Take Care With Your Thoughts

Yesterday, in part 15 of this series, we looked at advancement again. We are now getting towards the end of the Science of Getting Rich so today’s post (reflecting chapter 16 of the book) points out some things to beware of.

Doubts

Just because people don’t believe that there is a Science of Getting Rich does not mean that there isn’t such a thing. People may ridicule the idea and be convinced that money and other resources are all limited so competition is the only sensible course of action. They may say that it is all down to the government and that they will have to change things before people can improve their standard of living.

However, The Science of Getting Rich details a very different way of thinking which I have outlined in the previous posts in this series.

If you find yourself falling back into your old ways of thinking then stop because that will hinder you in the process of getting rich.

Future PlanningThe future is looking good

Some future planning is necessary and appropriate but we are warned against spending a lot of time worrying about and preparing for, things that might happen in the future. It is worth staying in the here and now as much as possible. If we are sticking to this method properly then any obstacles which we imagine might come up in the future will probably disappear as we get closer to them. Either that or we will easily find ways round them.

Has that been your experience ? Viewed from a distance, things in the future that we perceive as negative can appear much bigger than they are when we get closer to them. And we wonder what we were worrying about ! Focus on doing your work today well.

Dangerous Talk

Another way you can sabotage your success is by negative speech. Don’t talk about yourself or your work or anything else in a negative way. Focus on the positive and be grateful ! Don’t even consider that you may not be successful. Don’t be disappointed. Don’t bemoan the state of the world. Stick to the vision of your future the way you would like it to be.

More soon.

If you want to read the book, download a full copy of The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles.

This post is my take on chapter 16 of The Science of Getting Rich. See my earlier article about the book.
