I want you to enjoy this book. I have the full version and I will bring to you one chapter at a time on this platform.
The Book is;
THE SCIENCE OF GETTING RICH
by Wallace D. Wattles
CHAPTER 1
The Right To Be Rich.
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 man can rise
to his greatest possible height in talent or soul development unless he has
plenty of money; for to unfold the soul and to develop talent he must have many
things to use, and he cannot have these things unless he has money to buy them
with.
Read all by clicking the read more below....
A man
develops in mind, soul, and body by making use of things, and society is so
organized that man must have money in order to become the possessor of things;
therefore, the basis of all advancement for man must be the science of getting
rich.
The object
of all life is development; and everything that lives has an inalienable right
to all the development it is capable of attaining.
Man's
right to life means his right to have the free and unrestricted use of all the
things which may be necessary to his fullest mental, spiritual, and physical
unfoldment; or, in other words, his right to be rich.
In this
book, I shall not speak of riches in a figurative way; to be really rich does
not mean to be satisfied or contented with a little. No man ought to be
satisfied with a little if he is capable of using and enjoying more. The
purpose of Nature is the advancement and unfoldment of life; and every man
should have all that can contribute to the power; elegance, beauty, and
richness of life; to be content with less is sinful.
The man
who owns all he wants for the living of all the life he is capable of living is
rich; and no man who has not plenty of money can have all he wants. Life has
advanced so far, and become so complex, that even the most ordinary man or
woman requires a great amount of wealth in order to live in a manner that even
approaches completeness. Every person naturally wants to become all that they
are capable of becoming; this desire to realize innate possibilities is
inherent in human nature; we cannot help wanting to be all that we can be.
Success in life is becoming what you want to be; you can become what you want
to be only by making use of things, and you can have the free use of things
only as you become rich enough to buy them. To understand the science of
getting rich is therefore the most essential of all knowledge.
There is
nothing wrong in wanting to get rich. The desire for riches is really the
desire for a richer, fuller, and more abundant life; and that desire is praise
worthy. The man who does not desire to live more abundantly is abnormal, and so
the man who does not desire to have money enough to buy all he wants is
abnormal.
There are
three motives for which we live; we live for the body, we live for the mind, we
live for the soul. No one of these is better or holier than the other; all are
alike desirable, and no one of the three--body, mind, or soul--can live fully
if either of the others is cut short of full life and expression. It is not
right or noble to live only for the soul and deny mind or body; and it is wrong
to live for the intellect and deny body or soul.
We are all
acquainted with the loathsome consequences of living for the body and denying
both mind and soul; and we see that real life means the complete
expression of all that man can give forth through body, mind, and soul.
Whatever he can say, no man can be really happy or satisfied unless his body is
living fully in every function, and unless the same is true of his mind and his
soul. Wherever there is unexpressed possibility, or function not performed,
there is unsatisfied desire. Desire is possibility seeking expression, or
function seeking performance.
Man cannot
live fully in body without good food, comfortable clothing, and warm shelter;
and without freedom from excessive toil. Rest and recreation are also necessary
to his physical life .
He cannot
live fully in mind without books and time to study them, without opportunity for
travel and observation, or without intellectual companionship.
To live
fully in mind he must have intellectual recreations, and must surround himself
with all the objects of art and beauty he is capable of using and appreciating.
To live
fully in soul, man must have love; and love is denied expression by poverty.
A man's
highest happiness is found in the bestowal of benefits on those he loves; love
finds its most natural and spontaneous expression in giving. The man who has
nothing to give cannot fill his place as a husband or father, as a citizen, or
as a man. It is in the use of material things that a man finds full life for
his body, develops his mind, and unfolds his soul. It is therefore of supreme
importance to him that he should be rich.
It is perfectly right that you should desire to be rich; if you are a
normal man or woman you cannot help doing so. It is perfectly right that you
should give your best attention to the Science of Getting Rich, for it is the
noblest and most necessary of all studies. If you neglect this study, you are
derelict in your duty to yourself, to God and humanity; for you can render to
God and humanity no greater service than to make the most of yourself.
Chapter 2 coming tomorrow; stay tuned.
