I didn’t really elaborate how to define your Life Vision in the earlier post on Creating A Powerful Life Plan. It was already such a long post with so many different concepts that I felt it was better to break it down into smaller, more digestible sections.

If you’re having trouble making your Life Vision as clear as you want it to be, cheer up. I’m going to share how to do it in a systematic, step-by-step manner in this post.

What Is A Life Vision?

A Life Vision is the mental creation of your life in your mind where you engage all your senses even before it becomes a physical, tangible reality around you. The mental creation is similar to a 3 dimensional movie that is filled with:

• Movement
• Emotions
• People
• Places and
• Color

where it involves your senses of Sight, Sound, Taste, Touch and Smell.

A vision is something that you have every intention, purpose and desire to make real in your life. If you don’t, then it’s not a vision. It’s a day dream.

So how clear should your Vision be?

It has to be clear enough that if I plucked your vision out of your head right now and manifested it into reality, all that is needed to make the picture complete is for you to step into it.

However, such clarity of your vision doesn’t usually come immediately. It’s better to think of it as a continual process where you are steadily refining and recreating it as you move along in your life.

The clearer and more engaged you are in your Life Vision, the simpler and faster it is to take the necessary action to create it into reality around you.

How To Define Your Vision

Just imagine this, a raw diamond that comes out of the mines isn’t yet that beautiful piece of refractive stone that glitters under the light. It’s rough, uncut, and looks like some raw chunk of broken glass. It has to be measured, cut and polished until it catches the light just right so that it sparkles with brilliance.

It’s the same with your Vision. The first time you come up with a Vision, it’s going to be rough, uncut and raw. You need to cut it down to a certain size, whittle away the parts you don’t want, keep the parts that you do want and polish it till it shines.

The tools that you can use to further define your vision are questions using the following six words. They are just a guide to help clarify your mental picture. The six words are:

1. Who
2. What
3. When
4. Where
5. Why
6. How

The way to define your vision is through the process of asking questions in the RIGHT way. The answers to your questions have to be in the positive, not the negative. What do I mean?

Positive: I want to be financially free.
Negative: I don’t want to be poor.

Let’s use an example, and I’ll bring you through it step-by-step so you have a better understanding.

Example of a Raw Vision: I Want A Life of Financial Freedom

Now that’s a goal that I think almost everyone can resonate with. But remember, what I’m sharing is the process which you can then apply to your own vision to make it clearer.

There are two categories of questions, each with a specific purpose. They are:

1. Defining Questions ~ To Create Specifics and Details
2. Feeling Questions ~ To Check if You Really Want It

Using Defining Questions

Defining questions are questions that you use to clarify your mental picture. You use the six tools to create specific details in your mental picture. Questions like:

• If I were financially free, what would my life be like?
• What does being financially free mean to me?
• If I were already financially free, what would I be doing now?
• What clothes would I be wearing?
• What house would I be staying in?
• What car would I be driving?
• What would I be doing in my life of financial freedom?
• How would I spend my free time?
• Would I be working?
  (OK, so technically it’s not one of the six. But it does help clarify your life vision.)
• If yes, what would I be working as? If not, what would I be doing?
• Where do I go for my vacations?
• Who would I be socializing with?
• What time (when) do I wake up in the morning?
• What time (when) do I sleep at night?
• And other similar type questions

The use of such questions is to create detail and cut away the fluff in your mind, until you are left with a clear, definite picture of what you want for your life.

Using Feeling Questions

As you sharpen your vision and focus in on your mental picture, check your feelings. Your feelings will help guide you to check if the picture is really what you want. If it isn’t, then continue tweaking and refining your picture until you feel that it’s just right for you.

• How do you feel in the picture that you created?
• Do you like it?
• If it’s not exactly right, what would you change in order for it to feel right?

It’s a simple, two-step process of:

1. Creating what you want through defining questions, and then
2. Checking your feelings to see if that’s what you really want.

All of us will come up with something different, even if it’s only slightly. That’s because all of us have a different definition of the same basic idea, and all of us like different material things. Some want a Ferarri, others want a BMW, and others still want to drive a Mercedes Sports. No one wants exactly the same thing, so if your life of financial freedom is different from someone else, it’s normal and to be expected.

