Why are you here, what is the force that brought you to life? There is a great poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox, perhaps you know it:

Waste no tears

Waste no tears upon the blotted record of lost years,
But turn the leaf, and smile, oh smile, to see
The fair white pages that remain for thee.
“Prate not of thy repentance. But believe
The spark divine dwells in thee: let it grow.
That which the upreaching spirit can achieve
The grand and all creative forces know;
They will assist and strengthen as the light
Lifts up the acorn to the oak-tree’s height.
Thou hast but to resolve, and lo! God’s whole
Great universe shall fortify thy soul.
-Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

The world may appear shaky right now, do you have your eyes fixed on your future, have you made that vision so compelling that it will lift you from flames and into that future? Do you have some high powered juice to get you going? That poem by Wilcox is something to meditate on, to wrap your mind around and contemplate. Don’t look at the trouble that may be around you, look to where you are going. You know where that is don’t you? You’ve thought of your business goals, your home, your mate, your accomplishments, not where you are now but these things, the way you want them to be, in one-year, five-years, ten-years. Write those things down, write what you want and write, as Dr. Robert Schuller says, “as if you could not fail.” Don’t ask yourself, “Oh God, what am I going to do now.” Ask, “What would I do if I knew I couldn’t fail.”

Dr. Michael Beckwith puts it like this: “don’t tell God how big your problems are, tell your problems how big your God is.” Don’t worry about God though – whatever it is you believe about Him, He believes in you and He has hope and a future for you.

The All Creative Forces

Who put the “divine spark within you? What are the “grand and all creative forces?” Look at where you are going in life and not circumstance. Look at that bright future, envision it, make it real, go there often and go there not concerned with how it will happen, those plans will come, but with how it feels to be there and know that it is yours. This vision my friends is hi-test fuel that you can light up with your “divine spark.”

That poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox says a lot – the “grand and all creative forces” that “lifts the acorn up to the oak-tree’s height” dwell in your soul as well. The acorn doesn’t have the luxury of thinking, it is compelled to become an oak-tree. But you have free will in your mind and you must guide your thoughts to that vision ahead and that divine spark combined with the fuel of your vision will rocket you forward into your blessed future. Believe it, don’t put the brakes on because of what you may think of circumstance around you, rather gather the fuel in your imagination and let it be set off by that divine spark.

Can You Think Truth?

Wallace Wattles in Chapter 4, “The First Principals of the Science of Getting Rich,” talks about looking at things around you but always thinking truth. The truth is that you can create what you want to create but you must look on the truth of your vision regardless of what circumstance may appear to be true. Thought held in faith will take substance. You can listen to “The First Principal” here:

Listening to or reading this chapter over and over will help you build the faith and resolve in your heart that you need to put it’s principals into action. This my friends will Unleash The Law of Attraction.

“Oh, God,” said Leonardo da Vinci, “you sell us everything for the price of an effort.” That effort is holding the vision before God in the face of obstacles. As Wattles wrote in “The Science of Getting Rich”. “Hold the vision in the thinking substance” he said. Make the decision to do this now. You are one quality decision away from any thing that you could ever want. The decision is to see your future and be powered forward by it. If that future is what you are looking for then those “grand and all creative forces” will lift you up higher than even you might think or imagine.

On this blog in 2009 you will continue to find information about “The Science of Getting Rich,” the law of attraction, and related books and materials. On January 5th we’ll start our series on “As A Man Thinketh,” by James Allen and introduce the new – free – audio book of it. We will bring ideas and materials aimed at getting your thinking right, helping to get you, as Wattles says, thinking in “the certain way.” That certain way is a way that will UNLEASH THE LAW OF ATTRACTION in your life.

Here’s to a blessed and mystical 2009.
