How Do You Stay Motivated?

In a survey I conducted, a reader wrote:

"Dear Tony,

In this time of economic change and spiritual challenge, how's it possible to still plan to earn money for financial independence and in the meantime keep as a priority (motivation) the personal development to the heights required?

I always have conflicts with that, especially if you believe in the <latest end-of-the-world theory deleted>.

This is my question and my pressing problem.

Thank you!"

Well, if you believe the world's going to end soon or some huge cataclysmic event is about to happen that's going to end civilization as we know it, it's real difficult to stay motivated to do much of anything, isn't it?

So, if financial independence, or anything else for that matter, is what you want, my first piece of advice to you is to stop believing that crap. Really! How? Simple. Belief is a choice. You can choose to believe or not believe anything you want. Nothing more to it than that.

Next, I suggest you get your viewpoint about the world and your place in it straight. There's no better way to do that than by reading The Science of Being Great by Wallace D. Wattles and doing exactly what it tells you to do. Click or tap the link below to get your copy today.

How to Make Relationships Better with TLC

We all wish to have a perfect relationship with someone that involves no conflict at all. Unfortunately, this is a rare thing to have happen. All types of relationships are bound to have arguments and disagreements of some kind. They might not happen too often, but they will happen.

For instance, you might not agree with something that someone said to you, such as a teacher, child, spouse, minister, salesperson, parent, and so on. Everyone has their own opinions about everyone and everything. In many cases, you'll find that people don't share your opinion on a variety of things.

When you find yourself in one of these situations, you need to use tender loving care (TLC). You may have heard about TLC before, but never used it. Some might say that TLC should be TLCU, which means tender loving care & understanding.

If you want to improve any relationship that you have with someone, you first need to understand what caused the problem between you two in the first place. If you can find out what happened to cause this conflict, it'll be easier for you to use TLC to remedy it.

There was a classic film which had the line "love means never having to say you're sorry". In other words, if you truly love a person and respect them, then it should be impossible for you to hurt them. If you have to say you're sorry, then you must not love them.

Of course, this is just a saying. You can't expect to find someone who's totally perfect all the time and will never hurt you. If a problem arises, just think objectively about the issue and see it from the other person's perspective. Do you think they feel the same way about you as you do about them in this situation? Thinking about it from their perspective will help you think differently about the situation. Then you can possibly change your perception of it.

Improving a relationship doesn't mean forcing the other person to admit that you're right and they're wrong. If you truly care about this other person, you must show them some respect. Most importantly, have empathy for their situation. If you do, they'll have empathy for yours too.

But don't just use words to show them how much you understand their feelings. This won't improve the relationship in the way that you want. If you can take action or physically do something for them, then this would be better. For instance, if the conflict arose over a material object, perhaps you can do something with this object to make the other person happy (e.g. fix it, replace it).

Communication is very important. When the person tells you how they feel, you need to listen and understand every word. Open communication like this is positive for repairing the relationship you two have. You don't need to be mean or harsh either. The other person may very well be in the wrong here. However, you don't need to throw that in their face and make them feel bad about it. Just keep the communication positive without any blaming or name calling. If there's a disagreement about something, let the person state their case respectfully. This is how you show value for a relationship.

If the person can see that you appreciate and forgive them, it'll make them happy. It takes a big person with a kind heart to forgive someone else that's done them wrong. After all, doesn't a loving relationship mean more than superficial issues? If you can compromise fairly, you can forgive. This might take some practice, but it's truly worth it.

It can feel natural to want to blame someone else when a conflict arises. But first, take a good look at yourself. Are you responsible at all for it? Maybe a little bit? If you accept some responsibility and be realistic about the situation, you can improve almost any relationship that's having problems. Sometimes you may even need to take more responsibility than the other person. But if you can master TLCU, then TLC will seem simple to give.

Want better relationships in your life?

Although he never wrote The Science of Winning Love, Wallace D. Wattles did write extensively on the subject, mostly as it related to marriage, but much of what he wrote can be applied to any relationship, marital or otherwise.

Here's a list of what he wrote on the subject in the approximate order in which they were published:

1. Scientific Marriage

Self-published in 1904, this may well be the first book Wallace D. Wattles ever wrote.

2. God: The Servant of Man

Although only the third article in this three-part series of articles by Wallace D. Wattles is directly related to love and marriage, it's necessary to read the first two in order to fully understand the third.

