There is more abundance in the universe than most of us can fathom. If we cannot understand abundance does it make sense that we see lack? Most people grow up hearing about lack from those around them, focusing on lack, how can they help but see lack, how can they help but focus on lack?

In The Science of Getting Rich, Wattles tells us:

1. an unseen substance permeates the universe.
2. there is more of this substance than we can imagine.
3. desire is God seeking expression in your life – set a goal.
4. holding a picture of your objective in this substance will bring it into your life.

Begin to see abundance all around. Begin to see abundance in your life and be grateful. No need to concern yourself with or compare with others, just look at your own life and be grateful. Read this from chapter 13 of The Science of Getting Rich:

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.

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.

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.

If you do face a difficulty check out this from chapter 16:

Give no anxious thought to possible disasters, obstacles, panics, or unfavorable combinations of circumstances; it is time enough to meet such things when they present themselves before you in the immediate present, and you will find that every difficulty carries with it the wherewithal for its overcoming.

Faith and gratitude are important keys in The Science of Getting Rich and in putting The Law of Attraction into action. When God gives you a desire – give thanks in that moment. Don’t imagine all the issues involved in attaining it – give thanks – the plan for attainment will follow.

Practice these things and soon you will find yourself overtaken by abundance.

To help cement these principals in your life listen to at least a chapter every day from The Science of Getting Rich. Most are about 5 minutes long, a few are ten. Better yet allow it to play while you do something else. Our tool bar makes it convenient to do this. Pick any chapter and just let it play.
