ON GETTING RICH  [or making yourself as wealthy as any human being!]

     Materially, I have more than what I need.  By most standards, I am rich.   There are many with far more money.  Yet, I believe I am as wealthy as any other human being I know, or know of.  Indeed, one of the wealthiest millionaires I’ve met was also one of the most miserable.  I know how I have become rich.  I have observed others who have become rich, identified and copied the active ingredients of what worked for them, added a few ideas myself, and put them into practice.  I have also put these ideas into a step-by-step easy readable, teachable study program.  By creating this program, which I offer free to others, with the intent to share the wealth, my wealth continues to grow.  It seems the more I give away, the more I have.  I also have no doubt that you have available to you the resources to become equally wealthy.   What follows is the information and directions on how to proceed.

     WHAT IS BEING RICH?

     I consider myself wealthy because I am enthusiastic about living, eager, even “anxious” to spread my wealth in the hope that so doing benefits others.  What a great satisfaction to create something of worth!  I am wealthy because I have a best friend who is with me virtually all the time ... myself.   As a result of being a good friend and companion, I have acquired a number of other friends and intimate relationships.  None have the presence and intensity of the friend that lives within, but they are extremely significant and greatly contribute to my wealth.  I have peace-of-mind from the “I am my worst enemy” type of demon that is a common problem.  And I have learned to direct much of the natural anxiety we each experience to energy, gasoline if you will, that can be directed to creative fulfilling activity. 

     I know and know of many persons who are quite unhappy in spite of abundance of material wealth and physical health.  Some have even murdered themselves, what we call suicide.  I also know quite a few persons who are quite materially impoverished, even lack the most basic physical health and yet enthusiastically and enjoyably proceed with their lives.  Likely, you know such people.  I am not opposed at all to material wealth.  Indeed, much of my energy has been directed to its pursuit.  I whole-heartedly recommend if given a choice between material wealth and poverty, choose the former. 

     Yet, I hope you will agree that real wealth is attaining and maintaining our well-being, enthusiasm for living, creative fulfillment, feeling, experiencing, and exercising the power of the freedom to grow and become someone of our choosing.  I believe the immense capacity we have to develop our thinking is a gift beyond any other known creature; it is a precious resource to wealth.  You have that resource.  You also have the five ingredients needed to develop that resource.  I have applied considerable energy over many years to observe and study what really rich people have done to attain their wealth ... bit-by-bit.   I offer my findings to you.   Take it or leave it.  No charge.  No hard feelings.  It’s your choice.
