The following statements have proven to be of immense help to me over the past several years.

Earl Nightingale's 'strangest secret' is that 'we become what we think about'. As a man thinketh within himself, so is he.

Put in another way, the mind of a person is the connecting link between the formed and the unformed world.

Emerson wrote 'Great hearts send forth steadily the secret forces that incessantly draw great events.'

Each of us must consciously, boldly and deliberately take hold of our thoughts and feelings and redirect them toward prosperity and success. It is up to you to dare to choose and radiate outward through your thinking what you really wish to experience in life, rather than get bogged down with failing experiences of the moment.

Choose and radiate mentally; choose and radiate emotionally; choose and radiate consciously and persistently.

The more you turn your mind in rich directions, the less you seem to have to exert undue human effort to produce results. Work you will, but it will be work as satisfying self expression rather than work just to survive.

Repeat the following statements as many times as possible every day for the next thirty days. You will be amazed at the results.

'I am an irresistible magnet with the power to attract unto myself everything that I divinely desire according to the thoughts, feelings and mental pictures I constantly entertain and radiate. I am the centre of my universe! I have the power to create whatever I wish. I attract what I radiate. I attract whatever I mentally choose and accept. I begin choosing and mentally accepting the highest and best in life. I now choose and accept health, success and happiness. I now choose lavish abundance for myself and for all mankind. This is a rich, friendly universe and I dare to accept its richness, its hospitality and to enjoy them now!

'I am now experiencing perfect health, prosperity and complete and utter happiness. This is true because the world is full of charming people who lovingly help me in every way. I have now come into an innumerable company of angels. I am now living a delightful, interesting and satisfying life of the most widely useful kind. Because of my increase in health, wealth and happiness, I am now able to help others live a delightful, interesting and satisfying life of the most widely useful kind. My good - our good - is universal.'
