Reading this book Journey of Self-Realization by Paramahansa Yogananda. He was a famous guru in the 1920s-1950s. His teachings hold so much truth and are so inspiring!
These words touched me :-
"People should spiritualize their business ambitions by starting out with the idea of serving the proper needs of their fellow being. Not only should man make money by serving, and thereby get something for himself in return, but should also work for the sake of acquiring money to use in creating institutions that will serve public needs. When one has made a great deal of money, and simultaneously helped his workers and associates to become more prosperous, and then uses his wealth for helping others to help themselves, that is spiritualizing ambitions."
That's an amazing truth about making money! I would definitely want to achieve that and make money not only for myself but for serving others. Just the thought of it makes me feel empowering.
