To be rich is to manifest the desires of your heart 

You can't place a monetary goal on happiness. People who only pursue money embark upon a selfish path of greed. Deriving purpose from accumulating money creates a deeper sense of lack. The disease of more chokes out the Spirit. People of purpose, who love what they do, will always have enough money. 

You must discover your Spiritual Desire, your Divine Destiny, your purpose in this lifetime. This is the starting point to a rich life.

Your Divine purpose will enrich the lives of others. The enriching of their life returns riches to you.

One painter paints his clients house to make a quick buck. He fast. He's sloppy. He cuts corners. He leaves a mess. Pays no attention to detail. His goal is money. His motivation is greed. 

Another painter paints his clients house to make it beautiful for them. His motivational is the smile on their face, the joy in their heart and the pride he places in his work. He's careful. He takes his time. All his attention is on details. He see flaws the average person doesn't see and is quick to fix it. His goal is not the check. His reward is his perfection of his craft. The feeling of being the best at what he does. The money is not whats due, or owed to him, it's his reward. 

The Spiritual Warrior is aware of his motivations. He has tested his heart. What he offers to the world is his gift. He understands that to be great is to be a servant. His focus is on enriching the life of others. He is more than a mere painter, he is an agent of light.

You must discover your Spiritual Desire.

You must place all your energy behind your gift.

You must place the full brunt of your will behind your offer.

You must place all effort in the mastery of your gift.

The desire has to dominate your life.

Nothing else can matter.

You must determine to enrich the lives of other.

Your riches reside in your desire, your dream, your gift to the world.

Money is only a transfer of energy, 

the reward,

for paying the price,

for serving others ,

for accomplishing your Spiritual goal.
