Although he&#8217;s never read a word of Wallace D. Wattles&#8217; writings (he is however very familiar with the basics of Wallace D. Wattles&#8217; philosophy), over the last seven years he&#8217;s reduced how to get what he wants to a science.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s his &#8220;scientific&#8221; formula for getting what he wants:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. He clearly recognizes the &#8220;source&#8221; of his supply.<!--more--><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>2. He&#8217;s very clear and very definite about what he wants &#8220;next&#8221;.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It might be a toy or a video game; or to do something or go somewhere. Whatever it is, he&#8217;s very clear and definite about it and, so as not to confuse his &#8220;source&#8221;, he usually focuses on one thing at a time, the one thing he wants &#8220;next&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. He clearly communicates his desire to his &#8220;source&#8221;.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>He makes absolutely sure his &#8220;source&#8221; clearly understands what it is he wants, leaving no room for error whatsoever.<\/p>\n<p>He does this by providing his &#8220;source&#8221; with a picture of what he wants, either from a brochure or one he prints off the Internet, or he takes his &#8220;source&#8221; to the store and shows him exactly what he wants (and, in the process, shows him exactly where to get it).<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. He goes about his business to the absolute best of his ability with full *faith* that his &#8220;source&#8221; will provide when the time is right.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After he&#8217;s clearly communicated what he wants to his &#8220;source&#8221;, in his mind it&#8217;s a &#8220;done deal&#8221;&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Keeping what he&#8217;s asked for in mind and thinking about how much he&#8217;ll enjoy it when he receives it, he goes about his business (that of being a &#8220;good kid&#8221;, which he does perfectly) *knowing* his &#8220;source&#8221; will &#8220;come through&#8221; with what he wants when it&#8217;s the right time for him to have it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. He&#8217;s very *grateful* to his &#8220;source&#8221; for all he has and all that&#8217;s coming his way<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>His &#8220;source&#8221;, who very much enjoys being the recipient of his gratitude, is as anxious to give him what he wants as he is to get it. As a matter of fact, his &#8220;source&#8221; so enjoys his gratitude that he goes out of his way to &#8220;surprise&#8221; him with all sorts of good things he doesn&#8217;t even ask for.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s really not much more to it than that. I can tell you from personal experience, his &#8220;formula&#8221; works and it works all the time.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s look his &#8220;formula&#8221; from a different perspective&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>1. Does he set long-range, mid-range and short-range goals?<\/p>\n<p>Nope. He just focuses on what he wants next. My gosh, he doesn&#8217;t even put it in writing!<\/p>\n<p>2. Does he set goals in all areas of his life?<\/p>\n<p>Nope. He just focuses on his most pressing need or want at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>3. Does he set deadlines?<\/p>\n<p>Nope. He learned a long time ago (the hard way, but he did learn it), it&#8217;s not a good idea to impose his will upon his &#8220;source&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>4. Does he have action plans?<\/p>\n<p>Nope.<\/p>\n<p>5. Does he plan his time?<\/p>\n<p>Nope.<\/p>\n<p>6. Does he go out and try hard to &#8220;make it happen&#8221;?<\/p>\n<p>Nope.<\/p>\n<p>7. Does he read books, listen to audio programs and attend seminars on how to get what he wants?<\/p>\n<p>Nope.<\/p>\n<p>8. Does he work on becoming the kind of person who is capable of getting, or worthy of, what he wants?<\/p>\n<p>Nope. He knows he&#8217;s good enough the way he is. He knows his &#8220;source&#8221; is a good and loving &#8220;source&#8221; who wants him to have the things he wants as much as he wants to have them.<\/p>\n<p>Now&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Does he get *everything* he wants?<\/p>\n<p>Absolutely not!<\/p>\n<p>His &#8220;source&#8221;, being wise and all-knowing :-), knows there are certain things he doesn&#8217;t really want or if he gets them he won&#8217;t like them or be happy with them. In that case, his &#8220;source&#8221; comes through with something even better.<\/p>\n<p>Hmmm&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Does any of this sound familiar?<\/p>\n<p>It should. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>His &#8220;scientific&#8221; formula is the very essence of what Wallace D. Wattles teaches about getting what you want&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Simply substitute &#8220;Formless Substance&#8221;, &#8220;Thinking Stuff&#8221; or whatever you prefer to call the &#8220;Universal Power&#8221; for &#8220;source&#8221;, follow his simple formula and you&#8217;ll be well on your way to getting what *you* want.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Author:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tony Mase is a serious student of the works of Wallace D.
