Nothing can stop you but YOU

In “The Science of Getting Rich”, Wallace Wattles says that no matter where you are or what position you are in, if you act in a Certain Way, you will become rich. “It is true that existing governments keep the masses in poverty, but this is because the masses do not think and act in the Certain Way. If the masses begin to move forward as suggested in this book, neither governments nor industrial systems can check them; all systems must be modified to accommodate the forward movement”.

But with the state of today’s economy, it’s difficult to maintain right thinking. Many of us spend time thinking about how we are going to pay bills. That’s ok as it relates to action needed today. But what about the time we spend worrying about next month? That is time spent back-tracking. Wonder why your good eludes you? Maybe you spend too much time pushing it away. If thought fueled by belief draws the object to the thinker, opposite thinking can send it packing.

Wallace Wattles says “When you make a failure, it is because you have not asked for enough; keep on, and a larger thing then you were seeking will certainly come to you. Remember this”. Now I look at it as a direction away from that market. Maybe if I were to be “successful” in the “spiritual” niche, I would not be successful in a bigger niche. Modern business and personal coaches agree.

In an article called Embrace Failure By Byron Pulsifer, it says “Failure goes hand in hand with success. In other words, failure allows you to back up and re-load, to dissect what went wrong, what went right, what not to do again, what should be done differently, or faster, or more efficiently. It tells you what you need to learn, what information you should digest, and prepares you to know success when you've attained it.

Failure is also a pointed test on your perseverance, your commitment to do what it takes, and your ability to move over, around, bypass, or turn obstacles into advantages. Think of failure to get to pint A by taking a certain highway only to find your way blocked by a fallen tree, or a bridge that has washed out. If you simply turn around and find your way back home, you've not only experienced failure to get to point B, you've clearly demonstrated that your desire to get to point B wasn't strong enough, that you allow any obstacle to sway you from your course, and you've allowed yourself to make an erroneous assumption that there wasn't another coarse open to you
”.

Anthony (Tony) Robbins is quoted as saying “I've come to believe that all my past failure and frustration were actually laying the foundation for the understandings that have created the new level of living I now enjoy”.
