Dealing with Fear
“If you don’t attempt to get over your doubts and fears, you’ll never discover how wonderful it is to live without them.”
– Colin McArty
“Of all base passions, fear is the most accursed.”
– William Shakespeare
The Science Of Getting Rich
The Science Of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles is a timeless classic written many years ago. Over a century ago, in fact.
But it's a practical, step-by-step guide whose thought-provoking principles and strategies, though they were written in 1910, are still very much applicable to this day. And probably more so.
I'm a firm believer in the idiom that you are what you think. And this book drives that point home. So I highly recommend that your read this book, which is brought to you free on this website.
Cautions and Observations
Many people will scoff at the idea that there is an exact science of getting rich. Holding the impression that the supply of wealth is limited, they will insist that social and governmental institutions must be changed before even any considerable number of people can acquire a competence.
But this is not true.
It is true that existing governments keep the masses in poverty, but this is because the masses do not think and act in the certain way.
The Advancing Personality
What I have said in the last chapter applies as well to the professional person and the wage-earner as to the person who is engaged in selling or any other form of business.
No matter whether you are a physician, a teacher, or a clergyman, if you can give increase of life to others and make them sensible of that fact, they will be attracted to you, and you will get rich. The physician who holds the vision of himself as a great and successful healer, and who works toward the complete realization of that vision with faith and purpose, as described in former chapters, will come into such close touch with the source of life that he will be phenomenally successful; patients will come to him in throngs.
The Impression of Increase
Whether you change your vocation or not, your actions for the present must be those pertaining to the business in which you are now engaged.
You can get into the business you want by making constructive use of the business you are already established in — by doing your daily work in the certain way.
Efficient Action
You must use your thought as directed in previous chapters and begin to do what you can do where you are, and you must do all that you can do where you are.
You can advance only by being larger than your present place, and no one is larger than his present place who leaves undone any of the work pertaining to that place.
Acting in The Certain Way
Thought is the creative power or the impelling force which causes the creative power to act. Thinking in a certain way will bring riches to you, but you must not rely upon thought alone, paying no attention to personal action. That is the rock upon which many otherwise scientific thinkers meet shipwreck — the failure to connect thought with personal action.
We have not yet reached the stage of development, even supposing such a stage to be possible, in which a person can create directly from formless substance without nature’s processes or the work of human hands. A person must not only think, but his personal action must supplement his thought.
