I will not die an unlived life. I will not live in fear of falling or
catching fire. I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living to open me, to make me less afraid, more accessible, to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise. I choose to risk my significance; to live so that which comes to me as seed goes to the next as blossom and that which comes to me as blossom, goes on as fruit.

To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury; and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable; and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasion, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.
- William Henry Channing |

Look well to the growing edge. All around us worlds are dying and new worlds are being born; all around us life is dying and life is being born.

- Howard Washington Thurman |

Have you not yet seen how all things yearn for the one: the essence of wakefulness? Only there is there joy. Joy is wakefulness in love, and sadness is the precondition of joy, not because there exists an antithesis to joy, but because no one can let himself fall deep enough without sorrow.
- Arnold Keyserling |
|
The Primal Power of the Nine: We Muses are the bearers of all impulses, which change from image into word. These images are the riches with which people beautify and spiritualize the earth. They can only truly exist through people - in the written word, in depiction, in personification. In the world of pure images everything is a round dance: all rejoice, and even that which seems tragic is only a game.
- Arnold Keyserling |
|
Wonder arises when your purpose falls into line with the right way--all at once everything proceeds of its own accord. Do not take on false motivations. They reveal their fraudulence in that they cannot be thought through to their conclusion. Thinking is a force, feeling leads to new motivations. Remain receptive to both and truth will become attainable.
- Arnold Keyserling |
|
The Importance of a Smile: A SMILE costs nothing, but gives much. It enriches those who receive, without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None is so rich or mighty that he can get along without it, and none is so poor but that he can be made rich by it. A smile creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in business, and is the countersign of friendship. It brings rest to the weary, cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and is nature's best antidote for trouble. Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away. Some people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give.
- Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch |
|
Healing is an effect of changing beliefs. Change the mind to change the body.

..it is the power of unconditional love that gives us the resolve to uphold a person's pride while acquiescing to their flaws and follies.

- Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan |

- Dante Gabriel Rossetti |

- Jalaluddin Rumi |
|
The moon has become a dancer at this festival of love. This dance of light, this sacred blessing, this divine love beckons us to a world beyond, that only lovers can see with their eyes of fiery passion. They are the chosen ones who have surrendered.

They are the privileged lovers who created new worlds with their eyes of fiery passion.

It is a very good thing when you reach the place where you do feel appreciation for the contrasting experience. Because, we never get it done.

Transcendental Gratitude, however, goes beyond social conventions. Instead of feeling grateful to someone, we feel grateful for them - for God or Spirit working through them. We begin to feel grateful for everyone and everything that arises in our lives. The feeling uplifts us, embraces us, and helps us uplift and embrace others in the recognition that we are, ultimately, in this together.

The moment of relief is when you drop the oars and let the stream turn you. There is a moment of relief there every single time. So if you are reaching for the relief factor, what you will begin to notice is you're dropping the oars, you're dropping the oars, you're turning in the stream, you're beginning to allow yourself to be carried to where you want to be. And we want you to know that there are delicious aspects of life, everywhere in the stream ... And then you would say, But I really wanted it to not take so long from when I want something, and I float into the experience of it. And we say, then drop the oars. Because the only time you need oars is when you're paddling against the current.

A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are; we can be loved for who we are and not for who we?re pretending to be. Each unveils the best part of the other. No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person we?re safe in our own paradise. Our soulmate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. When we?re two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we?ve found the right person. Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life.
- Richard Bach |

- A Quote from "The Secret" |

There is one energy field. Our bodies have distracted us from our energy. We are the infinite field of unfolding possibilities. The creative force.

Are your thoughts worthy of you? If not - NOW is the time to change them. You can begin right were you are right now. Nothing matters but this moment and what you are focusing your attention on.
- A Quote from "The Secret" |

Size is nothing to the Universe... Grass doesn't strain to grow, it's effortless, it's just this great design... There are no rules according to the Universe. You provide the feelings of having it now - IT will respond.

Man can form things in his thought, and, by impressing his thought upon formless substance, can cause the thing he thinks about to be created.

To think what you want to think is to think TRUTH, regardless of appearances.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
There is no labor from which most people shrink as they do from that of sustained and consecutive thought; it is the hardest work in the world. This is especially true when truth is contrary to appearances. Every appearance in the visible world tends to produce a corresponding form in the mind which observes it; and this can only be prevented by holding the thought of the TRUTH.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
To look upon the appearances of poverty will produce corresponding forms in your own mind, unless you hold to the truth that there is no poverty; there is only abundance. To think health when surrounded by the appearances of disease, or to think riches when in the midst of appearances of poverty, requires power; but he who acquires this power becomes a MASTER MIND. He can conquer fate; he can have what he wants.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Create a Vision Board .. pictures of what you want to attract .. every day look at it and get into the feeling state of already having acquired these wants.

If you're anti-war, be pro-peace. If you're anti-hunger, be pro-people having more than enough to eat. If you're anti a politician, be pro his opponent.

If you are counting your blessings everyday, and are in gratitude for your gifts, you will receive more and more than you could ever imagine.
- A Quote from "The Secret" |
|
I noticed an almost universal trait among Super Achievers, and it was what I call Sensory Goal Vision. These people knew what they wanted out of life, and they could sense it multidimensionally before they ever had it. They could not only see it, but also taste it, smell it, and imagine the sounds and emotions associated with it. They pre-lived it before they had it. And the sharp, sensory vision became a powerful driving force in their lives.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you NOT to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us, it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
- Marianne Williamson |

Creative work is not a selfish act or a bid for attention on the part of the actor. It is a gift to the world and every being in it. Don't cheat us of your contribution. Give us what you got.

It's enough for you to do it once for a few men to remember you. But if you do it year after year, then many people remember you and they tell it to their children, and their children and grandchildren remember and, if it concerns books, they can read them. And if it's good enough, it will last as long as there are human beings.
- Ernest Hemingway |

You are always a valuable, worthwhile human being, not because anybody says so, not because you're successful, not because you make a lot of money, but because you decide to believe it and for no other reason.

When I chased after money, I never had enough. When I got my life on purpose and focused on giving of myself and everything that arrived into my life, then I was prosperous.

I will grow. I will become something new and grand, but no grander than I now am.

I will grow and I am not deficient.

Heaven on Earth is a choice you must make, not a place we must find.

A non-doer is very often a critic - that is, someone who sits back and watches doers, and then waxes philosophically about how the doers are doing. It's easy to be a critic, but being a doer requires effort, risk, and change.

Contrast helps you to identify desire. Desire is summoning. It's always flowing through you. You have the opportunity of opening to the harmony of the vibration of your desire or not. As the desires are being summoned through you, and you go with the flow, you thrive, but if you use things to be your excuse for not going with the flow, you are arguing for your limitations. We want to show you how to go with the flow. Which means nothing more than finding vibrational harmony with your own desire, and letting the Universal Energy that your desire is summoning to it flow to it through you. It is optimum creative experience.
- Abraham-Hicks |
|
If you have the ability to desire it, the Universe has the ability to deliver it. You've just got to line up with what you want, which means—be as happy as you can be as often as you can be there, and let everything else take care of itself.
- Abraham-Hicks |
|
I'm going to be happy. I'm going to skip. I'm going to be glad. I'm going to smile a lot. I'm going to be easy. I'm going to count my blessings. I'm going to look for reasons to feel good. I'm going to dig up positive things from the past. I'm going to look for positive things where I stand. I'm going to look for positive things in the future. It is my natural state to be a happy person. It's natural for me to love and to laugh. This is what is most natural for me. I am a happy person!
- Abraham-Hicks |
|
Achieve, first, the vibrational essence of your desire—and then, through the crack of least resistance the manifestation will be delivered. Work on the essence of the feeling of freedom; work on the essence of the feeling of empowerment—work on the essence of the feeling of Well-Being. And how do you do that? You can imagine it already having happened and pretend what it will feel like when it is that way. Or, you can look for things in your life that are already like that and beat the drum of that until they play a higher percentage of time in the vibrational signal that you are emanating.
- Abraham-Hicks |
|
We are really advocates of just getting as happy as you can be, which takes care of everything. Even if you don't have reason to be happy, make it up. Fantasize it. Make a decision that you're going to be happy one way or another no matter what. "No matter what, I'm going to be happy! If I have to ignore everybody; if I have to never watch television again; if I have to never pick up a newspaper again, I'm going to be happy. If I never have to see that person's face again, I'm going to be happy. If I have to see that person's face, I'm going to find something to see in that person's face that makes me happy. I'm going to be happy. I'm going to be happy. I'm going to be happy.
- Abraham-Hicks |
|
A belief is only a thought that you keep thinking. So as you keep thinking this thought, you keep vibrationally attracting relative to that thought. So you confirm your own beliefs again and again and again and again and again. That's why someone who believes in cancer can confirm that belief, or someone who believes in robbery can confirm that belief. So everything is a sort of confirmation of belief.
- Abraham-Hicks |
|
You attract by your vibration. Everything in the Universe is experiencing the powerful Law of attraction...And when you are vibrating in pain, you cannot attract joy. The vibration of pain attracts only pain. The vibration of joy attracts joy, the vibration of illness attracts illness...The Law IS, and the wonderful thing is that once you understand the Law, and you are sensitive enough to feel how you are vibrating, then you have control of your experience.
- Abraham-Hicks |

....your finances cannot grow beyond your emotional response- nothing can grow beyond your emotional response. Everything matches your Set-point of emotion on every subject that exists.

In your moving yourself up the Emotional Scale, your business will begin to prosper in new and profound ways! Your business, your relationships, your finances cannot grow beyond your emotional response—nothing can grow beyond your emotional response. Everything matches your Set-point of emotions on every subject that exists.
- Abraham-Hicks |
|
The more in vibrational sync you are with who you really are, then the more you are allowing only those things that you're wanting, and the less resistance there is. And the less resistance there is, then the less delay between the idea of the thought and the receiving of it.
- Abraham-Hicks |
|
Just love everybody that interacts with you no matter how personally, or how peripherally, involved with you they are. The efficiency of the people who deal with you... everything is orchestrated by the manager called Law of Attraction. And your vibration is setting all of it into motion. Everything affecting you is a reflection of the vibration that you are emitting. Spend more time focused upon your dream than upon the reality. The reality gives birth to the dream -- but the dream is where you are wanting to put your attention.
- Abraham-Hicks |
|
The thought that you think, you think, which attracts to it; so you think it some more, which attracts to it; so you think it some more. In other words, when you have an expectation, you've got a dominant thought going on, and Law of Attraction is going to deliver that to you again, and again and again. And you say "The reason that I believe this, is because it is true." And we say, the reason that you believe it, is because you've practiced the thought. All that a belief is, is a thought that you keep practicing.
- Abraham-Hicks |
|
There has never been an injustice anywhere in this physical time/space reality or anywhere else. Law of Attraction does not promote injustice. Law of Attraction amplifies the vibration that is within you.
- Abraham-Hicks |
|
Your prayer causes you to focus, and the Law of Attraction causes everything in the Universe that's in vibrational harmony with your focus to come to you.
- Abraham-Hicks |
|
As you identify the thing that you want and you achieve vibrational harmony with it, by Law of Attraction you summon the Energy through you, and that is what life is. When someone stops desiring, Life Force no longer flows through them, and then they re-emerge into the Nonphysical where you have all kinds of goals and intentions.
- Abraham-Hicks |
|
If you've got somebody's aspects in your experience that you don't like, there's only one reason they're there. You keep evoking them with your attention to them. Without knowing about Law of Attraction, you have -- through your old habit of observation -- achieved vibrational harmony with the parts of them that you do not like, and you keep summoning those parts from them by your constant vibrational offering of them.
- Abraham-Hicks |
|
Use whatever excuse you can to vibrate in harmony with those things you've been saying you want. And when you do, those things that are a vibrational equivalent flow into your experience in abundance. Not because you deserve it, not because you've earned it, but because it's the natural consequence of the Law of Attraction. That which is like unto itself is drawn.
- Abraham-Hicks |
|
Law of Attraction is Universal, and every person is affected by it. And it is always true that what I think and what I feel and what I get are always a match, and there is not a person on the planet that did not know that when they were born, and there is not a person on the planet that would not benefit by knowing it. But many, many, many are not yet asking and therefore are not yet ready for the answer. And so, we would say that -- although everyone wants this information -- everyone is not necessarily ready for it.
- Abraham-Hicks |
|
Genius is just attention to a subject. It is just attention to something specific. That's all it is. Law of Attraction makes it happen, and so anyone who gives attention to any subject for a period of time will evolve in the direction of that understanding.
- Abraham-Hicks |
|
It's not your work to make anything happen. It's your work to dream it and let it happen. Law of Attraction will make it happen. In your joy, you create something, and then you maintain your vibrational harmony with it, and the Universe must find a way to bring it about. That's the promise of Law of Attraction.
- Abraham-Hicks |
|
As you perceive something, you give birth to a thought, and this thought now thinks. Now that it exists, now that it has been conjured, now that it has been focused,now it vibrates. Now, by Law of Attraction, other thoughts that are vibrationally same will come to it. So it begins its expansion immediately.
- Abraham-Hicks |
|
You have more harmony points with every person on the planet than you have disharmony points, because there is much more of you that is in harmony with your Core than you realize or that most of you allow. The closer you come to being in harmony with your Source Energy, the more in harmony you are with each other. When you think about other people and what they think of you, do you understand that what they think of you has very little to do with what you are? It has mostly to do with the habits of thought that they have developed. It has more to do with them as thinkers than it does with you as the subject of their thought. If nothing is more important to you than that you feel good, you can form a fantasy about someone who is in your life and they will begin to modify to meet your fantasy, because Law of Attraction is a very powerful thing.
- Abraham-Hicks |

Is it possible to be the visionary and the actionary of your own life? Not only possible, it's the way most of you intended it to be. It's the best of all worlds. What can be more exhilarating than to find a dream from the contrast, to fixate on the dream and let it give you pleasure as it grows, and then to watch Law of Attraction bring it into manifestation while you help with your action? Does it get any better than that? You didn't think so as you made the decision to come forth into these physical bodies. You said, "This is the best time in all eternity for a Creator to Create.
- Abraham-Hicks |
|
What we would do for yourself - for your next physical experience (and you can do this).. We would begin, right now, by infusing this physical time/space reality with as much understanding of the Law of Attraction as you can, so that you add to this vortex of knowing. That makes it more likely that -- as you and others participate within it - you will have easy access to this understanding that all is well.
- Abraham-Hicks |
|
Within the seed of your desire is everything necessary for it to blossom to fulfillment. And Law of Attraction is the engine that does the work. Your work is just to give it a fertile growing place in order to expand.
- Abraham-Hicks |
|
If you examine your history, you cannot help but repeat it! Law of Attraction says it is so: "Whatever I am looking at, I am including in my vibration.
- Abraham-Hicks |
|
Law of Attraction says, "That which is like unto itself is drawn." Which means vibrations are always matched. So as you experience the contrast which inspires the new idea within you, this new idea - this desire - whether it is a strong one or a soft one, is summoning unto itself proportionately. And as it summons, it is always answered. It is the basis of our Universe: When it is asked, it is always given. The confusion that humans feel is that they think they are asking with their words - or even with their action - and sometimes you are. But the Universe is not responding to your words or your action. The Universe is responding to your vibrational calling.
- Abraham-Hicks |
|
When you begin to understand Law of Attraction, and you understand that which is like unto itself is drawn, then it is easier and easier to understand that you are offering a signal, and the entire Universe responds. And when you finally get that, and you begin to exercise some deliberate control about the signal that you offer, then it really begins to be fun, because then you recognize that nothing happens outside of your creative control. There are no things that happen by chance or by circumstance. There is nothing that is happening because of something you vibrated a long time ago or in a past life. It is not about what you were born into. It is only about what you are, right now, in this red hot fresh moment emitting.
- Abraham-Hicks |
|
Law of Attraction abounds, and when it is said to you, "Ask, and it is given," there is no more powerful statement that is at the basis of what makes things happen than that. Now, how is it that you think you ask? With your words? The Universe doesn't hear your words. You ask with your desire. The desire that is born out of the contrast. That desire. That wanting. That's what summons the Life Force.
- Abraham-Hicks |
|
Everything is valid and everything is truthful, because Law of Attraction lets everything be. The question is not whether it's right or wrong, whether their approach is right or wrong, or whether my approach is right or wrong. The question is: Does their approach feel good to me? And if it doesn't, then I choose a different approach.
- Abraham-Hicks |
|
Within the seed of your desire is everything necessary for it to blossom to fulfillment. And Law of Attraction is the engine that does the work. Your work is just to give it a fertile growing place in order to expand.
- Abraham-Hicks |
|
Think of this random Universe where everything is possible. The organizational skills belong to Law of Attraction. If you will relax and allow Law of Attraction to do the organization, the managing, then you can spend your time doing the things that please you.

