Can success bring spiritual fulfillment?
Let’s start with the first element of enlightenment: it’s all the same damn thing! There is no duality. Everything is one. It’s all one thing with different looks and different energies. Further, if it’s all oneness and everything is part of that oneness, then material success, i.e. getting rich, must be part of that oneness, unless we make success mean something else, something different rather than an expression of the oneness of all.
Separation is an illusion. We cannot separate spirituality, or kindness, or generosity, from material success, or money, or relationships, or anything until we decide to separate them. As they are, they are one thing.
The Connection Between Happiness and Success
Does success lead to a form of happiness? Yes, but not pure happiness. When you’re not successful, it certainly leads to ill feelings, true or true? When you’re not successful, how do you feel about living your mission and your purpose on a daily basis? It’s very hard, isn’t it?
To me, true happiness comes from a connection to your higher self, a connection to knowing that it will manifest itself regardless of success or failure, comfort or discomfort. When we get into the practice of connecting with this higher sense on a more and more consistent basis, we set ourselves up for success to come from that inner happiness and peace. We start to teach ourselves not to expect it the other way around — that is, waiting for success in order to be happy.
The most perfect situation in your life would be to live your purpose and get rich, and then use that money to help other people even more. What more could one ask for?
If you could spend 8 or 10 hours a day in your business, and that business — what you do for people, how you help solve their problem — is your true mission and purpose in life, what a blessing that would be. When you don’t have to separate your mission from what you do every day, you’ve found the Holy Grail.
Happiness leads to success. Success leads to money to be able to help others as well as yourself. If you’re successful for those reasons, and if you can focus on those reasons, what a beautiful life, yes or yes?
Why You Can Be Spiritual, Kind, Generous, Loving AND Really, Really Rich
I think it’s my highest gift to be able to show people, motivate people, cajole people, persuade people, —virtually drag people if I have to! — into understanding that they can be kind, generous, loving and spiritual and really, really rich!
When you can believe this, your life will change. You are already a heart-based person. You want to be kind. Further, you want to be loving. You want to be generous, and you want to be rich.
Be a good person in your business. Be a kind person in your business. Moreover, be a generous person in your business, and be intent on being loving in your business. That means loving your clients, your customers, your employees, and the people that you work with.
Then do the things we teach you to do. Follow the strategies in the programs we offer in order to get rich. If you set up your business the way we teach you to set it up, you will be rich. I can say that with confidence, because I’ve done it myself and have taught other people to do it successfully as well.
Rich is a result. It’s a result of being a good person. Do you think you could be a jerk and rich? You can, but not for long. Besides, that’s not really rich anyway, is it? You don’t have a rich life when you’ve got a dark heart.
Be nice. Be spiritual. Intend to continue growing your mind and your heart and get rich in the process.

Harv,
I have been a student of yours since 2005, and I have learned so much from attending your seminars, webinairs,reading your book(major breakthrough for me) and listening to the cd.
Admittedly, I am NOT where I want to be financially, but I believe I would be, if I had followed your instructions to the letter in a consistent manner?
The topic spirituality and wealth is a major one for me,and I now have the very same view about the two as you.
Thank you for your generous heart! It is appreciated.

Hello harv
Am usually not a reader but I want to say thank you because every word u wrote or said is 95percent true in people’s lives, we create our own problems by our negative thinking. Like I said am not a reader but I was determined to finish it, I believe i am set for greatness if I believe in myself and walk towards it.
Jacob Dauda says
I can’t have a rich life and a dark heart ♥ at the same time. It stood out for me. Thumbs up to you Harv.
Julia Mendoza says
completamente de acuerdo, vivir día a día haciendo lo que uno ama sabiendo que será de trascendencia y el plus es la riqueza la energía es grande, el problema es cuando pierdes de vista tu propósito, ya la vida no tiene sentido
Amos says
Mind blowing, thank you, sir.
Ithia says
You don’t have a rich life when you have a dark heart. Very true! If you miss these pieces of kindness, good heart, humbo be a real loving, spiritual and amazing person, you don’t have a really, really happy rich life. Why? Because without that important fact, spiritual fulfillment you can’t find purpose and happiness on your life and business. Happiness = Success = Money = help others and yourself. True statement 😉