What Your Mind Can Conceive, You Can Achieve.

As you refine your Life Vision, you might want to test out multiple scenarios in your mind and imagine as if you were already living them. You have the power of imagination, so use it. The more you practice your ability to create mental pictures, the more you practice your ability to create out of thoughts.

If you’re having difficulty, and don’t really have a mental scenario that you really, really like yet, relax. It just means that your exposure isn’t wide enough to find what resonates with you.

The simple solution would be to go to the nearest bookstore, and check out vacation magazines, car magazines, houses, etc. Find pictures of a possible house, or location that you might want to enjoy.

If you want to be doing specific work, go find out how people who are already doing your type of work live. You’re basically looking for existing materials to help you in defining your vision.

You can just take what you find wholesale, or tweak them until you feel a certain resonance with it. You should start to feel good as you imagine yourself living it, almost as if you’ve finally reached your real home.

Tools You Can Use To Remind Yourself

Once you have created that picture, you can use certain tools to help you remember it. These are just tools, and if you feel good about using them, then use them. If you don’t, you don’t have to. There is no hard and fast rule here.

1. Vision Statement

A vision statement is a short paragraph that describes your mental picture. When you read it, it triggers off the picture in your head and its associated feelings. You can write it on a card, in your diary, planner, PDA or whatever it is that you use. You then carry this around with you during the day, and continue working on refining it during your spare time.

2. Vision Board

A Vision Board is a notice board where you pin up pictures of the things that you want in your life. They serve as visual reminders in pictorial form to further reinforce that picture in your mind.

It just has to be somewhere in your working area, or somewhere in your house where you’ll at least see it once a day. Over time, your conscious awareness of it will diminish, but your sub-conscious will be aware of it each time you are near it, triggering off that mental picture and associated feelings below the surface of your consciousness.

What to Expect

You’ll find that over time, you will start tweaking that mental picture as you have new experiences. The core theme and vision will remain the same, but some of the details will change as you move along your journey in life. Your vision is something that helps give your life direction, so just as life changes, your vision will change along with you.

During your spare time, continue to contemplate and develop your mental picture of your life as you want it to be. As your life vision starts to become clearer, you’ll find that you can do certain things that make part of your vision real. Once you know what actions you can take, take them if they bring you closer to the realization of your vision.

The closer you move towards your vision, the clearer it becomes. The clearer it becomes, the simpler it is to take congruent action to make your vision real. As you focus on your vision, you’ll start to notice opportunity, people and events around you almost conspiring to help you create your vision into reality.

They may have always been there, or they may just entered into your field of awareness as if attracted to you. Whatever it is you choose to believe, when you see the opportunity and you feel that it’s the right thing to do, take action.

Remember, your life vision is the end result of what you want your life to be. Don’t concern yourself with the “How”. Not yet. When you know what you want, then it makes sense to find out the how.

But if you don’t know what you want, knowing all the different “How’s” in the world won’t make a darn difference to your life. You’ll have no idea of what to use them for. So concentrate of clarifying what it is that you want first, create that mental picture in your mind, and then once you know what you want, start looking around for the “How“.

Being grateful in your life doesn’t mean you are to be grateful for the bad things that happen.

How can anyone be grateful that something bad happened and their life has become worse?

The right understanding of being grateful is required to activate that power for creating possibility and abundance in your life.

There is a Living Consciousness and Power that is IN all things and that IS all things.

When you know how to be grateful, you are drawn nearer to the Creative Power and the Creative Power draws nearer to you. And as you move closer to the Universal Source, you are bathed in the power of Creation and Abundance that is Life. And the more you are immersed in this creative energy, the more you begin to attract the good things that you desire into your life.

How Does Being Grateful Bring You Closer To Creative Living Power?

When you give a precious gift to someone you care about and they accept it with true gratitude and joy, how do you feel? Do you want to take it back and give them something bad? Or instead, you feel a sense of joy which makes you want to give even more and better gifts?

The joy and gratitude in their eyes makes you feel good and lights that inner spark within you with a corresponding joy and happiness that they appreciate your gift. And the more they are appreciative of what you have given, the more you want to give to them even better things.

