Forget About Poor People If You Want To Be Rich - Learn The Law Of Gratitude
There is no place in a grateful mind for thoughts of
poverty. If you are striving to live in an attitude of
gratitude, all thoughts of poor people and their sufferings
must be dismissed from your mind. Does this sound terribly
harsh? Perhaps so but, if you consider what it means, you
will understand why you should forget about poor people.
In order to achieve your desire for wealth, it is essential
that you understand the Law of Gratitude. It is, to quote
The Science Of Getting Rich, "the natural principle that
action and reaction are always equal, and in opposite
directions." The giving of thankful praise is an
"expenditure of force", the reaction to which is an
"instantaneous movement towards you". Living in a constant
attitude of gratitude will result in a constant movement
towards you of the wealth you desire. The moment you lose
your attitude of gratitude, a movement in the opposite
direction will occur
The Law of Gratitude dictates that wealth will move either
toward you or away from you according to your thoughts. If
you live in continuous gratitude and an attitude of happy
thanksgiving, you will naturally continue to attract more
blessings. If you lapse into dissatisfaction and think of
your problems and the problems of people around you, more
problems will swarm in because you are attracting them by
the negative nature of your thoughts. If you think rich,
you will become rich; if you think poor, you will become
poor.
Forgetting about poor people does not mean that you should
become hard-hearted and treat the people around you with
callous indifference. If a homeless person begs you to
give him the price of a cup of coffee, there is no reason
not to give him the money. Indeed, if you feel like it,
there is nothing to stop you buying him breakfast. You can
give thanks for the fact that you can afford to perform
charitable acts but you must not permit your thoughts to
dwell upon the unhappy circumstances of the homeless and
poor. You can make charitable donations to help those less
fortunate than yourself but you will harm yourself if you
fill your mind with thoughts of the suffering in the world.
Thinking about poverty will not do one ounce of good for
the poor people and can bring you a ton of harm. Wallace
Wattles tells us that if you "fix attention on the common,
the ordinary, the poor, and the squalid and mean" your
thoughts will become mental images which you will transmit
and, thereby, attract these things into your life. By
allowing your thoughts to build these negative images, you
are bringing into being more of the very things you would
wish to eradicate.
If you desire wealth, you must focus upon wealth and be
grateful for every good thing in your life. Take note of
the warning in The Science Of Getting Rich: "To permit
your mind to dwell upon the inferior is to become inferior
and to surround yourself with inferior things. On the
other hand, to fix your attention on the best is to
surround yourself with the best."
