See things that you want as already yours. Know that they will come to you at need. Then let them come. Don't fret and worry about them. Don't think about your lack of them. Think of them as yours, as belonging to you, as already in your possession.

See things as you would have them be, instead of as they are.

Playing safe is probably the most unsafe thing in the world. You cannot stand still. You must go forward.

One might as well try to ride two horses moving in different directions, as to try to maintain in equal force two opposing or contradictory sets of desires.

Knowing that you have working with you a force, which never yet has failed in anything it has undertaken, you can go ahead in the confident knowledge that it will not fail in your case, either.

Use the talents God has given you to make the world better for your having been in it.

If you don't make things happen then things will happen to you.
