You must get rid of the thought of competition. You are to create, not to compete for what is already created.

Become aware of and recognize fully the fact that the Principle of Power within you is God Himself. You must consciously identify yourself with the Highest.

No possible combination of circumstances can keep a man down, if he makes his personal attitude right and determines to rise.

Nothing can go wrong in this world but yourself ; and you can go wrong only by getting into the wrong mental attitude.

The purpose of life for man is growth, just as the purpose of life for trees and plants is growth. Trees and plants grow automatically and along fixed lines; man can grow as he will. Trees and plants can only develop certain possibilities and characteristics; man can develop any power which is or has been shown by any person anywhere. Nothing that is possible in spirit is impossible in flesh and blood. Nothing that man can think is impossible. Nothing that man can imagine is impossible of realization.

Do not wait for a change of environment before you act; get a change of environment by action.

You can never get rich, or start the creative power into action, by sending out unformed longings and vague desires.
