True Wealth

We want money, as much as possible. However, having a lot, we are still poor or rich, depending on how we earn and spend it.

How do we earn money?

Some people will do anything, even illegal or immoral for money. They will step on others if necessary. Earning lot this way, we are still "poor." We earn money by providing a useful service to others. In the process, truly rich people help all related people earn and eventually become rich. They deserve their wealth.

How do we spend?

We should not spend lavishly, showing off our wealth while people around us struggle to put foods on the table. Should we be proud of having a lot of money? No, no reason to be proud of. Such pride is a sign of "poverty."

Truly rich people spend just enough to satisfy their needs, using extra wealth to help less fortunate people to have better lives. Earning a lot empowers us to do meaningful activities. Truly rich people are not proud of their wealth but happy to have abundant means to help others. They feel genuinely happy.

Truly rich people know their lives have a divine purpose and are fulfilling it. Their wealth is the result of pursuing this purpose, rendering some profoundly useful service to the community. Then, whatever comes and goes around them, including wealth, does not matter. They feel genuinely satisfied. That is fulfillment.

So, accumulation of a lot of wealth does not necessarily make one truly rich. Truly rich people earn abundance, feel deserving, happy, and fulfilled.

However, poverty is still a world problem! In October 2020, about 689 million people or 9.20% of world population live in extreme poverty. They earn less than $1.90 a day, according to the World Bank. Many people around the world, in less developed and developed countries alike, are struggling daily to earn a decent living.

This book offers a way to alleviate the world poverty and assist a person to become truly rich.

How?

Leveraging on the power of natural laws, we can get what we want. Everything happening around us and in the universe is controlled by natural laws. The earth, so heavy an object, leaning on nothing, has floated around the sun for billion years. The power of a natural law is behind it. With bare hands, Saint Gandhi Mahatma of India mobilized two hundred millions of Indians to defeat the fully armed British army to liberate his country because he leveraged on a natural power of mob psychology.

Earning money is both difficult and easy. Not complying with related natural laws, our tasks become difficult and fail. Complying with them, our tasks become easy and succeed.

Yet, natural laws unveil themselves daily around us in everything. If we greets people we meet with a cheerful attitude and loving kindness from our heart, people have the tendency to treat us with the same attitude. On the other hand, if we show a bad attitude towards others or treat them badly, they have the tendency to have bad attitude towards us or treat us badly. That is the working of the law of attraction.

The power of natural laws is manifesting around us at all times. A blooming flower, a wind blows and shakes a tree's foliage, seasons repeat one after another every year, all manifest according to the power of natural laws, no exception. Just pay attention, we will perceive nature's power and apply it to render our daily activities easier and successful.

The important law of "giving and receiving" reveals how to comfortably earn money. Basically, if we provide a useful service to others, we earn money. In addition, the better the service (i.e., more quantity and more quality) we provide, the higher we earn. Hence, beside learning to provide a useful service, we have to find ways to improve our ability to serve.
