Your Right To Be Rich

"Just like the harmony created by each unique andnimportant instrument in an orchestra causes yournemotions to soar, complete harmony in your lifencauses your level of happiness, wealth and successnto soar."nn- James Arthur RaynnnThere is nothing wrong in wanting to get rich. Thendesire for riches is really the desire for a richer,nfuller, and more abundant life; and that desire isnpraise worthy.nnThere are three motives for which we live; we livenfor the body, we live for the mind, we live for thensoul.nnNo one of these is better or holier than the other;nall are alike desirable, and no one of the three--body,nmind, or soul--can live fully if either of the othersnis cut short of full life and expression.nnIt is not right or noble to live only for the soulnand deny mind or body; and it is wrong to live fornthe intellect and deny body or soul. nnWe are all acquainted with the loathsome consequencesnof living for the body and denying both mind and soul;nand we see that real life means the complete expres-nsion of all that people can give forth through body,nmind, and soul.nnWhatever you can say, no one can be really happy ornsatisfied unless their body is living fully in everynfunction, and unless the same is true of their mindnand their soul. Wherever there is unexpressed poss-nibility, or function not performed, there is unsatis-nfied desire.nnDesire is possibility seeking expression, or functionnseeking performance.nnYou cannot live fully in body without good food,ncomfortable clothing, and warm shelter; and withoutnfreedom from excessive toil. Rest and recreation arenalso necessary to your physical life.nnYou cannot live fully in mind without books and timento study them, without opportunity for travel andnobservation, or without intellectual companionship. nnTo live fully in mind you must have intellectualnrecreations, and must surround yourself with all thenobjects of art and beauty you is capable of using andnappreciating. nnTo live fully in soul, you must have love; and lovenis denied expression by poverty. Our highest happinessnis found in the bestowal of benefits on those we love;nlove finds its most natural and spontaneous expressionnin giving.nnn
