Are You Missing Something?

Not long ago, I received a question from one of my newsletter subscribers that went something like this (I've edited out the personal details):

"In say the past year I have been applying the law of attraction consciously to winning the lottery so I can get a beautiful home for myself, a car, and wonderful gifts for my family and friends."

"On occasion I might win a free ticket or maybe even ten dollars."

"What am I missing?"

"I certainly allow myself to receive, so tell me if there is something else required."

Hmmm...

Interesting question.

Even more interesting...

Believe it or not...

Is the fact that I get asked this question a lot.

More often than not...

It's preceded by a statement something like...

I've been applying the "law of attraction" to winning the lottery so I can get __________...

Or...

I'm trying to "manifest" winning the lottery so I can get __________...

Followed by the fact that it isn't working for them and then the million dollar question...

What am I missing?

Every single time I'm asked this question...

I'm immediately reminded of something Wallace D. Wattles, best known for his classic masterpiece "The Science of Getting Rich", wrote in one of the articles in his "Lessons in Constructive Science" series:

"There are altogether too many people who seek to use mental power as a means or instrumentally by the use of which they can get something for nothing; who think that in some way the new thought may be used in taking advantage of other people, and whose mental science is in reality nothing more nor less than an attempt at robbery. It goes without saying that sooner or later these people are going to come to failure and disaster."

You see...

What all these folks are missing is simple...

Really simple...

Really, *really* simple...

Are you ready?

Here it is...

A way to *earn* the money to get what they want!

Throughout his writings, Wallace D. Wattles wrote about the importance of getting into the right business or profession for you and giving other people more in use value than you receive in cash value.

And...

Therein lies the "secret" to getting a beautiful home for yourself...

A car...

Wonderful gifts for your family and friends...

And/or...

Anything else you want that money can buy.

You know...

It's absolutely incredible to me how many people don't get this simple concept.

For some strange reason...

Totally unbeknown to me...

Maybe it's all the "law of attraction" and "manifesting" nonsense floating around out there on the Internet...

Many well-intentioned, well-meaning folks seem to think that all they have to do is sit in a corner somewhere and "meditate" what they want into their lives without giving anything of value to others in return.

Now...

Just in case you're one of them...

Let me let you in on a little secret...

It doesn't work that way!

Might it work that way someday?

Yes.

Does it work that way right now at our current state of development?

No.

If...

You believe otherwise...

You're fooling yourself.

And...

You're essentially reducing your life to a crapshoot!

So...

If you *really* want to get a beautiful home for yourself...

A car...

Wonderful gifts for your family and friends...

And/or...

Anything else that money can buy...

Scientifically...

Here's my advice...

In addition to knowing *exactly* what you want...

In addition to having the *faith* that you'll get what you want...

Get into the right business or profession for you and then put everything you've got into it, giving each person with whom you deal more in use value than you receive from them in cash value, with the intention of getting what you want.

It's that simple.

Remember...

"There are altogether too many people who seek to use mental power as a means or instrumentally by the use of which they can get something for nothing; who think that in some way the new thought may be used in taking advantage of other people, and whose mental science is in reality nothing more nor less than an attempt at robbery. It goes without saying that sooner or later these people are going to come to failure and disaster."

Don't you be one of them! :-)
