Successful Balance

James Ray grew up with a very religious background. He wasn't a typical child who enjoyed sports or social events, but rather he enjoyed reading about all of the religions of the world. As the son of a Protestant minister, James Ray was well grounded in many of the traditional Christian beliefs, but his father encouraged him to have an open mind, and he always supported the other religious studies James pursued.

As a teenager, James Ray wanted to learn how the universe works, so he began studying Buddhism, philosophy, and quantum physics. Today, he teaches people some of the same ideas he gathered in his childhood. He encourages people to dive deeply into one subject and be a true student rather than constantly seeking a bit of everything.

James Ray hasn't always worked in the religious realm. For a number of years, he was successful in corporate America as one of AT&T's top sales managers. In fact, he was in charge of AT&T's School of Business in which he trained people how to think, feel, and act differently.

James Ray left AT&T to venture out on his own in 1992. Before getting into spiritual teaching, he first worked as a corporate consultant and trainer. James felt he could have an impact on the bottom line of a corporation by training individuals within each company. After all, what is a company without its employees?

Later on, James followed his true passion in becoming a spiritual teacher. He started the Harmonic Wealth program as a way to teach people that wealth isn't just about having money. True wealth is the result of spiritual fulfillment and life balance. Even people who are rich beyond our wildest dreams can't be truly happy if they feel financially insecure. James believes life must be balanced in five areas to become wealthy.

The five key areas, or pillars, of life that have to be balanced for fulfillment are financial, relational, mental, physical, and spiritual. To truly set your life on fire, you have to find what you're passionate about and then incorporate it into the five pillars.

Each of the five pillars depends on the others, so that is the reason James Ray feels balance is crucial to success. Just as you can't argue with your spouse over money and have a loving conversation at the same time, or how you can't do your best at work if your physical body is ill, you can't be completely happy with your life if the only thing you have is money.

James Ray has been featured on the Oprah Winfrey show, Larry King Live, and in the movie "The Secret." Harmonic Wealth and The Secret are similar in concept. Just as all five pillars have to be balanced, you have to go "three for three" with The Secret. You have to have your thoughts, feelings, and actions focused on the goal to succeed. Find success through balance!
