Catherine Bell starts a series on Wallace D. Wattles' The Science of Getting Rich, reading Chapter 1's closing argument that wanting wealth is a duty to yourself, God, and humanity. She shares stories from her northern Canada childhood and her early drive to make a difference.
So I know a lot of you are super busy and don't have time or choose not to make time to read or listen to books and learn the skills and tools necessary to create extraordinary lives and to make the difference that you're here to make. And this is one of my favorite books that continues to make a profound impact on my life. So I'm actually going to spend time going through it. So I hope that you follow along with all the videos and I'm going to summarize each chapter so that you really can dig in and understand like, the power of that there actually is a science to getting rich and why it's necessary. So I love this book. It's by Wallace D. Wattles and just a powerful book. Very, very little, but powerful. So I want to start out with the very first chapter and that's the last paragraph in the first chapter. And it says, it is perfectly right that you should desire to be rich if you are a normal man or woman, cannot help doing so. It is perfectly right that you should give your best attention to the science of getting rich, for it is the noblest and most necessary of all studies. If you neglect the study, you are derelict in your duty to yourself, to God and to humanity, for you can render God and humanity no greater service than to make the most of yourself. This is so profound. I remember that in my early 20s, I growing up, you know, in northern Canada, it just seemed like every day was Groundhog Day. Just living a very repeated every day. It was just the Monday, you, you go to sleep, you get up, you go to work, you come home, you go to sleep. And. And I knew that there was more to life than that, and I just didn't know what it was. And I had this deep, deep, deep desire to figure it out and to be a contribution. I remember in the first grade, my first grade teacher actually said, you know, she asked the question, what does everybody want to be when they grow up? And you know, I came. She came to me and I said, I didn't know, but I want. I knew I was going to make a huge difference in the world. And she like rolled her eyes and sighed disrespectfully. I mean, it was. It has a huge, deep impact on me. So there's so many people in life who actually live like that. And I know that there's a lot of people in life that are just like me, who know there's something more and want to be that contribution. So I want to know, what are you doing to develop yourself? So that you can be the greatest contribution to God, your family, your community and humanity a whole. So follow me for more. I'm going to keep going through this, or even better, go read the book yourself and you know, learn from it. So stay tuned. Comment below. I hope that this makes a difference for you.