We are all Vibrational Beings. You're like a receiving mechanism that when you set your tuner to the station, you're going to hear what's playing. Whatever you are focused upon is the way you set your tuner, and when you focus there for as little as 17 seconds, you activate that vibration within you. Once you activate a vibration within you, Law of Attraction begins responding to that vibration, and you're off and running--whether it's something wanted or unwanted.
- Abraham-Hicks |

Enlightenment means literally aligning to the Energy of my Source. And genius is only about focusing. Law of Attraction takes care of everything else. Physical humans often want to make enlightenment about finding some process and moving through the process that has been pre-described. But true enlightenment is moving to the rhythm of the internal inspiration that is coming in response to the individual desire. Enlightenment is about allowing my Connection to the Source that is me for the fulfillment of the things that I have individually defined here in my time-space-reality. That's as good as it gets!

In the Hawaiian language, aloha stands for much more than just
“hello” or “goodbye” or “love.” Its deeper meaning is “the joyful
(oha) sharing (alo) of life energy (ha) in the present (alo).”
As you share this energy you become attuned to the Universal
Power that the Hawaiians call mana. And the loving use of this
incredible Power is the secret for attaining true health, happiness,
prosperity and success.

This is the most powerful technique in the world, and although it is extremely simple it may not prove easy, because you must remember to do it and you have to do it a lot. It is a secret which has been given to humanity over and over again, and here it is once more in another form. The secret is this: ***Bless everyone and everything that represents what you want!***
- Serge Kahili King |
|
*** Bless everyone and everything that represents what you want! *** Blessing is effective in changing your life or getting what you want for three reasons: First of all, the positive focus of your mind stirs up the positive, creative force of the Power of the Universe. Secondly, it moves your own energy outward, allowing more of the Power to come through you. Thirdly, when you bless for the benefit of others instead of directly for yourself, you tend to bypass any subconscious fears about what you want for
yourself, and also the very focus on the blessing acts to increase the same good in your life. What is so beautiful about this process is that the blessing you do for others helps them as well as you.
- Serge Kahili King |
|
Blessing may be done with imagery or touch, but the most usual and easy way to do it is with words. The main kinds of verbal blessing are:
Admiration - This is the giving of compliments or praise to something good that you notice. E.g., “What a beautiful sunset; I like that flower; you’re such a wonderful person.”
Affirmation - This is a specific statement of blessing for increase or endurance. E.g., “I bless the beauty of this tree; blessed be the health of your body.”
Appreciation - This is an expression of gratitude that something good exists or has happened. E.g., “Thank you for helping me; I give thanks to the rain for nourishing the land.”
Anticipation - This is blessing for the future. E.g., “We’re going to have a great picnic; I bless your increased income; Thank you for my perfect mate; I wish you a happy journey; May the wind be always at your back.”
- Serge Kahili King |
|
In order to gain the most benefit from blessing, you will have to give up or cut way down on the one thing that negates it: cursing. This doesn’t mean swearing or saying “bad” words. It refers to the opposite of blessing, namely criticizing instead of admiring; doubting instead of affirming; blaming instead of appreciating; and worrying instead of anticipating with trust. Whenever any of these are done they tend to cancel out some of the effects of blessing. So the more you curse the harder it will be and the longer it will take to get the good from a blessing. On the other hand, the more you bless the less harm any cursing will do.

Success is not something that can be measured or worn on a watch or hung on a wall. It is not the esteem of colleagues, or the admiration of the community, or the appreciation of patients. Success is the certain knowledge that you have become yourself, the person you were meant to be from all time.

We would recommend that you spend the first week writing 68 seconds about things that you don't care much about, such as blue glass, butterflies, feathers. Because you will attract those things. This exercise will teach you two things: one that you can focus for 68 seconds; two, that the universe does respond to a pure vibration. When you have a level of confidence in the universe, then you can tackle your main issues.
We would every day, twice a day, write your 68 seconds about all areas in your life, relationship, abundance, house, job, etc. You will find it very easy to do. For instance, on your house, appreciate how convenient it is. Appreciate the thermostat that keeps the house at the perfect temperature. Appreciate the sewage system and the plumbing in your bathroom. Appreciate the comfort of it. Know that this house will be temporary, that you will have many others closer to the dream house you want, but meanwhile appreciate it. You see, there was 68 seconds.

Nothing is more important than you feel good. Period. It is not necessary to focus on feeling good about oneself, focus on feeling good; period. It is not necessary to feel good about your body, or about your financial situation; find thoughts that make you feel good. Period.

It used to be said that man is completely built over every 7 years. But some scientists now declare that we build ourselves over entirely every 11 months. So we are really only 11 months old. If we build the defects back into our body year after year, we have no one to blame but ourselves.

Possibly the oldest form of *the secret* process is found in Huna.. As a word in Hawaiian, ka huna actually means "the secret".. The process itself is described in the Hawaiian proverb, Makia ke ali'i, ehuehu ka ukali (literally, concentration is the chief, energy is the follower), "Energy flows where attention goes".

One nice thing about the Hawaiian version of the secret is that it includes specific instructions for putting it into practice. These instructions can be found in the roots of a little-understood Hawaiian word, *haipule*.
Ha - Breathe deeply and get emotionally excited while thinking about what you want
I - Speak the words that describe what you want, aloud or silently.
Pu - Imagine what you want in as much sensory detail as you can.
Le - Whenever you are thinking or speaking about what you want, assume a positive posture and move in confident ways.

There's a lot to the credo that success breeds success. It puts you on a high that makes more success like a magnet. I'm a positive thinker who does frequent reality checks. Negatives turn into positives, problems can be solved, things can turn around. The image of success is important, but even more important is the ability to focus on solutions instead of on problems. That way, you'll never be thinking like a loser, and you probably won't look like one either.

But if it's between honesty and unnecessarily hurting another's feelings, it's better not to be so truthful. Those who boast about being "brutally honest" are usually more brutal than honest.
- Lori Palatnik |

Learn to Say, "I'm Sorry." Everyone makes mistakes. If you've spoken badly about someone, clear it up immediately. It might be embarrassing, but get it over with quickly. Apologize, ask for forgiveness, and let him or her know it won't happen again.
- Lori Palatnik |
|
Forgive. If you have been wronged, let it go. Forgive for your sake, if not for theirs. Those who can forgive live healthier, happier, and less stressful lives. Those who say they'll forgive but not forget are actually saying that they'll neither forgive nor forget.

Attitude determines how much of the future we are allowed to see. It decides the size of our dreams and influences our determination when we are faced with new challenges.
- Jim Rohn |
|
No other person on earth has dominion over our attitude. People can affect our attitude by teaching us poor thinking habits or unintentionally misinforming us or providing us with negative sources of influence, but no one can control our attitude unless we voluntarily surrender that control.
- Jim Rohn |
|
If we care at all about ourselves, then we must accept full responsibility for our own feelings. We must learn to guard against those feelings that have the capacity to lead our attitude down the wrong path and to strengthen those feelings that can lead us confidently into a better future.
- Jim Rohn |
|
If we want to receive the rewards the future holds in trust for us, then we must exercise the most important choice given to us as members of the human race by maintaining total dominion over our attitude.
- Jim Rohn |
|
Our attitude is an asset, a treasure of great value, which must be protected accordingly. Beware of the vandals and thieves among us who would injure our positive attitude or seek to steal it away.
- Jim Rohn |
|
Having the right attitude is one of the basics that success requires. The combination of a sound personal philosophy and a positive attitude about ourselves and the world around us gives us an inner strength and a firm resolve that influences all the other areas of our existence.
- Jim Rohn |

An enterprising person is one who comes across a pile of scrap metal and sees the making of a wonderful sculpture. An enterprising person is one who drives through an old decrepit part of town and sees a new housing development. An enterprising person is one who sees opportunity in all areas of life.
- Jim Rohn |
|
To be enterprising is to keep your eyes open and your mind active. It's to be skilled enough, confident enough, creative enough and disciplined enough to seize opportunities that present themselves…regardless of the economy.
- Jim Rohn |
|
A person with an enterprising attitude says, "Find out what you can before action is taken." Do your homework. Do the research. Be prepared. Be resourceful. Do all you can in preparation of what's to come.
- Jim Rohn |
|
Enterprising people always see the future in the present.
- Jim Rohn |
|
Enterprising people always find a way to take advantage of a situation, not be burdened by it.
- Jim Rohn |
|
Enterprising people aren't lazy. They don't wait for opportunities to come to them, they go after the opportunities. Enterprise means always finding a way to keep yourself actively working toward your ambition.
- Jim Rohn |
|
Enterprise is first creativity. You need creativity to see what's out there and to shape it to your advantage. You need creativity to look at the world a little differently. You need creativity to take a different approach, to be different.
- Jim Rohn |
|
You need the courage to be creative. You need the courage to see things differently, courage to go against the crowd, courage to take a different approach, courage to stand alone if you have to, courage to choose activity over inactivity.
- Jim Rohn |
|
Being enterprising doesn't just relate to the ability to make money. Being enterprising also means feeling good enough about yourself, having enough self worth to want to seek advantages and opportunities that will make a difference in your future. And by doing so you will increase your confidence, your courage, your creativity and your self-worth—your enterprising nature.
- Jim Rohn |

One of the most basic elements of teamwork is this: Be good at what you do. Teams need talent. The more of it you bring to the group, the more you can contribute. Build your skills, and, in a very real sense, you are building the team.
- Price Pritchett |
|
Keep stretching. Polish your skills and perfect your moves. Master the fundamentals of your job.
- Price Pritchett |
|
Strive for continuous improvement—the Japanese call it kaizen. Keep getting better at your craft, and you can do more to help the team chalk up higher scores. Any time you level off in your learning, the potential of the overall group flattens out a little more. And teamwork always takes a hit whenever people start to lose their touch.
- Price Pritchett |
|
Unless you're competent, people really can't afford to count on you. You're best positioned to build a high trust level in the group when you bring talent. Individual ability.
- Price Pritchett |
|
If you don’t like how things are, change it! You’re not a tree. You have the ability to totally transform every area in your life—and it all begins with your very own power of choice.

Decide on an item you want that will cost a bit of money. You may have that amount of money, but not choose to spend your savings on this item right now. Be patient. Second, get an envelope and write on the front your goal item, for example, trampoline, piano, Disneyland, or new car. Third, make a deposit into the envelope. $100 if you can, or just $5 if that's what you have right now. Write the date and the amount on the front of the envelope. Every week or every two weeks, simply make another deposit, listing the date, amount, and total amount that is accumulating. Your deposits start to get bigger, the amount grows, and your faith that you can actually purchase this item increases also. Pretty soon you have enough to buy the piano, or take the trip to Disneyland, and this money is "set aside" for that specific purpose.

Here's another one of my money mastery methods. Simply start leaving money around. I have a bulletin board above my desk, and Ben Franklin is looking down at me from the $100 bill that is tacked up there.
- Christopher Westra |
|
Leave a $20 bill where you keep your keys or wallet and just keep it there all the time. Put another one in the kitchen where you prepare your meals. Put a $50 by your nightstand and just see it every night. You are not worshiping money. It's just money. You are breaking the "lack mentality" habit of always spending every dollar you have. This is a powerful money mastery method - try it.

The physical manifestation of a disease is a phantom. It's the cell's memory that is addicted; memory is more important than matter.

When your doubts come up, if the voices within you tell you that your skills and talents are not worth investing time and energy in, send love to those thoughts. Don't fight them mentally, don't try to reason with them or argue them away. Tell yourself it is all right to have those thoughts. Let them be there, and place a confident, positive thought alongside your thoughts of doubt.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
The more you think about serving others, the greater and more fulfilling your work will be. As you focus on how your work could give light and joy to other people, you will find that it brings light and joy to you as well.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Service is giving others the best you know how to give. It means you work with an attitude of joy, harmony, and cooperation with those about you. Service will always come back to you many times over as increased prosperity.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Money is neither good nor bad. When you use money in ways that serve your higher purpose and bring you and others joy, you are creating money of light. The more money is made and spent with integrity and light, the more it becomes a force of light for everyone.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
To unfold your potential you will want to imagine having your dreams come true, for your dreams and fantasies are showing you your potential.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Your dreams are there for a reason; they are guiding you to your higher path here on earth. Enlarge your vision of what is possible for you to do. Dare to dream and think big.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Pretend that it is one year from today and you are reflecting back on all your great accomplishments. What did you accomplish over the last year?
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Don't worry about how long it might take to pay a debt off; it will occur faster than you think. When you get ready to pay the next installment on your debt, first write out a "pretend" check for the full amount. Put this check where you will see it whenever you refer to the bill. As you pay the bill, send love and a mental thank-you to your creditor for his or her trust in you.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
When you have a choice to make and the highest option is not immediately obvious, ask yourself a series of questions. If all choices look equally good, ask, "Which decision holds the most joy for me? Which seems to call to my heart as something I would love to do?" Then pick the option that brings you the most joy. Even if the joyful path does not appear to promise you as much money, in the long run it will be far more profitable than the choice that isn't as joyful.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Don't make your choices based on how much money it appears you will make; following the path of your heart will always bring you more abundance.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
You might imagine your thoughts as "magnets." These "magnets" go out into the world and attract the substances that match them; they duplicate themselves in form. Everything around you was a thought in someone's mind before it existed in your reality. Cars, roads, homes, buildings, and cities all existed as thoughts before they became realities.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Money is neither good nor bad; it is energy. It is the way money is used that determines whether or not it is a positive energy that will benefit you or not.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
If you come from the highest level of integrity with your money, make it in ways that benefit people, or through making a contribution, by giving your best, and putting attention and consciousness into what you do, you are making a contribution to humanity and to yourself.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
The essence of success for most people is a feeling of self-love, self-esteem, and self-worth. See if you can capture that feeling for a moment. Say to yourself, "I am a success." How does it feel? Capture that feeling for several moments and let it radiate throughout your body. Acknowledge all the successful things you are doing right now. As you acknowledge your success in other areas, it becomes easier to imagine yourself as successful with money.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
You may have been thinking for months about making a change, but not know what to do, or feel that you don't have the option of leaving your current situation. Or you may know what you'd like to do but feel it will cost too much money or require you to do something beyond your skills and resources. Be loving to yourself if you haven't taken action yet. Remember, there is a period of inner work before changes take place.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Often when people give, they do not completely release what they have given. Give your gifts without strings. If you give a gift to someone, release it. When you are attached to what you give, you block the flow of more into your life. Whenever you give, be clear that you are giving freely, for the more freely you give, the more easily you will attract money.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Take a moment and look at your childhood messages. How did your parents spend money? What thoughts and beliefs did they teach you about money? Can you see a connection between the ways you relate to money now and the relationship your parents had to money? Give yourself permission to have a more abundant life than your parents, a more joyful, happy, and fulfilled life.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Make a list of everything you have been thinking you want, and do some soul-searching. Do you really want these things? Are they old pictures of what you think you should want? Take all the unimportant things off your mental list, until you are left with only a few really important things that you want to create.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Many of you hold yourselves back from your life's work, thinking that it's going to be hard to do. You think, perhaps, of how much work it took to do other jobs that weren't your life's work. You cannot compare the two. It takes much more energy to do even simple work that you are not suited to than to do vast, complex work that your life's path may involve. As you do your life's work, the universe will be helping you. Doors will open and opportunities will come your way. You will be flowing with the current rather than against it.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Some people hope that when they have money they will be able to stop doing the things they don't enjoy. To begin to let go of doing things you don't enjoy, learn to honor and respect yourself more. You can begin by learning how to stop doing the small things you don't enjoy right now; as you do, you gain more honor and respect for yourself and will build up to doing only things you enjoy. As you do things you enjoy you become more magnetic to abundance.
- Sanaya Roman |

