The Science Of Getting Rich: 7 Principles From Chapter Fifteen

"The Advancing Man"

Deep down, I believe that for most people, becoming all you want to be is one of our ultimate goals. We all want to know that we have made a mark on the world, and that we have truly lived life.

Wattles points out that often, in many professions, especially helping professions like teaching, medicine, and ministry, those involved go about it all wrong. Instead of helping others reach a new level, they simply create more of what they are trying to get rid of.

Teaching breeds more ignorance, medicine brings more disease, and ministry brings more sin. No matter what your profession, these seven principles will help you succeed:

1. Regardless of your profession, if you increase the life of others, you will become rich.

One of the examples Wattles uses is of doctors. The doctor who sets out to cure disease will certainly become rich. Doctors seldom cure the illness, just as often they tend to make it worse. By following the principles of the Science of Getting Rich, doctors cure their patients. This will make them attractive to those who truly want healing.

2. Nowhere else is the Science of Getting Rich needed more than in medicine.

The way medicine is practiced now, it tends to bring even more disease. Drugs don't really cure anything. More often than not, they tend to mask the symptoms, or simply give the person taking them a little relief.

Doctors need to stop "practicing" and start curing. The focus needs to change from one of disease to one of healing and health. What you focus on brings more of the same.

This is also apparent in religion. All of those fire and brimstone sermons simply bring more guilt and sin. Isn't one of the purposes of getting saved to bring you the more abundant life Jesus talked about?

3. Everyone who follows these instructions to the letter will get rich.

The key here is in focus. If you focus on disease, you invite in more disease. The focus instead should be health and healing.

If you focus on sin, you only get more sin. Ministers need to teach what Jesus was trying to tell us: that the truth would set us free. Jesus said his "yoke was easy, and his burden was light." By
