how to get what you want by Wallace D. Wattles chapter 1 getting what you want success, and success is in effect coming from the application of a cause because success is essentially the same in all cases the difference is in the things the successful people want but not in the success success is essentially the same with the results in the attainment of Health wealth development or position success is attainment without regard to the things attained and it is law in nature bit like causes always produce like a fax therefore since success is the same in all cases the cause of success must be the same in all cases because its successes always in the person who succeeds you'll see that this must be true because it the cause of success were in nature outside the person all persons similarly situated would succeed the cause of success is not on the environment to the individual because were all persons within a given radius would be successful and success would be wholly a matter neighborhood and we see that people whose environments are practically the same and who live in the same neighborhood show was all degrees of success and failure therefore we know that the cause of success must be in the individual and nowhere else it is therefore mathematically certain you can succeed if you'll find out the cause its success and develop that to sufficient strength and apply it properly to your work for the application have a sufficient cause cannot fail to produce a given effect if there is a failure anywhere have any kind it is because the cause was either not sufficient or was not properly applied the cause of success is some power within you you have the power to develop any power to a limitless sextet for there's no and mental growth you can increase the strength of this power indefinitely and so you can make it strong enough to do what you want to do and to get what you want to get when it is strong enough you can learn how to apply it to the work and therefore you can certainly succeeded are you have to learn is what is the cause of success and how it must be applied the development of the special packard needs to be used in your work is essential we do not expect anyone to succeed as a musician without developing the musical faculty and would be absurd to expect a machinist to succeed without developing the mechanical faculty a clergyman to succeed without developing spiritual understanding and the use of words or a banker to succeed without developing the faculty of Finance and in choosing a business you should choose the one which will call for the use have your strongest faculties if you have good mechanical ability internet spiritually minded and have no command of language do not try to preach and if you have the taste talent to combine colors and fabrics into beautiful creation no injury and dress do not learn typewriting or stenography get into a business which will use your strongest faculties and develop these faculties are you can and even this is not enough to ensure success there are people with fine musical talent the fail as musicians with good mechanical ability who fail as carpenters blacksmiths and machinist with deep spirituality employees have language fail this clergyman with Keenan logical mind who fail as lawyers and so on especial faculties used in your work the tools you use that success does not depend alone and having good tools it depends more and the power which uses applies the tools sure that your tools are the best and kept in the best condition you can cultivate any faculty to any desired extent the application the musical faculty causes success in music that the mechanical faculty causes success in mechanical pursuits that financial faculty cause a success and banking and so on and the something which applies these faculties what causes them to be applied is the cause of success the faculties are tools and user have the tools is you yourself that in New which can cause you to use the tools and the right way at the right time and in the right place is the cause of success what is this something in the person which causes him to use his faculties successfully what it is and how to develop the will be fully explained in the next section but before taking that up you should read the section over several times so as to fix upon your mind the impregnable logic have the statement that you can succeed you can't and he studied foregoing argument well you'll be convinced that you can and to become convinced to can succeed is first requisite to success chapter 2 the faculties at the human mind are the tools with which successes attain and the right application up these tools to your work or business well do it successfully and get what you want a few people succeed because the user faculty successfully and the majority who have equally good faculties fail because they use them unsuccessfully there is something in the man who succeeds which enables him to use his faculty successfully and this something must be cultivated by all who succeed the question is what is it it's hard to find a word which show express it not be misleading this something is poised employs is peace and power combined but it is more than poise proposes a condition and this something isn't action as well as a condition this something is day but it is more than faith Espace is commonly understood is commonly understood state consists in the action up believing things which cannot be proved and the something which causes success is more than that it is conscious power in action it is active power consciousness our consciousness which you feel when you know you can do with them and you know how to do the thing if I can cause you to know that you can succeed and to know the you know how to succeed I've play success within your grasp for a few know that you can do with a and know that you know how to do it it is impossible that should fail to do it if you really try when you are in full power consciousness you approach the task in absolutely successful frame of mind every thought would be a successful thought every action a successful action and if every thought and action is successful sum total all your actions cannot be failure what I have to do in these lessons then is to teach you how to create power consciousness in yourself so that you will know how so that you will know that you can do what you want to do and then to teach you how to do what you want to do week in the preceding section it proves by unanswerable logic that you can succeed it shows that all that is in any mind is in your mind the difference it to any being in development it is a fact in