The Inspiration of The Science of Getting Rich

Never in a million years would I have thought that a book written in the early 1900's would have made such an impact on my life.  "The Science of Getting Rich" written by Wallace D. Wattles in 1910 has truly been an inspiration not only to me, but millions of people.  I truly hope that someday, books such as these will be taught in the schools.  This is a lesson not only about how to become wealthy, but how to change your mindset so that all areas of your life will improve.  What an inspiring piece of work.

Chapter Two, "There is a Science of Getting Rich", is one of my favorites. I was impressed when I learned that there is an actual science to this!  I would like to share with you a few paragraphs from this chapter.

"The ownership of money and property comes as a result of doing things in a certain way. Those who do things in this certain way, whether on purpose or accidentally, get rich. Those who do not do things in this certain way, no matter how hard they work or how able they are, remain poor.

It is a natural law that like causes always produce like effects.  Therefore, any man or woman who learns to do things in this certain way will infallibly get rich."

What a concept and one that I don't think a lot of people really think about. I know I didn't until "The Secret" was introduced and I then found out that the movie was based on this book. The movie was good and an introduction to this concept, but I had to get the book and really find out what was involved.

At times, this book can be a little difficult to interpret.  Luckily I found a community that is teaching Mr. Wattles writings.  Here I am learning how to incorporate his teaching into my everyday life.

If you haven't picked up a copy of "The Science of Getting Rich", you really need to read this book.  Not only is it exceptional reading, but it can totally change the way you think about things.
