You do not need to apply your will to things, in order to compel them to come to you.

That would simply be trying to coerce God, and would be foolish and useless, as well as irreverent.

You do not have to compel God to give you good things, any more than you have to use your will power to make the sun rise.

You do not have to use your will power to conquer an unfriendly deity, or to make stubborn and rebellious forces do your bidding.

Substance is friendly to you, and is more anxious to give you what you want than you are to get it.

To get rich, you need only to use your will power upon yourself.

When you work with the Will, the only requirement is that you use your will to control YOUR thoughts and YOUR actions.

Control your thoughts to…

1. Keep your mind focused on what you want.

2. Keep your mind from wandering to thoughts of lack and limitation.

3. Keep your mind focused on the desires that will make you more complete.

4. Keep your mind focused on how you can serve others profitably.

Control your Actions to…

1. To do what you should do when you should do it.

2. To make the most of your time doing the things that are the most important at that moment.

3. To do the things that bring you closer to your desires.

Your use of the will, will only bring you to your desire when you use them to control your thoughts and your actions. To use your will to try and control the actions and thoughts of others is not of any real value to you.

TO set about getting rich in a scientific way, you do not try to apply your will power to anything outside of yourself.

You have no right to do so, anyway.

It is wrong to apply your will to other men and women, in order to get them to do what you wish done.

It is as flagrantly wrong to coerce people by mental power as it is to coerce them by physical power. If compelling people by physical force to do things for you reduces them to slavery, compelling them by mental means accomplishes exactly the same thing; the only difference is in methods. If taking things from people by physical force is robbery, them taking things by mental force is robbery also; there is no difference in principle.

You have no right to use your will power upon another person, even “for his own good”; for you do not know what is for his good. The science of getting rich does not require you to apply power or force to any other person, in any way whatsoever. There is not the slightest necessity for doing so; indeed, any attempt to use your will upon others will only tend to defeat your purpose.

In Stephen Covey’s great book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, he spends a whole chapter on what he calls “The Circle of Concern and The Circle of Influence”.

“The Circle of Concern” is everything outside of your control. This is the way people react to you, politics, global warming, and if Iran is going to have a nuclear bomb. These are all things that may be of concern to you but things that you do not have immediate control. Things that you can not currently control.

“The Circle of Influence” is everything that you do have personal control over, which is basically what you do with your time and what you think about. These are the things that you use you will on.

Your press you will on the things and thinking that you should be doing.

In the first couple of paragraphs in the Chapter “How to Use the Will”, Wallace Wattles spends a lot of time exploring the fact that it is not your place to exercise your will on others in order to get what you want. This is a competitive practice not a creative practice.

And he further explores the idea that to exercise your will on others in order to get what you want is no different then enslaving them or stealing from them.

Even if it for their own good.

A word of caution here: In matters of life and death, I may disagree with not imposing my will on some who be in danger or endangering others.

This is a very common occurrence and the question that I get very often is…

“If it is so easy, why aren’t more people successful?”

or

“If this is so easy, why haven’t I achieved what I am looking to accomplish?”

The fact is… practicing the Law of Attraction is not easy. And it does require a lot of discipline to accomplish. But once you master it, it becomes very easy.

Here are some thoughts that might make practicing the Law of Attraction a little easier:

1. You must be able to see things the way you want them in great detail – Many people if asked to describe their ideal way of living will be at a loss of words. Many people are too focused on the problems that they currently have to be able to come up with a picture of the ideal life they would like to live.

This is the first and most important step to putting the Law of Attraction in to action.

The Law of Attraction brings to you what you carry in your dominant thinking. If you are constantly focused on your problems, guess what will continue to come into your reality… more problems!!

But when you focus your mind on your ideal life style and make your actions congruent with that picture, before long you are experiencing your ideal lifestyle.

2. You must be willing to take ACTION! – You can paint any picture in your mind that you want be if you do not start to take action towards its accomplishment, you will never start to move forward.

It was written in the Bible, “If you move towards me, I will move towards you.” This is the essence of the Law of Attraction.

When you make your actions congruent with the picture you hold in your mind, you can start to move mountains.

Think about the process involved with making a movie or TV show, they always start with the script (This is the picture in the mind). And then after getting the cast and crew into place, you hear the director say, “LIGHTS, CAMERA… ACTION!”

The ACTION part is what makes the picture become a reality.

3. You must persist until it becomes a reality for you – If you give yourself a week to lose the 75 pounds you gained over a 10 year period, you will never make it happen.

Every goal or ideal has what is called a gestation period. This is the reasonable period of time to accomplish something.

An idea must be nurtured, it must be held constantly on the screen of your mind and the actions you take must be congruent with the picture.

If you make this happen and stay with it, you will start to activate the Law of Attraction!

I have always liked this analogy, “If you were to plant a seed into the ground, water it daily, making sure to pull the weeds out of the ground around, would you pull the plant out of the ground to see how it is growing?”

