Did you know that it is possible, in essence, to think your way rich? That there is a certain mindset shared by successful, wealthy people, and that understanding and using that mindset can help you bring riches into your life?
It sounds a little farfetched, but in fact these ideas have been around since the early 1900s, when Wallace D. Wattles wrote the book "The Science of Getting Rich," which is still held up today as an example of mind science, or using the power of the mind to manifest what you want in life.
Wattles wrote that success is not about living in a particular place, being from a certain background, or even having luck. Instead all successful people think in a certain way that allows goodness, success and money to come into their lives.
The way he described this right way of thinking was that you must have a "clear and definite idea of what you want." He said "unformed longings and vague desires" would not bring you want you want, instead you must be really clear on exactly what you desire down to the last detail.
It's not enough, he said, to want money or a new house or a new car. You have to want a million dollars, a three-story beach house on the Carolina coast with hardwood floors and stainless steel appliances, or a bright red Hummer with all the bells and whistles.
He explained that using the science of getting rich or mental science to attract anything into your life is like sending a telegram (today we might say like sending an e-mail): you don't just send all the letters of the alphabet and hope that the recipient can decipher your message.
In the same way you can't just ask for wealth, comfort or happiness from the great telegram receiver and expect to get exactly what you want. Instead you must give a detailed account of what it is you desire, whether that's by forming a mental picture, writing down what you want or even collecting pictures of the ideal home, car, relationship, or whatever else it is that you are looking for.
Having a clear vision, though, is only part of the battle. You also have to have unwavering faith that the thing you desire most can be yours. Wattles wrote that you should be able to believe that the thing you want is already yours. You should be able to imagine yourself living in the house, driving the car or spending the money, vividly seeing that future life that you are building with the power of your intention.
It takes some practice to have both that clear vision and unshakable faith, but once you learn the secrets you can literally have anything you want just by visualizing, asking and believing.
