Zig Ziglar may be the master motivator, Mark Victor Hansen of *Chicken Soup For the Soul*, the master storyteller; Anthony Robbins may be the guru of personal development, but Bob Proctor is the master thinker. When it comes to systematizing life, no one else can touch him. He is simply the best. Bob Proctor collects thoughts like Imelda Marcos used to collect shoes. He strings them together in exquisite arrays; one thought leading logically to the next until a whole method has been constructed. In this volume, *You Were Born Rich*, Bob Proctor has done it again, this time taking you step by step to the surprising discovery that success is not always “reaching out”
Every human being has been **Born Rich;** it’s just that most people are temporarily a little short of money! This book has been written in an attempt to bridge the gap between where you currently are and where you want to be. Step by step, chapter by chapter, it will help you piece together the puzzle we most often refer to as “life,” so you can build a picture of prosperity in your mind, and then go on to create that prosperity in your life. Indeed, life is very much like the Rubik’s Cube because we have all the right pieces, and all the right colors, but it is a frustrating, never-ending process, trying to get them to fit together. Inevitably, it seems, there are always at least one or two pieces we have left out. As you journey through this book, you will soon become very aware I am not telling you anything.
You have, in your hands, something which you have been searching for. **This is a plan—a very simple** **plan—that will take you from where you are, to** **where you want to be.** It is actually a deceptively simple plan. But do not let its apparent simplicity deceive you, because each chapter contains an idea which will prove to be of enormous value. These ideas are extremely effective. I have personally put each and every one of them to a test over the past quarter of a century. I have watched thousands of people, who have attended my seminars, put these ideas to a test as well. I can tell you, therefore, from both my first and secondhand experiences, the results in many cases have been extraordinary.
For example, individuals with barely enough resources to meet their basic needs have become very wealthy. Others, who had pressing problems which caused them to be unhappy and depressed, have literally transformed themselves into happy, well-balanced individuals. Now you have the opportunity to put these ideas to the supreme test, in your own life. What is it that you want? **Know you can have it—you can have** **all of the things you want.
The second chapter, “How Much Is Enough,” will help you take a careful inventory of your thoughts and your true financial situation. You will learn how to decide how much is enough for you. You will discover that you should have the amount of money you need, to provide you with the things you want, and to live in the style you choose. When this decision has been made, you will be prepared to march into chapter three, “The Image- Maker.” You will gain the awareness that your entire life is governed by images. It necessarily follows, then, that you should be acutely aware of the images you are building in your mind and you should also be aware of the necessity of building these images which will produce the results that will move you onward and upward, toward your desired destination. You will begin to understand that you are, in truth, a co-creator. Make certain that you often review what your responsibility is, in your co- creative partnership.
Chapter four, “Let Go And Let God,” helps you develop a strong faith based on a deep understanding. It will assist you in freely letting go of your image, turning it over to the power within you, so that the power itself can go to work and begin to materialize in physical results, as an exact replica of your mental image.
