Why It Is Important That Live Your Best Life Now

Posted on October 13, 2008

Live Your Best Life Now - Apparently it is not all about you…

The most powerful sections in the Science of Getting Rich, it is my inspiration to work harder. Whenever I feel I have lost my way, this section of chapter 6 puts me back on track. I have included the entire section here, so you can read and understand how important it is to live your best life now.

I believe in a Supreme Being, God, or whatever you choose to call this Being. In this section of Chapter 6, Wallace Wattles talks about how “God” lives through you. God, enjoys life when you enjoy life. God wants you to cultivate your talents, God wants you to enjoy beautiful things and God wants you to enjoy your work because God enjoys it too.

Read this section and tell me what you think. I know how it changed the way I live. I know that God does not want any of us to suffer, how we still manage to accomplish the act of suffering is beyond me. Nevertheless, that discussion is for another day.

Please enjoy…

“Original Substance wants to live all that is possible in you and wants you to have all that you can or will use for the living of the most abundant life. If you fix upon your consciousness the fact that the desire you feel for the possession of riches is one with the desire of Omnipotence for more complete expression, your faith becomes invincible.

Once I saw a little boy sitting at a piano, and vainly trying to bring harmony out of the keys; and I saw that he was grieved and provoked by his inability to play real music. I asked him the cause of his vexation, and he answered, “I can feel the music in me, but I can’t make my hands go right.” The music in him was the urge of Original Substance, containing all the possibilities of all life; all that there is of music was seeking expression through the child.

God, the One Substance, is trying to live, do, and enjoy things through humanity. He is saying, “I want hands to build wonderful structures, to play divine harmonies, to paint glorious pictures. I want feet to run my errands, eyes to see my beauties, tongues to tell mighty truths and to sing marvelous songs,” and so on.

All that there is of possibility is seeking expression through men. God wants those who can play music to have pianos and every other instrument, and to have the means to cultivate their talents fully. He wants those who can appreciate beauty to be able to surround themselves with beautiful things. He wants those who can discern truth to have every opportunity to travel and observe. He wants those who can appreciate dress to be beautifully clothed, and those who can appreciate good food to be luxuriously fed.

He wants all these things because it is Himself that enjoys and appreciates them; it is God who wants to play, and sing, and enjoy beauty, and proclaim truth and wear fine clothes, and eat good foods.

The desire you feel for riches is the Infinite, seeking to express Himself in you as He sought to find expression in the little boy at the piano. So you need not hesitate to ask largely. Your part is to focus and express the desire to God.

This is a difficult point with most people; they retain something of the old idea that poverty and self-sacrifice are pleasing to God. They look upon poverty as a part of the plan, a necessity of nature. They have the idea that God has finished His work, and made all that He can make, and that the majority of men must stay poor because there is not enough to go around. They hold to so much of this erroneous thought that they feel ashamed to ask for wealth, they try not to want more than a very modest competence, just enough to make them fairly comfortable.”

Just how much more of an effort will you make when you know that you are living your life and sharing the joy with God?