3. "Marital Unhappiness: A New Remedy"

This article contains Wallace D. Wattles' simple, step-by-step remedy for marital unhappiness.

4. "Courtship by Absent Treatment"

A most interesting article by a most interesting man. Wallace D. Wattles again touches on the subject of absent treatment in his serial story As a Grain of Mustard Seed (see below).

5. "A Second Courtship"

This article by Wallace D. Wattles is essentially a fictional case study of the practical application of the instructions contained in his "Marital Unhappiness: A New Remedy" article (see above).

6. "What the World Owes Us"

Interestingly enough, one of the subtitles of this article by Wallace D. Wattles, the fourteenth of fifteen articles in his Lessons in Constructive Science series, is "The Science of Winning Love".

7. As a Grain of Mustard Seed

This serial story by Wallace D. Wattles can best be described as a fictional case study of the practical application of his philosophy. Although its lessons aren't exclusive to love and marriage, it contains enough on these subjects to warrant inclusion in this list.

8. "Marital Happiness"

This in-depth lesson by Wallace D. Wattles, the eighth of ten lessons in his book The Personal Power Course, ties all the essentials of the science of winning love together into one nice, neat and tidy, package.

All of the rare books and articles by Wallace D. Wattles that are listed above are available in my Wallace D. Wattles Master Collection. Click or tap the link below to get your copy today.

How Do You Get the Most Out of Wallace D. Wattles' Writings?

In a survey I conducted, a reader wrote:

"Dear Tony,

Please, I really need you to tell me how I can get the most out of my study of Wallace D. Wattles' writings. What should I do while studying in order to remember at least 90% of what I have studied.

Thank you in advance!"

You're welcome in advance.

If you really want to get the most out of your study of Wallace D. Wattles' writings, rather than concern yourself with how much you remember of them, I suggest you focus on applying what you learn from them.

Let me say that again:

If you really want to get the most out of your study of Wallace D. Wattles' writings, rather than concern yourself with how much you remember of them, I suggest you focus on applying what you learn from them.

Here's the deal:

When all is said and done, it'll be what you did with what you learned and not how much you remembered from what you studied that'll have made the difference in your life.

The absolute easiest and fastest way I know of to apply Mr. Wattles' writings, in an orderly fashion, is to follow the plan of action he laid out in the ten lessons of his four Power Correspondence School courses - his Health Science Course, his Wealth Science Course, his Talent Development Course, and his Marital Happiness Course.

They've long been my blueprint for systematically applying Mr. Wattles' writings to my life.

If I have anything that even approximates a "secret weapon", it would be those ten lessons.

I highly recommend you read, study, and, most importantly, apply them!

To help you do that in a big way, a really big way, I've prepared special enhanced versions of them in which I take you by the hand and walk you step-by-step through each of them, commenting on what Mr. Wattles wrote, explaining them in minute detail using real-world examples, and giving you specific, detailed, proven, step-by-step instructions and action steps for applying what Mr. Wattles wrote to create health, wealth, talent development, and marital happiness in your life.

An Abundant Mindset

Does your entire life seem completely satisfying and abundant? Most people would say their lives are great in certain areas but lacking greatness in others. What if you could alter your mindset so that you can notice more of the abundance in your environment and attract additional abundance that you've never had before?

Before we get into that, you should understand what makes an abundant mindset different than a mindset that lacks abundance.

Some people have a mindset where they're negative and always think there's never enough of anything. For instance, they might argue with their partner about not having enough money to pay the bills. Either that or they might just lack the excitement or drive to do anything fulfilling with their life because they're afraid to think outside of their comfort zone. Anytime a person limits themselves in their thoughts or ambitions, they have a less abundant mindset. They'll always focus on the difficulties and problems of a situation rather than the joys that can come out of it.

On the other hand, a person with an abundant mindset will see opportunities and fulfillment that are available for everyone to enjoy. They don't worry about clinging onto every little opportunity before it gets away. Instead, they feel like opportunities are everywhere and easily accessible all the time. Most importantly, people like this will see the joy in everything and appreciate the positivity in each moment they experience.

Unfortunately, a lot of people in this world have a mindset that lacks abundance. They focus so much on the negativity around them without noticing the positivity that's out there.

