Barn

Through the ample open door of the peaceful country barn, 

A sunlit pasture field, with cattle and horses feeding;

And haze, and vista, and the far horizon fading away.

~ Walt Whitman

You can receive or you can pursue. You can receive the noise and the cruelty of the world or you can pursue beauty in the world around you. It takes effort, but it is worth it.

Wealth of all kinds is like this. You can accept love given in tandem with cruelty or you can pursue love that is more pure. You can receive only the opportunities handed to you or you can pursue things that align more with your dreams. You can receive the wealth you are handed or you can go to the bank and rob it in pursuit of greater wealth.