The answer is… of course not!

Our job as far as the Law of Attraction goes is to hold the crystal clear picture in our mind, take action towards it, and to guard against actions and thoughts that incongruent with that activity.

And to never give up! If we throw in the towel, we have not only wasted our time but we have to start all over again to make it happen.

Keep up the faith and continue to take action towards your goals and objectives!

But what are you to do while all this is happening. After all you are studying “The Science of Getting Rich” to keep more money not spend more on these items with the prices going up.

Here are some ideas that you may find useful during these trying times:

1. What ever you focus on will expand – If you decide to focus on all the problems we have going on right now with gas and food prices, they will only get worse for you. But if you decide to focus on things that you can do to profitably provide more service to others, your profit will expand making the prices for these items a non issue for you.

2. Start new sources of income – Start a home business. What are you passionate about, that you can help others who may not be at the level you are at. What information can you profitably provide to them that they will find useful? This will certainly help both you and your new customers.

3. Start taking your personal development serious, once and for all – Stop messing around with this stuff and start applying the success principles you have learned on a daily basis and never look back. Once you realize that you are personally responsible for your happiness, everything outside of your circle of influence will become less of an issue for you.

When we focus on and become grateful for the things we do have control over, everything outside of our control will have less power over us.

When we focus on our strengths and apply them in a profitable way in the market place our value increases and again the things outside of our influence have less power over us.

How are you doing with this?

There are influences that we expose ourselves to on a daily basis that shape our thinking. Now our thoughts are either expanding and we are becoming more aware of possibilities or our minds are closing and we limiting our possibilities with prejudice and frustration.

A lot of this has to do with what we are exposing ourselves too.

Below is a list of possible influences:

1. TV – The television. Today’s television is loaded with a lot of garbage. Even shows that you may think are good that you find on the History channel or Discovery are often laced with political views and agendas that are put together to make you feel guilty about the way things are.

Quite frankly, the TV is like a sewer in the house. If you are using your TV in conjunction with your DVD to watch training videos on how to better communicate with others, or training to help you produce a result that garners a profit for you, you are certainly in a small minority that are on the right path.

2. Radio – The radio is also a media that uses divisive programming whose soul purpose is to expose you to commercials in a manner that someone else profits from your consumption. Even some of the talk radio shows both conservative and liberal spend way too much time on the back biting that there is little talk about the possible solutions. And the only real solution is that everyone that has both their physical and mental faculties are responsible for their own happiness regardless of outside circumstances.

3. The Internet – The Internet is also a media that thrives on commercial income. The only difference here is that with the right browser setup you can set your computer to only let in the information that will best suit your needs. You can also join groups that will help you increase your awareness about your desired subject.

But it can also be worse than the television with the garbage that can enter your home through the screen if you enter the bad neighborhoods.

4. Well meaning family, friends and co-workers – Our circle of friends and family are often the most influential force in our lives. Most are very well meaning because they do care about you but many will often base their opinion on what you are doing on their own fears and abilities.

You want to expose yourself to people who have been where you want to be.

You may have to do this in baby steps.

For example, If you desire to become a billionaire and you are barely making $40K a year, don’t shoot to get beside Bill Gates tomorrow and start to pick his brain. Start with someone who is making $100K a year and get around them and listen and observe what they are doing and start doing it. Once you get up to $100K, start to get around people making $200K and repeat the process until you get to the financial situation you desire.

Influences on your thinking can be very subtle and you need to guard it with all your might. You wouldn’t let someone come into your living room and dump a barrel of garbage on your carpet so don’t let anyone do it to your mind.

A bigger part of this is the habitual thinking that has been going on for as long as you have been alive. These are the thoughts that are rolling around in your head without your conscious coming to bear on them. These are the thoughts you need to start to expose and find out if the are serving you or holding your hostage. Go to http://www.habitbustingsystem.com and start to get these habitual thoughts out in the open and start changing the thoughts that are no longer serving you.

What do you think?

The above statement comes from the chapter “How to Use the Will” from The Science of Getting Rich. It is a powerful statement.

If you have been a consistent reader of this blog or my other blog http://www.lifetosuccess.com , you will find a pretty consistent message about working within yourself for your happiness and when you rely on others outside of yourself for your happiness you give away a source of power that should be yours.

When you mentally try to make others do you bidding by using your will to make it happen, it is basically abuse. As the old saying goes, “Those whose opinions are changed against their will are of the same opinion still.”

The only person who you should use your will upon is… YOURSELF.

Use your will to discipline yourself to hold the course on your primary goals and objectives.

Use your will to create. To create value for others. This is where you rewards will come from. When you provide more in use value to others you will start to see the cash value coming your way.

And do not get confused about this… You MUST create the value first before you start to RECEIVE the cash in return.

Remember the use of the will should never be used to try and manipulate others.

Make sure to read the chapter  “How to Use the Will” and start to use your will to create use value for others and the cash value will start to come to you.
