That which makes you want more money is the same as that which makes the plant grow; it is life seeking fuller expression.
Interpretation
Desire for wealth is a natural part of life and growth.
This quote by Wallace D. Wattles suggests that the drive to accumulate wealth is fundamentally linked to the instinct of life to strive for growth and fulfillment. Just as a plant seeks sunlight and nutrients to thrive, individuals inherently seek more resources and opportunities in order to express their fullest potential and enrich their existence.
In practice
This quote can inspire entrepreneurs to pursue their dreams and financial goals.
In daily life we must see that it is not happiness that makes us grateful, but gratefulness that makes us happy. It is necessary, then, to cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.
You want to get rich in order that you may surround yourself with beautiful things, see distant lands, feed your mind, and develop your intellect; in order that you may love others and do kind things, and be able to play a good part in helping the world to find truth.
Many people who order their lives rightly in all other ways are kept in poverty by their lack of gratitude.
Whatever you habitually think yourself to be, that you are. You must form, now, a greater and better habit; you must form a conception of yourself as a being of limitless power, and habitually think that you are that being. It is the habitual, not the periodical thought that decides your destiny.
Never look at the visible supply; always look at the limitless riches in the formless substance and know that they are coming to you as fast as you can receive and use them.
I'm always looking for things that are so incredibly present that they become invisible.
There is a much more exact correspondence between the natural and moral world than we are apt to take notice of.
God's hand never slips. He never makes a mistake. His every move is for our own good and for our ultimate good.
A life spent entirely in public, in the presence of others, becomes, as we would say, shallow. While it retains its visibility, it loses its quality of rising into sight from some darker ground which must remain hidden if it is not to lose its depth in a very real, non-subjective sense.
Can a man of perception respect himself at all?
So farewell hope, and with hope farewell fear,Farewell remorse: all good to me is lost;Evil,be thou my good.
