7 Free Lessons from the Teachers of The Secret

Are You Using These 5 Strategic Principles From the Science of Getting Rich

Although James Allen's book, "As a Man Thinketh" is probably the first classic on the topic of changing your thoughts to change your life, it really is a hard read. There's not really any practical advice in it to show you how to get what you want out of life.

On the other hand, "The Science of Getting Rich" is full of gems to help you understand how to achieve the life you want. When you understand these principles, you will take the right kind of action to achieve your dreams.

1. Getting rich is the result of following certain principles, nothing more.

Did you ever notice how the universe works on certain scientific principles? We can depend on the laws of physics. They work the same way every time. The principles behind getting rich and achieving the life you want work on certain scientific principles too.

These include knowing what you want (your dream), believing you can achieve your dream and then taking the appropriate actions to reach your dream.

2. God wants you to have abundance, not poverty.

I grew up in the Baptist church. Lots of hell fire and brimstone there. The problem is that those teachings are for non believers. Once you get saved, they no longer apply. If you think you have die first to be happy, then you need to read the Bible because that definitely isn't what it says.

When God created Adam and Eve, He put them in a beautiful garden. Everything was perfect. There was plenty of everything. Adam and Eve were going to live forever, and they would enjoy a face to face relationship with God. That hardly sounds like a god who wants you to be miserable.

3. There is more than enough for everyone.

There weren't as many people around when Wallace Wattles lived, but one thing hasn't changed: there's more than enough resources on Earth to support everyone. In fact, the Earth has the capacity to support around 50 - 60 billion people. Even if you add up all of the people who have ever lived, that's only a fraction of what the Earth can support.

That's why it's not necessary to compete with others to achieve what you want.

4. To achieve abundance, you must satisfy the mind, body, and soul.

Have you ever noticed how Hollywood stars seem to have everything, but they're miserable? In fact, a lot of people who have a lot of money are miserable. Have you ever wondered why?

It's because their lives are out of balance. Money will only satisfy the physical needs. It won't satisfy all of our other needs: health, relationships, the need to be loved. When you acquire monetary wealth, as well as enrich all of the other areas of your life, you will be happy. Understand that money is a tool to help achieve what you want in life. It isn't something to be worshipped or acquired to make us feel better about ourselves.

5. Success in life is becoming what you want to be.

This is the ultimate success. When you have the career you want, the type of relationships you want, the bank account you want, you are achieving in the physical what you want to be. Success in life is far more though. It's a satisfaction of knowing you have achieved your full potential.

Let me caution you though, don't wait until you have achieved everything you want before you allow yourself to enjoy your life. Enjoy it now. Most of the things we want in life we probably already have and just take for granted.

Ultimately, having the life you want is about hope. As Wallace Wattles says, "The world is not going to the devil; it is going to God. It is wonderful Becoming."

It's all about going for it, having the faith to believe and then the willingness to do what it takes to make our dreams become real.