The big question is, can someone with a mindset that lacks abundance turn that around to a mindset filled with thoughts of abundance? Yes, it's possible. However, you'll need to focus on each moment in the present and develop an abundant attitude for it. If you start having those negative thoughts come back into your head during these moments, just ignore those thoughts. Then, replace those thoughts with newer thoughts that promote positivity and abundance.

Below are 3 steps to getting started with this mindset change:

1. Notice the abundance that surrounds you.

Think about everything around you and where it came from. For instance, when you visit a grocery store, you're surrounded by shelves filled with different food products. Most of these products are comprised of several ingredients that different people put together to make them. Use this concept as an analogy for all your surroundings. Think about how houses have been constructed from the wood of trees. Think about how cars are basically a bunch of small metal-based components that are put together. If you start thinking about how the little things in your life amount to so much more, you'll notice the abundance around you more than ever.

2. Realize that you have plenty already.

Someone who lacks an abundant mindset is always thinking they don't have enough. Meanwhile, a person with an abundant mindset will constantly think about everything they do have. They'll tell themselves that they have plenty of things in their life, and they won't dwell over the things they don't have. These are the kinds of people who say "I'm satisfied with my life," "I'm blessed with what I have," or "I have more than enough money."

3. Be a giver.

People who think they never have enough will want to keep a close eye on what they do have. This means they'll never share with anyone and will likely become greedy. But if you can learn to share the things you do have, like your money or possessions, then it'll have a positive impact on your mindset. Soon you'll start realizing that you really do have a lot of things because so many other people need what you have. As your abundant mindset increases from sharing with others, you'll attract more love and wealth without even realizing it.

Want to accelerate the process in all areas of your life? Really accelerate it?

Can a Wife Affect Her Husband's Income in a Positive Way?

In a survey I conducted, a reader wrote:

"Hi,

Wife thinks in the Certain Way, husband doesn't. Can this wife affect her husband's income in a positive way by Wallace D. Wattles' methods? How? (Husband must take action).

Thanks."

Yes, you can, in theory anyway. However, I think your interests would far better served by focusing your attention on what you're thinking and doing, not on what your husband is thinking and doing, or attempting to change what he's thinking and doing.

In Chapter 9 of The Science of Getting Rich ("How to Use the Will"), Mr. Wattles wrote (and I suggest you pay real close attention here):

"To set about getting rich in a scientific way, you do not try to apply your will power to anything outside of yourself.

You have no right to do so, anyway.

It is wrong to apply your will to other men and women, in order to get them to do what you wish done.

It is as flagrantly wrong to coerce people by mental power as it is to coerce them by physical power. If compelling people by physical force to do things for you reduces them to slavery, compelling them by mental means accomplishes exactly the same thing; the only difference is in methods. If taking things from people by physical force is robbery, then taking things by mental force is robbery also; there is no difference in principle.

You have no right to use your will power upon another person, even 'for his own good'; for you do not know what is for his good.

The science of getting rich does not require you to apply power or force to any other person, in any way whatsoever. There is not the slightest necessity for doing so; indeed, any attempt to use your will upon others will only tend to defeat your purpose.

You do not need to apply your will to things, in order to compel them to come to you.

That would simply be trying to coerce God, and would be foolish and useless, as well as irreverent.

You do not have to compel God to give you good things, any more than you have to use your will power to make the sun rise.

You do not have to use your will power to conquer an unfriendly deity, or to make stubborn and rebellious forces do your bidding.

Substance is friendly to you, and is more anxious to give you what you want than you are to get it.

To get rich, you need only to use your will power upon yourself.

When you know what to think and do, then you must use your will to compel yourself to think and do the right things. That is the legitimate use of the will in getting what you want - to use it in holding yourself to the right course. Use your will to keep yourself thinking and acting in the Certain Way.

Do not try to project your will, or your thoughts, or your mind out into space, to 'act' on things or people.

Keep your mind at home; it can accomplish more there than elsewhere."

And that would be my advice to you today:

Keep your mind at home!

Why?

Because it can accomplish more there than elsewhere.

How?

What's the "Certain Way"?

Napoleon Hill on the Second Major Cause of Failure

In Chapter 7 of the book for which he's best known, Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill wrote:

"Life's greatest tragedy consists of men and women who earnestly try, and fail! The tragedy lies in the overwhelmingly large majority of people who fail, as compared to the few who succeed.

