This morning I was reading in The Science of Getting Rich, (see previous post) that Wallace D. Wattles doesn’t believe that we should be content with anything less than a life of abundance, including lots on money. He is not into poverty at all! In fact he says it goes against the universal laws of life.
“Whatever may be said in praise of poverty, the fact remains that it is not possible to live a really complete or successful life unless one is rich. No person can rise to his greatest possible height in talent or soul development unless he has plenty of money.”
Imagine having so much money because of your successful massage business that you never have to say “no” to something because of lack… Imagine being able to do what you want, when you want, with whom you want and as often as you want…
And when he said “rich” he was not speaking figuratively. He clarified by saying…
“To be really rich does not mean to be satisfied or content with little. No person ought to be satisfied with a little if he is capable of using and enjoying more. The purpose of nature is the advancement and development of life. Every individual should have all that can contribute to the power, elegance, beauty, and richness of life.”
So, Wallace D. Wattles believed that riches are an essential part of life. And let’s face it; with money we are able to expose ourselves to so much more. We are able to learn from great teachers, and have the experience of travel. With money, we don’t have to limit ourselves or the experiences from which we can learn and grow or give back to humanity.
Because I had the money, I was able to travel to study personally with one of my mentors, Bob Proctor who introduced me to The Science of Getting Rich two years ago. And that has impacted my life tremendously. Bob has now become so popular because of the success of the movie The Secret that had I not taken that chance to be mentored by him, it may not have presented itself again.
If money was no object, who would you like to meet and study with? Which conferences would you like to attend? Where would you like to travel to? How would your life be different from how it is now?