nature that the undeveloped is always capable development we see them that the cause of success is a new and is capable for development having read this you must believe that it is possible for you to succeed but is not enough for you to believe that you can you must know that you can and the subconscious mind must know it as well as the objective mind people have a way of saying he can he thinks he can but this is not true it is not even true that he can who knows he can if only the objective minus Pocono for the subconscious mind what often completely set aside and overcome what is positively known by the objective mind it is a true statement however that he can who some conscious mind knows that he can and is especially true if its objective mind has been trained to do the work people fail because they think objectively that they can do things but do not know subconsciously that they can do them it is more than likely that your subconscious mind is even now impressed with doubts and your ability to succeed and these must be removed or will withhold its power when you need it most subconscious mind is the source from which power comes in the action any faculty and a doubt will cause this power to be withheld and the action will be weak therefore your first step must be to impress your subconscious mind with the fact that you can this must be done by repeated suggestions practice the following mental exercise several times a day especially just before going to sleep thing quietly but the subconscious mentality which permeates your whole body as water permit sponge as you think this mind try to feel it you'll soon be able to become conscious effort hold this consciousness and say with deep earnest feeling I can succeed all that is possible to anyone is possible to me I am successful I do succeed for I'm for up the power success this is the simple truth realize that it is true and repeated over and over into your mentality saturated through and through with the knowledge that you can do what you want to do you can other people have and you can do more than anyone else ever done for no one has every yet used all the power that is capable of being used it is within your power to make a greater success in your business than anyone has ever made before you practice the about out a suggestion per month with persistence and you'll begin to know the you have within you that which can do what you want to do and then you'll be ready for the next section which will tell you how to proceed and doing what you want to do remember that it is absolutely essential they should first impress upon the subconscious mind knowledge the you can chapter 3 having filled your mentality conscious and subconscious with the faith that you can get what you want next question is one of the methods you know that you can do it if you proceed in the right way but which is the right way this must be certain to get more you must make constructive you support you have you cannot use which you have not therefore your problem is how to make the most constructive use have what you already have do not waste any time considering how you would use certain things if you have them consider simply how to use what you have is also a certain that your progress more rapidly if you make the most perfect you serve what you have in fact the degree of repetitive with which you attain what you want will depend upon the perfection with which you use what you have many people artist and still or find things coming their way very slowly because they're making only partial use present means power and opportunities you may see this point more plainly by considering an analogy in nature in the process of evolution the squirrels develop their leaping power to its fullest extent then a continuous effort to advance brought forth the flying squirrel which has a membrane uniting the legs in such a way as to form a parachute and enable the animal to sale some distance beyond in ordinary leap a little extension the parachute jump on the flying squirrel produced the bat which has member now swings and can fly and continuous play produced the bird with feathered wings the transition from one plan to another was accomplished simply by perfecting and extending functions at this girls had not kept sleeping further and further there would have been no flying squirrel and a power-play making constructive use the leading power produced flight if you are only jumping half as far as you can you will never fly in nature we see that like advances from one plan to another by perfecting function on the lower plane whenever an organism contains more life then it can express by functioning perfectly on its own plane it begins to perform the functions of the next higher or larger plane for squirrel which began to develop the parachute membrane must have been a very perfectly per this is the fundamental principle evolution and a voting meant in accordance with this principle then you can advance only by more than filling your present place you must do perfectly all that you can do now and it is the law that by doing perfectly all that you can do now you will be able to do later things which you cannot do now doing to perfection one thing invariably provides us with equipment for doing the next largest day because it is a principal inherent in nature that life continuously advances every person who does one thing perfect is instantly presented opportunity to begin doing the next largest day this is the universal law %uh life and its unfailing first do perfectly all that you can do now keep on doing it perfectly until the doing ever become so easy that you have surplus power left after doing it then by this surplus power you'll get ahold on the work a higher plane and began to extend your correspondence with environment get into a business which will use your strongest faculties even if you must commence at the bottom then develop those faculties to the utmost cultivate power consciousness so that you can apply your pack be successfully and apply them and doing perfectly everything you can do now where you are now cannot wait for a change in environment may never come you only way I reaching a better environment is by making constructive use the present environment only the most complete you save your present environment will place you in a more desirable one if you wish to extend your present business remember the you can only do it by doing in the most perfect manner the business you already have when you put life in %uh into your business to more than Philip the surplus will get you more business did not reach out after more