The Happy and Prosperous Blog

Yesterday, in part 10 of this series, we looked at the use of will power in relation to the Science of Getting Rich. Today we look at our behaviour.

Be Ready to Receive

If you have been thinking of what it is you want in life and holding a clear and definite picture of that in your mind then you are part way there. If you have been consistently grateful for what you have and for what is coming to you then you are further on than most people. Now you must be ready to receive the things you want.

It is not worthwhile wondering or trying to influence the processes by which things come to you. That is not your responsibility. It is, however, your responsibility to receive when the time is right.

If some of the things you want are physical things then, when they come to you, they will come through other people. So, you must be in a position to give those people what they need in exchange. Thoughts bring things to you; action allows you to receive them.

Act Now

You must act now. Clearly you can’t act in the past or the future - so do it now. Forget the past - it will only hold you back. You don’t know what the exact circumstances will be in the future, so act now.

Just because circumstance are not ideal for you now, does not mean you should wait. Be in the here and now and act now.

Do not give your creative impulse to original substance, and then sit down and wait for results. If you do, you will never get them. Act now. There is never any time but now, and there never will be any time but now. If you are ever to begin to make ready for the reception of what you want, you must begin NOW.

Whatever your action is, make it in your present job. Yes, you may want to change your job or develop more ways of making money, but start with where you are now. Do the work you have to do today and do it well. Don’t worry about tomorrow’s work. That is in the future. Stay in the here and now. Take small steps.

Every journey begins with but a small step and every day is a chance for a new, small step in the right direction. Just follow your Heart song. (Mattie J.T. Stepanek)

So the key here is to hold on to the vision of what you want, be grateful and ACT now in a positive and constructive way with faith and purpose and you will get to where you want to be.

More soon.