Picture yourself having everything you want--a satisfying job, money in the bank, a wonderful relationship. See how you would be a benefit to those around you. Imagine what it would be like if everyone you knew had money, and their lives were working. Challenge yourself to ask for even more, not just for yourself, but for all of humanity.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Every time you say "thank you" to yourself, you instill confidence in your ability to create what you want. Begin thanking the universe for every small thing that comes your way, appreciate how far you have come and all that you have already accomplished, and you will overcome your fears and doubts.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Give thanks for all the things you take for granted--the place you live in, the friends who love you, the food on your table. Do not label what you have now as inadequate, but instead begin thanking the universe for it.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
If you are experiencing ebb, with more money going out than is coming in, don't panic. Do not lose confidence in yourself or think that somehow you have failed. The challenge of an ebb state is to believe in your future prosperity. Everything on earth is cyclical, and all phases are temporary. For every ebb there is a flow that will follow.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
For every ebb there is a flow that will follow.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
While you want to give freely and generously to people, you also want to give to people in a way that truly serves their higher good. When you give money to people, be clear that you are giving money to create their prosperity, not to bail them out of a recurring situation. Give to people who will use your money and gifts to create positive changes in their lives.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
There may be times when nothing seems to be happening on the outside, but you are going through much change on the inside to prepare for what you are asking for. Keep trusting your ability to draw to you what you want while you are waiting for money to come, and realize that everything that is happening to you is preparing you to have it and helping you change your vibration to match the vibration of abundance when it arrives.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Don't put any restrictions on your dreams. If you catch yourself saying, "That would be nice, but it's too much to ask for," stop. Ask for it anyway! Don't feel you have to create your dreams instantly; the first step to creating them is just putting the pictures in your mind.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Learn to love and accept yourself for who you are right now. You do not need to be perfect before you do your life's work; accomplishing your life's work will help you grow and evolve.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
As you love and accept who you are right now, you make it possible to move in new directions. You have been doing the best you know how. Is there anything you have been criticizing yourself for lately? If so, for one day, every time you think of this thing see if you can thank yourself for all the good things you are doing instead.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
There is always a way for both people to win. If it appears to you that for one of you to win the other has to lose, you haven't arrived at the higher solution yet. The higher solution will always be a win for both people, with both their higher goals being met. To find this higher solution, first ask yourself, "What are the real issues? What is really important for me to have?" Then, work together to find a solution.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Now is the time to listen to your inner messages and discover the special work you came to do. Begin to put that work out to the world, for it is very much needed. Even a small step toward your higher path will bring rich rewards and results.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
As you serve and empower others, find your life's work, and do what you love rather than what you think will bring you money, you will become highly magnetic to money.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Finding your life's work allows you to create abundance and money easily. The job or activities that are meant to be your life's work involve doing what you love with your time and energy. When you love what you do you feel alive, happy, and fulfilled. You radiate joy and draw many good things to you.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
You can make money doing work that you don't like, but it will take more effort. Not liking what you do with your time and energy diminishes your flow of abundance; loving what you do brings abundance more easily and effortlessly.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Ask yourself right now, "Is there any reason why I cannot have abundance in my life? Do I deserve it? Do I think that people who have money are in some way more deserving than I am?" Think of all the reasons you can why it is all right for you to have money.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Think of how much you would like in your savings account; imagine it as vividly as you can. Imagine the balance you would like in your checkbook. Envision yourself putting money into your account. Feel the joy you will have when you look at the balance. Don't think of it as saving for a calamity or disaster; if you do, you will keep creating emergencies that require your savings. Picture your savings as your wealth account. View it as money that is teaching you how to handle a larger and larger flow of prosperity.
- Sanaya Roman |
|

|
If you are worrying about money, work on increasing your sense of well being rather than thinking about money.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Rather than asking, "How much money do I "need" today?" ask yourself, "How can I "create" money today?" There is an enormous difference in the energy you send out to the universe when you focus on creating money rather than needing money; the first is magnetic to money and the latter is not.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Be open to receiving with gratitude and grace. If you receive a check for ten dollars, thank the universe for it, rather than saying, "This is not enough." So many people receive money and say, "I don't know how I'm going to make this last; I wish I had received more." They take the amount and make it less, and less will come next time. If you receive money with an image of more coming, with a feeling of joy and thanks, you create more ways for the universe to give you prosperity.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
If you receive money with an image of more coming, with a feeling of joy and thanks, you create more ways for the universe to give you prosperity.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
If you want money to flow, be clear and truthful with yourself about what you want in exchange for your efforts and time. This means having clear agreements with other people about what you want from them and what you are willing to give them. If you are seeking smoothness and harmony in your personal and business financial dealings, you will want to be clear about your expectations and assumptions.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
If everyone around you begins to succeed, then you are surrounded with the vibration of success and your success will grow even faster. When you hear of other people's good fortune, appreciate their success, knowing that it affirms the abundance that is available for you as well.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
There is great power in repeating the thought of something you want over and over. When you got something you wanted in the past you probably thought about it frequently. Repetition firmly implants the idea of what you want to create in your subconscious, and it goes about bringing you what you think about. You want the thought to be definite and unwavering. Affirmations are positive thoughts that are repeated over and over. As you repeat them, they go directly to your subconscious where they begin to manifest as your reality. Affirm what you want in present terms, such as, "I have unlimited abundance," and repeat your positive statements frequently.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
People who serve others to the best of their ability have lives filled with abundance and joy. Service means putting yourself in other people's shoes and giving them the best you can, be they clients, employers, co-workers, friends, or loved ones. When you show your best face to the world and come from your highest level of integrity, you are serving others.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
The more you open to receive, the more you can give. Receive money from people, receive the form and substance of what they give you, and do so with warmth and graciousness. Imagine ten times the amount of money someone gives you coming back to him or her every time this person gives you money. As you envision success for other people, you increase your own magnetism to prosperity.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Get quiet, close your eyes, and think of something you wanted that you got. Recall some of the feelings you had before and after you received it--your positive thoughts about having it, your inner knowing that you would have it, and your joy when you received it. Think of something you want to create. Can you think of it in the same positive way as something else you have created easily?
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Doing your life's work will require the skills of listening to and following your own wisdom. It will require making yourself rather than anyone else the authority on what is good for you.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Creating your life's work is a process of discovering yourself. You do so by going within, rather than looking for answers outside yourself.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
It is important to know when it is time to change course. No job, business, or activity will be perfect forever unless you are willing to constantly update it, for as you grow the things around you need to be revised. Sometimes a simple change will do. Other times the only way you will be able to go to the next level will be to let go of everything you have and start over with something completely different.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Picture your debt being totally paid off. Imagine the account reading: "$0.00 due. Paid in full." See yourself making the last payment; make the scene as real as possible. Experience the good feelings you will have.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
If you want something indefinite, such as to be rich or happy, ask yourself, "How would I know if I were happy? How much money would I have in the bank to consider myself rich? How much monthly income? How much extra money to spend on certain items I want?" When you ask for extra money but you don't say how much, you may get an extra dollar rather than the larger but unstated amount you were thinking of.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
If you are in debt and you want to get out of debt, start by figuring out the total amount you owe. Then, forgive yourself if you have had any bad feelings about this debt, and realize that you borrowed because you and those you borrowed from believed in your future earning capacity. Picture your debt being totally paid off. Imagine the account reading: "$0.00 due. Paid in full." See yourself making the last payment; make the scene as real as possible. Experience the good feelings you will have.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Ask for the specific amount of money you want; magnetize that sum or even more. Also picture the essence of what that money will give you and the higher qualities you want it to help you express.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
What you are doing right now has within it the seeds of your life's work.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Each time you get a new job you use many of the skills you have already developed. It is as if every job prepares you in some way for the next one. Every skill you acquire that you love using will be important as you follow your higher path. You may not understand why you took a job or developed a particular talent or ability, but the skills you have learned will be of value to you. Trust that what you are doing now is helping you gain skills that will be used in your greater life's work.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Acknowledge your successes, for as you do you will build upon them. Think of five wonderful things you have accomplished in the last year, and congratulate yourself.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
When you reach a goal you have been striving for, give yourself a reward before you look to the next goal.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
It is a law of the universe that to get something you need to give something. If you want money, the price may be action, right attitude, or a plan. If you want more money, you need to give those things in your life that will bring you money. That includes your talents, skills, time, and energy. There is always something you can do to have what you want.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Take a moment to think about something you want to do with your life. Are you waiting for anyone to give you permission to do it, or to help you out before you begin? If so, are you willing to give yourself permission to do what you want? Do so now.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
If you want something, ask your soul to provide you with a demonstration of its faith in and love for you. Then, open to receive and be willing to recognize your request when it comes. Every time you accept love from others, every time you open to receive love from the universe, you set in motion the creation of miracles in your life.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
If you are faced with many choices and they all seem fine, ask, "Which choice makes the most sense to follow and is the most practical for me right now?" Your highest path will always make practical sense.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
(When faced with choices to make), ask "Which choice makes the greatest contribution to humanity or allows me the greatest opportunity to serve others?" If both choices still look equal, think of the higher qualities you want to create in your life, such as well-being, love, and aliveness. Which choice allows you to express these qualities more fully?
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Some resistance can be self-sabotage. It comes from feeling that you aren't worthy of having more than you have. If you know deep inside that a healthy diet, exercise, handling an issue, or some other course of action would truly benefit you, but you resist, you may need to learn to honor yourself more. Rather than confronting the bigger issues immediately, first take small actions that honor you. Think of something really nurturing and luxurious you would like to do for yourself.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Take a moment right now to think of something you want. Select one thought you have had about why you CAN'T have it. Now, imagine that thought fading out, or imagine that thought written on a blackboard that you are erasing, or imagine putting that thought in a balloon and letting it float away. Now, create a thought about why you CAN have it. See that thought written out; put white light around it. Create a mental image of receiving or having what you want. By making your positive thoughts more vivid and real, you increase their ability to create what you want.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
By making your positive thoughts more vivid and real, you increase their ability to create what you want.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Think of all the times you can remember that you received money or something you wanted in a totally unexpected way that seemed like a miracle. The more you are willing to hold positive thoughts, to listen to and take action on your inner guidance, to trust and believe in yourself, and to commit to your higher purpose, the more miracles you will attract.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
You can have fulfilling, satisfying work. You can feel alive every day of your life and make money in the process. You can work in a supportive environment, around people you enjoy, doing what you love. As you use your special skills and talents, you can draw to you the opportunities to make money in ways that allow you full self-expression, ways that challenge and stimulate you.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
As you do what you love, you enrich the lives of the people around you and add more light to the world. In doing your life's work you are accomplishing what you came to earth to do.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
One way to discover your life's work is to observe what you love to do and what you do naturally, noticing which skills you enjoy using. Your life's work will involve using those skills. Once you have identified them, you can concentrate on using them more, and draw opportunities to you to make money and support yourself through them. You can also find ways to use those skills in other areas of your life, turning all your activities into expressions of your life's work.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
A lot of you end up doing so many small tasks that you don't have time to create your life's work; you confuse busyness with accomplishing your higher purpose. You may have stacks of chores to be done and be rushing around, busy every moment. If you are going to get to your life's work, you need to take time to start it.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
If you feel right now that you do not have enough money, pretend that you have all the money you need and let the emotion of plenty come into your body. Your subconscious does not know the difference between what is really happening and what you imagine to be happening, so it goes out and happily begins to create your pictures for you.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
If you are in a job where you must force yourself to do many tasks you don't want to do, look at the larger picture. Why are you in a job that doesn't allow you to do what you enjoy doing? If you love your job and most of what you are doing, but dislike several tasks, look again at those areas. There may be a better way to do them, perhaps a better procedure, a different job division between you and a co-worker, or ways your family, children, or friends could help. Pay attention to your negative feelings--they have messages for you about how your situation could be better.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
When you have money, see your money as a source of good; see it as potential to create a higher purpose that has yet to be converted into substance and form. Keep picturing all your money in the bank or in your wallet as money that is awaiting your command to go out and create good for you and others.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
To develop your mastery of abundance more quickly, start by recognizing how successful you already are at creating what you want, at honoring your integrity, and at making good choices. Build on what you know you can do. Thank and love yourself for the strength and vision you have right now. Take a moment to tell yourself you are already a success. You can recognize all the wonderful things you are already doing in your life.
- Sanaya Roman |

Part of the essence of spirituality is the belief in true abundance--of time, love, and energy. You teach others by setting an example. It may be hard, if not impossible, to help others lead abundant lives if you do not have a feeling of abundance about your own life.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
You do not want living at a survival level and experiencing lack to be the examples you set. When you have the right amount of money and money works in your life, people will learn about abundance by your example.
- Sanaya Roman |

Money is magnetic; it flows and circulates. The more it flows and circulates, the richer a society is. You do not "create" money when you bring it into your life; you tap into a flow that is already there. When you create wealth you do not take from someone else; you become part of a flow of money. Let it circulate through you. Remember that the more money circulates, the wealthier everyone is, just as the more times inventory turns over, the more prosperous a store becomes. Prosperity comes when giving and receiving are flowing freely.

Because your thoughts set up the model of what you draw to you, it is important to think about what you want rather than what you don't want. You will not get what you want by fearing or hating its opposite. For instance, having money does not come from disliking living in poverty. Whatever you focus on is what you get, for energy follows thought. The more you love having money and abundance, the more you picture it and thus draw it to you.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Think of something you want. Are there any actions that come to mind that you could take to get what you want? It may be something very simple, such as making a phone call or going to a store that comes to mind if you want to buy something. Are you willing to take that action? Decide when you will do it. If you receive no guidance at this time be willing not to take any action, but follow your joy from moment to moment.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
The emotions behind your thoughts determine the speed at which you manifest. If you truly want something, it will come much more rapidly than if you are lukewarm about wanting it. Generate excitement about having what you want. Make it so real in your imagination that you can almost touch it, see it, or feel the feelings you will have when it comes to you. Think of it frequently and with intensity, and also be willing to detach and let it come in whatever way is best.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Creating your life's work doesn't come from choosing safety and comfort over growth. It comes from choosing and taking those actions that help you get to where you want to go. Learn to embrace your challenges with love rather than avoiding them. Start by doing something that is a slight reach for you; take on a slightly more challenging project than you normally tackle, or learn a new skill. When you do things that make you reach, the rewards are great.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Pick one or two of the most important things you could create in your life and focus on them. Ask yourself, "What is the single most important thing I could create in my life right now?" Then begin to draw it to you. You can have whatever you believe you can have, and you can begin to have the essence of anything you want right now.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Giving is an important part of receiving. The way you give to others is the way the universe will give to you. Giving money or other things is truly a gift to yourself, for it creates a circulation of energy in your life, and the more energy circulates the wealthier you are.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Some of you aren't doing your life's work out of fear that you or your skills are inadequate, or that in some way other people have something special to offer that you don't. You have been given the talents, desires, skills, and preferences you have because they are in some way a part of your path and needed in the world. Much important work is waiting for you to wake up to your purpose and believe in yourself. Your work is important; your contribution is special and needed.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
To increase your prosperity, talk about your abundance. Everything you say has the potential to create the reality you experience. The universe responds to your positive talk. Even if you do not have something you want in your life right now, if you begin to talk and act as if you are certain you will have it, you will draw to you the circumstances to have it.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
One of the final acts of creating money is to let go and surrender to your higher good. It is time to let things happen in their own way and in their own time. Trust knows that there is a higher power within you that will assist you in bringing what you have asked for in the right way, at the right time. Surrender means not putting worry and fear into the process, but instead taking responsibility for the results, expecting that only the best will happen.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Forgive yourself when you look back into the past and think of things like, "I didn't spend my money wisely." Drop your pictures of times in the past when situations didn't work out as well as you wanted. If those thoughts arise, do not pay attention to them, but think instead of when you did spend your money wisely, were happy with what you got, made a good return on your money, or were paid back in full by a friend. As you forgive and love your past self, focusing on all the times you have succeeded, you change the course of your future.

