1. The money consciousness is an attitude of mind; it is the open door to the arteries of commerce. It is the receptive attitude. Desire is the attractive force which sets the current in motion and love is the great pipe by which the current is opened and flows completely straight, towards us.
2. Love is just the same as money consciousness; it is wealth consciousness, and as the law is perfect we get exactly what we give; if we love we get what we loved. Money weaves itself into the entire fabric of our very existence; it engages the best thought of the best minds.
3. We make money by making friends, and we enlarge our circle of friends by making money for them, by helping them, by being of service to them. The first law of success then is service, and this in turn is built on integrity and justice. The person who at least is fair in their intention is simply intelligent; they have hit the fundamental law of all exchange; they are possible; they will win surely and certainly; they will know it; they will know they are winning, and they are destined to certain success. They can play fair with the Infinite. The law of compensation will demand of them a service for a service and a favor for a favor.
4. The forces of life are volatile; they are composed of our thoughts and ideals and these in turn are moulded into form; our task is to keep an open mind, to constantly reach out for the new, to recognize opportunity, to be interested in the race only, for the pleasure is in the pursuit only.
5. You can make a money magnet of yourself, but to do so you must first consider how you can make money for other people. If you have the necessary insight to perceive and utilize opportunities and favorable conditions and recognize values, you can put yourself in position to take advantage of them, but your greatest success will come as you are enabled to assist others. What benefits one must benefit all.
