A Portion Of All You Earn Is Yours To Keep

The universal reality that you get to keep a portion of everything that you earn in life when you understand it, can make you genuinely rich. In concept, this sounds bad, because it seems like you are paying most of what you earn and keeping very little of what is earned. But, in reality, if you use that portion correctly, you can ultimately earn much more if you simply understand the full import of that universal reality that you keep for yourself or benefit from a portion of what you earn. Here is how. I based the title of this article on a book by a great writer called "The Richest Man In Babylon" which had the affirmation in the first chapter of that book used in the title of this article in it as an underpinning for the instruction in the parables he wrote inside the book. But, I am using this reality a little differently. The portion you keep gets bigger as you use it better, to start out the main part of this article. The portion you keep gets bigger as you use it better as you genuinely grow also, make everything else beneficial, including your positive income and spending capacity grows with it. If you try to keep all that you earn, you use it up much quicker and cannot renew anything because you do not invest what you keep and increase your capacity for action and growth.

The fact that we usually start small and slow and become big and fast, should tell us something definitive. What it tells us all is that we must build rationally and work steadily and when it is given it is easier to use up and deplete because we do not learn to make more.


Teach a man to go fishing in the lake and cook it himself, he eats for life. Give a man a fish, he eats for a few minutes."

That is an old Native American proverb that explains this whole article easily if I stopped here, indeed. But I will explain myself some more, and expand on what I have already done here. Sure, if we are given something without knowing how to produce it ourselves, there is less chance to expand and work with what is earned. If we make it ourselves, we can duplicate and better the process to ever better levels. That is where the power is. That is where the strength and potency is. Where the potency is not however is when it comes too easily, and we do not know how to duplicate the results ourselves. My point is: Explore the full meaning of "A part of all I earn is mine to keep" and you will get, become and stay genuinely rich at all levels ultimately. If I told you it would happen now without work and ambition to benefit on your part, ditch this article now, and expect your hand out because the power is in the opportunities we make, understand and use ourselves to be richer.
