Throughout his life Mr. Carnegie taught his employees and acquaintances the meaning of desire. He would lecture them on the deference between wishing vs. desiring. Wishing does not bring riches, but desiring riches with a state of mind that becomes an obsession, then planning a way and means to acquire riches, and solidifying those plans with a persistence that does not know the meaning of failure brings about those riches.
The method by which desire for riches can be transmuted into its financial equivalent, consists of six practical steps:
- Fix in your mind the exact amount of money you desire. It is not sufficient to just say "I want plenty of money." Be definite as to the amount you want.
- Determine exactly what you intend to give in return for the money you desire. (There is no such thing as "something for nothing.")
- Establish a definite date when you intend to possess the money you desire.
- Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire, and begin at once, whether you are ready or not, to put this plan into action.
- Write out a clear, concise statement of the amount of money you intend to acquire, name the time limit for its acquisition, state what you intend to give in return for the money, and describe clearly the plan through which you intend to accumulate it.
- Read your written statement aloud, twice daily, once just before retiring at night, and once after arising in the morning. As you read the statement, feel and believe yourself already in possession of the money.
It is important to remember that all thoughts which are mixed with any feelings of emotions, constitute a "magnetic" force which attracts, from the vibrations of the Universe, other similar or related thoughts.
