REVIEWS:
"I was able to read; "The Wealth in Questions" in very short order.
Just being over one hundred pages with pithy sayings and quotes, this
book may easily one day rank along side books like; Message to
Garcia," "Apples of Gold," "The Greatest Thing in the World," and
books of that type." - _Joseph Slevin, CA_
"This little 105 page book is packed with insights on how to think
to create wealth in all areas of your life... I wish I would have had
this book 20 years ago, it would have saved me much frustration. My
review does not begin to do justice to this books wealth of right
thinking." - _Steve Burns, TN_
"There are a lot of books like The Secret out there that promise to
help you build the life of your dreams. But a lot of the time, the
problem is you don't even know what you really want. If you have the
sense that your life could be more, but you're not sure what that
would look like, this is a great book to get you started." - _G.
Barto, CA_
"A salubrious voice for bellicose times, where being attentive and
questioning, following our passions and emotions, leads to joy and
meaning." - _Kirkus Discoveries_
You can read each CHAPTER'S EXCERPT following the BOOK DESCRIPTION.

One person faces a challenge in life, crushes it, and enjoys success
and wealth. Another person faces the same challenge, is crushed by it,
and suffers in misery and poverty.
What's the reason for the different results? The _questions_

in your mind bring the answers you live in your life.

learn:
* Wealth - Physical, Mental, Spiritual and Financial Wealth - must
flow to grow.
* Doing nothing but sitting silently is the most difficult and most
important work you must do for success.

can lose nothing and need fear nothing.
* Get off the competitive level playing field, bring your unique
eccentricities to your work, and create your own field.
* Replace the question "What is my purpose in life?" with "What is
my purpose in this moment?"

CHAPTER EXCERPTS:
1. The Wealth In Our Questions
Each of us receives illogical and unconventional thoughts and
feelings from somewhere. Depending on our beliefs, we may each have a
different name for this source of messages: Universe, God, Intuition,
Infinite Wisdom, Infinite Intelligence, Universal Source, Universal
Spirit, Spirit, or some other name. The specific name we use doesn't
matter.
Often, because of the noise of society's alleged wisdom that has
been drummed on the walls of our minds, some of us can't hear clear
messages from the source anymore. Or we do hear the messages, but
because they often go against conventional wisdom and logic, we choose
to ignore them.
The sole purpose of this book is to arouse that dormant but
eternally wise part of us using one of the most valuable gifts we all
have - the ability to question. When we don't know, we ask, we seek,
we explore our lack of knowledge. We go on a quest to search for the
meaning behind our life experiences. And we always have the answers,
the wisdom, within us. So we ultimately return to the wise one within.
I will call this wise one _Spirit_, but you can call it anything you
choose to call it. It is that part of us that we run away from because
it is considered crazy by society. It is the part of us that carries
and will always carry our unique wisdom within it.
2. What Is Wealth?
What are some of the beliefs we attach to this word _wealth_?
To some of us, the love of money (wealth) is the root of all evil.
Wealth to many is a bad word. The pursuit of wealth is undoubtedly the
ultimate sin. Sometimes, wealth brings images of scarcity: we don't
have wealth, and we may never have it. Wealth is reserved for some
other person who probably acquired that wealth unscrupulously. Because
of that belief, we do not want to be like the wealthy real estate
developer who tore down the local community center to construct a
multi-story condominium building. We refuse to be unscrupulous, so we
choose not to have a relationship with wealth or engage in any
conversation about wealth. As we all know, it is taboo to discuss
wealth in our society. It makes us all feel uncomfortable. Yes, the
rectangular pieces of paper that we call dollar bills do have that
kind of power over people. Basically, the word _wealth _is not welcome
in our daily lives.
