wrong that was done, it will only create more hurt. Do not let yourself become a part of a vicious cycle of revenge. Listen to these famous words from Gandhi himself:

“An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.”

Revenge is a cyclical thing. Once you carry out your vengeance, you will bring more negativity and wrong down upon your head. If you can search within and find the strength to forgive your friends and foes alike, then that is far more admirable and better for the world.

2. Realize that no one is perfect.

Perfection is an ideal that no man can realistically attain. We are all flawed beings despite our best intentions. It takes a humble sprit to continue to become better and better. The way to achieve this is through admitting your mistakes and learning from them as best you can.

“I claim to be a simple individual liable to err like any other fellow mortal. I own, however, that I have humility enough to confess my errors and to retrace my steps.”

With a spirit of humility you can see where you went wrong. You can’t let pride blind you in this regard. To do so would be to never truly evolve. The same mistakes would continually pop up in your life because you never properly learn your lesson.

3. To thine own self be true.

Yes, that line was from the famous Shakespeare play Hamlet. The words of Gandhi speak to us and say that we would do well to align our thoughts, actions and words. In doing so we stay true to ourselves.

“Happiness is when what you think, what you say and what you do are in harmony.”

If more people were truly happy it would make the world a better place. Negativity in the world often comes from a bitter spirit, jealousy and hate. Happiness embodies all of the great things about the world such as love, prosperity and justice. When you are not afraid to do what you are thinking and the words coming out of your mouth ring true you are living your life as you see fit. To be true to yourself is a great thing. Follow your heart and let all facets of your being be guided by it.

4. Understand you are in control of your own life.

Sometimes people blame others for their misfortune. They try to find a convenient scapegoat so that they don’t have to feel bad about their failures. This isn’t a healthy way to think of things though and it leads to a bad place. It must be understood that each human is in control of his or her life. Certainly other people can influence you in many ways. Even if others lead you down a bad path the choice was yours to follow that individual.

“Nobody can hurt me without my permission.”

Gandhi understood that ultimately each person is responsible for their choices and actions in life. Be mindful of this when living your life and it will help you to want to make the best decisions possible. If you follow the crowd and do not like where you end up, you were still in control of what you were doing. Forge your own path in life, and have a smile on your face when you reach your destination.

5. You must change yourself to change the world.

The world is not always exactly how we want it to be. Sitting at home and hoping things will get better one day will do little or nothing towards making that a reality. In order to change the world people need to change themselves. The healing starts at home so to speak.

“You must be the change you wish to see in the world.”

If the world were to change and you were to do nothing to change yourself, you would still be a part of the problem. We must seek to continually change our world by making it a little bit better as time flows forward. By inspiring change in your person you can inspire those around you. Simple things such as treating others with kindness, being slow to anger and accepting others for who they are regardless of personal prejudices are great ways to start.

6. Ideas need action to give them meaning.

Ideas are an incredible thing. Concepts such as democracy, freedom and justice look great on paper or in an individual’s head. What if those ideas had never come to fruition though? Without action the ideas are just pretty thoughts floating in the air. Action is what can bring an idea to life and help change our surroundings for the better.

“An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching.”

Letting your ideas be known is positive in its’ own way, but showing people how they work through individual action is the way to go. Dialogue is a part of the process of initiating changes, but ideas must be put into practice. Get out there and start that neighborhood watch to try to deter the heightening crime rate in your neighbourhood. Put your ideas and words to good use.

7. Understand that we live in the present.

The past and future are great concerns for many. People look to the past longingly for times that they cherished. They worry about the future for the sake of their children, wondering what type of world we are leaving to them. In order to honor the memory of the past and ensure the future is a great one to leave to our children, we must live in the present.

“I do not want to foresee the future. I am concerned with taking care of the present. God has given me no control over the moment following.”

The present moment in time is the one we have control over. We can change the way things are now by living our lives as best we can. We can mold the future through our actions now, but if we do nothing but think about times past and times to come the moment will pass us by. There is no going back to a moment in time. Let your mind live in the here and now.

8. Possess the spirit to endure.

Things in life that are worth achieving often do not come in the blink of an eye. Having a spirit that is willing to endure tough times and continue to strive forward is an important quality in achieving great things in this world. One cannot give up due to not getting the result they want the first time out of the gate.

“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”

Being an individual who will persist in the pursuit of your ideals or goals can win you the day. Those who oppose your progress will fall by the wayside while you remain unwavering. It is the person with the most resolve who gets their desire.

9. See the good in your fellow man.

No person is without their faults. Understanding that all human beings are prone to being imperfect, we must see the good in our fellow man. By helping one another and promoting good will the whole world’s situation can improve.

“I look only to the good qualities of men. Not being faultless myself, I won’t presume to probe into the faults of others.”

By understanding that we all have things we wish to improve on, we can help each other live fuller lives. Humanity never would have come as far as it has if not for men working together to build civilisation to this point. Our continued partnerships and relationships will propel us forward for years to com. It is important to get along with each other and to be accepting. When you are with a person understand the goodness within them. Don’t judge them for what they aren’t, form a bond with what they are.

10. Continually evolve and grow.

“Constant development is the law of life, and a man who always tries to maintain his dogmas in order to appear consistent drives himself into a false position.”

If you are a man who is unwilling to adapt you will not last in the world. Certainly elasticity is a great quality to possess. Rigidity of belief and expectations can be a person’s undoing. Continually be willing to learn new things and change accordingly.

We possess the ability to learn, increase our skills and come to a better understanding of so many different things. It is important not to be stagnant in life, because only by continuing to improve one's self can one keep up with the changing world around us.

Are you constantly and improving yourself each day?

Are you making the right efforts to create the life you deserve?

''There's No Point In Living If You Can't Feel Alive''

What's needed more than anything today is for us to operate from our hearts.

Not just for ourselves, but for our children and the others who are impacted by the way we live our lives.


My friend Christian Pankhurst, has been quoted to say,


"There's no point in living if you can't feel alive"


He's got a point.


How much of your life are you not letting in, and how much of your talents and resources are you holding back?

What if the world in which you perceive is just 2% of what's actually there? I mean... what if you are only letting in 2% of the color, 2% of the sound, 2% of the love, 2% of the beauty?


And... what if you had no idea it was only 2%? Wouldn't
you want to know how to access the other 98%?

Now you can. Check this video out now to find out more.


http://www.christianpankhurst.com/jv.html?w=aahsp4&p=innerwisdom

Christian learned this the hard way after awakening from
a numbing depression that lasted for 10 years. He's
dedicated his life since to helping others come into their heart
and realize the vision of heart centered living he so passionately
describes as Heart Intelligence.

In fact, he's just opened up enrollment to his Accelerated Awakening

Christian's program is just two big too describe here. But here are
some highlights:

You get lifetime access to an amazing interactive online environment
which contains over 20 hours of video tutorials and worksheets that

with my sister Clare and am so excited as I know it's going to be amazing!


http://www.christianpankhurst.com/jv.html?w=aahsp4&p=innerwisdom

The list goes on and on, and he's even offering facilitator and coaching
training as part of his bonus package, but none of it compares to the
complimentary surprise upgrade he announces at the end of his video.

This in itself, makes the entire investment worth it.
