If you take a close look at The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles, you'll soon discover how much this book has influenced the whole Law of Attraction movement. This book is considered one of the most influential books about the power of our mind to create the life we dream about. Here are four keys elements of The Science of Getting Rich PDF by Wallace D. Wattles that, I think, distinguish the book from other law of attraction books:
Everything we see, smell, taste, touch, hear and experience is created from one thing - our thoughts which are energy. And everything you see in your life was a thought before it became manifest. The car you drive, the house you live in, the job you have, the places you go, the friends you talk to; they all started with thoughts.Our life is not just a random selection of things thrown at us at random times. What we have in our lives is there because of the thoughts we have. At one point you had to decide what car you were going to drive, even if it was not what you really wanted to be driving, your thoughts directed you to the decision you made (even if the truth of your logic was faulty ie. you told yourself you could not afford anything better).
You have the ability to become whoever you want to be and to create the life you want. If you are not where you want to be now, think about times you had clear decisions to go one way or another, the paths you choose take you where you are going. Our thoughts are energy, so to design a different life, start making different choices (thinking different thoughts).Next you must take action on the new choices you make. It will be difficult at first and you will meet with resistance. But new thoughts alone will not get you what you want. The Science of Getting Rich says;
"When you know what to think and do, then you must use your will to compel yourself to think and do the right things... You must not rely upon thought alone, paying no attention to personal action. That is the rock upon which many otherwise scientific metaphysical thinkers meet shipwreck--the failure to connect thought with personal action." - you must take action.You have the ability to build the life you want for yourself, it is innate within you. Every living thing is compelled toward more life, and you are no exception, so don't talk yourself out of your greatness.
Wattles further goes on to explain in his book that we can actually create what we want or think. In his opinion, you need to concentrate hard on your thoughts so that you can actually make things happen. It's all so simple - how real your imagination can get depends on how vividly you imagine so that it happens faster in your real life. You need to therefore spare a few minutes each day to classify your thoughts so as to focus only on positive ones. If you were someone who always wondered where the next dollar would come from, you are actually manifesting poverty and heading towards it.
Visualize, It is necessary to visualize: according to "The Science of Getting Rich," this holding of your vision in the "Thinking Substance" will cause your desires to form. Holding your vision should be a part of your work in leisure hours. Contemplate your vision and firmly fix it in memory, see the picture of your future in your mind's eye. Some find it helpful to make a vision board with pictures of the objects of their intentions and desires: while this can help it is not necessary. Make a vision board if it serves you, but don't get hung up on it.
The thing to realize is the visioning process doesn't end with pictures, it encompasses all senses. If one of your goals is a new car, can you hear the sound of the door closing as you climb in? Notice the new car smell, can you see yourself in the car? Now hear the key slide into the ignition and hear the motor start, feel how it feels to accelerate, how it handles on the road. Wattles says in chapter 12:
Man has the power of thought to cause the formation of things and cause tangible results. To do things in a Certain Way, you have to acquire the ability to think the way you want to think. In other words, having the right mindset is the first step toward getting rich.You are neither destined to be poor nor rich. Life's purpose is increasing life so we must get rich, so that we can live more. We must become creators rather than competing for what is already created. Supply is unlimited according to Wattles. So never allow yourself think for an instant that all the best building spots will be taken before you're ready to build your house, unless you hurry!
How riches come to you is if your business transactions operate on the basis of fair exchange i.e. you give the buyer something of greater use value than the cash value you take. In addition, we must ask largely for what we want, have a clear picture in our mind and claim it as if it were already ours. In other words, we must dream big, see it clearly and behave as if we have already achieved the thing we desire in order for it to be. This is possibly the most powerful concept in the book and is explored in other books such as The Secret by Rhonda Byrne and Think and Grow Rich by Napolean Hill.A mental attitude of gratitude can be the one thing missing from people who live their lives rightly in all other. This lack of gratitude keeps them in poverty. Gratitude will ensure your thinking is that of supply as unlimited. Faith is born of gratitude. The grateful mind expects good things, and expectation becomes faith. It's good to cultivate the habit of gratefulness and give thanks continuously. It can be a good idea to keep a gratitude diary on your bedside table and writing 3 things daily that you are grateful for. This will bring you into harmonious relations with the good in everything, and the good in everything will move toward you.