I have had the privilege of analyzing several thousand men and women, 98% of whom were classed as 'failures'. There is something radically wrong with a civilization, and a system of education, which permit 98% of the people to go through life as failures. But I did not write this book for the purpose of moralizing on the rights and wrongs of the world; that would require a book a hundred times the size of this one.

My analysis work proved that there are thirty major reasons for failure, and thirteen major principles through which people accumulate fortunes. In this chapter, a description of the thirty major causes of failure will be given. As you go over the list, check yourself by it, point by point, for the purpose of discovering how many of these causes of failure stand between you and success."

He then on to list and describe those causes, the second of which was:

"Lack of a well-defined purpose in life."

About which he wrote:

"There is no hope of success for the person who does not have a central purpose, or definite goal at which to aim. Ninety-eight out of every hundred of those whom I have analyzed, had no such aim. Perhaps this was the major cause of their failure."

Ya think!!

In my opinion, based on my own experience and that of personally coaching and training many hundreds of people over the years in Wallace D. Wattles' principles, lack of a clear and definite vision (my version of "a well-defined purpose") based on what's truly important to you and what you really want next in your life is the number one cause of failure, bar none!

So, if you're failing in life (not getting what you want in life, as Mr. Wattles might define it), my advice to you today is to get that fixed. Do that and I think you'll find everything else will fall into place rather nicely.

Need some help in that regard? I highly recommend my Wallace D. Wattles Quick Start Guide and my Wallace D. Wattles Advanced Vision Guide, read in that order.

Note: If you're a student of Mr. Wattles' writings, as I am, I highly recommend you read books and articles outside his writings selectively (very selectively!), if at all, with your "Wallace D. Wattles glasses" on. What's that mean? It means if you're going to read something outside his writings, you do so from the perspective of or through the "lens" of Mr. Wattles' writings and reject or modify anything that conflicts with them. What if you can't do that? What if you tend to get easily confused or off track? Then I don't, repeat don't, recommend your reading whatever it is your considering reading, at least not right now.

How Do You Control and Train the Mind to Be Constructive?

In reference to my free Wallace D. Wattles minicourse (the Constructive Science Minicourse), a reader wrote:

"Tony Mase, you are a genius to adopt such a powerful and great lesson from Mr. Wattles. I wish there was a way to accomplish this method of making all our thoughts and acts constructive instead of destructive. How do you control and train the mind to be that way? Did Mr. Wattles give us a lesson to this end? Because it is much easier said than done. If there is a way no matter how hard I want to do it. Please keep me informed so I can master my thoughts and actions."

First of all, thank you for your kind words.

To answer your question, yes, Mr. Wattles did give us a lesson on how to make all your thoughts and acts constructive instead of destructive. In fact, he gave us ten of them!

He wrote those ten lessons for a correspondence school, The Power Correspondence School, that was marketed through Elizabeth Towne's The Nautilus, the leading new thought magazine of its day.

The ten lessons, which were released in 1910, the same year Mr. Wattles' classic masterpiece The Science of Getting Rich was published, were divided into four courses - a health science course, a wealth science course, a talent development course, and a marital happiness course, which were available individually or together.

I've taken those four courses, enhanced them, and made them available on Amazon. If you're serious, really serious, about wanting to make your every thought and act constructive and, thus, get what you want in life, and, quite frankly, though I certainly don't want to say it's easy, it's not really all that difficult either once you understand and apply a few things, I highly recommend you read them in the order that they appear in below and, more importantly, do exactly what they tell you to do.

Bad Habits - How to Recognize and Change Them

Most people have at least one bad habit. If you don't, then you can just stop reading now.

If you're still reading this, then you should feel proud because you're admitting to yourself that you have bad habits in your life. Maybe your bad habits didn't appear to be a big deal at first. You probably thought that you could quit them anytime. Sometimes there are smokers who can quit anytime too.

In the beginning, bad habits give you a great feeling inside. You naturally want to keep feeling that great sensation, so you keep on doing it. You figure a little bit more never hurt anybody, right?

When it came to your spouse, it was difficult the first time you had to lie to them. But as the lies kept piling up, it got easier. Things like this typically get easier as you continue to give in to your bad habits. It's like a drug addiction that you can't quit. You'll do whatever it takes to rationalize your reason for taking them.

