Big Bulb 's Key Ideas from The Science of Getting Rich
by Wallace D Wattles

Wattles is clear: you’re not greedy for wanting wealth. It’s part of living fully—spiritually, mentally, and physically.

All wealth begins in the formless substance—what he calls the thinking stuff of the universe. Your thoughts shape your reality.

It’s not enough to just think—you have to think a certain way. That means holding a clear, unwavering vision of what you want, with faith and purpose.

Don’t just daydream—do the work. But not frantic or scattered work. Take purposeful action right where you are, using all you’ve got.

Gratitude connects you to the Source. It keeps you aligned with abundance instead of lack. Make it a daily, sincere practice.

The grateful mind is constantly fixed upon the best.

You’re not here to fight over limited pieces of the pie. You’re here to make new pies. Creation, not competition, is the way to wealth.

Don’t wait to become rich to start thinking and acting like a rich person. Hold the mindset now. Be confident, calm, and generous.

Avoid fear, doubt, or envy. These pull you back to the competitive plane. Stay focused, optimistic, and aligned with purpose.

You’re not meant to chase money for its own sake. Wealth is a tool for growth—for you and those around you. Use it well.
