My mentor, Bob Proctor, once said, “Don’t cry over anything that won’t cry over you.” People will often create tremendous suffering for themselves just because they’re in debt or have lost money. They’ll generate intense feelings of anger, sadness, and fear, all of which are destructive and actually make it more difficult for them to regain the wealth they lost. Because they’re upset, they may fight with their spouse over money or become severely depressed, not realizing that the power to create abundance for themselves once again is always available to them.
When you understand that money is simply one form of the tremendous force known as abundance or wealth, and that you can always receive riches from our ever-giving Universe, it becomes easier to let go of negative feelings about money and the destructive belief that material wealth is more important than other manifestations of abundance. Ask yourself how much money you would take in exchange for your eyesight and your abundant health. How much would I have to pay you for you to give up your relationship with the person you love the most? My guess is that your health, your eyesight, and the people you love are far too precious to trade for any amount of money.

If what you receive isn’t money, open yourself up to it with gratitude and joy. Allow your creativity to flourish and you can discover ways to convert the abundance into the form you could most use right now.

Wisdom and knowledge are types of abundance that we often overlook. An antiques dealer I know often purchased items from homeless people who brought him furniture and other objects they’d found in the garbage.
He was always gracious and kind to them, and one day one of his regular sellers, who was a homeless man, noticed that the dealer had recently acquired a gold record by a celebrity.
“You have that underpriced,” he said. “I used to work in the music business. I know.”
The antiques dealer listened to what the man had to say and decided to take his advice and quadruple the price. A few days later, the dealer’s dentist came in, got very excited about the gold record, and said, “Listen, I’d love to own that, but I don’t have that much in cash to spend. How about if I do that dental work I recommended to you, in exchange for the gold record?”
The antiques dealer was able to pay for expensive dental procedures he needed and couldn’t afford, because he valued the abundance that came to him from an unexpected source and converted it into something he could use.

To create Harmonic Wealth-a fulfilling life with riches in every category-let’s think of life in five key areas:
(1) financial;
(2) relational;
(3) mental, (including intellect and emotions);
(4) physical; and
(5) spiritual.
Visualize these as pillars. If you weaken any of them, you start falling apart, either all at once or by bits and pieces. And you can’t strengthen the structure by reinforcing the strong pillars; instead, you must attend to the weak ones-areas of neglect.
Your pillars will never be equally strong all of the time. This is what some people call “balance,” but it’s misleading. You can’t establish absolute strength for all five areas and then keep your life in that pose for an easy and unchanging life. (Thank God!) Life would be uneventful-and incredibly boring.
Think about this: In perfect balance, nothing happens-nothing!
Creating Harmonic Wealth starts with realizing that all five areas must have some attention all the time-not that all five areas demand all your attention all the time.
Please read this thought again and let it sink in.

Practical Application: Creating Harmonic Wealth in Everyday Life
The key in all situations is to plan for finite periods of focus and defocus-but never total neglect. I won’t be able to go into all five areas in this short lesson, but here are some telltale signs of neglect to look for in relationships, because that’s where neglect is pretty easy to diagnose. And remember, the most important relationship is with yourself. So first and foremost ask yourself:
. Do I enjoy spending time alone with me?
. Do I know my innermost thoughts, feelings, and values? Can I articulate them clearly?
. Am I really honest about who I am? Do I take time to reflect?
Simply ask yourself these probing questions, and you’ll get a sense of where you stand – and where chaos may be brewing.