Draw to yourself, magnetize what you truly want, not something that is a compromise. Acquiring objects that are compromises is rarely exciting enough to stimulate you to do what is necessary to get them. If you do not feel you can create what you want, it is better not to ask for something in its place that doesn't really excite or motivate you. Think of something you want to manifest. Is this truly what you want, or a compromise because you don't think you can get what you really want?
- Sanaya Roman |
|
What you have and where you are today are the results of all the choices and decisions you have made. Many of your choices have been passive, made without conscious examination. Many have been based on your past programming rather than on your new unlimited thinking. Acknowledge that where you are today is a result of your past choices, and realize that at every moment you are truly creating your reality. If you are not happy with what you have created so far, you can learn to make different choices and change your life into one that brings you joy, aliveness, and whatever else you want.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
It is important to prepare to have larger and larger sums of money so that when more comes it will be in balance with the rest of your life. You can accelerate this process by "wearing" the energy of larger sums before you receive them and mentally adjusting your energy until larger sums feel comfortable.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Inner guidance about your future path and directions often comes to you when you are in a quiet, reflective state, performing activities that take you out of your normal awareness. This kind of guidance can be a thought, feeling, picture, or daydream of what you would like to be doing. Take time today to sit quietly, relax your body, and think about something you want to create. Open to receive insights from your higher self, from your inner being that is always guiding you.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Everyone looks forward to the flow, when more money is coming in than going out. If you acknowledged yourself every time you had even one day of more money coming in than going out, you would find the flow of money increasing in your life.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Money does not come just to special people, people with a given talent or an inborn skill. Within you lie all the answers and talents you need to create unlimited abundance for yourself, to have what you need both physically and spiritually in every area of your life.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Some people think a large sum of money will give them feelings of aliveness, well being, self-esteem, inner peace, love, power, or security. They think with money they will be free from worry and will be able to relax and play, or not do activities they don't want to do. Money and objects by themselves will not automatically fill your needs or give you the feelings you want. Whatever you think having more money will give you--aliveness, peace, self-esteem--is the quality you need to develop to become more magnetic to money and abundance.

Whether or not you are working in your perfect job, learn to view what you do with love and a positive attitude. As you do, you will find yourself either creating a better situation within your current company or finding opportunities elsewhere. Every uncomfortable situation is teaching you valuable lessons you need to learn. If you do not learn the lessons in the job you have, you will create similar situations in your new job to teach you the same lessons.

You do not have to change jobs to do your life's work. You can make a meaningful contribution in any job you have, in whatever role you play, for in any job you can focus on how you are helping people; you can spread good feelings and touch everyone you contact with your inner light. You don't need to have a job or even be in business to be doing your life's work. You can express your life's work through community activities or hobbies. You may be raising a family as your life's work, helping to guide your children's life-force energy into a higher order. When your life is filled with meaningful activity, you radiate joy and love and are magnetic to abundance.
- Sanaya Roman |

An important aspect to manifesting is to be sure that what you are asking for is something you can imagine having.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
If you want a million dollars, can you really imagine having it? A million dollars might not seem real to you, particularly if you have trouble imagining yourself paying your rent easily and on time each month. Your belief that it is possible may not be strong enough to draw this sum of money to you within a time frame that would give you an experience of success with your magnetizing.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
There is a natural rhythm to money, just as there is a natural cycle to everything in your life. Every business has an ebb and flow. Every person has cycles in life, times when money is coming in more than it is going out and times when it is going out more than it is coming in. Your challenge is to not go up and down emotionally with the natural ebb and flow of money in your life; use these natural cycles in a way that further builds your prosperity.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
To manifest what you want, intend to create it. In other words, make up your mind that having what you want is important to you and that you are willing to put a certain amount of thought and energy into getting it. Your intent to have something directs your energy and focuses it on your goals.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Think of something you want right now. Do you intend to have it? Do you think about it even when you are doing other activities? When you have a clear intention to have something, you generate energy that is focused like a laser beam to go out and get what you want. If you intend to have something, you will.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
To magnetize successfully, focus on creating what you want, not on getting rid of something you don't want. Many people do not know what they want, yet they are very clear on what they don't want. If you don't know what you want, you can start by looking at the circumstances in your life you don't like, and ask for an opposite circumstance to appear. For every condition you don't want, describe as clearly as you can what you would replace that condition with. State what you want in the present tense. Instead of saying "I don't want to struggle to pay my bills," you could say, "I pay my bills easily each month."

Some of your negative thoughts (about creating money and abundance) may come from being around people whose fears and doubts amplify your own. For instance, you may feel fine about your finances, but after you talk to a friend who is struggling and fearful about money, you start worrying about your own financial future. If you notice this happening, realize that you have been influenced by someone else's thoughts, and remind yourself that you live in an abundant world and that all is perfect in your universe.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Your higher self speaks to you through your feelings, imagination, desires, and dreams. It shows you your life's work by guiding you to the things that are joyful and giving you pictures of what you love to do.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Your life's work will be something you think about, feel connected to, are familiar with, or are already working on. It may be something you do in your free time for fun or something you tell yourself you would do if you had more free time or money. Your life's work will involve making a contribution to humanity, animals, plants, or the earth itself.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
If you can't believe that something is possible, then you aren't going to have it. But if you can have the smallest thought that it might be possible, you are already on your way to creating it.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
You cannot create something if you cannot picture having it. Live out your dreams in your mind; picture or feel yourself getting what you want; hear the words you will say to others and they to you when your dreams come true. Make your imaginings so real that they feel possible to create rather than like wishful and distant fantasies.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
When you get an idea, don't over-analyze it by asking "Is this idea going to create my new path, be profitable, or support me for the rest of my life?" Ideas are like seeds; when they first come up you often don't know what they're going to grow into. Just keep following your joyful impulses, and your ideas will unfold into the forms that best serve you.
- Sanaya Roman |

- Sanaya Roman |
|
Do those activities that take you closer to your life's work the first thing each day, or as soon as you possibly can. Spend five minutes thinking about your higher path as you wake up. Ask yourself, "Is there one action I could take today that would bring my life's work closer?" or "What is the most important action I could take today?" Make that your priority; do it before you do other things.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
If you are feeling a lack of abundance in your life, think of someone you can give something to. Giving to others who are appreciative and can use your gifts can bring you some of the most wonderful feelings in the world. Giving affirms your abundance and helps you feel prosperous. Giving makes you strong. Think of something you could give to someone you know that would help him or her right now. Make a point of doing it, and you will find the universe will give to you as well.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
You can create a new personal history for yourself, focusing on all the times you were successful and did have a measure of abundance. This will increase your abundance potential.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Let go of stories of your past that do not support the new picture of success and abundance you are creating. Instead, remember times when you were abundant and when you successfully created or got something you really wanted. This will help you create more abundance in the future.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Every time you find yourself imagining something, see if you can expand or fine-tune the picture. Think big! Ask for more than you think you can have. Expand your imagination, enlarge your pictures, and play with new ideas. See if you can go beyond the boundaries you have set for what you think you can have.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Sometimes it seems necessary to borrow to make ends meet, to buy things you need, or to finance a new venture. If you have gone into debt, don't let the fact that you have debts keep you from feeling prosperous. Go back to your original belief that you would be able to pay these debts off easily. You trusted yourself to have future income when you borrowed money; keep renewing that trust.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
You are the source of your abundance and money. Through working with your feelings, thoughts, and intentions, you can become a master at creating whatever you want.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
You are the source of your riches, not your job, your investments, your spouse, or your parents. By linking with the unlimited abundance of your soul, by opening your connection to the higher forces, by expressing and radiating your higher qualities of inner peace, joy, love, well-being, and aliveness, you become the source of your abundance.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Sometimes it is better to wait and take no action until you have a feeling, thought, or picture about what action to take. Waiting for guidance on what action to take eliminates unnecessary work and helps you be in the right place at the right time, creating things you want easily and effortlessly.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Act as if you have the money for whatever you want. How many times have you held off getting something, thinking you didn't have the money, only to discover when you got it that you could have afforded it all along? If there is something you want, go out and look, visualize, and take action. You will often find it takes less money than you thought to get what you want, or a friend will have a used one to give you, or you will get it in an unexpected way.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
When you spend and give with love, you create even more ways for money to come to you. A state of love is a state of receptivity to the abundance of the universe. The more love you send out to the world, the more abundance and miracles you will receive in return. Every time you pay a bill or receive money, see it as a gift of love. Make every exchange of money an opportunity to radiate love to those around you.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Allow yourself to create a vision, to daydream and fantasize, and then focus each day on the simple, concrete steps you can take to reach your goal. There will always be practical steps you can take immediately to get there. What simple next step can you take right now?
- Sanaya Roman |
|
If money isn't flowing in your life, look at where your own energy might not be moving. You want both money and your personal energy to flow. By unblocking your energy, you can create more money in your life. Blocks in money can be caused by places where your energy isn't flowing, such as in your physical body, your emotions, or your relationships with other people.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
If you have ideas about what you might do with your life, yet feel they are not good enough, find something in your life that you value and begin to value it even more. If you value your ability to help people or to organize things, focus on that skill. Learn to value yourself and your talents. Treat yourself as if you count, for you do. Start in small ways to value your path and the things you love to do.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Miracles happen when you are willing to receive and give love. A miracle is a demonstration from the universe and your soul of their love for you. If there is anything you want, use your mind to visualize it, and then open your heart.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Your beliefs create your reality. Beliefs are assumptions about the nature of reality, and because you create what you believe in, you will have many "proofs" that reality operates the way you think it does. For instance, a person who believes that the universe is abundant will act in such a way that he or she experiences abundance, and a person who believes that money comes only from working hard will receive money only from hard work. Each will have many experiences to prove that their "belief" about reality is really a "fact" about reality. You can change what you believe and thus change what you experience. Look at the reality you have created, and you are seeing the results of your beliefs.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Do you have negative beliefs that are keeping you from becoming prosperous? One common belief is that people won't love you as much if you have money, that they will love you for your money and not for yourself. You may worry that having money will somehow separate you from your friends. Some of you believe that having a large sum of money will become a burdensome responsibility and tie you down. Not being able to pay your bills and worrying about money are also burdens, and can tie you down. If you can identify a negative belief you have, turn it into a positive statement of why it is fine to be prosperous.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
You can effectively draw things to you whether or not you know the specific form, amount, or appearance of the items you want. You do need to know their essence, however. The essence of something is the function you want this item to perform, the purposes you will use it for, or what you think it will give you.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Many things other than what you picture might give you the essence of what you want, so be open to letting what you want come in whatever way, size, shape, or form is most appropriate. Think of something you want to draw into your life. What is the essence that you want from this?
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Many people determine their net worth by looking at the balance on their bank accounts. Even if you do not have a savings account and you have debts, you still have net worth--all your skills, knowledge, attitudes, education, experience, and contacts. Everything you have learned and every skill you possess are sources of future income. The skills and experience of your past are your net worth, and you can turn them into money.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Think of being "rich" as having enough wealth to carry out your life's work. You may not need many material possessions to have "enough." For instance, your life purpose may be to work with nature. You may live in a log cabin, spend little money, and still have all the natural resources you need to carry out your purpose. In that case, you would be rich. What is important is having enough money to do the work you came to do, and not having so much that it keeps you from the work you came to do.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Some of you have difficulty accomplishing your life's work because you are too busy supporting others in their careers or life's work. You may be setting aside your own work until the person you are helping succeeds. Helping others get their work out to the world and being part of a team can be very important. You will know if this role is your life's work because serving in this way will be joyful and feel good deep within you. If you are helping others out of obligation, not out of joy, check again to see if this is truly what you want to do.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Some of you do not make changes until you experience discontent or anxiety. If you are in the latter category, your soul may create more and more problems, discomfort, or internal resistance toward your existing job or situation to get you to pay attention to the fact that changes need to be made. Learn to let go of the old or find ways to change things when you stop loving what you are doing, and when you are no longer growing and feeling alive from doing it.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
You will recognize when you are doing your life's work by the feelings of vitality and aliveness it gives you. You will feel that your life has greater meaning and that you are making a worthwhile contribution. You will have a compelling vision or goal. You will feel happier in every area of your life. Your work will allow you to express more fully who you are; it will help you grow and evolve.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Success comes from feeling successful in the present moment; it is not something you may feel some day when you have reached a goal or have something you want. Don't think that large sums of money will create that feeling for you; people with a lot of money rarely feel successful unless they have learned how to appreciate themselves and feel successful from within.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
It is a challenge to love rather than dislike what you are leaving. If you focus on what you want, what you would love to have, and go toward it, you will have it. The more you dislike something, the more you may be stuck with it. You cannot leave something until you love it. You are tied to things you don't like. If you hate something, you will be drawn to it again and again (even though the person or form may change) until you love it. Once you love it, you are free from it.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Having money and things is not as important as mastering the process of creating them. Learning to create abundance is a process of growth; it may require changing your thinking and expanding your beliefs about what you deserve to have. The process of getting each new thing--be it a car, a house, or a larger salary--will bring you growth, learning, and new skills. As you master the process, you will be able to use money and other things you create as tools for expanding your consciousness and helping you express yourself more fully.

Offer your work only to those who value it. If you work for an employer who doesn't value your work, it undermines your self-confidence. Before changing jobs, ask yourself whether you believe that you are a worthy, valuable person and that your services are important. Then look at what you are learning from being in your present situation. Once you understand what you are learning and the beliefs that created your situation, you will be able to find a job that honors you, and you may even find your current employer begins to treat you with more respect, or that you start your own business.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Whenever you feel heaviness, a resistance, or a reluctance to continue, it is a sign that you are not following your highest path. Your higher self speaks to you by making you feel joyful when you follow your higher path, and resistant and heavy when you don't. If you are forcing yourself to do things according to a list of "shoulds," you are not listening to the deeper part of your being. Your soul rarely says, "You must do this; you should do that." Your soul says, "Isn't this delightful? Doesn't this bring you great joy? Wouldn't you love to do more of it?"

There are no excuses for not acting upon your dreams. Some of you blame others for your inability to act on your dreams, saying, "I am not free; my husband or my wife won't let me; I have too many responsibilities to my children or parents." If you keep telling yourself why you can't have what you want, you won't have it. Begin to tell yourself why you CAN have what you want. There are always actions you can take right now to make your dreams become a reality.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Sometimes it is easier to get what you want directly rather than first creating money for it. Think of something specific you want that you don't yet have. Instead of creating the money for it, decide that you will focus on having it and letting it come in any way possible.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
No matter what is happening in your life, every situation is teaching you what you need to learn to become more powerful. Everything that is happening is in some way helping you achieve your greatest potential, awaken your inner strength, and gain new levels of mastery. This truly is a loving, generous, abundant, and caring universe, and you will always be given what serves you best.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Appreciate where you are now. Rather than focusing on how far you have to go, appreciate how far you have come. As you look at the long-term goals you want to create it is good to define small, discernible steps along the way. Then, as you reach each step, you can tell the little child inside you, "Congratulations. Job well done! I have come a long way toward my goal."
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Having more money may not make you feel prosperous. It is easy at any level of wealth to spend more than you have and keep yourself feeling broke. Some people do not experience abundance because they spend all the money they make or more, or increase their monthly expenses so much when their income goes up that they don't have enough money to meet their bills when the tide goes out. Those who feel wealthy are usually spending less than they make. Do you need to reduce your expenses to feel more prosperous?
- Sanaya Roman |
|
When you think of others and yourself, have thoughts of riches, prosperity, success, and goodness. Having such thoughts helps make them come true. Let your thoughts about everyone be of their increased good. Picture everyone as successful. Sometimes people bring financial hardship to themselves by dwelling on other people's financial difficulties, for what you focus on is what you draw to yourself.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
All of you have heard at one time or another, "Be appreciative; say thank you." What is the true value of gratitude? Gratitude acknowledges your power and ability to create. It focuses your attention on what you have, and what you pay attention to increases. It is a constant reminder to yourself of how abundant the universe is and how you can trust its unending flow. Appreciation is a state of mind that magnetizes money and abundance to you.

Allow yourself to expand your ideas about what is possible and do not worry if you don't yet have the skills to create it. As you expand your thinking, your ability to manifest what you are dreaming about will develop as well. The more you expand the horizons of your imagination, opening new territories and going beyond what you think is possible, the more you open the doorway to unlimited abundance.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Since your thoughts create your reality, you can create an even better life for yourself by learning to think in bigger and unlimited ways. Unlimited thinking increases creativity, expands your possibilities, draws opportunities to you, and allows you to have more. Unlimited thinking lets you experience in advance the feelings you will have when you have received the abundance you want, and these feelings are the vehicle that brings abundance to you. Use these visions to open your mind to greater possibilities.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
You can cultivate new beliefs that will help you accumulate money. For instance, the belief that you can make a living doing what you love might motivate you to be more creative. You might want to believe that money is something to be enjoyed, something that will contribute to your higher purpose and help you make a contribution to humanity. If you believe you are poor, your subconscious will create events that keep you feeling poor. If you believe that wealth is bad, you will keep yourself from using any of the skills and abilities that might bring you money. If you believe that it is better not to have money, you may end up suppressing your talents and skills because expressing them might bring you financial success.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
If your current job doesn't satisfy you, you may want to transform it rather than leave it. Many of you have good jobs that could be more satisfying if you were willing to change your attitude or work on making the job more suitable to you. It is rare to step into a job and find that everything is perfect; part of your challenge is to make the job fit who you are. If you do not enjoy what you are doing now, that doesn't mean it can't become enjoyable.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
It is important to receive what you think your services are worth, in money or whatever medium is of value to you. If you do not value your time and energy, you cut off your flow of abundance. Your energy determines whether or not money flows freely, harmoniously, and easily for you.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
It is wiser not to put yourself in a position where you have to make immediate decisions without time to thoroughly think things out. If you do find yourself in a situation where you need to make a decision quickly, imagine that you are holding one choice in your right hand and one in your left hand. Ask the hand that holds the higher choice to raise itself.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Remember also that the circumstances of your life can change for the better overnight. It does not need to take time to change the circumstances surrounding your prosperity unless you believe it must take time. If you are feeling depressed about money, remember that this is only a temporary situation and circumstances can change.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Take a moment right now to ask that part of you that is so good at helping others if it would be willing to commit its energies to helping you discover and carry out your own life's work. It is usually delighted to be asked to help you.

