If you pay attention to the people around you what you will
find is that there are far too many persons who desire to be
rich, or to get rich and at the same time believe they will
never get rich, for whatever reason. Usually what it really
boils down to is the mere fact that they do not know what to do
to get rich, or they may know some things but not others. They
are unaware of the principles involved in getting rich and thus
by extension the science of getting rich.
When Wallace D. Wattles release his book ‘the Science of
Getting Rich’ in 1910, little did he know the impact it would
have on many persons lives almost one hundred years later.
According to Wattles (and I totally agree with him) there is a
science of getting rich and in order to be rich every man must
adhere to its principles.
Now what is the science, what are the principles of getting
rich? The major principle, I believe, is a natural law which
states that ‘like causes always produces like effects’.
Therefore the people in this world who are rich, become and
remain rich because they are doing things in a particular way
whether consciously or unconsciously. Those who are not doing
things in this particular way, will remain poor no matter how
hard or how long they work or how capable they are. This
principle eliminates the excuse that the environment is why many
are not rich. You see too many persons from poor backgrounds are
rich or are becoming rich for this excuse to be true. It also
eliminates the idea that doing things a particular way is only
for persons with talent. No, no, no this can’t be it for there
are many, many persons who possess great talent who continue to
be poor, whilst others with little or no talent are getting rich
every day. Let me repeat getting rich is the result of doing
things a particular way. So if you are a plumber and other
plumbers in your area are getting rich from plumbing while you
are not then it will be because you are not doing things in the
same way that the other plumbers are doing them.
The next principle is one that has over the last year or so,
and still is, been getting a lot of attention. It is called The
law of attraction and it has been made famous by Rhonda Byrnes'
book and DVD ‘The Secret’ which was featured on CNN and Oprah
among other media programs. This principle states ‘Thoughts
Become Things’. You see our world and everything in it first
began with a thought. The thoughts that we think are emitted
vibrations broadcasted into the universe, attracting to them
vibrations of the same frequency which manifest what we come to
see and experience in our physical world as our current reality.
Man cannot shape a thing until he has first, thought that thing.
So if a person has the thought of a kitchen of a certain design
and this thought is in line with the same frequency in the
universe, it may not cause the kitchen to just instantly appear,
but it would set in motion events and creative processes that
will bring about the building of the kitchen to the specific
design. For this reason it is important for us to communicate
our thoughts to the universe if we are to cause the creation, or
formation of the thing we think about.
The third principle is ‘The Law of Gratitude’ which is nothing
more than giving thanks to God for his gifts. The more grateful
we are as we focus our mind on God when good things come our way
the more good things we will receive and the more quickly they
will come. Gratitude draws our mind into closer link with God
and His blessing. Many are kept in poverty by their lack of
gratitude. If you consistently and truthfully express your
gratitude and it is strong enough then God’s reaction will also
be consistent, strong and continuous. The things you want always
be moving toward you. When you live your life with gratitude you
will find yourself focused on only the best and in turn this
will bring to you only the best. Waste no time thinking or
talking about the faults and flaws of others or even in you.
Work instead on cultivating the habit of being grateful for
every good thing that comes to you and give God thanks.
The fourth principle is that of Visualization of your desire
and its attainment. You cannot transmit an idea unless you have
it yourself. Visualization is about forming and holding a clear
and definite mental picture of what it is you want. If it is you
desire a brand new car, then it’s not good enough to visualize
any old car. You must be more specific, in fact be as specific
as possible. So instead you must see in your minds eye the car
you want, the make and model, how it feels on the road, the
colour, size of the wheel, its features, and even how you will
feel driving it.
You must see the thing you want as they already exists, take
possession of it in faith believing it is already yours and do
not waiver for a moment in the faith that it is real.
The fifth principle is Personal Action. This arguably the
second most important principle in the Science of Getting Rich
for without action all your thoughts will mean and attain
nothing. You must take definite action now. Your personal
action, however, must be of such that you can rightly receive
what you want when it comes. It makes no sense to desire
something and not take some action towards its attainment, this
will only lead to frustration leaving you feeling discouraged.
There is a quote which says “He who desires but acts not breeds
pestilence”. The way you think brings things to you but your by
actions you receive them. You must act in a particular way such
that you can appropriate what is yours when it comes to you. It
does not matter what your situation is, whether it be favourable
or not, you must not delay taking action. Wait not for
favourable conditions. When you take personal action, do so with
no thought of yesterday or tomorrow as your present action will
be divided in your mind making you ineffective. So put your
whole mind and body into the present action. Take action where
you are now.
The last principle is that of Getting in the Right Business.
You will do best in that business for which your abilities are
best suited. That means it will be easier to succeed if you are
in a business for which you are well equipped with the skills
and mental tools. Bear in mind, however, that you can get rich
in any business even if you do not possess the necessary talents
because you can develop the skills needed as you go along. Also
you can get rich most satisfactorily if you do that which you
want to do. Doing what you want to do is at the core of what
life is about. Now if you are in a business or situation that
you do not want to be in but you have ‘no choice’ due to some
obligation or responsibility like children to support, then do
what you have to do. You can make the doing of it pleasing by
knowing (reminding yourself) that it is making it possible for
you to get to the doing of what you want to do. By making
constructive use of the business you are already in and working
in a particular way, you can get into the business you want.
Always start from where you are.
The science of getting rich gives you the courage and the power
to handle any circumstance that may obstruct your progress
towards getting rich. Once you follow and obey the principles
you cannot fail to get rich. Practice the instructions and you
will surely get rich and you will do so in exact proportion to
the definiteness of your vision, the fixity of your purpose, the
steadiness of your faith and the depth of your gratitude.