Gratitude connects you to the Living Divine Power that is the Source of Everything.

But when you give a gift and the person responds by looking down on it, chucking it carelessly away into a corner and even curses you for it, what do you feel? Would you want to joyfully give another gift to that person?

That emotion of disdain, disrespect and anger stops you from wanting to give them even better things.

In the same way, when an experience or lesson of life is sent your way to prepare you for the next step, and you disdain it, spit on it in anger, or complain about it, you have missed the pearl inside the oyster. You have thrown away the gift of life and the treasure within that will develop you and help you grow.

You would have stopped the flow of even better things into your life.

When the Student is Ready, the Teacher will Appear.

Nothing in life happens by chance. There is a gift in every moment, every experience and every person. When we are ready, we see the lesson. When we aren’t, we miss it. The lessons and gifts are always there. It is us who are not ready, or willing, to see them.

When you are grateful to Life for everything that you have, it draws Creative Consciousness nearer to you and opens the channel for increasing abundance and blessings into your life.

Being Grateful For Something Bad

The question is, how do you be grateful for something bad happening in your life?

You don’t.

You’re not grateful that something bad happened in your life. You are grateful for the good that comes out of the bad.

• You can be grateful for something that has made you stronger.
• You can be grateful for something that you have learnt about yourself that you didn’t know before, that puts you in a better position to create something good in your life.
• You can be grateful how whatever “bad” that happened opened your eyes to see your current situation isn’t what you want. It has awakened you to realize what you really do want.
• You can be grateful for being “awakened” and born into the realization that you have always had everything you needed to create a better life for yourself.

How Does Gratitude Create Possibility and Happiness?

When you are grateful, you are focused on the good things in your life. You see the good things in your life that have always been there.

As you focus on the good things in your life, your mind is infused with good pictures and your soul is bathed in good feelings. And as within, so it is on the outside. You will begin to create better things in your life, and you will begin to attract better experiences into your life because you have created those very ideas in your mind.

When you are grateful:

• You focus on the positive and good things, which create mental images of good things, which create the energy and attraction for good things into your life.
• You feel good, and vibrate with positive energy.
• Your mind is cleared of doubt, confusion, worry, anger and all the negative emotions that cloud your thinking and your judgment. You clear up your mind, and in turn, clear up your inner being.

As you become grateful for the people, abilities and things that you already have, you start to realize the possibilities available to you if you tap into these existing resources. And you always have the resources you need at this point in time.

You have the resources to move forward to the next step, and when you reach the next step, you will have the resources to take the next step, and the next and so on. In fact most of the time, the greatest resources that you have are within you.

They can be your talents, your courage to break out into a new direction, or your ability to pick yourself up when you are down. It can also be your simple ability to recognize what you already have around you that can help you achieve what it is that you want.

When you are grateful, you focus on the good things in your life, which starts the cycle and creation of better things. It only requires you to make that choice to see the other side of the coin to begin the flow of abundance and joy.

When you are Grateful, Who are you grateful to?

When you are grateful, you are grateful to Life that it has brought you lessons and gifts for your growth. And because Life brings you gifts through people and experiences, you become grateful for the flow of people and experiences in your life.

And as you grow in your awareness of the flow of life around you, you start being grateful that you have the inner resources to work with what you have to create what you want. And as you become kinder to yourself, and aligned with your true nature of creative power, you become more grateful that Life has given you everything you’ll ever need to grow to the next stage.

And when you realize this, you begin to realize that truly all things work for your growth, and you start to see how everything in your life is brought to you so that you can move into the abundance that is your natural birthright.

What Are You Grateful For?

You are grateful for two things:

1. The gifts and experiences that you already have in your life. (Your Present Life)
2. The gifts and experiences that you will receive in your life. (Your Desired Life)

Exercise To Practice Gratitude:

Look around you and at your life. What are the things that would make your life worse if you didn’t have them?

Be grateful for them.

What are the things that can make your life better because you have them?

Be grateful for them.

