There is a secret science of getting rich and many people are uncovering it each and every day. This science is not only about material wealth such as houses, cars and clothes although these things will be available to you once you have truly mastered the science. The main purpose of the secret science is to reveal the true laws of the universe that once followed will yield a bountiful, abundant life that is full of satisfaction and joy. It is about learning to have more gratitude in our lives by appreciating what we already have. Many people might roll their eyes at this notion but it is this exact reaction that keeps us poor.
By adopting this viewpoint, that life is responding to you you can begin to tap into a new world of success. This is a world entered by the way you think, the way you believe, and the way that you feel. It is a life where every second holds the opportunity to change your life because in any moment you can change how you feel. Byrne was able to take the ideas in The Science of Getting Rich and bring them to life in her world and it turned everything around for her.Wattles suggests that you decide what you want and create a very real picture of it in your mind. That morning and night you hold this picture in mind and enhance it. Learn to walk around it and look at it, touch it, what does it feel like. If it is something you get into then get in, what does it look like inside, how does it smell, how does it feel to the touch, how does it make you feel now that you own it. Make it a sensory rich vision that you are part of. After doing this for a very short time, you will begin to get ideas of what you should do to actually bring the object of your vision to you, write these down and if any of them are actionable, take that action.
As a society we are taught to be skeptical and at the same time we are taught to go outside for approval. This makes for a very bad combination because we stop letting our intuition be our guides and instead work very hard to receive approval from others in terms of career, religion and family life. Living to blend in with the masses is not a path to truth. Instead it is a way to deny our own uniqueness and to bury the gifts within us. By living from the inside out using the principles discussed in the Secret science of Getting Rich, we find true wealth in becoming the best we can be.It takes courage to forge ahead and make a new path and this can be scary for many people. However we only have one life to live and what will we have to look back on when it is over? Will we have been just another good parent raising good kids or will we add to our children's lives by developing our highest potential and showing them through our own example? All these things are possible when we know how to live according to the universal truths that govern our lives. The science of getting rich offers us direction and shows step by step how to do this.
Wattles then urges the reader to reject the idea that we are dependent upon a deity to accomplish our aims. Here he may leave the devout a bit cold and although one need not accept this aspect of his teaching to benefit from what he says over all it is true that he is stressing the power of the individual mind to change reality. Wattles insists that as long as your intent is harmonious with the universe it will support you and your purpose. That is, as long as you intend no one any harm you will be well served by all of nature in your pursuits. And he stresses the importance of gratitude in one's pursuit of wealth and success.
He describes with particularity the way you must form clear pictures in your mind of what you want to attain it. He teaches the strength and the power of focused and disciplined intent.Wattles' teaching was not new in 1910 and we recognize in it much of the "new age" thinking on manifesting and creating that is common in thousands of books today. He taught visualization, pioneered by William James and others, and the power of intent, attitude and the disciplined mind. You see his influence in the work of Napoleon Hill and others including many of today's leading authors, philosophers and teachers.
While he is didactic and somewhat narrow in his theory and advocacy, insisting for example that the reader read no other works on success or wealth building other than his book, he has a lot to offer the contemplative mind and was truly a pioneer in many areas of self improvement teaching.Wattles wrote in the common style of the early 20th century. He wrote reasonably well but the text tends to be somewhat pedantic. It lacks the outline format of modern nonfiction literature. If you put a bit of effort forth it is well worth it. If you do not want to work at all at reading this may not be for you.
Think and Grow Rich argues that getting rich is a definite chief aim, a right so to speak, and it calls for a systematic approach as well, called the law of the mastermind. It now is a matter of recognizing the path to getting rich. Wattles first talks of the first principles in the science of getting rich and soon enough goes on to list the value one must look into. He talks of increasing life, gratitude, thinking in the certain way, how to use the will, acting in the certain way, getting into the right business and ends with the impression of increase, the advance of man and some precautions and concluding observations.Minus the final lesson which summarizes the points, Wattles discusses the science of getting rich in 16 lessons.
Even though Wattles focuses a lot on visualizing what you want, having a clear mental image, and behaving as if you already have what you want, taking personal action is stated outright in many sections. "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."This time around, I enjoyed reading The Science of Getting Rich and I saw things I do not remember seeing before. Despite the name, it's quite uplifting and inspiring, and it teaches many lessons such as a grateful heart, humility and thinking abundantly. Here are some takeaways from the book, which will appear familiar to you.
The law of success in 16 lessons is the significant specific difference which may be forwarded as far as these two successful books are concerned. The 16 lessons actually represent the simplification of an otherwise difficult task anyone wanting to succeed in getting rich faces and sometime ends up fearing. Simplification is key to both works by Wattles and Hill. Simplification means making their prescriptions reachable and realistic. Simplification ultimately means success. Simplification means getting rich.In the last analysis, Wattles and Hill therefore are declaring the same basic point. There is nothing complicated in the path to getting rich. Everything is within reach by anyone serious enough to have that desire to get rich shown by the willingness to do something about it. Wallace calls it a science. Hill calls it the law of the mastermind. Both are systematic approaches simple and succinct to follow.
While The Secret makes reference to a universal law called "law of attraction", the term itself is not used anywhere within the text of The Science of Getting Rich. However, there is no doubt that one of the universal laws or truths that Wattles explains in his book is indeed what we now refer to as the law of attraction.As a result of the success of The Secret, there has been a new influx of interest in (and programs based upon) The Science of Getting Rich. As a result, Wallace Wattles' legacy and influence continues to grow.
