PRINCIPLE 4 YOU DON’T GO TO WEALTH, YOU MAKE WEALTH COME TO YOU Yes you may read about the occasional person who inherits great wealth or wins a bundle at the horse track. But true wealth—the kind that stays with you—comes as a result of a very deliberate process. It doesn’t happen “to” you. You happen to it. You become a wealthy person in your mind; then, you manifest it on the physical plane by becoming the kind of person that attracts prosperity to you. So As I always say – You don’t attract what you want, You attract what you are!! Ask yourself looking into the mirror, “ Am I behaving as a prosperous person?” “Do I feel as a Prosperous Person?” Your Feelings have nothing to do with the current facts of your life. If you are not behaving like a prosperous person now, can you start behaving and shifting your thoughts to a prosperous person?

PRINCIPLE 8 POOR PEOPLE THINK ABOUT MONEY THE MOST. There is a lot of talk among the middle and lower class about how fixated rich people are about money. Many of them believe that the rich only think about money. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, poor people think about money a whole lot more than rich people do. This is a case of what psychologists call “projecting.” Meaning that people project their own fears, prejudices, and motives on others. By their very nature, poor people think about money all the time. I remember when I was broke, it was about all I could think about. If the phone rang, I wondered if it was a bill collector. When I drove somewhere, I worried whether my car would break down and I wouldn’t be able to afford fixing it. I noticed people with nice cars and clothes and I was jealous of them. I wondered what they did to deserve what they had. I was always juggling bills, making payment arrangements and wondering how I would pay the next bill. I was fixated with money, because everything bad that was happening to me seemed to be a result of not having enough money. Now that I have money, I very seldom think about it. Money is one of the lubricants that enhance life and magnify the experiences you have. Once you “get the money thing out of the way,” it allows you to experience the benefits without the anxiety.

PRINCIPLE 10 WISDOM ALWAYS PRECEEDS WEALTH. “In the times of change learners inherit the earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists” If a fool, suddenly got a lot of money and If the fool and his money are soon parted (and they soon will be parted), it stands to reason that a wise man or woman will soon attract their prosperity to them. And they do. If you want great wealth, seek first uncommon wisdom. Wisdom is knowledge in application. A wise person will apply the proper information and grows his wealth, whereas the fool uses his own mind and loses. Einstein said: You cannot solve the problem with the mind-set that created the problem. The mind-set which created the poverty, cannot create the wealth in your life.

PRINCIPLE 12 IDEAS IN ACTION BRING PROSPERITY INTO LIFE. The universe has provided for all of your needs. Prosperity is in the atmosphere all around you. Like a genie waiting for orders, prosperity is standing and waiting for your command, waiting to be called into your life. The mediums that man uses to manifest prosperity from the ethers onto the physical plane are IDEAS. It is really not the number of things you do, but the efficiency of each separate action that counts. Every act is, in itself, either effective or ineffective. Every ineffective act is a failure, and if you spend your life doing ineffective acts, your whole life will be a failure. The more things you do, the worse for you, if all your acts are ineffective ones. On the other hand, every effective act is a success in itself, and if every act of your life is an effective one, your whole life must be a success. The cause of failure is doing too many things in an ineffective manner and not doing enough things in an effective manner. You will see that it is a self-evident proposition that if you do not do any ineffective acts and if you do a sufficient number of effective acts, you will become rich and prosperous. Every act can be made strong and effective by holding your vision while you are doing it and by putting the whole power of your faith and purpose into it. It is at this point that the people who separate mental power from personal action fail. They use the power of mind in one place and at onetime, and they act in another place and at another time. Thus, their acts are not successful in themselves; too many of them are ineffective.

PRINCIPLE 13 YOUR VISION IS UNIVERSE’S COMMAND An artist is not paid for his labour but for his vision. James Whistler This is one of those things that the people without special knowledge or experience have a hard time understanding, and especially believing. But at its ultimate level, EVERYTHING in the universe can be distilled down to an energy vibration. And energy vibrations can certainly be aware of, and respond to, other energy vibrations. So, yes, you really can attract prosperity to you, just as you can manifest a parking space, an elevator coming, or a hotel room available. When you have a compelling dream and a strong belief in that dream, you attract partners, manifest resources, impact markets, and create an entire roller coaster of reactions to your vision.

PRINCIPLE 14 YOUR MISSION DISCOVERS THE PROSPERITY FOR YOU. Once you begin doing the work you are truly meant to do, the universe will reward you with good. This is the way universal laws work, with no exception. When you do your assignment, you attack it with your inspiration, zeal and dedication. And, because you come with that mind-set, you perform at an extraordinary level, attracting extraordinary results. All people are subconsciously searching for their “jihad.” Jihad means acting towards a purpose A cause, movement or vision that is greater than they are. When you are on your assignment, people sense this power and want to be a part of it. You attract powerful people who share their prosperity with you.

PRINCIPLE 15 YOUR PROSPERITY WILL BE THE AVERAGE OF THE PROSPERITY OF YOUR FIVE CLOSEST FRIENDS. This one is so predictable it is amazing to the one who has never experienced it. Take the five people who are closest to you in your life; add up their yearly income from last year and divide it by five, to see what your annual salary will be this year. And it doesn’t just work for money… This is operating within several prosperity laws, and holds true in all areas. Look at the relationships, health, and happiness of those closest to you, and you’ll find that you are right in the middle. Choose your friends carefully!!

