Possession of material riches without inner peace is like dying of thirst while bathing in the river.

-- Paramhansa Yogananda
 

Howard Hughes is a classic example of what it is like to gain wealth and lose your soul.  He and many others like him should reinforce the idea that money cannot buy happiness, peace or health.  This seems to be a contradiction.  On the one hand you need money to get the things that will make you peaceful, happy and healthy.  On the other hand the pursuit of money can bankrupt your mind, body and spirit.  What is a person to do?  Do Not Chase Money!  Do what you do, using your talents and abilities because it makes you happy.  Do Not Do Things for Money Only!  In everything you do, have a purpose, principle or ideal that you hold dear and will not compromise if the price is right.  Use Things to Help People; Do Not Use People to Get Things!  If what you want or what you are doing is not the highest and the best for everyone involved, leave it alone.

Prosperous, prospering peace is my money
