power or authority wisely. Some men crave power others crave
money.
If you set your heart on money exclusively and say, “Money is all I
want; I am going to give all my attention to amassing money; nothing
else matters,” you can get money and attain a fortune, but you have
forgotten that you are here to lead a balanced life. You must also
satisfy the hunger for peace of mind, harmony, love, joy, and perfect
health.
By making money your sole aim, you simply made a wrong choice.
You thought that was all you wanted, but you found after all your
efforts that it was not only the money you needed. You also desired
true expression of your hidden talents, true place in life, beauty, and
the joy of contributing to the welfare and success of others. By
learning the laws of your subconscious mind, you could have a million
dollars or many millions, if you wanted them, and still have peace of
mind, harmony, per-fect health, and perfect expression.
- Poverty is a mental disease
There is no virtue in poverty; it is a disease like any other mental
disease. If you were physically ill, you would think there was
something wrong with you. You would seek help and do something
about the condition at once. Likewise, if you do not have money
constantly circulating in your life, there is some-thing radically wrong
with you.
The urge of the life principle in you is toward growth, ex-pansion,
and the life more abundant. You are not here to live in a hovel, dress
in rags, and go hungry. You should be happy, prosperous, and
successful.
- Why you must never criticize money
Cleanse your mind of all weird and supe rstitious beliefs about
money. Do not ever regard money as evil or filthy. If you do, you
cause it to take wings and fly away from you. Remember that you lose
what you condemn. You cannot attract what you criticize.