To another group of us, wealth is the obvious solution to all of our
problems. With a big enough bank account, we can buy whatever our
heart desires and forever be drunk with joy. We never need to work
another day in our lives. We can just lie on a beach somewhere, sip a
fruity drink adorned with a small umbrella, and watch life go by. With
wealth, we can buy instant respect from other people. They would never
dare question our opinions and decisions. After all, with wealth, we
no longer need to prove that we are intelligent. We believe, in fact
we know, that to amass tremendous wealth, we must have an incredibly
high IQ, and other people will immediately recognize that. With
wealth, we expect people to wait on us. Since we make more money per
hour than they do, our time is obviously more important than their
time. That's right, we know wealth can do all this for us. In a
nutshell, wealth is the ultimate destination.
Then there are those of us who see wealth as basically good. Wealth
or money is a vehicle to contribute to the betterment of the world.
Wealth creates jobs for other people. In turn, the employed provide
food and shelter for their families and support local business through
their spending as consumers. Wealth creates new products and services
that we can all enjoy. More importantly, wealth enables us to make
significant contributions to help those less fortunate than we are.
Wealth brings with it the potential to attack social problems such as
disease and lack of food or education. For us, wealth is a means to
nourish the world. It is not an end in itself. It is a means to many
positive ends.
_WEALTH - PHYSICAL, MENTAL, SPIRITUAL AND FINANCIAL WEALTH - MUST
FLOW TO GROW._
3. Why Isn't Love of Doing Enough?
Throughout life we are conditioned to believe that the ultimate
reward is in the goal that we successfully achieve, and the journey
toward that goal is a necessary evil. As children, we were trained to
move quickly past the activity in order to get to its reward as soon
as possible. Remember the lesson we learned at the dinner table: "If
you don't eat your vegetables, then you don't get any chocolate treat
for dessert."
This programming is no different in our adult lives. We all know and
accept that we must "pay our dues" in order to enjoy some reward at
some future point in time. Another popular mantra is, "No pain, no
gain." We all believe that those who have achieved significant success
must have suffered to get to where they are. So, if we want to achieve
a similar level of success, we must persevere through a whole train of
activities that we don't enjoy, because some day, when we're
successful, we won't have to do them anymore. The underlying theme
here is that this present moment in itself is not important. It is
simply a means to get to a better future.
_WHY NOT ENJOY THE JOURNEY TOWARDS THE DREAM AS MUCH AS THE DREAM
ITSELF? __THE POT OF GOLD AT THE END OF THE RAINBOW IS A MYTH. THE
GOLD IS IN THE ACTIVITY, HERE AND NOW._
4. Is Our Spirit In Our Work?
The reason why there's such intense competition in the marketplace
today is that most of the work is almost identical. Few products or
services are unique. Few products bring any unique Spirit with them.
This happens when financial reward alone has been allowed to rule over
the process of creating the product. We can tell instantly when a
business has been set up by intelligent businesspeople, from some of
the best business schools, with solid business fundamentals, and zero
Spirit. Something seems stale about their product. The sales pitch
sounds like every other pitch we've heard.
Conformity is the name of their game. We feel nothing special for
their creation. It is just another one of many products in the
marketplace. It is just another entry in the Yellow Pages. At this
point, if we are potential clients, we shop around to find out which
one of these identical products carries the lowest price tag. Price is
our only logical reason for choosing one over the other.
_IF WE CONFORM, WE COMPETE WITH OTHER PLAYERS ON A LEVEL PLAYING
FIELD. IF WE BRING OUR UNIQUE SPIRIT TO OUR WORK, WE ARE THE SOLE
PLAYER ON OUR FIELD. WE CREATE THE FIELD. NO ONE CAN EVER DUPLICATE
OUR SPIRIT._
5. Is Our Work Our Baby?
When our work is our baby, we also begin to notice that life
provides inspiration for our work. The experiences we have in life
somehow find themselves in our work. We unconsciously weave our
experiences into the fabric of our creations. Simple everyday
interactions bring with them ideas that we incorporate into our work.
A conversation, a scent, a news article, or a sight can trigger ideas
that lead to a new or simply improved product or service that we can
then bring to the world. So you can understand why we will never run
short of inspiration as long as we are alive. Life keeps providing new
ideas.
