The Master Key to Riches Ch 2

The Twelve Riches of Life

• Positive Mental Attitude (PMA): The foundation of all riches, material and intangible. PMA creates an electro-magnet effect, attracting what you focus on (positive or negative). It attracts friendship, hope, appreciation of nature, fulfilling work, harmony at home, health, freedom from fear, enthusiasm, song, laughter, self-discipline, play, self-discovery, faith in Infinite Intelligence, and meditation.

Other Riches

• Sound Physical Health: A "health consciousness," healthy eating, and balanced physical activity cultivate good health.

• Harmony in Human Relationships: Harmony starts with self-acceptance (being true to yourself), leading to harmony with others.

• Freedom From Fear: Fear is a barrier to true richness. Seven common fears are poverty, criticism, ill health, loss of love, loss of liberty, old age, and death. Eliminating fear is crucial.

• Hope of Achievement: Hope for future success fuels happiness and personal growth. Looking toward the future with optimism is key.

• Capacity for Faith: Faith connects one's mind to Infinite Intelligence, fostering creativity, action, and miracles (not logic or scientific explanation). Faith is essential spiritual fuel.

• Willingness to Share Blessings: Sharing makes riches more fulfilling. Sharing material and intangible riches is a natural law for growth and happiness.

• Labor of Love: Finding a fulfilling job brings immense richness. Labor is expression, the bridge between need and fulfillment, and ultimately, progress.

• Open Mind: Tolerance and an open mind allow for learning and connection with other enriching aspects of life.

• Self-Discipline: Mastering one's self is essential for mastering life's challenges. Humility is important even when reaching success.

• Capacity to Understand People: Understanding human motivations (love, sex, material gain, self-preservation, freedom, expression, life after death, anger, fear) creates harmony and eliminates friction. Understanding others starts with understanding oneself.

• Economic Security: Not solely about money, but about giving value to others. Service can create and shape our wealth. Henry Ford's example provides this through providing employment and transportation.

• Obtaining Riches: Preparation of the "soil" (mind) is vital for attracting the desired riches. Preparation includes being receptive to new ideas, even if they initially seem unusual (like Samuel Morse's telegraph, Marconi's wireless, etc.) Success comes though effort and collaboration ("two outstretched hands" to seek and provide aid). Giving often precedes receiving, and all valuable work has eventual compensation.
