Every day on the news you hear about people who have become millionaires. A great business idea that has made someone rich; successful pop artists who are selling millions of their CD\’s and downloads; lucky individuals who grab a huge lottery win. At some point you must ask yourself:

\”Why am I not a millionaire?\”

\”What am I doing wrong?\”

\”What is the millionaire doing that I\’m not doing?\”

In truth, there are over 10 million millionaires in the world and most of them possess no more aptitude for life than a normal, average person. But there is clearly something that separates the rich and successful from those who are not.

ARE MILLIONAIRES MORE INTELLIGENT THAN EVERYONE ELSE?

You can take an average group of 100 people at the start of their working career follow their path in life for 40 years until they reach retirement and statistics will show:

– Only 1 person will become very wealthy

– 4 people will be financially independent

– 5 will continue to work past this age because they have to

– 36 people will have died

– And 54 will be broke, depending on Social Security or relatives to support them.

So out of a 100 people, 5% will become rich and successful and 95% will not. What makes this 5% different from the rest of us?

– It cannot be down to education, because there are millionaires with college degrees and millionaires who have had very little education

– There are millionaires who were born into rich families and those who were once homeless and broke

– There are millionaires in developed countries, but also in third-world nations

– And there are also plumbers who are millionaires and doctors living in poverty

So, if education, circumstance, intelligence or luck is not the deciding factor in who will become a millionaire, what then is the essential ingredient? Surely there must be something?

Well, one author knew exactly what the special ingredient was…

YOU BECOME WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT

In the year 1910, a writer by the name of Wallace D. Wattles wrote:

\”The ownership of money and property comes as a result of doing things in a certain way; those who do things in this \’Certain Way\’, whether on purpose or accidentally, get rich.\”

A mysterious \’Certain Way\’? What was he referring to?

Well, the author said that you have one, precious ability that alone will define how successful you will become in your life. That no chance, luck or circumstance would ever decide whether you would become rich or poor, but only how you used this natural ability – an ability that you share with every other human being on the Earth.

He was talking about the power of thought. The way you and I imagine and think about things.

More specifically, he spoke of thought as a creative energy that will draw towards you the very substance of what you are thinking about. That all fear, desire, hope, gratitude, envy, joy, hate or love that springs from your thinking and imagination literally behaves like a magnet that will attract to you, like-for-like, from the world around you.

This remarkable idea can be summed up by the saying:

\”As you think, so shall you reap.\”

Or, as Henry Ford once said:

\”Whether you think you can or can\’t do a thing, either way you\’re right.\”

The author explained that your life will subsequently unfold according to what you spend most of your time thinking about – so instead of allowing your mind to dwell on your lack of money, rather you should put your focus on having lots of it!

WHY YOU ARE NOT A MILLIONAIRE

According to Wattle\’s discovery, you are not yet a millionaire because crucially you just haven\’t spent enough time in your life thinking and imagining yourself becoming one. Rather perhaps you have spent too much time thinking about what you don\’t want in your life…and thinking about what you don\’t want, is what you will get!

The good news is that Wattles describes the exact way to think in order to manifest a millionaire\’s life, reducing it virtually to a formula which every thinking person can use to change their life. This valuable information is found in his most famous book which is over a 100 years old, called \”The Science of Getting Rich\”. It\’s only 60 pages long and is very easy to find on the web as a free download.

\”You may be the poorest man on the continent, and be deeply in debt; you may have neither friends, influence, nor resources; but if you begin to do things in this way, you must infallibly begin to get rich.\”

– Wallace D. Wattles \”The Science of Getting Rich\”

Good thinking!
