Step 26 - key to Wealth

The definition of true wealth is someone who is always happy ( Gra ), as the Mishna says one who rejoices with his portion is rich. Avos 4:1.
This fits with the principle - on the path one desires Hashem will lead him. By rejoicing with your portion you demonstrate your desire to be happy by starting with what you have , thus Hashem will give you more.
Thus the verse says
A person with a good heart is always happy as one who is having a party. Mishlei 15:15.
When you focus on the good Hashem is providing you with right now , He will continue to provide you with ongoing parties.
When you think good thoughts , you help bring them about.
Now may be a good time for a gem of Torah study.
