The Science of Getting Rich Wallace Wattles Part-2
The core philosophy of this teaching is that wealth and success are not matters of luck, but results of a scientific application of mental laws. Your mind is described as a powerful machine, similar to a JCB (excavator); while a person with a hand shovel can only do so much, the mind can dig deeper and faster to build a foundation for your dreams. This process involves moving ideas from the "Invisible Realm"—the world of thought and imagination—into the "Visible Realm" of physical reality. By taking the "Driver’s Seat" of your mind, you can control the steering wheel of your destiny
Core Principles for Success
- The Goal Card: Clarity is essential for manifestation. You are encouraged to write your single most important goal on a card and carry it with you at all times, looking at it in the morning, throughout the day, and before sleep.
- The 10% Rule: To align with the laws of abundance, it is a non-negotiable habit to save or set aside 10% of your net earnings. This practice serves as a physical acknowledgment of your prosperity.
- The Power of Choice: While you cannot control external events, such as the weather or the reactions of others, you have 100% control over your own reactions and internal state. Staying happy and focused on your goal regardless of circumstances is the primary work of a successful person.
- The Law of Action: A thought remains "dead" or ineffective until it is implemented through action. Success requires both the mental blueprint and the physical effort to bring it to life
Key Learning Points
- Service as the Source of Wealth: According to the Law of Compensation, your financial rewards will always be in direct proportion to the quality and quantity of the service you provide. You cannot expect a reward without first providing value, much like you cannot get heat from a fireplace without first adding wood.
- The Principle of Over-Delivery: True success is found when you deliver more value than what is expected for the price paid. This "extra mile" creates a magnetic pull for future business and opportunities.
- Clearing Subconscious Barriers: If you experience recurring failures, the root is often a negative belief or "weed" planted during childhood. To succeed, you must enter into silence, identify these past traumas or beliefs, and remove them through forgiveness and self-reflection.
- The Discipline of Positivity: Thinking positively is more difficult than thinking negatively, which is why only a small percentage of people achieve great success. You must actively replace every fearful or negative thought with a vivid, positive image of your goal.
- Ask and Receive: You should not worry about how a goal will be achieved; that is the job of the Universe. Your responsibility is to ask clearly, seek opportunities, and "knock" on doors with confidence
