BELIEVING IN THE DIGNITY AND MORALITY OF BUSINESS. Most people understand that they enjoy greater success when they feel good about their activities. If you feel really good about your profession, you sweep others along with you on the waves of your enthusiasm for what you do. You will become known for telling entertaining tales of amusement about your professional life. Stories about events in your business days can inspire others,and they will be moved by poignant interactions you relate. These natural and positive aspects of your public persona flow inevitably from feeling pride and passion for your work. Increasing your ability to create wealth is not just a matter of your technological know how,and neither is it a matter of knowing what kind of investment to seek,but your ability to create joy and fulfillment in the business object of your pursuit,feeling happy and bouyant every time you go to work. For instance,a substantial and meaningful increase in the amount of money you own changes you and your perspective. You become slightly a different person and people notice the change. Now if extra money makes a new person of you injecting happiness into your life,it easily follows therefore,that making a new person of you is a step on the road to having more money and getting more out of life. Conversely,if you are embarrassed about your business, you set yourself up to fail. Few sales professionals wholeheartedly and effectively promote products or services they feel to be shoddy or overpriced. Not only does your ambivalence inhibit an all out effort, but it also triggers a shame reflex. Instead of winning the approval of the people whose opinion you value,you feel them radiating an almost palpable disapproval of your profession. You shrink into yourself and appear apologetic and embarrassed. This is hardly the picture of success. As a result,you will fail to talk about your work,thus forfeiting the ever present advertising opportunities that present themselves in ordinary social interaction. Feeling virtuous about what you do is an enormous advantage and one that has been of significant importance from time immemorial.Developing a deep conviction of the intrinsic morality and dignity of business injects vast power into any enterprise undertaken. If GOD himself could have approved business undertakings with I am the HOLY ONE of Israel that teacheth thee how to PROFIT and will guide thee in the way that thou shalt go (Isaiah 48:17) and was also favorably disposed to GOLD in creation when we look at In the beginning,the word good is used 7 times as GOD called out the different parts of creation into being and expressed profound satisfaction at the way they turned out, HIS 8th usage of the word goodto nothing than the eternal symbol of wealth, which is money - GOLD. in Genesis 2 vs. 10 -12 Now a river flowed out of eden to water the garden; and from there it divided and became four rivers.The name of the first is Piston; it flows around the whole land of Havilah where there is GOLD. And the gold of that land is GOOD,the bdellium and onyx stone are there..This verse made the Jews very rich and comfortable in the Jewelry business all over the world as they have excelled in doing this (selling gold)all over several nations, the verse also established with our collective subconsciousness that if GOLD a metaphor for money is good ,then wealth is worthy of its pursuit.So to ask for prosperity in your prayers is not against the christian doctrine, particularly where you regard its availability an opportunity to serve and provide for mankind,considering the multiplier effect of a successful venture-the job provision, encouragement of other businessmen to follow your footsteps and sustenance of the families of your workers. SO BUSINESS IS A DIGNIFIED AND MORALLY SOUND LIFE PURSUIT. Reference: THOU SHALL PROSPER ; Rabbi Daniel Lapin
