The Happy and Prosperous Blog

I hope you caught the series of articles on The Science of Getting Rich that appeared on this blog recently. The first one was called You Deserve to be Rich. There was a lot to take in there so I’m going to post some more articles on different aspects of that programme as ideas occur to me.

What Goes Around, Comes Around

A little while ago, a friend of mine, Gavin, sent me a CD set by a guy called Richard Wilkins. Richard has written a number of excellent books about what he has learned from the challenges in his life and how we can apply those ideas to our lives. I’ve listened to the CDs (there are 6 of them in the set !) several times and, whilst listening to one again this morning in the car, it struck me how the messages in these CDs fit perfectly with the Science of Getting Rich.

It Starts With YOU

Richard talks about ‘What Goes Around, Comes Around’. Notice here that it is NOT ‘What comes around, goes around’ !! The order is important. I take this to mean that it starts with you (and me, of course !). What we give (metaphorically) will come back to us. The more we give, the more we are likely to get back.

Gratitude

So, the more grateful we are for what we have, the more we will have to be grateful for. The practice of gratitude is a central part of the Science of Getting Rich. The author is clear that it is beneficial to us to be grateful for what we have AND what is already coming to us. That takes a fair amount of faith. Can you do that ?

Giving Value For Money

Another way in which I interpret the phrase is in giving value for money. Whenever we spend money, we all want to get good value for money - it’s only natural. So if that is what we want to receive, that is what we need to give to others. What goes around, comes around. Wallace Wattles referred to this is his book, The Science of Getting Rich, when he spoke about giving people more in value than you take from them in money. So if you want more value, give more value.

Can you imagine what the world would be like if everyone did that ? If everyone got a good deal ? Not only would we get good value, we would also feel good too ! A virtuous spiral moving upwards. It’s all part of the Law Of Attraction.

Let’s do it !! It starts with you (and me !)
