Study

Do not rush past what the chapter is doing in you.

Study means slowing down, returning to the source, and noticing where the text opens, challenges, or confuses you.

How to study this lesson

  • Mark one passage that resonates with you.
  • Mark one passage that feels unclear, uncomfortable, or hard to accept.
  • Re-read the unclear paragraph, then read the paragraph before it and the paragraph after it.
  • Write one sentence in your own words: “I think Wattles is saying…”
  • Then move into the Abundant Alchemy focus below.

Leave the impression of increase

The impression of increase is not performance. It is the felt sense that your presence, work, speech, and exchange leave life larger than you found it.

Wattles asks you to communicate increase through usefulness, encouragement, excellence, and the way you meet others in ordinary life.

The advancing person does not merely seek increase; they become a living sign of increase.

Practice

Apply the principle.

Choose one person, place, task, or exchange today and intentionally leave it better than you found it.

Let increase become visible through your presence, usefulness, and encouragement.

Reflect

Use the Companion Journal.

Prompt: How do I want others to experience my growth, my work, and my presence?

Write honestly. Include what opened, what resisted, and what still feels unfinished.
