Wallace D. Wattles spent a life time studying and writing about the laws of success. He studied the great philosophers and contemporary writers. Wallace was convinced that wealth is attracted, as is poverty and every other condition. He taught that barriers could be overcome and success attained by mental discipline. He also advocated building wealth through creation and not competition. His book was first published in 1910.
Wattles insisted that one must first lose any reservations about getting rich and accept one's right to be rich. He dispels many of the myths about wealth and teaches how it can be used for the good of man, especially when it is the result of creative work rather than competitive work. He insists there is a science of getting rich and that many have discovered its laws. Rich people are not necessarily brilliant - they simply understand the laws of the science of getting rich while poor people do not.He dispels the myth that opportunity has been all snatched up and teaches that for those who observe and are open to what the world had to offer there is a great deal of opportunity. In fact he says that opportunity is unlimited, or limited only by your imagination.
As a society we are taught to be skeptical and at the same time we are taught to go outside for approval. This makes for a very bad combination because we stop letting our intuition be our guides and instead work very hard to receive approval from others in terms of career, religion and family life. Living to blend in with the masses is not a path to truth. Instead it is a way to deny our own uniqueness and to bury the gifts within us. By living from the inside out using the principles discussed in the Secret science of Getting Rich, we find true wealth in becoming the best we can be.It takes courage to forge ahead and make a new path and this can be scary for many people. However we only have one life to live and what will we have to look back on when it is over? Will we have been just another good parent raising good kids or will we add to our children's lives by developing our highest potential and showing them through our own example? All these things are possible when we know how to live according to the universal truths that govern our lives. The science of getting rich offers us direction and shows step by step how to do this.
Wattles then urges the reader to reject the idea that we are dependent upon a deity to accomplish our aims. Here he may leave the devout a bit cold and although one need not accept this aspect of his teaching to benefit from what he says over all it is true that he is stressing the power of the individual mind to change reality. Wattles insists that as long as your intent is harmonious with the universe it will support you and your purpose. That is, as long as you intend no one any harm you will be well served by all of nature in your pursuits. And he stresses the importance of gratitude in one's pursuit of wealth and success.
You can not honestly be grateful that something, yet unseen, is already yours if you have not seen it in your minds eye first. But once you see it and feel it, then you can express gratitude that it is yours, even if you do not have it yet. With this process you claim that it IS yours, even though you do not physically have it yet.This process taps into the greatest source of power, it connects you to your source. It lines you up with what you want so that your desire can be manifest for you. What a powerful process.So no matter what your circumstances at the present time, your future can be rich. You hold the keys. There is nothing that you need outside of yourself to achieve a life you desire. The Science of Getting Rich teaches scientific, tried and true principles, that when applied, will make you rich.Getting rich seems to be a most elusive and most difficult catch to make. Many have written about ways to get rich in the desire to present this seemingly difficult endeavor appear reachable. While many of these works present many different ideas, sometimes one can get lost in quagmire of suggestions and prescriptions that ends up in making the issue even more complicated.
Wallace Wattles is the godfather of the personal development field and he was a man ahead of his time. While reading The Science of Getting Rich I experienced a feeling of dj vu, like I had been down this road before. And I had, his concept is essentially The Law of Attraction. Key to Yourself by Venice Bloodworth published in 1952, says many of the same things, in exactly the same way that Wattles said them. In the film The Secret, the book that the creator Rhonda Byrne refers to that impacted her, is The Science of Getting Rich. It's fascinating to see where the Law of Attraction began, even if it wasn't called that at the time.
Wallace Delois Wattles was a "New Thought" writer who lived from 1860 to 1911. Wattles tended to write practical articles and books teaching practices he first tested on himself. His writings covered such topics as health, wealth creation, religion, socialism and what we now call "self help".Wallace Wattles practiced and taught a manifestation technique called "creative visualization". According to his daughter Florence,
He wrote almost constantly. It was then that he formed his mental picture. He saw himself as a successful writer, a personality of power, an advancing man, and he began to work toward the realization of this vision. He lived every page His life was truly the powerful life."In 1910, Wallace Wattles wrote the classic book The Science of Getting Rich. In The Science of Getting Rich, Wattles literally provides an instruction manual that shows anyone how to become rich in all aspects of your life. It has become one of, if not the most often recommended books by self made millionaires.
The law of success in 16 lessons is the significant specific difference which may be forwarded as far as these two successful books are concerned. The 16 lessons actually represent the simplification of an otherwise difficult task anyone wanting to succeed in getting rich faces and sometime ends up fearing. Simplification is key to both works by Wattles and Hill. Simplification means making their prescriptions reachable and realistic. Simplification ultimately means success. Simplification means getting rich.In the last analysis, Wattles and Hill therefore are declaring the same basic point. There is nothing complicated in the path to getting rich. Everything is within reach by anyone serious enough to have that desire to get rich shown by the willingness to do something about it. Wallace calls it a science. Hill calls it the law of the mastermind. Both are systematic approaches simple and succinct to follow.
While The Secret makes reference to a universal law called "law of attraction", the term itself is not used anywhere within the text of The Science of Getting Rich. However, there is no doubt that one of the universal laws or truths that Wattles explains in his book is indeed what we now refer to as the law of attraction.As a result of the success of The Secret, there has been a new influx of interest in (and programs based upon) The Science of Getting Rich. As a result, Wallace Wattles' legacy and influence continues to grow.