Write them down into your “Gratitude List“. You can start by writing at the top of the page “I am so happy and grateful that I…(have, am or do)…”

For example:

I am so happy and grateful that:

1. I have the ability to write and share what I have learnt with others.
2. I have a computer to create this blog with.
3. I have the ability to walk around.
4. I have food to eat when I am hungry.
5. I have a place to rest comfortably and securely at night.
6. I have the ability to learn new knowledge and skills.
7. I have written an article about the power of gratitude so that if you benefit from it, you might recommend it to others to read.
8. I have ….
9. I am able to ….
10. And so on

The more you write this list, the more you realize that there are truly many things in your life that you can be grateful for.

Both abundance and lack exist simultaneously in your life. Good and bad are simply two sides of the same coin of your life. You have the ability to be thankful and grateful, and you have the ability to be angry and bitter. The choice has always been yours, to create more abundance and joy into your life, or the opposite.

When You Are Grateful

When you are grateful and create a place of joy and gratitude within, you are already experiencing what it means to be happy. It is something that people would pay handsomely for, but the truth is no matter how much money they can pay, they cannot buy true joy, because it exists within.

And as you practice gratitude, not only will you be happy, but you start to attract the good things that you desire in your life towards you.

“When you know that what you want comes from the invisible supply, and you focus on creating from abundance, material things will come to you”

Gratitude creates possibility because when you are focused on what is already good and what you want in your life, you are constantly creating the mental pictures of what is good and what you want. And as you focus on the resources you already have, you start seeing the possibilities of how what you already have can bring you closer to what you want.

And the more constant and steady your mental picture is, the more sure and steady you will create what it is that you want. It is impossible to focus on the negative when you are grateful, and it is what keeps you connected to the Creative Source of Thought that is Abundance.

One of the best ways to create focus and direction in your life is by creating your life plan. A life plan is simply a blue-print for what you want in your life, taking the big picture of your complete life and breaking it down into simpler, easy to accomplish goals.

While it can be as big and complex as you want it to be, I personally find the simpler your life plan is, the easier and faster it is to realize it. So a big tip is while you are creating the blueprint for your life, keep it as simple and defined as possible.

Two elements of your life plan will be:

1. Your Vision for your life
2. Your Goals for fulfilling your vision

Sometimes, it’s difficult to understand the fundamental difference that separates a vision and a goal. But here’s a way of defining visions and goals that make the most sense and flows with the creative process of life.

The Importance of Having A Vision and Goals

Before we embark on the journey to create our life vision and goals, it helps to understand why we should even have them in the first place.

Why are Visions and Goals so important in the creative process?

Having a Life Vision is important because:

• It provides the template, the mold of what we are going to create and manifest into physical, tangible reality.
• It is in line with the creative process that all things are first created in the invisible before they are manifested into the visible.
• It creates the experience of having the life you want even before you have it.

Having goals are important because:

• They give us stepping stones, milestones in our journey towards the creation of our life vision.
• They give us specific targets to aim for and keep us on track.
• Each goal accomplished is another brick in the creation of your mental image of your life, and when all the bricks are in place, you have effectively created your Life Vision and manifested it into reality.
• Goals give us something to organize our work activities around, a focus for our attention, energy and skills. They serve as a center for our creative energies and power to be expressed.

Diffused light gives us the ability to see objects and people around us. But when light is concentrated into a focused laser beam, it can cut through steel like a hot knife through butter.

Clear, Specific Focus is Like a Hot Knife Cutting through Butter

Having clear, specific goals aligned with your life vision create that same energy and focus to cut through the obstacles in your life. It accelerates your speed at which you manifest what you want into physical reality.

Defining Your Vision and Goals

Understanding the difference between your Vision and your goals will help simplify the process of creating your life plan. In short, your Vision is the big picture of what you imagine your ultimate life to be and goals are specific targets along the way to the creation of your life Vision.

I’ll explain them in further detail.

What is a Vision?

Imagination is the Preview of Life’s Coming Attractions ~ Albert Einstein

A vision is the mental creation of your life in your mind where you engage all your senses even before it becomes a physical, tangible reality around you. The mental creation is similar to a 3 dimensional movie that is filled with:

• Movement
• Emotions
• People
• Places and
• Color

where it involves our senses of Sight, Sound, Taste, Touch and Smell. The more senses you can engage in your vision, the more real it becomes to you, the faster the speed at which you realize it.