_WE OFTEN HEAR THAT WE NEED TO REMOVE EMOTION FROM OUR BUSINESS
DECISIONS. BUT THE EMOTIONAL CONNECTION BETWEEN THE BUSINESSMAN AND
HIS BUSINESS, HIS BABY, IS THE POWERFUL ENGINE THAT KEEPS BUSINESSES
GOING THROUGH THE TOUGH TIMES._
6. Does Goal Setting Really Work?
Why did we set that specific goal?
Why one million dollars? Why do we have a fascination with that
specific dollar amount of $1 million? Why not $1.3 million? Why not
$10 million? Why not $100 million? Similarly, if your goal was
different from $1 million, ask yourself why you chose that specific
number or that specific goal.
The most reliable answer is that we have been conditioned to believe
that one million dollars, or whatever our goal is, will bring with it
that lifestyle of which we dream. The conditioning may have come from
our peers, from our family, or from the constant barrage of
information we receive through television, magazines, newspapers, or
the Internet.
If we take a moment to think about it, the Universe that steps in to
work with our subconscious mind to bring our goal to reality doesn't
care whether the goal is $1 million or $100 million. So we could
settle on either one as our goal, and, if the goal-setting technique
truly works, we would achieve it. As such, if we analyze this
logically, the goal-setting technique plays its role perfectly.
Therefore, everything being equal, THE ONLY REASON WHY ONE GOAL IS
ACHIEVED OVER THE OTHER IS THE PERSON WHO SET THE GOAL - THE
_GOAL-SETTER_. By setting that specific goal, we limited our own
achievements to what we deemed is a realistic goal.
7. Why Do We Find It So Hard To Do Nothing?
Silence is the medium of communication between us and our Spirit. In
silence, we receive inspiration. In silence, we begin to understand
things we didn't understand before. We gain clarity. A few moments of
silence every day clear our mind of the clutter that has gathered
throughout the day. The clutter comes from the noise of the society in
which we live. The noise comes from books, magazines, movies, TV, the
Internet, co-workers, family, friends - the list goes on.
So many of us also find it hard to do nothing because we associate
physical activity, otherwise known as hard work, with success. All
activity is not good activity. There is no direct correlation between
being busy and being successful.
_DOING NOTHING SHARPENS OUR FACULTY OF CONCENTRATION AND OUR TIMING.
WHEN WE DO ACT, WE DON'T WASTE ANY ENERGY, AND OUR ACTIONS ARE
INSPIRED. WHEN IT'S TIME TO ACT, WE FOCUS EVERY OUNCE OF OUR BEING ON
THE ACTIVITY AT HAND._
8. Why Do We Pursue Significance?
We often believe it is safer to be part of the crowd. It is safer to
follow the accepted trends. It is safer to live like everybody else.
But we all have a genius within. We have unique gifts that no one
walking the earth has. The genius follows his own Spirit irrespective
of whether the world catches on or not. If we are lucky, the world may
recognize our genius. This recognition of our genius brings
significance.
_THE COURAGEOUS FEW WHO DO STEP AWAY FROM THE CROWD ARE EITHER GIVEN
THE LABEL "GENIUS" OR "CRAZY."_ _BUT THE JOURNEY TO THE DESTINATION
CALLED "GENIUS" OFTEN RUNS THROUGH THE CITY CALLED "CRAZY."_
9. Is My Truth Your Truth?
Once again, my truth is not your truth. And your truth is not my
truth. But in our society, we constantly try to transfer one person's
truth to the next person. If someone somewhere is successful at
something, we assume that all we must do is list out exactly what they
did and do it, too. We will then be able to achieve the same thing. We
often forget that the successful person was created with his own
unique Spirit.
