That’s one of the principles written in one of the chapters that Wallace Wattles wrote in his success and personal development book The Science of Getting Rich.
The chapter in question (Chapter 14) is titled The impression of increase.
What it basically says is that the Universe is a formless substance that perpetuates itself through growth, evolution, and augmentation.
So if you do an act that furthers this “idea of increase”, aligning yourself with the harmony of what the Universe is, then you will find yourself exposed and given more resources or opportunities to help you do more of these “acts”. of more “that promotes the impression of increase.
Which is part of what the Universe is, the “all of all”.
For example, Wallace Wattles suggests that we should give in use value than we take in cash value.
It is the universal principle of “give more than you receive”.
He even refers to selling an Eskimo a hunting rifle instead of selling him a painting.
The rifle is worth more to him than a painting because he will use the rifle to get the fur and food he needs to get rich, not as a painting that won’t do him any good, financially speaking. Eskimo wall hanging from him.
This makes me think of what Robert Kiyosaki said in one of his books about the difference between an asset and a liability, assets being the things that bring money IN your pocket, while passive are things that take money out of your pocket.
Like your “own” house for example.
Many people think that their houses are an asset, when in reality it takes money out of their pockets, so they PAY mortgages on them and RECEIVE NO rental income.
It’s just an asset to your banker because she’s the one who receives the income every month from YOU, in the form of you paying for your house every month.
It only becomes an asset to YOU when you rent it out so that, after all the respective expenses, the lessee pays the mortgage for you and you still have a profit, the profit that goes into your pocket.
Come to think of it, I recommend you get a copy of Robert T. Kiyosaki. “Rich Dad Poor Dad” if you want to get an idea of how the mind of a rich woman or rich man thinks through your local bookstores, a second hand (used) book store like we have here in Southgate Mall (even Protea Gardens sometimes has a temporary exhibition of books of this nature), friend, family, library or you can order it on Amazon.com.
I have come to my observation that depending on where you are in your life, the effects of The Science of Getting Rich can vary from person to person, perhaps it is because we may not all be going through the same things at that time. same moment. .
One woman took the practical principles contained in this book and, after implementing them in her own life, created an idea that brought her millions of dollars, per read in one sitting, with continual reference throughout her path to success.
And there was a guy I read about who read The Science of Getting Rich multiple times before FINALLY DOING IT!
Which led him to also obtain a license to organize a seminar on it.
Just writing about it now makes me want to go back to it and gobble up all the juicy richness of its wealth consciousness content and get more out of it than I did in my last read.
“When you read a book a second time, you do not see in it something that you have never seen before, but you see in yourself something that was not there before.“
I got that quote, and I have more in store, from an audio I listen to every time I get in my car and repeat it, by Earl Nightingale, which I downloaded from a Mark Victor Hansen website.
I want to end this article by saying that success is a mentality and that it comes from the habits we take in our lives and daily moments.
So, are your current habits gradually leading you toward the financial success you desire, or are they keeping you in the web of lack and limitation that is reflected in the company you keep?
I mean, come on… you want to be rich but surround yourself with poverty?
How does it work?
That’s like going around in circles and thinking you’re making progress.
“If you do the things you keep doing, you’ll keep getting the things you’ve always gotten.”
Get a copy of The Science of Getting Rich that would enable you to take that very important first step towards the super successful life you joke about with your friends.
A life lived by the other 3% of people in the world, who earn 97% of the money that is earned in the world.
