The Secret to Acquiring Wealth

The Secret to Acquiring Wealth

Last night I had a very nice conversation with a friend in which was brought up the topic of acquiring wealth. Reflecting on my own experience, this is the pattern for acquiring wealth that I have discovered. 

The secret to acquiring wealth is:

Wealth - comes from people. It's people that build hotels, cars, restaurants, technologies, and goods that people want.

People - are attracted to power.  Power is security and ability. Acquire power and people will not only be attracted to you, they will trade their wealth for the power you can give them. 

Power - comes from knowledge. Knowing how security and ability are obtained allows a person to live in a manner to obtain them.

Knowledge - is a personal understanding of truth.

Truth - is how things are, were, and will be. 

Light - is a record of truth. 

In this context light is more than simply the light we see with our eyes. Light we see with our eyes is a physical record of the objects around us that our eyes and mind interpret. Similarly, if you have accurate records of things that are happening in your business it's said that you can "see" what's going on in your business. 

God's word - I personally have found God's word to be the most accurate record of truth, or light. 

So, in summary, the secret to gaining wealth is:

Light - Truth - Knowledge - Power - People - Wealth

I often say that one's quality of living is directly related to how much of God's word they can both obtain and apply.