Science may be able to clone the human body. But no amount of
advanced scientific technology will ever succeed in replicating a
human Spirit. Furthermore, science can never create in another person
all the exact same life experiences and circumstances that the
successful individual lived in her life. Her unique experiences and
circumstances play integral roles in her success story. Each of us is
born with a unique Spirit. Our Spirit holds our gifts, our
eccentricities, and the things that make us each special. But most of
us run away from our uniqueness. Instead, we choose to adopt the
traits of some other person. We try to adopt their truth because they
are successful. But it is not our truth.
_OUR UNIQUE SPIRIT HOLDS OUR UNIQUE TRUTH. SCIENCE MAY BE ABLE TO
CLONE THE HUMAN BODY. BUT NO AMOUNT OF ADVANCED SCIENTIFIC TECHNOLOGY
WILL EVER SUCCEED IN REPLICATING A HUMAN SPIRIT._
10. Why Do We Fear Uncertainty?
The words "good" and "bad," "success" and "failure," are man-made
inventions to rate man-made games. In nature, nothing is good or bad,
nothing is a success or a failure. It just is as it is.
Certainty and uncertainty are both necessary in life. Certainty
allows us to relax once we are certain about something. Uncertainty
keeps us alive. We don't know what's coming, so we have to keep our
eyes wide open.
_LIFE MUST FLOW FREELY BETWEEN CERTAINTY AND UNCERTAINTY. WE HAVE TO
WALK THROUGH THE UNCERTAIN TO BECOME CERTAIN._
11. What Do We Really Have To Lose?
For utilitarian purposes, we created time, money and ownership of
pieces of nature. But they are fictional. They mean absolutely nothing
in nature.
If we know that we are a Spirit who came with nothing and we will
leave with nothing regardless of how much material we accumulate
throughout our lives, then we can lose nothing. There is absolutely
nothing for us to fear because we have absolutely nothing to lose. How
can we lose what we don't have?
The fears that we cultivate regarding losing our job, money, house,
car, clothes, respect from peers, and the long list of other daily
human worries are insignificant. When people come face to face with
death, they wake up and realize that all that stuff_ _really doesn't
matter. The prospect of death brings this very simple concept to life.
I will never encourage any of us to feel guilty about or renounce
our material possessions. We don't need to repress, we just need to be
aware of what we do when we are doing it.
_SO,_ _WE ARE NOT OWNERS OF ANYTHING. WE ARE CUSTODIANS. OUR STUFF
IS IN OUR POSSESSION FOR US TO ENJOY, NURTURE, SHARE, AND LATER, PASS
ALONG._
12. What Is Our Purpose In Life?
One purpose, one label, one role, will never fully capture our
entire reason for being.
There is always a simple purpose to each moment. All of life lies in
this moment. All of our grand statements on the purpose of our life
must ultimately be acted out in this simple moment.
We don't need to wait for life to bring that one big answer: a life
purpose. We just need to follow our passions and our strong emotions.
These lead to our purpose in each simple moment.
_LET'S REPLACE "WHAT IS MY PURPOSE IN LIFE?" WITH "WHAT IS MY
PURPOSE IN THIS MOMENT?"_
13. Our Mind, Our Questions - Our Life
The questions we nurture in our mind bring the answers that we live
in our lives. The results of our life come from the thoughts we
cultivate. We can't live something if we can't see it. Our mindset
attracts the life we live. We live what our mind sees.
Always remember this: We are what we become before we actually become
it. To put it simply, we become it inside before everyone else
eventually sees it. We think as our dream self would think, and then
the dream manifests itself in reality for the rest of the world to
see.
We are, and then we become. The acknowledgement we receive from the
outside world is always simply a final formality. We are the person we
dream of before others recognize it. This may seem like putting the
cart before the horse, and it is, but it is a timeless law of life.
If we desire any form of wealth - Physical, Mental, Financial or
Spiritual Wealth - it should not be the goal. We should aim to acquire
the appropriate wealth mindset. Then, we naturally attract the wealth
we desire.
_WE ARE, AND THEN WE BECOME. WE BECOME IT INSIDE BEFORE EVERYONE
ELSE EVENTUALLY SEES IT._
