In his book “The Science of Getting Rich”, Wallace Wattles explains that people get rich because it is the pleasure of Divinity for everyone to express life more fully. “The rich get richer” because they have the resources, knowledge and experience to navigate life toward more wealth. They have the tools for success because they believe they are successful. The thoughts and feelings generated through belief cause the Infinite to work in harmony with our desires.
This century, it seems that wealth is generated by cheating and deceiving others. But it doesn’t have to be that way. In fact, Wallace Wattles says to pay people more than the cash value of what ever you take from them. That is the key to creating and maintaining wealth; by giving more.
Ok Wallace. That looks great on paper. But I’ve been through the ringers and I can tell you from experience, it doesn’t always work that way. Anyone else agree? I just retired from the mortgage industry . . . in Metro-Detroit. I did all that with my originating branch but melted down. I obeyed the laws and rejected fraudulent applications. I gave exceptional service for the same price as competitors that wouldn’t even return a phone call. I approved other company’s rejects. And I didn’t sell any of those “Option Arms” that my competition used to steal my clients; only for them to lose the house in foreclosure due to small print “he didn’t tell me about”.
With a few months distance from that drama, I can now see that I wasn’t flowing with the mortgage industry at all! I was insistent on maintaining my ethics. Those ethics, combined with the limitations of being a small company and the devastating economic environment in my marketing area no longer allowed me to make a living. That’s why riches didn’t come to me through the mortgage business. Besides, I’ve never been interested in mortgages anyway.
So now I do things a Certain Way, like Wallace talks about in the book. I’ve entered the entertainment industry, not because I think it is less nasty than mortgages, but because I really love entertainment. I’ve always loved to sing. I’ve always expressed myself through rhyme. I partnered with exceptional musicians and wonderful people. I'm being Divinly guided into music.
As I read “The Science of Getting Rich”, I was reminded of the visualization techniques I learned in the early 1970’s. It’s important to really understand exactly what we want to achieve, acquire, attain . . . We need to picture it in the mind, focus and consume ourselves in the goal. As a scientific experiment, I decided to create licensing agreements on my songs. I selected that specific goal because it is possible, but the “chances” are very low (better than the mega-lotto and I occasionally buy a ticket).
As I finish my CD, focus on promotion, arrange distribution and form a gig-band, my goal is to attract commercial licensing interests.
Thanks for reading and making comments. The next part to the science of getting rich is gratitude. Come back soon.
