On Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles
You can make the most of yourself only by getting rich; so it is right and praise-
worthy that you should give your first and best thought to the work of acquiring
wealth.
Remember, however, that the desire of Substance is for all, and its movements
must be for more life to all; it cannot be made to work for less life to any, because
it is equally in all, seeking riches and life.
Intelligent Substance will make things for you, but it will not take things away
from some one else and give them to you.
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 take anything away from any one.
You do not have to drive sharp bargains.
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.
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.
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.
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.
KNOW that there are countless millions of dollars’ worth of gold in the moun-
tains 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.
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.
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.
Nobody, by cornering the visible supply, can prevent you from getting what is yours.
