Imagine a world where you see yourself as someone who adds value to everyone you meet. A world where your very presence lifts others up, and in doing so, you’re not only enriching their lives but yours as well. 

This is the essence of both Wallace Wattles’ philosophy on increasing value and Maxwell Maltz’s teachings on self-image. 

When we truly see ourselves as people who have something meaningful to give, we unlock the power to create a life of abundance—not just for ourselves, but for those around us.

Wallace Wattles, in his timeless work The Science of Getting Rich, teaches us that to thrive, we must be a person of increase. This means living with the intention to always bring value to others, whether through our work, our words, or simply the way we show up in the world. 

When we focus on enriching others, we create a natural flow of energy and opportunities that come back to us. The more we give, the more we receive, and this exchange is the core of the law of circulation. 

It’s a beautiful cycle—by adding value to others, we open ourselves to the abundance the universe has to offer.

But here’s the key: We must first believe that we are people who can offer something of value. This is where Maxwell Maltz’s teachings on self-image come in. 

Maltz famously said, “You will act, feel, and perform in a manner consistent with your self-image.” In other words, the way we see ourselves directly influences how we show up in the world. 

If we view ourselves as capable, worthy, and generous, we will naturally act in ways that reflect those beliefs. We’ll give more, be more, and attract more.

When we combine these two philosophies, it’s clear: seeing ourselves as a person who has value to offer is the first step in becoming that person. 

When we believe that we have something to give, we begin to express it more freely and fully. As we do this, the law of circulation ensures that our giving creates a space for abundance to flow back into our lives.

So, ask yourself: How do you see yourself? Do you see someone who has value to bring to the world? 

When you shift your self-image to align with the belief that you are a person of value, you’ll not only impact others positively but also increase your own capacity to receive abundance in return. 

It’s all connected—your self-worth, your ability to give, and the endless flow of abundance that comes from sharing your gifts with the world.

By believing you have something to offer, you elevate both yourself and those around you.