To create abundance, it is important to think in positive ways. Positive emotions and thoughts draw what you want to you. Negative emotions do not bring what you want; they bring only what you don't want. Spend quiet, reflective time thinking positively about what you want. When you do not think in higher ways, dwelling on things such as problems, you repel abundance.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
As you become more prosperous, it is likely that you will be around prosperous people. As you think in terms of prosperity, your vibration begins to change and you attract other people who think in terms of abundance as well.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Do not feel jealous or threatened by someone who is successful. Realize that if you are close to a person who is succeeding, you are beginning to have that same vibration of success yourself. Begin now to believe that everyone's success means even more success for you.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Developing any higher quality--be it love, inner peace, well-being, happiness, courage, personal power, or self-respect--will change your vibration and make you magnetic to whatever matches your new vibration. You will become magnetic not only to more money, but to all the forms that will help you express your new level of growth. You will draw to you the things you know you want, as well as having things come to you before you are aware you need them. You will attract things that are better than what you ask for and everything around you will fit who you are.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Objects have energy. You feel the energy of the objects around you at a subtle level, so surround yourself with only those items you love and feel connected to. Broken or useless possessions clutter your energy; it is wise to keep the things around you in good repair so there is order and harmony about you.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
If you want to turn the activities you love into a potential livelihood, you can begin now to connect doing them with making money by charging for your services. When you charge money for doing something you love to do, you link having abundance with using your special gifts. It is a wonderful message to your conscious mind that your time, energy, and skills are valuable.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Every time you send out your money with joy and love, you open another way for the universe to send you money. The next time you pay a bill, imagine that at least ten times more than the amount you pay out is coming back to you. See your money contributing to the prosperity of the person or institution you are paying.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Your thoughts set up the model of what is to be created, and your emotions energize your thoughts and propel them from your inner world to your outer world. The stronger your emotions are, the more rapidly you create what you are thinking about. Your intent acts to direct your thoughts and emotions, maintaining a steady focus on what you want until you get it.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
If you have well-meaning friends who tell you that something is hard to do or can't be done, realize that they are only showing you your own doubts, mirroring them back to you so you may become more aware of them and let them go. As you deal with their objections, you are really dealing with your own doubts and fears.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
When you feel clear about your path, others will usually mirror your confidence back to you.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Always assume that there is a solution that will satisfy both of you, even if you haven't found it yet. Make it your goal to find a way for the other person to come out a winner, and you will make it possible for yourself to come out a winner as well.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Joy is an important attitude that will increase your prosperity. Learn to spend money, even small sums, in ways that bring you joy. When you have larger sums, you will know how to spend them with joy as well. You want your money to bring you happiness and joy. Begin now to let your money bring you joy, and as the amount of money you have increases it will bring you more and more joy.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Enlightenment comes from learning to put awareness and consciousness into all you do, bringing the energy around you into greater harmony, beauty, and order. Doing your life's work provides a vehicle for your enlightenment and spiritual growth, for when you love what you do you naturally put attention and awareness into your activities.
- Samuel Smiles |
|
If there is something you want or need and it will truly serve your higher purpose, it will come to you. Don't make yourself wrong, thinking that you aren't trying hard enough or that you have some inherent deficiency in your ability to manifest. Realize instead that this is a loving universe, and the only things you ask for that don't come to you are the things that do not serve your higher good or that have forms that are not right for you at this time.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
You can draw your life's work to you more quickly by developing the inner strengths and resources you will need to successfully carry it out. You do not need to take large risks or big steps that are inappropriate for you. By starting with small steps and developing your inner resources, each move you make will be an easy next step. As you take small steps, you will discover that your dreams are within your reach and easier to accomplish than you imagined.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Rather than being hard on yourself for not having accomplished more, spend a moment congratulating yourself on how far you have come and how much you have already accomplished. Give yourself reasons why it may be perfect to be where you are today, rather than criticizing yourself because you haven't done more. Acquiring the skill of talking positively to yourself will help you develop inner strength and trust to take the actions you will need to take as you follow your path.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
If you do not have money right now, do not complain of your lack. Talk about your visions and your dreams. Speak of what is good in your life right now, and how positive you feel about the future. Speak to others of your confidence and trust in yourself, without emphasizing your lack.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
When you want something specific, ask, "What essence or functions do I want from this? What are all the ways I will use it? Is this the only acceptable form or way it can come? Am I being open to having the best thing come? Are there other forms that will fulfill the same functions in even better ways?"
- Sanaya Roman |
|
When you draw something to you, either picture the specific object you want and the functions and requirements you want it to fill, or picture the requirements you want it to fill and let it come in whatever is the best form. Either way will work.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Some people are motivated to make money because they think that having it will take away their problems and lessons. You cannot live on earth and avoid lessons; but you can learn them easily and with joy rather than struggle.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Life is like a spiral. You will pass through every stage again and again, experiencing each stage from a higher and higher perspective. When you have very little money, you are learning many lessons that will make it easier to handle money when it comes. To break through this level, you may need to keep your life simple and uncomplicated in terms of money, expenses, demands, and needs. Think of yourself as the rose bush that is cut back in the winter so that it may grow strong in the spring. Use this time to get in touch with basic needs and eliminate those things that do not serve you.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Learning to give to yourself is important in maintaining the flow of abundance. If you cannot give to yourself, there will be a block in the flow, and eventually you will feel it. For instance, healers may burn themselves out if they are always giving to others but are unable to give themselves the time they need to feel nurtured and recharge their energy.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
If you are living at a survival level, do not feel that you are a failure. This is simply the way you have chosen to learn many important lessons. You may be growing rapidly from this experience, or learning that you deserve to have abundance by experiencing lack. You may be discovering how little it takes to live on or how to be generous even when you have very little. You might be learning the higher qualities of trust, compassion, and humility. You may be looking at what is important in your life, sorting through what is meaningful and essential to you and what is not. You might be learning how to let others give to you, or how to feel powerful without money. When you understand, embrace, and accept the lessons, you will no longer need this experience.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Many people think about money primarily when they perceive the amount of money they have as a problem. Doubt and worry about money have no relationship to the amount of money you have, nor is the amount of time you spend worrying about money related to how much money you can create. If you resolve to think about money only when you feel confident and peaceful, you can increase your magnetism to what you want.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Taking the time to do nurturing activities gives your subconscious a message that you are a worthy person who deserves to have your goals met. It will be easier to do some of the larger steps that honor you if you build up to them by doing smaller steps. And it will be easier to follow the inner directions that emerge once you build a habit of honoring your deeper needs and feelings. What nurturing thing can you do for yourself today?
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Are you waiting for someone to give you money or to decide that you can go to school, get a job, or make a change that you want to make? Give yourself permission to do what you want to do with your life. Decide you are going to take action toward your goal. Don't wait for someone else to give you permission to do what you love with your life.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
To discover more about your life's work, look at yourself and ask, "What do I want to do that I love to do? What attracts me? What excites me? What are the issues I am working on in my life? What can I get enthusiastic about doing?
- Sanaya Roman |
|
When you are not receiving money from your usual sources, ask for it from unusual ones. Let it come from other places in the world, from other people, from unexpected sources. When you look around you and do not see yourself receiving what you want, begin asking that all channels of money open to you.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Abundance means having things that fulfill you.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
When you are determined to have something only through a certain source, you cut off all the other ways it can come to you.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
When you look around you and do not see yourself receiving what you want from your usual sources, begin asking that all channels of money open to you.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
There's a lot to the credo that success breeds success. It puts you on a high that makes more success like a magnet. I'm a positive thinker who does frequent reality checks. Negatives turn into positives, problems can be solved, things can turn around. The image of success is important, but even more important is the ability to focus on solutions instead of on problems. That way, you'll never be thinking like a loser, and you probably won't look like one either.

Experience taught me a few things. One is to listen to your gut, no matter how good something sounds on paper. The second is that you're generally better off sticking with what you know. And the third is that sometimes your best investments are the ones you don't make.

The common meaning of gratitude is to be thankful for benefits received. While this is important, I feel that the energy of gratitude is one of the most powerful attracting forces in the universe. A heart filled with Thanksgiving, even when appearances tell us that we are mired in scarcity, conflict, and affliction, moves us to a higher frequency in consciousness and we soon witness reality shining through the illusion.

Hire and promote first on the basis of integrity; second, motivation; third, capacity; fourth, understanding; fifth, knowledge; and last and least, experience. Without integrity, motivation is dangerous; without motivation, capacity is impotent; without capacity, understanding is limited; without understanding, knowledge is meaningless; without knowledge, experience is blind. Experience is easy to provide and quickly put to good use by people with all the other qualities.
- Dee Hock |
|
Never hire or promote in your own image. It is foolish to replicate your strength. It is idiotic to replicate your weakness. It is essential to employ, trust, and reward those whose perspective, ability, and judgment are radically different from yours. It is also rare, for it requires uncommon humility, tolerance, and wisdom.
- Dee Hock |
|
Money motivates neither the best people, nor the best in people. It can move the body and influence the mind, but it cannot touch the heart or move the spirit; that is reserved for belief, principle, and morality. As Napoleon observed, "No amount of money will induce someone to lay down their life, but they will gladly do so for a bit of yellow ribbon."
- Dee Hock |
|
Substance is enduring, form is ephemeral. Failure to distinguish clearly between the two is ruinous. Success follows those adept at preserving the substance of the past by clothing it in the forms of the future. Preserve substance; modify form; know the difference. The closest thing to a law of nature in business is that form has an affinity for expense, while substance has an affinity for income.
- Dee Hock |
|
The problem is never how to get new, innovative thoughts into your mind, but how to get old ones out. Every mind is a room packed with archaic furniture. You must get the old furniture of what you know, think, and believe out before anything new can get in. Make an empty space in any corner of your mind, and creativity will instantly fill it.
- Dee Hock |

Here is the very heart and soul of the matter. If you look to lead, invest at least 40% of your time managing yourself -- your ethics, character, principles, purpose, motivation, and conduct. Invest at least 30% managing those with authority over you, and 15% managing your peers. Use the remainder to induce those you "work for" to understand and practice the theory. I use the terms "work for" advisedly, for if you don't understand that you should be working for your mislabeled "subordinates," you haven't understood anything. Lead yourself, lead your superiors, lead your peers, and free your people to do the same. All else is trivia.

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity.

A human being is part of the whole called by us 'universe,' a part limited in time and space. We experience ourselves, our thoughts, and feelings as something separate from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few people nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.

My philosophy of life is that if we make up our mind what we are going to make of our lives, then work hard toward that goal, we never lose - somehow we win out.

The object of all life is development; and everything that lives has an inalienable right to all the development it is capable of attaining... 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.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
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.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
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.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
The man who owns all he wants for the living of all the life he is capable of living is rich.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
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... 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.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
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.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
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 praiseworthy.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
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.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
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.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
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.
- Wallace D. Wattles |

- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
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.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
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.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
There is a Science of getting rich, and it is an exact science, like algebra or arithmetic. There are certain laws which govern the process of acquiring riches; once these laws are learned and obeyed by any man, he will get rich with mathematical certainty.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
It is a natural law that like causes always produce like effects; and, therefore, any man or woman who learns to do things in this certain way will infallibly get rich.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Getting rich is not a matter of environment, for, if it were, all the people in certain neighborhoods would become wealthy; the people of one city would all be rich, while those of other towns would all be poor; or the inhabitants of one state would roll in wealth, while those of an adjoining state would be in poverty.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Studying the people who have got rich, we find that they are an average lot in all respects, having no greater talents and abilities than other men. It is evident that they do not get rich because they possess talents and abilities that other men have not, but because they happen to do things in a Certain Way.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Getting rich is not the result of saving, or "thrift"; many very penurious people are poor, while free spenders often get rich.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
If getting rich is the result of doing things in a Certain Way, and if like causes always produce like effects, then any man or woman who can do things in that way can become rich, and the whole matter is brought within the domain of exact science.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
The question arises here, whether this Certain Way may not be so difficult that only a few may follow it. This cannot be true, as we have seen, so far as natural ability is concerned. Talented people get rich, and blockheads get rich; intellectually brilliant people get rich, and very stupid people get rich; physically strong people get rich, and weak and sickly people get rich.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
No one is prevented from getting rich by lack of capital. True, as you get capital the increase becomes more easy and rapid; but one who has capital is already rich, and does not need to consider how to become so. No matter how poor you may be, if you begin to do things in the Certain Way you will begin to get rich; and you will begin to have capital.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
The getting of capital is a part of the process of getting rich; and it is a part of the result which invariably follows the doing of things in the Certain Way. You may be the poorest man on the continent, and be deeply in debt; you may have neither friends, influence, nor resources; but if you begin to do things in this way, you must infallibly begin to get rich, for like causes must produce like effects. If you have no capital, you can get capital; if you are in the wrong business, you can get into the right business; if you are in the wrong location, you can go to the right location; and you can do so by beginning in your present business and in your present location to do things in the Certain Way which causes success.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
At different periods the tide of opportunity sets in different directions, according to the needs of the whole, and the particular stage of social evolution which has been reached.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
There is abundance of opportunity for the man who will go with the tide, instead of trying to swim against it.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
No one is kept in poverty by a shortness in the supply of riches; there is more than enough for all. A palace as large as the capitol at Washington might be built for every family on earth from the building material in the United States alone; and under intensive cultivation, this country would produce wool, cotton, linen, and silk enough to cloth each person in the world finer than Solomon was arrayed in all his glory; together with food enough to feed them all luxuriously.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
The visible supply is practically inexhaustible; and the invisible supply really IS inexhaustible
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Everything you see on earth is made from one original substance, out of which all things proceed.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
New Forms are constantly being made, and older ones are dissolving; but all are shapes assumed by One Thing.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
There is no limit to the supply of Formless Stuff, or Original Substance. The universe is made out of it; but it was not all used in making the universe. The spaces in, through, and between the forms of the visible universe are permeated and filled with the Original Substance; with the formless Stuff; with the raw material of all things.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Nature is an inexhaustible storehouse of riches; the supply will never run short. Original Substance is alive with creative energy, and is constantly producing more forms.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
When the supply of building material is exhausted, more will be produced; when the soil is exhausted so that foodstuffs and materials for clothing will no longer grow upon it, it will be renewed or more soil will be made. When all the gold and silver has been dug from the earth, if man is still in such a stage of social development that he needs gold and silver, more will produced from the Formless.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
The Formless Stuff responds to the needs of man; it will not let him be without any good thing.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
This is true of man collectively; the race as a whole is always abundantly rich, and if individuals are poor, it is because they do not follow the Certain Way of doing things which makes the individual man rich.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
The Formless Stuff is intelligent; it is stuff which thinks. It is alive, and is always impelled toward more life.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
It is the natural and inherent impulse of life to seek to live more; it is the nature of intelligence to enlarge itself, and of consciousness to seek to extend its boundaries and find fuller expression. The universe of forms has been made by Formless Living Substance, throwing itself into form in order to express itself more fully.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
The universe is a great Living Presence, always moving inherently toward more life and fuller functioning.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Nature is formed for the advancement of life; its impelling motive is the increase of life. For this cause, everything which can possibly minister to life is bountifully provided; there can be no lack unless God is to contradict himself and nullify his own works.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Thought is the only power which can produce tangible riches from the Formless Substance. The stuff from which all things are made is a substance which thinks, and a thought of form in this substance produces the form.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Original Substance moves according to its thoughts; every form and process you see in nature is the visible expression of a thought in Original Substance. As the Formless Stuff thinks of a form, it takes that form; as it thinks of a motion, it makes that motion. That is the way all things were created. We live in a thought world, which is part of a thought universe. The thought of a moving universe extended throughout Formless Substance, and the Thinking Stuff moving according to that thought, took the form of systems of planets, and maintains that form.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Thinking Substance takes the form of its thought, and moves according to the thought.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Thinking Substance takes the form of its thought, and moves according to the thought.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
In creating, the Formless seems to move according to the lines of motion it has established; the thought of an oak tree does not cause the instant formation of a full-grown tree, but it does start in motion the forces which will produce the tree, along established lines of growth.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Every thought of form, held in thinking Substance, causes the creation of the form, but always, or at least generally, along lines of growth and action already established.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
The thought of a house of a certain construction, if it were impressed upon Formless Substance, might not cause the instant formation, of the house; but it would cause the turning of creative energies already working in trade and commerce into such channels as to result in the speedy building of the house.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
No thought of form can be impressed upon Original Substance without causing the creation of the form.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Man is a thinking center, and can originate thought. All the forms that man fashions with his hands must first exist in his thought; he cannot shape a thing until he has thought that thing.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
And so far man has confined his efforts wholly to the work of his hands; he has applied manual labor to the world of forms, seeking to change or modify those already existing. He has never thought of trying to cause the creation of new forms by impressing his thoughts upon Formless Substance.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
When man has a thought-form, he takes material from the forms of nature, and makes an image of the form which is in his mind. He has, so far, made little or no effort to co-operate with Formless Intelligence; to work "with the Father." He has not dreamed that he can "do what he seeth the Father doing." Man reshapes and modifies existing forms by manual labor; he has given no attention to the question whether he may not produce things from Formless Substance by communicating his thoughts to it.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
First, we assert that there is one original formless stuff, or substance, from which all things are made. All the seemingly many elements are but different presentations of one element; all the many forms found in organic and inorganic nature are but different shapes, made from the same stuff. And this stuff is thinking stuff; a thought held in it produces the form of the thought.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made, and which, in its original state, permeates, penetrates, and fills the interspaces of the universe.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
A thought, in this substance, produces the thing that is imaged by the thought.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Thought, in thinking substance, produces shapes. Man is a thinking center, capable of original thought; if man can communicate his thought to original thinking substance, he can cause the creation, or formation, of the thing he thinks about.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Man can form things in his thought, and, by impressing his thought upon formless substance, can cause the thing he thinks about to be created.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
A man's way of doing things is the direct result of the way he thinks about things.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
To do things in a way you want to do them, you will have to acquire the ability to think the way you want to think; this is the first step toward getting rich. To think what you want to think is to think TRUTH, regardless of appearances.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Every man has the natural and inherent power to think what he wants to think, but it requires far more effort to do so than it does to think the thoughts which are suggested by appearances. To think according to appearance is easy; to think truth regardless of appearances is laborious, and requires the expenditure of more power than any other work man is called upon to perform.
- Wallace D. Wattles |

- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
There is no labor from which most people shrink as they do from that of sustained and consecutive thought; it is the hardest work in the world. This is especially true when truth is contrary to appearances. Every appearance in the visible world tends to produce a corresponding form in the mind which observes it; and this can only be prevented by holding the thought of the TRUTH.

To look upon the appearance of disease will produce the form of disease in your own mind, and ultimately in your body, unless you hold the thought of the truth, which is that there is no disease; it is only an appearance, and the reality is health.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
To look upon the appearances of poverty will produce corresponding forms in your own mind, unless you hold to the truth that there is no poverty; there is only abundance.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
To think health when surrounded by the appearances of disease, or to think riches when in the midst of appearances of poverty, requires power; but he who acquires this power becomes a MASTER MIND. He can conquer fate; he can have what he wants.
- Wallace D. Wattles |

- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Then we must grasp the truth that every thought held in this substance becomes a form, and that man can so impress his thoughts upon it as to cause them to take form and become visible things... When we realize this, we lose all doubt and fear, for we know that we can create what we want to create; we can get what we want to have, and can become what we want to be.

The science of getting rich begins with the absolute acceptance of this faith...
There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made, and which, in its original state, permeates, penetrates, and fills the interspaces of the universe.
A thought, in this substance, produces the thing that is imaged by the thought.
Man can form things in his thought, and, by impressing his thought upon formless substance, can cause the thing he thinks about to be created.

The Intelligent Substance which is All, and in All, and which lives in All and lives in you, is a consciously Living Substance. Being a consciously living substance, it must have the nature and inherent desire of every living intelligence for increase of life. Every living thing must continually seek for the enlargement of its life, because life, in the mere act of living, must increase itself.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
A seed, dropped into the ground, springs into activity, and in the act of living produces a hundred more seeds; life, by living, multiplies itself. It is forever Becoming More; it must do so, if it continues to be at all.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Intelligence is under this same necessity for continuous increase. Every thought we think makes it necessary for us to think another thought; consciousness is continually expanding. Every fact we learn leads us to the learning of another fact; knowledge is continually increasing. Every talent we cultivate brings to the mind the desire to cultivate another talent; we are subject to the urge of life, seeking expression, which ever drives us on to know more, to do more, and to be more.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
The desire for riches is simply the capacity for larger life seeking fulfillment; every desire is the effort of an unexpressed possibility to come into action. It is power seeking to manifest which causes desire. That which makes you want more money is the same as that which makes the plant grow; it is Life, seeking fuller expression.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
The One Living Substance must be subject to this inherent law of all life; it is permeated with the desire to live more; that is why it is under the necessity of creating things... The One Substance desires to live more in you; hence it wants you to have all the things you can use.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
It is the desire of God that you should get rich. He wants you to get rich because he can express himself better through you if you have plenty of things to use in giving him expression. He can live more in you if you have unlimited command of the means of life.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
The universe desires you to have everything you want to have.
Nature is friendly to your plans.
Everything is naturally for you.
Make up your mind that this is true.
- Wallace D. Wattles |

You must want real life, not mere pleasure of sensual gratification. Life is the performance of function; and the individual really lives only when he performs every function, physical, mental, and spiritual, of which he is capable, without excess in any.
- Wallace D. Wattles |

You want to get rich in order that you may eat, drink, and be merry when it is time to do these things; in order that you may surround yourself with beautiful things, see distant lands, feed your mind, and develop your intellect; in order that you may love men and do kind things, and be able to play a good part in helping the world to find truth.

Get rid of the idea that God wants you to sacrifice yourself for others, and that you can secure his favor by doing so; God requires nothing of the kind.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
What he (God) wants is that you should make the most of yourself, for yourself, and for others; and you can help others more by making the most of yourself than in any other way... You can make the most of yourself only by getting rich; so it is right and praiseworthy that you should give your first and best thought to the work of acquiring wealth.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
You must get rid of the thought of competition. You are to create, not to compete for what is already created.

You do not have to cheat, or to take advantage. You do not need to let any man work for you for less than he earns.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
You do not have to covet the property of others, or to look at it with wishful eyes; no man has anything of which you cannot have the like, and that without taking what he has away from him.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
You are to become a creator, not a competitor; you are going to get what you want, but in such a way that when you get it every other man will have more than he has now.

Rockefeller, Carnegie, Morgan, et al., have been the unconscious agents of the Supreme in the necessary work of systematizing and organizing productive industry; and in the end, their work will contribute immensely toward increased life for all.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Riches secured on the competitive plane are never satisfactory and permanent; they are yours today, and another's tomorrow. Remember, if you are to become rich in a scientific and certain way, you must rise entirely out of the competitive thought. You must never think for a moment that the supply is limited. Just as soon as you begin to think that all the money is being "cornered" and controlled by bankers and others, and that you must exert yourself to get laws passed to stop this process, and so on; in that moment you drop into the competitive mind, and your power to cause creation is gone for the time being; and what is worse, you will probably arrest the creative movements you have already instituted.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
KNOW that there are countless millions of dollars' worth of gold in the mountains of the earth, not yet brought to light; and know that if there were not, more would be created from Thinking Substance to supply your needs.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
KNOW that the money you need will come, even if it is necessary for a thousand men to be led to the discovery of new gold mines to-morrow.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Never look at the visible supply; look always at the limitless riches in Formless Substance, and KNOW that they are coming to you as fast as you can receive and use them.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
So never allow yourself to think for an instant that all the best building spots will be taken before you get ready to build your house, unless you hurry. Never worry about the trusts and combines, and get anxious for fear they will soon come to own the whole earth. Never get afraid that you will lose what you want because some other person "beats you to it." That cannot possibly happen; you are not seeking any thing that is possessed by anybody else; you are causing what you want to be created from formless Substance, and the supply is without limits.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
When I say that you do not have to drive sharp bargains, I do not mean that you do not have to drive any bargains at all, or that you are above the necessity for having any dealings with your fellow men. I mean that you will not need to deal with them unfairly; you do not have to get something for nothing, but can give to every man more than you take from him.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
When you rise from the competitive to the creative plane, you can scan your business transactions very strictly, and if you are selling any man anything which does not add more to his life than the thing he gave you in exchange, you can afford to stop it. You do not have to beat anybody in business. And if you are in a business which does beat people, get out of it at once.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Give every man more in use value than you take from him in cash value; then you are adding to the life of the world by every business transaction.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
If you have people working for you, you must take from them more in cash value than you pay them in wages; but you can so organize your business that it will be filled with the principle of advancement, and so that each employee who wishes to do so may advance a little every day.
- Wallace D. Wattles |

It will be brought to you by the power of the Supreme Intelligence, acting upon the minds of men. If you live in Maine, it may be that a man will be brought from Texas or Japan to engage in some transaction which will result in your getting what you want... If so, the whole matter will be as much to that man's advantage as it is to yours.
- W. Clement Stone |

Hold the mental image of it with the most positive certainty that it is being made, or is on its way to you. After once forming the thought, have the most absolute and unquestioning faith that it is coming; never think of it, or speak, of it, in any other way than as being sure to arrive. Claim it as already yours.

If you fix upon your consciousness the fact that the desire you feel for the possession of riches is one with the desire of Omnipotence for more complete expression, your faith becomes invincible.

God, the One Substance, is trying to live and do and enjoy things through humanity. He is saying "I want hands to build wonderful structures, to play divine harmonies, to paint glorious pictures; I want feet to run my errands, eyes to see my beauties, tongues to tell mighty truths and to sing marvelous songs," and so on.

All that there is of possibility is seeking expression through men. God wants those who can play music to have pianos and every other instrument, and to have the means to cultivate their talents to the fullest extent; He wants those who can appreciate beauty to be able to surround themselves with beautiful things; He wants those who can discern truth to have every opportunity to travel and observe; He wants those who can appreciate dress to be beautifully clothed, and those who can appreciate good food to be luxuriously fed.

It is easy to understand that the nearer we live to the source of wealth, the more wealth we shall receive; and it is easy also to understand that the soul that is always grateful lives in closer touch with God than the one which never looks to Him in thankful acknowledgment.

The more gratefully we fix our minds on the Supreme when good things come to us, the more good things we will receive, and the more rapidly they will come; and the reason simply is that the mental attitude of gratitude draws the mind into closer touch with the source from which the blessings come.

The law of gratitude is the natural principle that action and reaction are always equal, and in opposite directions... The grateful outreaching of your mind in thankful praise to the Supreme is a liberation or expenditure of force; it cannot fail to reach that to which it addressed, and the reaction is an instantaneous movement towards you.

And if your gratitude is strong and constant, the reaction in Formless Substance will be strong and continuous; the movement of the things you want will be always toward you. Notice the grateful attitude that Jesus took; how He always seems to be saying, "I thank Thee, Father, that Thou hearest me." You cannot exercise much power without gratitude; for it is gratitude that keeps you connected with Power.

The moment you permit your mind to dwell with dissatisfaction upon things as they are, you begin to lose ground. You fix attention upon the common, the ordinary, the poor, and the squalid and mean; and your mind takes the form of these things. Then you will transmit these forms or mental images to the Formless, and the common, the poor, the squalid, and mean will come to you.

To permit your mind to dwell upon the inferior is to become inferior and to surround yourself with inferior things...

Do not waste time thinking or talking about the shortcomings or wrong actions of plutocrats or trust magnates.

Do not rage against, corrupt politicians; if it were not for politicians we should fall into anarchy, and your opportunity would be greatly lessened.

God has worked a long time and very patiently to bring us up to where we are in industry and government, and He is going right on with His work. There is not the least doubt that He will do away with plutocrats, trust magnates, captains of industry, and politicians as soon as they can be spared; but in the meantime, behold they are all very good. Remember that they are all helping to arrange the lines of transmission along which your riches will come to you, and be grateful to them all. This will bring you into harmonious relations with the good in everything, and the good in everything will move toward you.

You must form a clear and definite mental picture of what you want; you cannot transmit an idea unless you have it yourself...

It is not enough that you should have a wish to travel, see things, live more, etc. Everybody has those desires also. If you were going to send a wireless message to a friend, you would not send the letters of the alphabet in their order, and let him construct the message for himself; nor would you take words at random from the dictionary. You would send a coherent sentence; one which meant something. When you try to impress your wants upon Substance, remember that it must be done by a coherent statement; you must know what you want, and be definite. You can never get rich, or start the creative power into action, by sending out unformed longings and vague desires.

Something more is necessary, however, than merely to see the picture clearly. If that is all you do, you are only a dreamer, and will have little or no power for accomplishment... Behind your clear vision must be the purpose to realize it; to bring it out in tangible expression... And behind this purpose must be an invincible and unwavering FAITH that the thing is already yours; that it is "at hand" and you have only to take possession of it.

As this impression spreads, all things are set moving toward its realization; every living thing, every inanimate thing, and the things yet uncreated, are stirred toward bringing into being that which you want. All force begins to be exerted in that direction; all things begin to move toward you.

If you want to become rich, you must not make a study of poverty.. Things are not brought into being by thinking about their opposites. Health is never to be attained by studying disease and thinking about disease; righteousness is not to be promoted by studying sin and thinking about sin; and no one ever got rich by studying poverty and thinking about poverty.

Do no tell of the poverty of your parents, or the hardships of your early life; to do any of these things is to mentally class yourself with the poor for the time being, and it will certainly check the movement of things in your direction... "Let the dead bury their dead," as Jesus said.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Do not read religious books which tell you that the world is soon coming to an end; and do not read the writing of muck-rakers and pessimistic philosophers who tell you that it is going to the devil... The world is not going to the devil; it is going to God... It is wonderful Becoming.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
No matter how horrible in seeming may be the conditions in certain countries, sections, or places, you waste your time and destroy your own chances by considering them.. You should interest yourself in the world's becoming rich.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Think of the riches the world is coming into, instead of the poverty it is growing out of; and bear in mind that the only way in which you can assist the world in growing rich is by growing rich yourself through the creative method--not the competitive one... Give your attention wholly to riches; ignore poverty.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
To become really rich is the noblest aim you can have in life, for it includes everything else.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
All that is possible in the way of greatness and soul unfoldment, of service and lofty endeavor, comes by way of getting rich; all is made possible by the use of things.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Moral and spiritual greatness is possible only to those who are above the competitive battle for existence; and only those who are becoming rich on the plane of creative thought are free from the degrading influences of competition.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
If your heart is set on domestic happiness, remember that love flourishes best where there is refinement, a high level of thought, and freedom from corrupting influences; and these are to be found only where riches are attained by the exercise of creative thought, without strife or rivalry.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
You can aim at nothing so great or noble, I repeat, as to become rich; and you must fix your attention upon your mental picture of riches, to the exclusion of all that may tend to dim or obscure the vision.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
You must learn to see the underlying TRUTH in all things; you must see beneath all seemingly wrong conditions the Great One Life ever moving forward toward fuller expression and more complete happiness.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
It is the Truth that there is no such thing as poverty; that there is only wealth.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Some people remain in poverty because they are ignorant of the fact that there is wealth for them; and these can best be taught by showing them the way to affluence in your own person and practice.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Others are poor because, while they feel that there is a way out, they are too intellectually indolent to put forth the mental effort necessary to find that way and by travel it; and for these the very best thing you can do is to arouse their desire by showing them the happiness that comes from being rightly rich.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
The very best thing you can do for the whole world is to make the most of yourself.