You can use physical objects and things to trigger off those senses, like pictures of the house or car you want. You can use music to trigger off emotions you want to experience, like joy, excitement or peace.

Objects and external stimuli can help make your mental experience more real and vivid.

A vision is something that you have every intention, purpose and desire to make real in your life. If you don’t, then it’s not a vision. It’s a day dream.

What is a Goal?

A goal is a stepping stone to the fulfillment of your vision. It can be a specific end result that forms part of your big picture, or it can be a milestone on the way to the specific end result. Your goals are the how you are going to realize your vision.

For example, your vision to live a financially free life could be broken down into the following specifics:

1. You have an income of $10,000 a month
2. You maintain your expenses below $5,000 a month
3. You are investing 20% of your income on a regular basis
4. Your targeted retirement fund is $4.5 million dollars in 25 years time
5. You have set up an automatic repayment plan to fully pay off each and every debt that you owe within the next 5-10 years
6. You fully own your own home
7. You drive a reliable, dependable and quality car
8. You take 2 holidays a year
9. You have 5 streams of multiple income that generate $5,000 and more a month on a continuous and growing basis
10. And any other goals you want.

Putting Your Life Plan Together

One way to make sure you’ve covered the major areas in your life is by defining the categories in which you can create specific goals. Having a full and complete life involves these basic 6 areas:

1. Financial
2. Relational
3. Intellectual
4. Spiritual
5. Physical
6. Work / Purpose

I’ve included generic, positive-oriented examples of how a life vision might look like.

A life of financial freedom could mean that you own all your assets, have more than enough money coming in each month with surplus cash left over. You have a roof over your head, a car to drive, money for food on the table and for your children’s education. You can buy anything that is required for a healthy, balanced lifestyle for your loved ones and you.

A life of relational joy could mean that you have emotionally rich relationships with your family and friends. You enjoy good relationships with the important people in your life.

A life of intellectual satisfaction and growth could mean that you continue to expand your knowledge bank of ideas, concepts and practical steps to improving yourself and developing your skill sets. You continue to learn and grow on a continual and regular basis to become better each day.

A life of spirituality could mean that you feel a sense of connection to the divine energy and life that is in everything and everyone. You enjoy a sense of inner peace, radiant joy and a contentment with who you are and where you are right now in your life. At the same time, you know and understand that you will continue to evolve and grow as a soul and as a person through your journey in life.

A life of physical completeness would mean that you are strong, healthy and fit. You have a strong body that allows you to engage in sports and activities that you want. At the same time, you are healthy which goes beyond having just a strong body, but one that will serve you well for your lifetime.

A life of purpose would mean the expression of your talents in and abilities in the area of your passion. You use the knowledge, skills and processes that you’ve learnt and developed to create a better life for your loved ones and you.

All these 6 elements combine with each other to create the vision of your life. The clearer and more vivid you are able to see the vision of your life in your mind, the more powerful it is.

It can be so real until it feels like you are already living it! Which, of course, is the whole idea.

Creating your Life Plan is a process of defining the specific elements that go together to build the vision you have in your mind. As you complete each goal, you build another brick into the foundation of the life that you have created in your mind.

Exercises for Creating Your Life Plan

Your life plan will consist of the two elements of your vision and your goals. To help you develop your life plan, you can use the following exercises.

Exercise to Create your Vision:

Imagine what your Perfect life is like in each of the specific areas:

1. Financial
2. Relational
3. Physical
4. Intellectual
5. Spiritual
6. Work / Purpose

It’s not the words that the universe recognizes. It’s the pictures and emotional energy you create in your mind.

Write it down on paper, in point form, using words that you can relate to and understand. More important than the process of writing is the:

• Clarity of your mental 3D “movie” and
• Emotions that you feel

when you create your vision.

Create something that you really want to have, with the full intention and purpose of actually having it. Otherwise, you’re just a day-dreamer who will only ever enjoy your life vision in your mind. So whatever you create, it must come with the intention and purpose to actually have it.