into you have life to spare after doing perfectly all that you have to do now it is it no advantage to have more work more business then you have like to do perfectly that is the case increase your vital power first and remember it is the perfection with which you do what you have to do now that extend your field and brings you in touch with a larger environment bear in mind that the motive force which gets you what you want his life and that what you want in the last analysis is only an opportunity to live more and that therefore you can get what you want only through the operation have that universal law by which all-white advances continuously into fuller expression that law is that whenever an organism has more life then confined expression but functioning perfectly on a given plane its surplus life lets it to the next higher plane when you put another yourself into your present work to do it perfectly you're surplus power will extend you work into a larger field it is also essential the should have in mind what you want so that you're surplus power may be turned in the right direction form a clear conception to what you seek to accomplish but do not let what you seek to accomplish interfere with doing perfectly what you have to do now your concept of what you want is a guide to your energies an inspiration to cause you to apply them to the upmost your present work live for the future now suppose that your desires to have a department store and you have on the capital net to start a peanut stand do not try to start a department store today on a peanut stand capital that start the peanuts band for faith and confidence that you will be able to develop that into a department store look upon the pianist and merely as the beginning at the department store and make it grow you can get more business by using constructively the business you have now get more friends by using

home chapter 4 you can obtain what you want only by applying your faculties to your work in your environment you become able to apply to faculty successfully by acquiring power consciousness and you go forward by concentration on today's work and by doing perfectly everything that can be done at the present time you can get what you want in the future only break concentrating all your energies upon the constructive use whatever you are in relation with today indifferent perhaps argues that the elements in today's environment will be fatal to tomorrow's attainment do not desire for today and what is beyond your ability to get today but be sure you get today very best that can be had never take less than the very best that can be had at the present time but do not waste energy by desiring what cannot be at the present time if you always have the best it can be had your continued to have better and better things because it is a fundamental principle in the universe life shall continually advance into more life and into the use more and better things this is the principal which causes evolution but if you're satisfied with less than the best that can be had you will cease to move forward every transaction and relationship today wetherbee business domestic or social must be made a stepping stone to what you want in the future and to accomplish this must put into each more than enough like to fill it there must be surplus power in everything you do it is this surplus power which causes the advancement gets you what you want where there is no surplus power there is no advancement and no attainment it is the surplus love life above and beyond the function of President vir which causes evolution and evolution is advancing into more life getting what you want suppose for instance you're in a trade or profession and wish to increase your business it will not do when you sell goods or service to make the matter merely perfunctory transaction taking the customer's money giving him good value and letting them go away feeling that you had no interest in the matter beyond getting a fair deal and profiting thereby unless he feels that you have a personal interest in him and his needs and that you are honestly desires to increases welfare you've made a failure and are losing ground you can make every customer feel that you are really trying to advance his interest as well as your own your business will grow is not necessary to give premiums or heavier weights or better values than others give to accomplish this it is done by putting life and interest and every transaction however small if you desire to change your avocation make your present business a stepping stone to the one you want as long as you were in your present business fill it with wife the surplus will tend toward what you want taken live interest in every man woman and child you need either business or social way and sincerely desire the best for them they will soon begin

you are an employee desire promotion put life and everything you do put in more than enough life and interest to fill each piece a work do not be servile never be a flunky and above all things avoid the intellectual prostitution which is the vice of our times many trades and most professions I mean by this the being Amir hired apologist for and defender a immorality graft dishonesty or vice in any form the intellectual process to may arise in the service but he is a lost soul respect yourself the absolutely just to all put life into every act and thought and fix power consciousness thought upon the fact the you're entitled to promotion it will come as soon as you can more than feel your present place in every day if it does not come from your present employer it will come from another it is the law that who so ever more than fills his present place must be advanced the previous law there could be no evolution and no progress Markwell what follows it is not enough the should merely put surplus life into your business relations United vans far if you are a good businessman our employees but a bad husband and unjust father or and untrustworthy friend your failure in these respects will make you incapable using your success for the Advancement applied and so you're not come under the operation the constructive law many a man who fulfils the law and business is prevented from progressing because he is unkind to his wife or deficient and some other relational life come under the operation have the evolutionary force you must more than Phil every present relation telegraph operator and decided to get away from the key get into a small farm and began to move in that direction by being good to his wife he courted her without any reference to his desire and from being
