Six Way to Turn Desires into Gold

The method by which desire for riches can be transmuted 2 into its financial equivalent, consists of six definite, practical steps, these:

First: fix in your mind the exact amount of money you desire. It is not sufficient merely to say "I want plenty of money." Be definite as to the amount. (There is a psychological reason for definiteness which will be described in a subsequent chapter.)

Second: determine exactly what you intend to give in return for the money you desire. (There is no such reality as "something for nothing.")

Third: establish a definite date when you intend to possess the money you desire.

Forth 3: create a definite plan for carrying out your desire, and begin at once, whether you are read or not, to put this plan into action.

Fifth: write out a clear, concise 4 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.

Sixth: read your written statement aloud, twice daily, once just before retiring at night, and once after arising in the morning. As you read--see and feel and believe yourself already in possession of the money.

It is important that you follow the instructions described in these six steps. It is especially important that you observe, and follow the instructions in the sixth paragraph.

You may complain that it is impossible for you to "see yourself in possession of money" before you actually have it. Here is where a burning desire will come to you aid. If you truly desire money so keenly that your desire is an obsession 5, you will have no difficulty in convincing yourself that you will acquire it. The object is to want money, and to become so determined 6 to have it that you convince yourself you will have it.

化渴望为财富的六大步骤

化渴望为财富的方法，包含了如下的六大实际步骤：

第一：牢记你所渴望金钱的“确切”数目。光是说：“我要很多钱。”这样子是不够的。对其额度要非常肯定。(确定性之必要，有其心理学上的缘由，随后的章节会加以说明。)

第三：设定你想“拥有”所渴望金钱的确切日期。

第六：一天朗诵两遍你写好的告白，早晨起床时念一遍，晚上睡觉前念一遍。念的时候，要有如亲见目睹一般，实际体会真正拥有这笔钱时的感觉。

遵行这六大步骤的指示是非常重要的。你有必要切实遵照这六个段落的指示，并奉行不渝。你可能会嘀咕，你又没有真正拥有这笔钱，要“目睹自己实际拥有这笔钱，” 似乎不太可能。这就该是沸腾的渴望派上用场的时刻了。如果你真的热切 渴望要有钱，你的渴望会变成魂牵梦萦的迫切企求，要让自己 有如置身其境也就易如反掌了。你的目标就是想要有钱，并且要坚定不移，坚定到你相信自己会拥有这笔钱的地步。
