Book Excerpts:
It is of the utmost value to learn how to
concentrate. To make the greatest success
of anything you must be able to concentrate
your entire thought upon the idea you are
working on. The person that is able to
concentrate utilizes all constructive
thoughts and shuts out all destructive ones.
The greatest man would accomplish nothing
if he lacked concentration.
We all know
that in order to accomplish a certain thing
we must concentrate. It is of the utmost
value to learn how to concentrate. To
make a success of anything you must be able
to concentrate your entire thought upon the
idea you are working out.
Do not become
discouraged, if you are unable to hold your
thought on the subject very long at first.
There are very few that can. It seems a
peculiar fact that it is easier to
concentrate on something that is not good
for us, than on something that is
beneficial. This tendency is overcome
when we learn to concentrate consciously.
If you will
just practice a few concentration exercises
each day you will find you will soon develop
this wonderful power. Success is assured
when you are able to concentrate for you are
then able to utilize for your good all
constructive thoughts and shut out all the
destructive ones. It is of the greatest
value to be able to think only that which
will be beneficial.
Did you ever stop to think what an important
part your thoughts, concentrated thoughts,
play in your life? This book shows their
far-reaching and all-abiding effects. These
lessons you will find very practical. The
exercises I have thoroughly tested. They are
arranged so that you will notice an
improvement from the very start, and this
will give you encouragement. They point
out ways in which you can help yourself.
Man is a
wonderful creature, but he must be trained
and developed to be useful. A great work can
be accomplished by every man if he can be
awakened to do his very best. But the
greatest man would not accomplish much if he
lacked concentration and effort.
Dwarfs can often do the work of giants
when they are transformed by the almost
magic power of great mental concentration.
But giants will only do the work of
dwarfs when they lack this power.
We
accomplish more by concentration than by
fitness; the man that is apparently best
suited for a place does not always fill it
best. It is the man that concentrates on its
every possibility that makes an art of both
his work and his life.
All your real
advancement must come from your individual
effort. This course of lessons will
stimulate and inspire you to achieve
success; it will bring you into perfect
harmony with the laws of success.
It will give you a firmer hold on your
duties and responsibilities.
The methods
of thought concentration given in this work
if put into practice will open up interior
avenues that will connect you with the
everlasting laws of Being and their
exhaustless foundation of unchangeable
truth.
As most
people are very different it is impossible
to give instructions that will be of the
same value to all. The author has endeavored
in these lessons to awaken that within the
soul which perhaps the book does not
express. So study these lessons as a means
of awakening and training that which is
within yourself.
Let all
your acts and thoughts have the intensity
and power of concentration.
