Could You See Yourself Being Rich?

For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Mark: 11:23

We don’t cut corners! I heard a radio program once where the guest said that in America, you have the ability to become anything you want to become, limited only by your imagination and your willingness to work. But then the guest said something very interesting: he said that if you want to be rich, don’t become a teacher, firefighter or police officer. Those aren’t professions where you will become rich. They’re meaningful, important work, but if you know what you want and it’s to be rich, don’t go in that direction.

You’re in for a pleasant surprise! Here it is, being rich is a decision. In the paths you choose in your life, you must make a decision about what you want. Do you want to be wealthy? Do you want to help people? Do you want to make a difference in politics? Do you want to start a business and create jobs? Those are all worthy pursuits, but not all will lead to riches. Before you can decide on the direction you will choose for yourself, determine what you want. If you don’t, you will find yourself resentful, living in a world of delusion.

For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Proverbs: 23:7

If you think that you’re good enough, then the real question is, how do you define being rich for yourself? There are as many definitions as there are people. We talk about being wealthy, but while wealth for some means having millions in the bank, a mansion and a Bentley in the driveway, for others it means making a comfortable living while being able to make a difference in the lives of people in the community. For one man, rich means being able to travel for six months out of the year, while for another it means having the freedom to self-publish his books of poetry and make a good living with his creativity. For Cosmic Economics, we can define wealth this way:

Wealth is whatever gives you a life where you do not know
material, emotional, intellectual or spiritual want.

You can see how that would be different from person to person! One man might have lavish tastes and want to drink Cristal every night, so making $500,000 a year would be important to satisfy his needs. Another man might love organic gardening and simple foods, so riches to him would be owning his own home with a large yard where he could garden and sell his produce as his living. At the same time, a man who has millions in net worth but is lonely because he has no woman in his life is not rich. He has monetary wealth, but he knows emotional want.

(The Lord God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye are) Deuteronomy: 1:11

Delve into it for as you gain in your understanding of Cosmic Economics, it will become increasingly important for you to make the decision about what “wealth” means to you. Choose your path and your riches carefully. Then change your consciousness and nothing in the world will be able to stop you bringing them to pass.

Say goodbye to lack!