The very best thing you can do for the whole world is to make the most of yourself.

You can serve God and man in no more effective way than by getting rich; that is, if you get rich by the creative method and not by the competetive one.

There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made, and which, in its original state, permeates, penetrates, and fills the interspaces of the universe.
A thought, in this substance, Produces the thing that is imaged by the thought.
Man can form things in his thought, and, by impressing his thought upon formless substance, can cause the thing he thinks about to be created.

Thought is the creative power, or the impelling force which causes the creative power to act; thinking in a Certain Way will bring riches to you, but you must not rely upon thought alone, paying no attention to personal action. That is the rock upon which many otherwise scientific metaphysical thinkers meet shipwreck--the failure to connect thought with personal action.

- Wallace D. Wattles |

By thought you can cause the gold in the hearts of the mountains to be impelled toward you; but it will not mine itself, refine itself, coin itself into double eagles, and come rolling along the roads seeking its way into your pocket... Under the impelling power of the Supreme Spirit, men's affairs will be so ordered that some one will be led to mine the gold for you; other men's business transactions will be so directed that the gold will be brought toward you, and you must so arrange your own business affairs that you may be able to receive it when it comes to you. Your thought makes all things, animate and inanimate, work to bring you what you want; but your personal activity must be such that you can rightly receive what you want when it reaches you.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
The scientific use of thought consists in forming a clear and distinct mental image of what you want; in holding fast to the purpose to get what you want; and in realizing with grateful faith that you do get what you want.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Your faith and purpose positively impress your vision upon Formless Substance, which has THE SAME DESIRE FOR MORE LIFE THAT YOU HAVE; and this vision, received from you, sets all the creative forces at work IN AND THROUGH THEIR REGULAR CHANNELS OF ACTION, but directed toward you.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
It is not your part to guide or supervise the creative process; all you have to do with that is to retain your vision, stick to your purpose, and maintain your faith and gratitude.

- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
This is the crucial point in the science of getting rich; right here, where thought and personal action must be combined. There are very many people who, consciously or unconsciously, set the creative forces in action by the strength and persistence of their desires, but who remain poor because they do not provide for the reception of the thing they want when it comes.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
By thought, the thing you want is brought to you; by action you receive it.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
By thought, the thing you want is brought to you; by action you receive it.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Do not give your creative impulse to Original Substance, and then sit down and wait for results; if you do, you will never get them. Act now. There is never any time but now, and there never will be any time but now. If you are ever to begin to make ready for the reception of what you want, you must begin now... And your action, whatever it is, must most likely be in your present business or employment, and must be upon the persons and things in your present environment.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Do not wait for a change of environment, before you act; get a change of environment by action... You can so act upon the environment in which you are now, as to cause yourself to be transferred to a better environment.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Hold with faith and purpose the vision of yourself in the better environment, but act upon your present environment with all your heart, and with all your strength, and with all your mind.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Do not cast about seeking some new thing to do, or some strange, unusual, or remarkable action to perform as a first step toward getting rich. It is probable that your actions, at least for some time to come, will be those you have been performing for some time past; but you are to begin now to perform these actions in the Certain Way, which will surely make you rich.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
If you are engaged in some business, and feel that it is not the right one for you, do not wait until you get into the right business before you begin to act... Do not feel discouraged, or sit down and lament because you are misplaced. No man was ever so misplaced but that he could not find the right place, and no man ever became so involved in the wrong business but that he could get into the right business.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Hold the vision of yourself in the right business, with the purpose to get into it, and the faith that you will get into it, and are getting into it; but ACT in your present business. Use your present business as the means of getting a better one, and use your present environment as the means of getting into a better one.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Your vision of the right business, if held with faith and purpose, will cause the Supreme to move the right business toward you; and your action, if performed in the Certain Way, will cause you to move toward the business.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Hold the vision of yourself in the job you want, while you ACT with faith and purpose on the job you have, and you will certainly get the job you want.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Hold the vision of yourself in the job you want, while you ACT with faith and purpose on the job you have, and you will certainly get the job you want.. Your vision and faith will set the creative force in motion to bring it toward you, and your action will cause the forces in your own environment to move you toward the place you want.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Man must pass from the competitive to the creative mind; he must form a clear mental picture of the things he wants, and hold this picture in his thoughts with the fixed PURPOSE to get what he wants, and the unwavering FAITH that he does get what he wants, closing his mind to all that may tend to shake his purpose, dim his vision, or quench his faith.

|
It is really not the number of things you do, but the EFFICIENCY of each separate action that counts.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Every act is, in itself, either a success or a failure... Every act is, in itself, either effective or inefficient... Every inefficient act is a failure, and if you spend your life in doing inefficient acts, your whole life will be a failure... On the other hand, every efficient act is a success in itself, and if every act of your life is an efficient one, your whole life MUST be a success... The cause of failure is doing too many things in an inefficient manner, and not doing enough things in an efficient manner.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Every action is either strong or weak; and when every one is strong, you are acting in the Certain Way which will make you rich... Every act can be made strong and efficient by holding your vision while you are doing it, and putting the whole power of your FAITH and PURPOSE into it.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Remember that successful action is cumulative in its results. Since the desire for more life is inherent in all things, when a man begins to move toward larger life more things attach themselves to him, and the influence of his desire is multiplied.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Do, every day, all that you can do that day, and do each act in an efficient manner.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
It should be the work of your leisure hours to use your imagination on the details of your vision, and to contemplate them until they are firmly fixed upon memory. If you wish speedy results, spend practically all your spare time in this practice.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
By continuous contemplation you will get the picture of what you want, even to the smallest details, so firmly fixed upon your mind, and so completely transferred to the mind of Formless Substance, that in your working hours you need only to mentally refer to the picture to stimulate your faith and purpose, and cause your best effort to be put forth.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Man can form things in his thought, and, by impressing his thought upon formless substance, can cause the thing he thinks about to be created... In order to do this, man must pass from the competitive to the creative mind; he must form a clear mental picture of the things he wants, and do, with faith and purpose, all that can be done each day, doing each separate thing in an efficient manner.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
You will get rich most easily in point of effort, if you do that for which you are best fitted; but you will get rich most satisfactorily if you do that which you WANT to do.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Doing what you want to do is life; and there is no real satisfaction in living if we are compelled to be forever doing something which we do not like to do, and can never do what we want to do. And it is certain that you can do what you want to do; the desire to do it is proof that you have within you the power which can do it.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
The desire to play music is the power which can play music seeking expression and development; the desire to invent mechanical devices is the mechanical talent seeking expression and development.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Where there is no power, either developed or undeveloped, to do a thing, there is never any desire to do that thing; and where there is strong desire to do a thing, it is certain proof that the power to do it is strong, and only requires to be developed and applied in the Right Way.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
If you feel that you are not in the right vocation, do not act too hastily in trying to get into another one. The best way, generally, to change business or environment is by growth.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
There is never any hurry on the creative plane; and there is no lack of opportunity.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
When you get out of the competitive mind you will understand that you never need to act hastily. No one else is going to beat you to the thing you want to do; there is enough for all. If one space is taken, another and a better one will be opened for you a little farther on; there is plenty of time. When you are in doubt, wait. Fall back on the contemplation of your vision, and increase your faith and purpose; and by all means, in times of doubt and indecision, cultivate gratitude.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
A day or two spent in contemplating the vision of what you want, and in earnest thanksgiving that you are getting it, will bring your mind into such close relationship with the Supreme that you will make no mistake when you do act.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
There is a mind which knows all there is to know; and you can come into close unity with this mind by faith and the purpose to advance in life, if you have deep gratitude.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Mistakes come from acting hastily, or from acting in fear or doubt, or in forgetfulness of the Right Motive, which is more life to all, and less to none.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
As you go on in the Certain Way, opportunities will come to you in increasing number; and you will need to be very steady in your faith and purpose, and to keep in close touch with the All Mind by reverent gratitude.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Remember that in the moment you begin to hurry you cease to be a creator and become a competitor; you drop back upon the old plane again.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Whenever you find yourself hurrying, call a halt; fix your attention on the mental image of the thing you want, and begin to give thanks that you are getting it. The exercise of GRATITUDE will never fail to strengthen your faith and renew your purpose.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
In so far as your business consists in dealing with other men, whether personally or by letter, the key-thought of all your efforts must be to convey to their minds the impression of increase.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Increase is what all men and all women are seeking; it is the urge of the Formless Intelligence within them, seeking fuller expression.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
The desire for increase is inherent in all nature; it is the fundamental impulse of the universe. All human activities are based on the desire for increase; people are seeking more food, more clothes, better shelter, more luxury, more beauty, more knowledge, more pleasure-- increase in something, more life.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Every living thing is under this necessity for continuous advancement; where increase of life ceases, dissolution and death set in at once... Man instinctively knows this, and hence he is forever seeking more. This law of perpetual increase is set forth by Jesus in the parable of the talents; only those who gain more retain any; from him who hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath... The normal desire for increased wealth is not an evil or a reprehensible thing; it is simply the desire for more abundant life; it is aspiration.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
The normal desire for increased wealth is not an evil or a reprehensible thing; it is simply the desire for more abundant life; it is aspiration.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Because it is the deepest instinct of their natures, all men and women are attracted to him who can give them more of the means of life.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Convey the impression of advancement with everything you do, so that all people shall receive the impression that you are an Advancing Man, and that you advance all who deal with you. Even to the people whom you meet in a social way, without any thought of business, and to whom you do not try to sell anything, give the thought of increase.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
You can convey this impression by holding the unshakable faith that you, yourself, are in the Way of Increase; and by letting this faith inspire, fill, and permeate every action.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Do everything that you do in the firm conviction that you are an advancing personality, and that you are giving advancement to everybody.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Feel that you are getting rich, and that in so doing you are making others rich, and conferring benefits on all.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Wherever you find a boastful person, you find one who is secretly doubtful and afraid. Simply feel the faith, and let it work out in every transaction; let every act and tone and look express the quiet assurance that you are getting rich; that you are already rich. Words will not be necessary to communicate this feeling to others; they will feel the sense of increase when in your presence, and will be attracted to you again.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
You must so impress others that they will feel that in associating with you they will get increase for themselves. See that you give them a use value greater than the cash value you are taking from them.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Take an honest pride in doing this, and let everybody know it; and you will have no lack of customers. People will go where they are given increase; and the Supreme, which desires increase in all, and which knows all, will move toward you men and women who have never heard of you. Your business will increase rapidly, and you will be surprised at the unexpected benefits which will come to you.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Look out for the temptation to seek for authority, to become a "master," to be considered as one who is above the common herd, to impress others by lavish display, and so on... The mind that seeks for mastery over others is the competitive mind; and the competitive mind is not the creative one.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Beware of the competitive mind!! No better statement of the principle of creative action can be formulated than the favorite declaration of the late "Golden Rule" Jones of Toledo: "What I want for myself, I want for everybody."
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
No matter whether you are a physician, a teacher, or a clergyman, if you can give increase of life to others and make them sensible of the fact, they will be attracted to you, and you will get rich.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
The physician who holds the vision of himself as a great and successful healer, and who works toward the complete realization of that vision with faith and purpose, as described in former chapters, will come into such close touch with the Source of Life that he will be phenomenally successful; patients will come to him in throngs.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
In the field of religion, the world cries out for the clergyman who can teach his hearers the true science of abundant life.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
He who masters the details of the science of getting rich, together with the allied sciences of being well, of being great, and of winning love, and who teaches these details from the pulpit, will never lack for a congregation. This is the gospel that the world needs; it will give increase of life, and men will hear it gladly, and will give liberal support to the man who brings it to them.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
What is now needed is a demonstration of the science of life from the pulpit. We want preachers who can not only tell us how, but who in their own persons will show us how. We need the preacher who will himself be rich, healthy, great, and beloved, to teach us how to attain to these things; and when he comes he will find a numerous and loyal following.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
The combined mental and personal action I have described is infallible; it cannot fail. Every man and woman who follows these instructions steadily, perseveringly, and to the letter, will get rich. The law of the Increase of Life is as mathematically certain in its operation as the law of gravitation; getting rich is an exact science.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
The man who is certain to advance is the one who is too big for his place, and who has a clear concept of what he wants to be; who knows that he can become what he wants to be and who is determined to BE what he wants to be.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
There is a Power which never fails to present opportunity to the Advancing Man who is moving in obedience to law.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Begin this way of thinking and acting, and your faith and purpose will make you quick to see any opportunity to better your condition... Such opportunities will speedily come, for the Supreme, working in All, and working for you, will bring them before you.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Do not wait for an opportunity to be all that you want to be; when an opportunity to be more than you are now is presented and you feel impelled toward it, take it. It will be the first step toward a greater opportunity.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
There is no such thing possible in this universe as a lack of opportunities for the man who is living the advancing life... It is inherent in the constitution of the cosmos that all things shall be for him and work together for his good; and he must certainly get rich if he acts and thinks in the Certain Way.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
The more men who get rich on the competitive plane, the worse for others; the more who get rich on the creative plane, the better for others.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Neither the government under which you live nor the capitalistic or competitive system of industry can keep you from getting rich. When you enter upon the creative plane of thought you will rise above all these things and become a citizen of another kingdom.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Whenever you do fall into old ways of thought, correct yourself instantly; for when you are in the competitive mind, you have lost the cooperation of the Mind of the Whole.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Do not concern yourself with questions as to how you shall surmount obstacles which may loom upon your business horizon, unless you can see plainly that your course must be altered today in order to avoid them.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Do not spend any time in planning as to how you will meet possible emergencies in the future, except as the necessary policies may affect your actions today. You are concerned with doing today's work in a perfectly successful manner, and not with emergencies which may arise tomorrow; you can attend to them as they come.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
No matter how tremendous an obstruction may appear at a distance, you will find that if you go on in the Certain Way it will disappear as you approach it, or that a way over, though, or around it will appear.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
No possible combination of circumstances can defeat a man or woman who is proceeding to get rich along strictly scientific lines. No man or woman who obeys the law can fail to get rich, any more than one can multiply two by two and fail to get four.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Guard your speech. Never speak of yourself, your affairs, or of anything else in a discouraged or discouraging way.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Never admit the possibility of failure, or speak in a way that infers failure as a possibility.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Never speak of the times as being hard, or of business conditions as being doubtful. Times may be hard and business doubtful for those who are on the competitive plane, but they can never be so for you; you can create what you want, and you are above fear.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Train yourself to think of and to look upon the world as a something which is Becoming, which is growing; and to regard seeming evil as being only that which is undeveloped. Always speak in terms of advancement; to do otherwise is to deny your faith, and to deny your faith is to lose it.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Never allow yourself to feel disappointed. You may expect to have a certain thing at a certain time, and not get it at that time; and this will appear to you like failure... But if you hold to your faith you will find that the failure is only apparent.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Go on in the certain way, and if you do not receive that thing, you will receive something so much better that you will see that the seeming failure was really a great success.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
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.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Do not hesitate or waver for fear that when you come to any certain place you will fail for lack of ability; keep right on, and when you come to that place, the ability will be furnished to you. The same source of Ability which enabled the untaught Lincoln to do the greatest work in government ever accomplished by a single man is open to you; you may draw upon all the mind there is for wisdom to use in meeting the responsibilities which are laid upon you. Go on in full faith.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Man must pass from the competitive to the creative mind; otherwise he cannot be in harmony with the Formless Intelligence, which is always creative and never competitive in spirit.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Man may come into full harmony with the Formless Substance by entertaining a lively and sincere gratitude for the blessings it bestows upon him. Gratitude unifies the mind of man with the intelligence of Substance, so that man's thoughts are received by the Formless. Man can remain upon the creative plane only by uniting himself with the Formless Intelligence through a deep and continuous feeling of gratitude.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
Man must form a clear and definite mental image of the things he wishes to have, to do, or to become; and he must hold this mental image in his thoughts, while being deeply grateful to the Supreme that all his desires are granted to him. The man who wishes to get rich must spend his leisure hours in contemplating his Vision, and in earnest thanksgiving that the reality is being given to him. Too much stress cannot be laid on the importance of frequent contemplation of the mental image, coupled with unwavering faith and devout gratitude. This is the process by which the impression is given to the Formless, and the creative forces set in motion.

- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
The creative energy works through the established channels of natural growth, and of the industrial and social order. All that is included in his mental image will surely be brought to the man who follows the instructions given above, and whose faith does not waver. What he wants will come to him through the ways of established trade and commerce.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
In order to receive his own when it shall come to him, man must be active; and this activity can only consist in more than filling his present place. He must keep in mind the Purpose to get rich through the realization of his mental image. And he must do, every day, all that can be done that day, taking care to do each act in a successful manner.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
He must give to every man a use value in excess of the cash value he receives, so that each transaction makes for more life; and he must so hold the Advancing Thought that the impression of increase will be communicated to all with whom he comes in contact.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
The men and women who practice the foregoing instructions will certainly get rich; and the riches they receive will be in exact proportion to the definiteness of their vision, the fixity of their purpose, the steadiness of their faith, and the depth of their gratitude.
- Wallace D. Wattles |
|
The truth is the whole. The whole, however, is merely the essential nature reaching its completeness through the process of its own development.

...gradual change is usually more fruitful in the long run than is forced, ultra-aggressive upheaval. Undertaken wisely, steady transitions cultivate authenticity, groundedness, and virtues--like patience, compassion (for self and others), and perseverance. All these qualities improve your probability of success when, ultimately, you do figure out how to actualize your personal vision.

Burning desire to be or do something gives us staying power--a reason to get up every morning or to pick ourselves up and start in again after a disappointment.

Expressing your enthusiasms can add years of creative life to your time on earth.
- Marsha Sinetar |
|
Hesitation, depression or envy of those who appear to have what we want are often signs of weakness or lack of vigorous, clear purpose. These feelings may be saying we're not yet ready to create our good. When we're emotionally unprepared, we want something for nothing, and quickly.
- Marsha Sinetar |
|
The wish for instant gratification undermines the strengths of both individual and collective enterprise.
- Marsha Sinetar |
|
Identifying your enthusiasms requires courage and heroic creative vision. You have to believe that what you want is possible for you.

Responsible choice involves consequences, not the least of which are relinquishments all along our way.

All work done mindfully rounds us out, helps complete us as persons.
- Marsha Sinetar |

The significant business of your life is alive and well, awaiting discovery, within your very soul. You and I were born to come into ourselves as complete and distinctive persons. Accepting this, we build a valuable life. This is the hidden, undergirding occupation beneath anyone's meaningful purpose.
- Marsha Sinetar |

What do your conversations say about your self-beliefs? Do your words and self-descriptions enable your creative skills, let you sustain the tensions of change? Or, does your everyday language discourage you, and cause you to run from unknown?
- Marsha Sinetar |

...leadership is power to endure an ongoing quest for information or influence...not just actual triumphs like making profits or achieving stated objectives.

Practice builds skill. I've heard golfers and tennis players say, "The harder I practice, the luckier my game gets."
- Marsha Sinetar |
|
Only the strongest egos escape the trap of perfectionism. To solve problems successfully, you must believe you can, must feel capable enough to improvise. Yet too many adults have been schooled away from their ability to experiment freely.
- Marsha Sinetar |
|
Success breeds success. Attend to your mind's most joyful, effective discovery process. Bolster the self-beliefs that add confidence, lucidity, and tenacity to your efforts. You'll get more out of what you notice, so heed whatever gives you wisdom.
- Marsha Sinetar |
|
Our own beliefs create inner turmoil or harmony and lifelong learning. If we can assimilate every event as instruction, nothing is wasted, no experience is for naught.

The amount of good luck coming your way depends on your willingness to act.

When you play it too safe, you're taking the biggest risk of your life...Time is the only wealth we're given.

You must go after your wish. As soon as you start to pursue a dream, your life wakes up and everything has meaning.
- Barbara Sher |
|
'Now' is the operative word. Everything you put in your way is just a method of putting off the hour when you could actually be doing your dream. You don't need endless time and perfect conditions. Do it now. Do it today. Do it for twenty minutes and watch your heart start beating.
- Barbara Sher |

...being judgmental about your own behavior is actually another cop-out because it makes you feel as though you're doing something virtuous.

Sometimes the only thing we do to avoid success is refuse to be energetic on our own behalf.

It's essential to distinguish between events that are really beyond your control and events you caused yourself.

If you truly feared failure, you'd be very successful.

'Doing your own thing' is a generous act. Being gifted creates obligations, which means you owe the world your best effort at the work you love. You too are a natural resource.
- Barbara Sher |
|
Every single one of us can do things that no one else can do--can love things that no one else can love...We are like violins. We can be used for doorstops, or we can make music. You know what to do.
- Barbara Sher |

When you start using senses you've neglected, your reward is to see the world with completely fresh eyes.
- Barbara Sher |
|
I believe you can have whatever you really want in this life, in one form or another, sooner or later. All you have to do is take care of your health and be lucky enough to live for a while. But you can't have it all at once and you can't have it forever. No life has the room for everything in it, not on the same day.
- Barbara Sher |
|
You don't have to get it right the first time.
- Barbara Sher |
|
Imaginary obstacles are insurmountable. Real ones aren't. But you can't tell the difference when you have no real information. Fear can create even more imaginary obstacles than ignorance can. That's why the smallest step away from speculation and into reality can be an amazing relief...The Reality Solution means: Do it before you're ready.
- Barbara Sher |
|
Real obstacles don't take you in circles. They can be overcome. Invented ones are like a maze.
- Barbara Sher |
|
Doing is a quantum leap from imagining. Thinking about swimming isn't much like actually getting in the water. Actually getting in the water can take your breath away. The defense force inside of us wants us to be cautious, to stay away from anything as intense as a new kind of action. Its job is to protect us, and it categorically avoids anything resembling danger. But it's often wrong... Anything worth doing is worth doing too soon.
- Barbara Sher |

Resentment is weak and lowers your self-esteem.

You can learn new things at any time in your life if you're willing to be a beginner. If you actually learn to like being a beginner, the whole world opens up to you.

While it can be a good stretch to occasionally try out activities you don't like, your strongest talents will only show themselves when you're doing what you want to do.
- Barbara Sher |
|
When someone attaches unkindness to criticism, she's angry. Angry people need to criticize as an outlet for their anger. That's why you must reject unkind criticism. Unkind criticism is never part of a meaningful critique of you. Its purpose is not to teach or to help, its purpose is to punish.
- Barbara Sher |
|
Becoming generous, carrying someone else for a while, does amazing things for your self-esteem. Selfishness--even in the name of an injustice--lowers your self-respect and creates shame.
- Barbara Sher |
|
You cannot tell your heart what it wants. Your heart will tell you.
- Barbara Sher |
|
The worst thing that can happen to you as an enthusiastic adult is that you could appear foolish to people who need to criticize. Let me assure you--enthusiasm is worth this risk. If you allow yourself to be enthusiastic, you'll be so full of wonder, you won't care what people think.
- Barbara Sher |
|
What you love is as unique to you as your fingerprints. You need to know that because nothing will make you really happy but doing what you love.
- Barbara Sher |
|
...maybe you don't know exactly what your dreams are, but you can sense them somewhere deep within you. Even when they're not clearly defined, they're never far away. As a matter of fact, dreams are almost impossible to get rid of. They trouble and tempt you. They keep reminding you that you're not satisfied with your life, that something crucial is missing.
And that's very lucky for you. If your dreams didn't trouble you, you'd forget them entirely.
- Barbara Sher |
|
Assuming that the same program will work for all of us is like feeding oats to a tiger or birdseed to a horse.
- Barbara Sher |
|
...the reason most of us haven't been able to run after our dreams is that we were wearing the wrong size shoes. All we have to do is discover what fits us, and chances are we'll do just fine.
- Barbara Sher |
|
...dreams are astoundingly important. They keep nagging you because you're supposed to fulfill them. When you sense you're special, you're not neurotic or grandiose. Something inside you is calling to you and you have to listen. When you love to do something, that means you have a gift for it...And when you're gifted at something, you have to do it.
- Barbara Sher |
|
If you don't pay attention to what you love, you could overlook your greatest gifts! That love is the surefire indicator of hidden gifts, and it is the only way to find them. Skills don't count. They're just abilities that were useful enough to be developed. Gifts often haven't had the chance to be developed and because of that we're fooled into thinking they don't exist.
- Barbara Sher |
|
There is always a realistic way to fulfill any dream. There has never been a dream that you can't have--at least, not the heart of it, not the part you love the most.
- Barbara Sher |
|
...not fulfilling your dreams will be a loss to the world, because the world needs everyone's gift--yours and mine.
- Barbara Sher |
|
Nobody makes you go after dream. It's not like doing your school work or paying your rent. No one is waiting for you to realize all your talents. You're on your own. Fulfilling your own potential, realizing your gifts, these are the only important things in our culture that are left entirely to you.
- Barbara Sher |
|
In the rush of daily living it's easy to forget all the remarkable people, real or fictional, who have been a part of your life. But if you just imagine they are near for a moment, you will realize that anyone who ever touched your heart is always with you, patiently waiting to emanate warmth and support whenever you remember to think of them.
- Barbara Sher |
|
It's time to accept the truth that the human mind and human endeavor are not built up by daily application. The mind does not build like a bicep... Creative ideas can't be forced either; they have a life of their own. Studies show that many of the most remarkable ideas came when the thinker was doing something completely unrelated. So have some respect for your own rhythms.
- Barbara Sher |
|
...time itself, because it protects you from shapelessness, because it makes you pace yourself, and because it reminds you to keep moving, could very well be one of your greatest allies... But only if it persuades you to keep moving, and not to panic.
- Barbara Sher |
|
Most people don't get much praise in daily life, but we all need it very much. I think receiving praise makes us brave. Down deep we really know our worth, but we don't have easy access to that knowledge. We need to hear praise coming from outside ourselves or we won't remember that we deserve it.

Respect your time, your needs, and your spiritual path. If you find yourself unable to set boundaries, to tell where you end and others begin, if you feel other people's feelings as if they are your own, lift solar plexus energy into your heart center.

Learn to recognize when you are helping others because you feel that they do not have the strength or ability to solve their own problems. When you feel an urge to help people in a way that will "save" them or take away their lessons, stop! You may find that your desire to help others really comes from your own need to feel better and to have less concern and worry about their problems. Assume that people have the ability to solve their own problems, even if you cannot see how they will. While your soul is interested in assisting people, it does not interfere with their lives. It allows people to have their own ideas, to live in whatever way they choose, to learn from their mistakes, and to achieve their own successes.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Discover any reactions to others that may contain even the slightest desire to hurt them. Watch your moods and feelings so you can still act loving to others even when you are experiencing negative emotions yourself. Surrender to your soul's love and lift any solar plexus energy into your heart center. Respond to those around you with kindness. Recall several times when you have done this, and how good you felt about yourself afterward.
- Sanaya Roman |
|
Think of someone you love and recognize how consistently you offer love, even during difficult times. Think of all the times you have offered love, even when you have been tempted to withdraw your love. Acknowledge how consistent your love already is. Make a picture of loving this person with a love that is even more consistent and unwavering.

Money is not real. Money is merely legal tender, a form of exchange. We use it to exchange value. It represents value... Money is the `body' of value. It is the physical representation of value that rises and falls in ourselves, within us. Not within `things' outside of us, but within us.
- David Cameron |
|
It is we, the observers, that place value in things, but this value is really value in us - we give value to the material things. The material things have no 'money' value in themselves we give that to them. So, money is the external physical representation of a particular section of our internal value, within us, within you. That is why a house or a block of shares valued at $1 million today can fall to a valuation of half a million dollars tomorrow when fear is introduced into the hearts of those involved. The fear kills a portion of the internal values of the participants and that is reflected by the paper money, the `body' of value.
- David Cameron |
|
If you were to stack only one million US$1 bills, it would weigh one ton and be 361 ft high.
- David Cameron |
|
So what does it exist as, the money that we are always talking about? Well, it is one massive illusion. It is all just numbers written on paper and computer storage devices, and assigned to people and entities such as companies and investments... To put it in another way, for every $100 or its equivalent in any other currency, only about $4 exists as printed-paper notes or coins, while the remaining $96 exists as numbers written on papers and computers in banks and businesses and other entities.

From the glow of enthusiasm I let the melody escape. I pursue it. Breathless I catch up with it. It flies again, it disappears, it plunges into a chaos of diverse emotions. I catch it again, I seize it, I embrace it with delight... I multiply it by modulations, and at last I triumph in the first theme. There is the whole symphony.
- Ludwig Van Beethoven |

I cannot exist without you. I am forgetful of everything but seeing you again. My life seems to stop there, I see no further. You have absorb'd me. I have a sensation at the present moment as though I were dissolving. I have been astonished that men could die martyrs for religion... I have shudder'd at it... I shudder no more. I could be martyr'd for my religion: Love is my religion. I could die for that. I could die for you. My creed is love, and you are its only tenet. You have ravish'd me away by a power I cannot resist.
- John Keats |

- Elizabeth Bowen |
|
Oh, how we danced on the night we were wed.. We vowed our true love though a word wasn't said.. The world was in bloom, there were stars in the skies.. Except for the few that were there in your eyes. The night seemed to fade into blossoming dawn The sun shone anew but the dance lingered on.. Could we but relive that sweet moment sublime.. We'd find that our love is unaltered by time.

To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer. To suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy then is to suffer. But suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be unhappy one must love, or love to suffer, or suffer from too much happiness. I hope you're getting this down.

Every hour of the day and night 360,000 strikes have connected with the earth. 8,640,000 jolts in a 24 hour period - every one of them missing you and your beloveds! What an amazing Guidance System we have to protect us from havoc. Think how much ENERGY that is coming into our atmosphere.. Into our soil. Our planet must be a glowing, radiant ball of pure energy. And to think that we are made of this! I breathe in the free-energy all around me. The energy that powers rocket ships and volcanoes. The energy that forms diamonds and babies.. and I consciously flow it emotionally towards my personal visions of total joy and fulfillment.

The indirect way to impress another person is simply to be impressed by him. The more impressed you are -- by who he is or what he has accomplished -- the more impressed he will be by you.
- Brian Tracy |
|
If you want to get someone interested in you, the direct way is to tell him all about yourself. But the indirect way works better. Simply become interested in him. The more interested you become in him, the more interested he will become in you.
- Brian Tracy |
|
If you want to be happy, the direct way is to do things that will make you happy. However, the most enjoyable and lasting form of happiness comes from making someone else happy. It's the Law of Indirect Effort at work again. When you do or say anything that makes someone else happy, you feel happy yourself. You boost your own spirits, your own self-esteem.
- Brian Tracy |
|
How do you get another person to respect you? The best way is to respect him. When you demonstrate respect or admiration for another person, he feels respect and admiration for you. Sociologists call this the Principle of Reciprocity. When you do something nice for someone else, that person will want to reciprocate by doing something nice for you. (Most romances and friendships are based on this principle.)
- Brian Tracy |
|
How do you get a person to believe in you? The answer is to believe in him. By showing that you have confidence in him, he will have confidence in you too. You get what you give. What you send out, you get back.
- Brian Tracy |
|
You are structured in such a way that everything you do to someone else has a reciprocal effect on you. Everything you do to raise the self-esteem of another person raises your own self-esteem -- at the same time and in the same measure. Since self-esteem is the hallmark of a healthy personality, you can actually improve the health of your own personality by taking every opportunity to improve the health of the personalities of others.
- Brian Tracy |
|
What you sow in the lives of others, you reap in your own life.
- Brian Tracy |
|
Everyone you meet is carrying a heavy load. This is especially true in the area of self-esteem and self-confidence. Everyone grows up with the need to be praised and recognized. No matter how successful or how elevated people become, they still need to have their self-images reinforced.
- Brian Tracy |
|
There is a line that says, "I like you because of the way I feel about myself when I am with you." This line contains the key to human relations. The happiest men and women are those who make other people feel good about themselves when they are with them.
- Brian Tracy |
|
When you go through life raising the self-esteem of others, opportunities will open up. And people will help you in ways you cannot now imagine.
- Brian Tracy |
|
Take every opportunity to say and do things that make other people feel more valuable. Each time you express a kindness toward another person, your own self-esteem improves. Your own personality becomes more positive and healthy.
- Brian Tracy |
|
The way to raise the self-esteem of others is simply to make them feel important. Everything you do or say that makes another person feel more important boosts his self-esteem at the same time.
- Brian Tracy |
|
When you practice the Law of Indirect Effort -- going through your day looking for ways to make others feel important -- you will be popular and welcome everywhere. You will be healthier and happier. You will get more real satisfaction from life. You will have lower levels of stress and higher levels of energy. You will experience greater peace of mind. Above all, you will genuinely like and respect yourself.
- Brian Tracy |