If you feel that you can’t have what you really want:
There are two reasons why you feel you can’t have what you really want:

1. You don’t really want it
2. You don’t think it’s possible for you

If it’s something that you don’t really want, then don’t waste energy “wanting” it just because people tell you that you should “want” it.

Find out what you really want through your process of journaling and self-understanding. Then when you know what you really want, the energy, desire and motivation will automatically flow for you.

If it’s something that you really want, but you feel that it’s not possible for you. This is very likely due to internal beliefs and conclusions about past experiences in your life. The unconscious beliefs that you have are the invisible barriers in your mind that hinder your action, cause you doubt and make you unsure of yourself.

It simply means that you have some work to do on your internal environment to align it with the true reality of life, nature and abundance. This is where it might help you to keep a journal to understand what’s blocking you, and how you can re-create that belief into something constructive and allows the possibility of what you want to happen in your life.

But for now, you can start the process by asking yourself:

“If I could have anything, be anything, or do anything, I would…(fill in the blanks)…”

Exercise to Create Your Goals:

Once you have your life vision, determine which is the most important aspect of your life vision that you want to work on first. For illustration, the generic example I used was:

“A life of financial freedom could mean that you own all your assets, have more than enough money coming in each month with surplus cash left over. You have a roof over your head, a car to drive, money for food on the table and for your children’s education. You can buy anything that is required for a healthy, balanced lifestyle for your loved ones and you.”

Break it down into specifics like:

1. Exactly how much income a month
2. What kind of house
3. Car
4. Holidays
5. Bank Accounts
6. Investment Accounts
7. Investment Properties, businesses, etc

Deadlines serve as a tool to create the energy and motivation to focus right here right now to take action.

These specifics become your goals. When you’ve accomplished them, you know that you’ve accomplished them. There aren’t any ambiguities or “maybe’s” associated to goals. They are clear, definite and specific. If it helps, you can set dates by which you want these goals to be accomplished.

It’s more important to focus on goals that have the most impact on the creation of your vision. Initially, you might want to write down as many goals as you can think of, but once you have cleared your mind on paper, you have to be brutally ruthless to trash goals which aren’t what you really want.

Go for the cake first, not the icing. Once you have the cake, you have something to put the icing on.

The simpler and shorter the list, the easier it will be to focus your energy and actions.

If the goal is something you want, but it’s not an important or crucial goal, then have a specific place where you can stash that goal away for a time when you can look at it. It’ll help clear your mind when you know you have written it down in a place where you can find it.

Once you’ve completed your exercise of mental creation and writing it down on paper, the next step would be to prioritize your goals in terms of importance and urgency so you can take action to make them real.

In the pursuit of having more in life, do you really want wealth, or do you really want more riches? What’s the difference, you ask?

How we normally define wealth or riches is by the amount of tangible, material possessions that we have.

For example, by the amount of cash you have in your bank account, the kind of car you drive, the type of house you live in, even the neighborhood of your residence. Sometimes, you can even be defined by which school your children go to.

By definition of the majority, someone with all these material possessions would be defined as rich and wealthy. But are they really the one and the same?

Total Wealth

It may merely be semantics, but understanding the essence is of greater importance than the words used. Being rich is defined by your outer possessions. Yet being wealthy includes not only your material possessions, but your complete state of being.

Being wealthy includes not only the material possessions of house, car, money and others, but also by the state of your physical health, the relationships you have in your life, the emotional, mental and inner states of your being. In other words, wealth refers to having everything in your life that makes you happy, thankful, and complete.

There are people who are rich, but have spent their youth and health in pursuit of money. There are people who have great relationships, but not the money to make the lives of their loved ones better. There are people who are healthy, but are constantly in emotional and mental turmoil by the state of their finances and relationships.

True wealth includes all these things:

• Physical, tangible wealth in the form of money and material possessions
• Food for the mind, to develop and nurture your intellect and consciousness
• Love Both For and From others for the nourishment of the soul

Yet, in order to have all these things, the one defining element required in our society is having the use of money and things.

