WHAT DOES ‘RICH’ MEAN TO YOU?

WHAT DOES ‘RICH’ MEAN TO YOU?“I remember in an anthropology class in

college where I learned that cultural

anthropologists calculate wealth by

subtracting how many hours a day the average

person in a specific culture need to work to

provide the essentials that keep him alive

and satisfied. The end product is the time

left over to pursue what someone WANTS to

pursue, instead of HAS to do.

“By that standard, the Kalahari bushmen were

the wealthiest people in the world, working an

average of two hours a day, I believe.

Interesting!”

I ran across that fascinating bit of info in an online forum for

cruising sailors (like me) and it got me wondering once again

about how we define “rich.” Money is what we use to buy back our

time — our lives — it seems to me. Folks who take off on

sailboats to see the world often refer to dollars as “freedom

chips.” And that’s exactly what they are!

How do YOU define “rich” for yourself, my friend? If, like so

many people, the first thing that comes to your mind is a

specific amount of money, then ponder the simple question, “Why?”

Why do you want that particular amount? What freedom will it buy

you?

I invite you to contribute your personal definition to the

enlightening (and extremely USEFUL) ongoing global conversation

on The Science of Getting Rich NETwork Discussion Forum:

You’re sure to get new insights, answers, “aha’s!” and more. And

someone, somewhere needs to hear what YOU have to say, too!

TRUST THE PROCESS!

Speaking of the Forum, take a look at the great news SARA in Lake

Jackson, Texas, USA, shared with us all there recently:

Ten months ago I had no income of my own and more credit card

debt that I wanted. A book review on Amazon.com mentioned Wallace

Wattles and I Googled the name and found this site. After reading

the free text that Rebecca provides, I wanted to learn more.

I spent some time contemplating my desire to take the course and

decided to go ahead and accept Rebecca’s generous offer to set my

own tuition. I completed the course, continued to read the text,

and participated in the discussions.

I very quickly landed a part-time job, in an organization that I

was interested in, at a decent wage, within easy driving of my

home. After the first paycheck, I was able to make an additional

couple of payments for the course. I already knew that everything

I had received from this course, the text, the newsletters, and

the site was so valuable.

I very quickly decided I hated that job for a variety of reasons.

I stuck with it because I really wanted to live SOGR and start

where I was. Not only did I not like the job but I felt like it

was taking so much energy that I wasn’t doing things I loved! But

it DID provide an income, there were aspects I DID like, I was

good at it, I was truly helping people, and I was learning new

things.

After about seven months I finally got in my groove so to speak.

I kept at this job and kept trying to make the most of it. Even

not loving it, I was making more of it.

I started bringing in ENTHUSIASM (thanks to the discussion boards

and newsletter for that reminder). I noticed that almost no one

else was actually enthusiastic about their jobs! At first I felt

a little strange being the only one being enthusiastic. There

were parts of the job that I did enjoy and I built on that.

There came a time a couple of months ago where I was asked to

take on more responsibility. Something that I had been studying

on my OWN time provided me with just what I needed to do that

well and I received a lot of positive feedback and attention.

More importantly, I felt fully engaged, creative, and happy with

my work.

I have been given more hours, more responsibility, and last week,

a raise. (There are things and people I don’t like but I don’t go

there in my mind much.)

Around me at home, my husband received a

great bonus, my daughter a great scholarship,

and it seems like we get good deals on things

we buy. I received a couple of noteworthy

gifts of money and a free vacation.

I wrote a few months ago that I was worried that my husband’s

bonus was going to be quickly spent and then gone.

It was. And it was okay.

Then a couple of weeks ago I was given, what

up until this time, was the biggest check I

had ever been given from a person that I love

but that had never been one to just give me

money.

I carried it around for a week enjoying the

feeling of being able to buy anything that I

wanted or share it in any way I desired.

Absolute joy!

My first big pay out? To Rebecca in sincere appreciation for the

immense value of this Course AND all the things she does that

people can enjoy and learn from at no cost. SOGR provided me with

the information that made me able to put into practice everything

I had learned previously over the years.

Thank you Rebecca. Everything about this work of yours provides

great value to our world.

Thank you to every person that has been a part of these boards. I

appreciate your contribution to my growth as well.

Keep believing!

Wow, thank YOU, Sara. And congratulations! You are off to an

awesome start and have shown us all a great example of what Mr.

Wattles means when he tells us in Chapter 13 that if you have a

job you don’t much like, “you can make the doing of it pleasant

by knowing that it is making it possible for you to come to the

doing of what you want to do.”

As you do that, you are definitely becoming “larger than your

present place” and so will soon find that you have

attracted/created circumstances that please you greatly. Good for

you!

THAT’S IT FOR NOW …

As you read this I’m about to go hurtling through the atmosphere

at very high speed in a thin metal tube. Sounds more exciting

I’ll see you again in a couple weeks with a new full edition of

The Certain Way and a new feature article, AND something new,

fun, and entirely different from anything we’ve done before!

P.S. So many Certain Way readers have raved about our exclusive

“Positive ReflectionsTM” that a couple months ago I had three

brand-new ones added for you to download, print out, and put to

work in your daily driving.

I love all three of them, but the one that makes me laugh out

loud is my personal favorite. And hey — when you’re laughing

you’re definitely NOT focused on LACK of anything, right? ;-D

Of course, they’re still right there on the Update Page — along

with LOTS of other great stuff! — just waiting for YOU to show

up and grab ‘em:
