Becoming Rich by Ralston Heath
What is rich, what are riches and what does this have to do with you? The answer you give is exactly what your life will mean to you.
Some of you will visualize riches as an unlimited supply of money; a royal estate; a fancy yacht; a personal jet, etc. These are but objects that reflect who you are, they are the tools that you use to live your life. If this is your objective, the so be it, go forth and build upon it in your imagination and, you’ll find it will be well within the realm of possibility to make your dream a reality.
Perhaps you interpret riches as meaning leadership: leadership in politics, in industry, in commerce, etc. Again this is but a reflection of you, you are the one who will bring yourself to this level and in so doing you will have these riches. Should your desires fall in this category, understand that wishful thinking will not put you on the right track to fulfillment. You might think that wishing for both material riches and riches in personal power is expecting too much. But it is not. In fact you can hardly have one without the other.
However you must beware! To wish for both, or even one, will get you nowhere; be careful of that word wish! It can do you more harm than good. Now here is another definition of riches which may apply to some of you. There are those on this earth who possess practically nothing of a material nature, but who consider themselves rich, because of their happy minds and healthy bodies. Yet others who have a comfortable home and a comfortable living (who would not be reading this article) who consider themselves rich as they have what they desire in life.
Here we must point out that material riches can cause unhappiness as easily as they can raise one to the heights of ecstasy. So now at this point we must ask a very pertinent question: “What is the greatest good one may expect from riches?” To have money in the bank; to own a home; to be able to entertain lavishly; to be able to travel anywhere anytime, and to have a wardrobe which would be the envy of all, are a few of the things you might consider as being the advantages of riches.
Think of these things and anything else which might be associated with money and you will still be wrong, as far as an intelligent answer to the question is concerned. The real reason for wanting riches is to be happy. This is the end result of all accomplishment.
Although one may think their goal is riches, in reality they are seeking the soul satisfying happiness which comes with achievement; the riches are the reward for attaining their objective. Riches are a symbol of achievement, they are also the tools given so that you can achieve more.
Every person has a purpose in life; for the most part that purpose is service to others. Whether it is service by leadership, service through provision, or service through knowledge, it is all service to your fellow human and this planet we are on. For example if you are happy being a teacher you will raise to the level that you expect, modest house, bills paid etc. This is where you will stay as long as you are happy.
Your riches will reflect your level of achievement; your achievements will reflect your level of happiness. If you are not happy with your life, then go start achieving something, and soon you will see both happiness and riches.
Be Blessed