Without money, you cannot pay for your house and food on the table. Without money, you cannot have access to items, places and events that expand your mind and consciousness. Without money, you are not in the position to express your love and gratitude in practical terms to the people you love.

Living A Complete Life

In essence, a truly complete and wealthy life in today’s society would include all the elements of:

• Life for the Body
• Life for the Soul
• Life for the Intellect

And this is where having the knowledge and ability to acquire wealth is so important. Without it, we cannot really live a complete and growing life.

If you seek to pursue the path of inner growth and peace, the physical body still requires food and shelter. If you seek the path of dedicating your life for the good of others, with the use of money and things you can amplify your power to do greater good. And if you seek to develop your intellect, of course, you still need to pay for food on the table and the roof over your head.

Unless you intend to live in the wild, sleep under the stars, and survive in nature without access to civilization, you would require the use of money.

Before I share my experiences and review The Science of Getting Rich Seminar by Bob Proctor and Jack Canfield, a short description and introduction about the course for those who know nothing about it.

What is The Science of Getting Rich Seminar?

The Science of Getting Rich Seminar is a course created by Bob Proctor and Jack Canfield about how you can get rich. It’s based on the original book written by Wallace D. Wattles, but updated to modern day language and enhanced with relevant and powerful knowledge on how to acquire wealth.

Rich here specifically means money, cash, material items and possessions, and not emotional happiness, peace of mind, fulfillment, etc. However, while the course shares the science and steps to allow one to become rich in physical terms, it is more than just about the acquisition of material wealth.

The Purpose for Acquiring Wealth is for the Development of your Mind, Body and Soul

The purpose of obtaining wealth is to have the freedom to use materials and things to further pursue and develop one’s self. With the ability to acquire a level of wealth (according to each individual’s definition and level of riches) one may live life to the fullest with development to the mind, body and soul.

Creating Wealth versus Competing for Wealth

The base on which the Science of Getting Rich is built on is the acquisition of wealth through creative means. And through creative means, I refer to the process of acquiring wealth by giving more in use value than in cash value received, and in working from an understanding there is truly abundance available to all.

Getting Rich on the Creative Plane results in more wealth, abundance and life for everyone involved

By applying the principles in the Science of Getting Rich, more life and abundance is created as a result of the transaction that take place.

An example quoted would be as follows:

Suppose a man has a painting that is worth thousands of dollars in any civilized society, and through “salesmanship”, induces an Eskimo to give a bundle of furs worth $500 for it. In this instance, the man has wronged the Eskimo, because the Eskimo has no use for the painting. It has no use value and does not add to his life.

But suppose instead, the man gives a gun worth $50 (as opposed to the painting worth thousands) to the Eskimo in exchange for the bundle of furs worth $500, then it is a good bargain. The Eskimo has use for the gun; it will get him more furs and more food; it will add to his life in every way; it will make him rich.

More life has been created for both the parties involved.

A Time Proven “Secret” to Acquiring Wealth

The Science of Getting Rich is about how you can get rich when you apply the proven method used by wealthy and successful people over the centuries.

When you realize the following, you’ll understand the importance of grasping and applying the principles in the Science of Getting Rich Seminar in order to have a more abundant life.

• Doing things in a certain way. Wealth doesn’t come because one is intelligent, attractive or hardworking. Wealth comes to a person because he or she does things in a certain way.
• Location isn’t a primary determinant for success. Two people operating the same business in the same locality can have different business results. One will prosper and grow, the other will flop and go out of business.
• Intelligence isn’t a determinant for riches. Intelligent people have gotten rich, and stupid people have also gotten rich, proving that intelligence isn’t a determinant for getting rich.
• Talent is not a requirement. Talented people have gotten rich, and people with no observable talents have also gotten rich. This also proves that natural talent and ability is not a determinant for getting rich.

I’m sure you must have heard of talented people who have not become rich. You probably don’t have to go very far to see how true this is. So there must be something more, because getting rich is not the result of having natural talent.

So what is this crucial factor?

The crucial factor for one getting rich is the result of doing things in a certain way. And that’s what the course is about, teaching you how to do things in a certain way to obtain riches. And in the process of getting rich, one is given more resources to develop oneself in mind, body and soul to gain more out of life.

