The Science Of Getting Rich: Acting In a Certain Way
[This is part four of an analysis of the The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace Wattles]
Of all the chapters in this book, I probably spent the most time digesting chapters 11 -15. I repeated these parts of the audio book (that I listened to) at least five times more than the others. I think these chapters separates Wallace from many of the other modern day SUCCESS motivators who focus merely on the power of thought and the laws of attraction.
On this post, let’s talk about Chapter 11. Here, Wallace emphasizes that ACTION is an inherent part of the path to riches. You not only think about riches in an occult or magical way. You really must do something about it. This is common sense. However, it is not discussed as often by other books. In fact, other books tend to rely on the power of some explained mystical being that will do that work for you. In reality, that is not enough.
“…you must act in a Certain Way, so that you can appropriate what is yours when it comes to you; so that you can meet the things you have in your picture, and put them in their proper places as they arrive.”
Here’s how it works. First you think about something that will be clearly etched in your mind. For example, you want to have recurring passive income of around $1000 a month. You see yourself, receiving a check mailed to you, at the end of each month. Keep this is mind as your inspiration. It is your fuel to action. The next thing you must do is to actually prepare yourself to receive this check. You must prepare your mailbox. Make it easily seen. Find opportunities that will allow you to actually receive money. Look for real possibilities that will send this check your way.
“This is the crucial point in the science of getting rich; right here, where thought and personal action must be combined. There are very many people who, consciously or unconsciously, set the creative forces in action by the strength and persistence of their desires, but who remain poor because they do not provide for the reception of the thing they want when it comes.
By thought, the thing you want is brought to you; by action you receive it.”
You want a brand new car? Go car shopping. Look at the different models that are available. Choose one you like and then imagine yourself driving this car. Hold this thought on your mind. In your leisure time, imagine yourself traveling the city in this car. Then, work with purpose everyday - in your work and actions while gleefully preparing yourself for your new car. Learn how to drive. Ask if your company has a car plan. Look at the different car loans available. Do anything - do something!
More importantly, do it NOW!
“Put your whole mind into present action.”
You must not only think about it and act on it, but you must also work RIGHT NOW to achieve your goals and visions. You can think about the past and the future, but the only real productive time is NOW. What you do right now is important. It is in YOUR control.
Acting in this CERTAIN WAY then means - think about it, work on it right now, be purposeful and have faith that you will achieve your dream.
That is Chapter 11. If you want to learn on your own, I highly recommend that you download the audio book of The Science of Getting Rich ($5 on LearnOutLoud.com). The speaker’s voice on this audio book is quite clear and strong - it makes you want to really listen.
