On Harmony and Order

Harmony is undisturbed peace, trust and good will between and among two or more people who are either living together, doing business together or working together on a social or community project. Harmony is third on the list of the top 12 conditions that are required for gaining wealth. This is so because acquiring wealth is not an individual sport, but a group activity.

Without the concerted and harmonious efforts of a dedicated group, wealth is impossible to amass in the U.S. in the 21^st century. What this means is that wealth is acquired these days by groups of people who work together and share in the profits from their labor as owners of a collective enterprise.

Andrew Carnegie, Charles Schwab, Henry Ford, J. P. Morgan—and the list goes on—all got wealthy together because they each assisted the other to amass wealth. They succeeded because they cooperated together in harmony. Each chose an industry to thrive in that did not compete with the others’ business interests. Because there was no competition between their Master Mind group, they could whole-heartedly help each other in an unselfish way.

As you move into owning your own business, find out what other businesses are compatible with yours and make strong friendships with owners of those businesses. As you cooperate in harmony with owners of businesses that are not in competition with you, you are creating a Master Mind that will provide the catalyst for the quickest and most honorable way to wealth.

Order is the evidence that you lead a disciplined lifestyle that refuses to tolerate clutter, distraction and dysfunction. It is the ground upon which the virtuous entrepreneur builds her business. Order is the house in which your creativity and innovation live. Order is important because without it chaos reigns. Chaos is the enemy of order and the author of confusion. Order is not just the absence of chaos, but the sign and signal that mark you as a person who lives with intention.

Order and intention immediately evoke the mental picture of a progression that proceeds in one-step-at-a-time fashion. Such a progression is a definite plan of action. Without a plan, your intention has no definite object upon which to focus. If you have no definite object upon which to focus, the Law of Attraction will bring you more of the same—confusion, chaos and failure.

If you want to be successful, you must concentrate on a definite goal and give yourself entirely to its accomplishment by making a definite plan to achieve that goal. Order in your life is the clear space in which you are able to do the planning you need to do in order to succeed in life and in business.

Harmony and Order are inseparable Siamese twins: one can’t live without the other.