In a nutshell, that’s what The Science of Getting Rich Seminar is about. Teaching you how you can become Rich regardless of the lack of education, talent or opportunity when you learn how to do things in a certain way that has proven to work every single time when used correctly.

My Review of The Science of Getting Rich Seminar

Although I’ve read the original “Science of Getting Rich” book by Wallace D. Wattles, the material provided by the Science of Getting Rich program has been updated, and includes new material NOT in the original that has added to the value of the course.

When I look back, one of the factors that helped cause a major change in my thinking was the Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles. While I’ve been exposed to such principles and ideas before, The Science of Getting Rich pulls together various concepts and steps on how to create wealth and abundance in life.

The course provides solid and robust material on how to get rich based on the Laws of the Nature, which is crucial in acquiring wealth and enjoying the process at the same time.

It’s easy to say “I’m rich”, but it’s much harder to believe and have the faith that it’s possible for you to be rich. And that’s where the power of the Science of Getting Rich course comes in. It provides the principles and examples to illustrate why getting rich is possible for anyone who does things in a certain way.

With the information and knowledge contained in the course, it causes a shift in your paradigm that is crucial to becoming rich in a manner that, while acquiring wealth, develops your whole person as well.

With the understanding comes a natural faith and belief that getting rich is not only possible, but a natural and the only outcome that is possible.

Does the program work?

There is always a learning curve to understanding and applying principles. But the question that you’re probably asking, does it really work?

For a hint at the potential power in the course, take a look at Bob Proctor himself. Bob Proctor has studied the book for 40 years, and look where he’s at. And he’s still studying the book!

And look at the success that the movie, “The Secret“, enjoys and how it’s spreading across the world.

It’s about thinking “Truth” in spite of what your external circumstances may be.

The Science of Getting Rich isn’t about positive thinking. It’s about thinking “Truth”, even when the external circumstances say otherwise. That’s even more powerful that positive thinking could ever be. And that’s the core principle in acquiring wealth, to see and think “Truth” at all times.

The most important part of the Science of Getting Rich Seminar isn’t the reading of the material. That part is relatively easy. It’s the application and working through of the knowledge to gain deeper insights into wealth acquisition that’s crucial.

The Science of Getting Rich course is much, much better than some of the other materials and courses that I’ve read. In fact, if studied in depth, the Science of Getting Rich is probably the most complete Personal Development Course there is in becoming wealthy.

I find the worksheets included with the course very powerful in understanding the wealth creation process and principles. Together with the visual posters, audio CDs, MP3 and reading material, it helps to create a learning environment that engages more of the senses.

SGR Audio Lessons in CDs

SGR MP3 Player

Of particular use are the CDs and MP3 player. Most people are so busy these days, the only real non-working time they have is on the road. The audio lessons help one to use the time productively. Plus, the audio lessons have additional insights not included in the book.

It’s like having Bob Proctor, Jack Canfield and Rev. Michael Beckwith as your personal mentors.

It’s not material that’s fully digested at one go, but something to be read, reflected on, tested and used in order to gain the full benefit.

Have a simple, easy to follow study program for yourself.

Perhaps you can do 1 chapter a day if you have the time. Or if you’re busier, then go through 1 chapter a week. You’ll find that as you go along the course, you develop the peace of mind that comes with knowing that getting rich is a certainty when you do things in a certain way. Better yet, get together with a group of like-minded people and go over the material with a fine comb, so you get even more out of it.

It’s a worthwhile investment for the right person, and how do you determine the value of a course that helps you to get rich with peace of mind and confidence anyway?

If you’re able to create wealth and additional income of $100,000 or more a month over the course of your lifetime as a result of this course, how much would you pay for it?

As for me, this course is one to keep and go over again and again. Reading and applying the principles embodied in the course alone are worth more than the money one can invest, and each time I go through the course, I always find another insight into practical steps of creating wealth.

Update 24th July 2007:

The more I study the Science of Getting Rich, the more gems and diamonds I find with each sentence. Practically every sentence is packed with the power to change one's state of wealth when it is acted on. The more I study it, the more highly I begin to recommend it!