If you're ready to stop your bad habits and regain control of your life, then you must identify what your bad habits are. Take out a piece of paper and write down all your bad habits onto it. These can be the smallest bad habits too, such as complaining to your spouse or cutting people off in traffic. Maybe you say things to your kids that you regret. Whatever the bad habits are, you need to know what they are first by writing them down.

Be very descriptive when you identify your habit. Write down how many times per day or week that you indulge in it. Indicate how your life has negatively changed because of it. Does it cost a lot of money to indulge your addiction? If so, write down the amount of money that you normally spend per day, week, month, and/or year. The longer an addiction continues to be indulged, the harder it will be to stop it. So, there's no better time to start quitting your addiction than now.

Aside from the financial burden that your addiction causes, the emotional and physical suffering it causes can feel much worse. Maybe you have goals that you want to achieve, but then your addiction is stopping you from achieving them. You'll be wasting so much time, money, and power if you continue giving in to them. The emotional suffering will impact your mind so much that you will try coping with the addiction rather than fighting to get rid of it.

What are the good habits that you'd like to obtain? Write them down next to your list of bad habits. Make each good habit the opposite of the bad habit on your list. For instance, if your bad habit is watching too much television, then you could make your good habit something like going to the gym or spending quality time with your family outside. Create a timeframe for when you want to convert your bad habit into this new good habit.

Your list should be kept somewhere that's clearly visible to you daily. It's easy to form bad habits and difficult to form good habits. But if you can keep reminding yourself of the good habits that you want to achieve, then you'll continue to receive encouraging reinforcement by keeping the list in front of you. It'll be difficult in the beginning, but if you keep replacing those bad habits with good ones in your mind, then it'll be easier to make it a reality.

The next step is to modify your daily routine. Be sure to avoid anyone or anything that'll remind or tempt you to fall back into your bad habit. As your bad habit begins leaving your mind and you feel emptiness there, replace that emptiness with a good habit that feels wonderful. It's okay to get help if you need it because this isn't an easy process to get started with. However, you'll eventually become stronger both physically and emotionally. You just need to keep working on overcoming those bad habits and never give up. In the end, the choice to change is up to you.

Can You Clarify This Passage from "The Science of Getting Rich"?

Recently, a reader wrote:

"Tony,

First off, thank you for all the hard work you put in for the advancement of Wallace D. Wattles' great work.

Can you clarify, if possible, the following passage from The Science of Getting Rich, Chapter 16, where Mr. Wattles states:

'... you will do well to give up most recreations and pleasure...'

That always confused me. What exactly did he mean?

For instance, is going out for dinner and drinks an issue? Will that halt my progress?

Please advise.

Thank you!"

You're most welcome.

Let's start by taking a quick look at the entire passage in Chapter 16 ('Some Cautions, and Concluding Observations") of Mr. Wattles' book The Science of Getting Rich that quote comes from.

Here it is:

"Study this book. Make it your constant companion until you have mastered all the ideas contained in it. While you are getting firmly established in this faith, you will do well to give up most recreations and pleasures; and to stay away from places where ideas conflicting with these are advanced in lectures or sermons. Do not read pessimistic or conflicting literature, or get into arguments upon the matter. Do very little reading, outside of the writers mentioned in the Preface. Spend most of your leisure time in contemplating your vision, and in cultivating gratitude, and in reading this book. It contains all you need to know of the science of getting rich; and you will find all the essentials summed up in the following chapter."

A couple of things here:

First of all, please note that Mr. Wattles wrote "most recreations and pleasures" not "all recreations and pleasures".

Second, with that in mind, I think Mr. Wattles point there was, especially in the beginning, not to spend all your free time, your non-work time, in "recreations and pleasures" and ignore or not spend adequate time contemplating your vision, cultivating gratitude, and reading The Science of Getting Rich.

Note: Back in Mr. Wattles' day, work days and work weeks tended to be far longer than they are today, so most folks had precious little "leisure time" to spare.

So, "...is going out for dinner and drinks an issue? Will that halt my progress?"

As long as you're spending adequate time contemplating your vision, cultivating gratitude, and reading The Science of Getting Rich every day (and, quite frankly, deep down, you know whether you are or not), I honestly don't think so.

I hope this helps.