PRINCIPLE 17 PROSPERITY CANNOT EXIST WITHOUT MONEY. If you are prosperous, you are: Healthy Happy Rich Two out of three ain’t bad. But it ain’t prosperity either. True prosperity takes all three. Some rich people are sick, bitter and lonely. They are not prosperous. By the grace of God, if you are healthy, spiritually grounded, and have a great marriage, but struggle to pay your credit cards each month – you are certainly not prosperous either. Prosperity is all encompassing. Poverty causes people to lie, cheat, steal and even kill. Theirs is nothing spiritual about poverty.

PRINCIPLE 19 PROSPERITY IS THE RESULT OF SELF IMPROVEMENT. Spend more time in your development that you do in coffee shop. Extra-Ordinary people have large libraries and ordinary people have large televisions. Leaders spend time on education and mediocre people spend time on entertainment. I have a question to ask: If you don’t invest time in you, why should anyone else? Let me share what happens when you invest time on yourself with a metaphor of a seed. When you sow a seed in the soil, it is not that useful, it knows, its small. So it spends its time in the dark, working on itself. Absorbing everything it can and everything needed for its own growth. It grows roots, then a sprout comes out. It’s still doesn’t stop there. It keeps working on itself, it keeps growing and one day it grows into a large big tree. The day is becomes a big tree, it doesn’t need to out and serve, it stands there, with open branches and then humans, birds, animals come to it and take the benefit of the grown up tree. Similarly spend more time in your own development and then the world will be benefitted from you.

PRINCIPLE 25 PROSPERITY IS A PLANNED RESULT Prosperity is the result of deliberate thought and action. There is nothing hit and miss about prosperous living. It is a planned result, just as a bridge or building is a planned result. Without deliberate, prosperous plans, there will be no prosperous results on a consistent, permanent basis. It’s called The law of creative prosperity Perhaps you are thinking that you do not really know what you want; that your desires are not that definite as yet. In that case, simply begin thinking about and even making lists of what you don't want in your life that is there. List the things you wish cleared up and eradicated from your life. To that list declare, This too shall pass or Be thou dissolved.

PRINCIPLE 26 PROSPERITY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH OPPORTUNITIES, CHANCE, OR LUCK. The masses think prosperity comes as a result of special opportunities, random chances, or lucky events. Even education, training, and skills are not as important as your consciousness and beliefs. Because it is your consciousness and beliefs, that drive your education, training and skills. You are not kept poor because opportunity has been taken away from you- because other people have monopolized the wealth and have put a fence around it. You may decide not to engage in certain kinds of business, but there are other channels open to you. At different periods the tide of opportunity moves in different directions, according to the needs of the whole and to the particular stage of social evolution which has been reached. There is an abundance of opportunity for the man or woman who will go with the tide, instead of trying to swim against it. Therefore, any man or woman who learns to do hings in this certain way will infallibly get rich. That the above statement is true is shown by the following facts. Getting Prosperous is not a matter of environment. If it were, all the people in certain areas would become wealthy. The people of one city would all be rich, while those of other towns would all be poor. The inhabitants of one state would roll in wealth, while those of an adjoining state would be in poverty. We frequently see rich and poor living in the same environment and often engaged in the same vocations. When two people are in the same locality and in the same business - and one gets rich while the other remains poor it shows that getting rich is not primarily a matter of environment, luck, chance or opportunities. Some environments may be more favorable than others, but when two people in the same business are in the same neighbourhood and one gets rich while the other fails - it indicates that getting rich is the result of doing things in a certain way. And, furthermore, the ability to do things in this certain way is not due solely to the possession of talent, because many people who have great talent remain poor, while others who have very little talent get rich. If we study people who have gotten rich, we find that they are an average lot in all respects. It is evident that they do not get rich because they possess unique talents and abilities. They get rich because they happen to do things in a certain way. Getting rich is not the result of saving or thrift. Many very penurious people are poor, while free spenders often get rich. Nor is getting rich due to doing things which others fail to do. Two people in the same business often do almost exactly the same things, and one gets rich while the other remains poor or becomes bankrupt. What are you in harmonious vibration with? From all these things, we must come to the conclusion that getting rich is the result of doing things in a certain way.

PRINCIPLE 34 SELFISHNESS IS NECESSARY FOR TRUE PROSPERITY. In fact, selfishness is your moral prerogative. Most people will tell you that your moral imperative is to put the interests of the many before the interests of the one. That you should sacrifice yourself for the "greater good." This idea is very dangerous to your self-esteem, your prosperity and your life. Relinquishing your happiness for the sake of others, known or unknown, verifies, to yourself and others, that you are small and unworthy of even your own attention. It's actually anti-humanity, and it makes you mentally ill. Your survival and your pursuit of happiness must form the foundation of your value system. To make your life, by your own means, toward your own standards, and for your own enjoyment. Anything less than that is harmful to you. And whole. anything harmful to the individual is actually detrimental to society as a whole
