According to Wallace D Watttles, attracting abundance is an exact science, like algebra or arithmetic.
There are certain laws that govern the attraction of wealth and acquiring of riches.
Once you learned these laws, you will get rich with mathematical certainty.
In his book "The Science of Getting Rich", Wattles said that attracting abundance, be it wealth or money or property, comes as a result of doing things in a certain way.
Those who do things in this certain way, whether on purpose or by accident, will get rich.
On the other hand, those who do not do things in this certain way, no matter how hard they work, or how able they are, they remain poor.
It is a natural law that like causes always produce like effects.
Therefore, people who learn to do things in this certain way will unfailingly get rich.
Now I keep thinking, what is "this certain way"? As I read further into the book, Wattles pointed out: "I have said that men get rich by doing things in a certain way, and in order to do so, men must become able to think in a certain way.
" Aha, now this is familiar - one must THINK in a certain way, that is, one must direct our thoughts on the things we want rather than on the things we do not want.
For example, instead of focusing our thoughts on debt, we should shift our thoughts on how to make more money.
Instead of focusing on how much you hate your job, you can think about how to run your own business.
Continuing with the book, Wattles tells us that a man's way of doing things is the direct result of the way he thinks about things.
And the guiding principle is, man can form things in his thought, and by impressing his thought upon 'formless substance' can cause the thing he thinks about to be created.
This is what the Law of Attraction is all about.
Everything that is coming into your life you are attracting into your life.
Whatever is going in your mind you are attracting to you.
Hence, through positive emotions and focused thoughts, you can attract what you want into your life.
When we hold an image in our minds and focused in our thoughts, the universe will manifest itself to bring our thoughts into reality.
And the universe is a place of unlimited abundance.
Therefore, we can attract abundance by keeping a positive outlook, be grateful with what we already have and focus our thoughts only on the things that we want in our lives.
