When I hit rock bottom emotionally, physically, and financially, I finally discovered the power of thought as a tool for success and failure.
I realized that failure is the result of failed thinking.

The word 'rich' means living an abundant or satisfying life.
In reality, everyone enjoys wealth commensurate with the level of peace, health, happiness, and abundance they experience in their own world.
There are honest ways to get to that goal quickly.
Becoming rich is easier than you think.
This is also a shocking truth about wealth.

--- p.24

The reason poverty still exists in a universe of abundance is because many people still do not understand this basic law of life.
They have not yet realized that to attract, one must radiate, and that which radiates will invariably attract.
Most people today do not know that you must sow in order to reap.
If we do not share or sow, no channel is created to receive the abundant and infinite material of the universe.

--- p.33

It's thrilling to realize that all things begin in the mind—that the mind is a divine force that creates good! The reason all things are accomplished mentally first is because the mind is the link between the formed world and the unformed world.
(…) It's up to you to conquer this wonderful world and reform it as you see fit! Of course, all this power must be used only for good.
If you try to use this power for evil purposes, you will find yourself in trouble.

--- p.39

There is a tremendous power within us and around us that we can use.
By intentionally releasing thoughts, feelings, and images of success, prosperity, and wealth, we can release the pent-up material, energy, and power within us and live a life of abundance.
Doing so will release your rich thoughts, feelings and images into the powerful ether of this universe, bringing you into contact with the abundant cosmic matter.
The cosmic substance, filled with divine intelligence and power, moves among people, conditions, and opportunities, attracting those that correspond to the thoughts you send out.
Then successful results will appear.
Indeed, this wonderful universe is rich and kind to everyone, and it desires that all humanity be in a divine order of prosperity, health, and happiness.
(…) There is no need to overthink the law of attraction and divergence.
All you have to do is accept that this law is the secret to wealth and put it to use.

--- p.44

There is a magical power in thinking about your desires, writing them down, expressing them constructively by specifying a time frame for them to come true, and then praying for them to come true.
Does this method seem overly simplistic? Great truths and powerful secrets tend to appear simple.
In fact, it's so simple that people overlook this method and look for a more difficult one.

Modern scholars of the mind say that humans can create anything they can imagine, that mental images shape human life, conditions, and experiences, and that the only limitation of human beings is their negative use of imagination.
That is, if there are failures and deficiencies in life, it is because you first imagined them in your mind.

--- p.74

The reason it appears to have failed is because it didn't ask for something big enough.
Broaden your perspective and raise your expectations, and you'll likely get a bigger response than you originally anticipated.
Failure is just a success that seeks to be born bigger.
Most things that seem like failures are actually steps towards victory!

Don't waste time holding grudges against those who have treated you unfairly.
(…) People who are not achieving will try to drag you down to their level of mediocrity, but they cannot do so if you do not pay attention to their words and actions.
(…) As you begin to rise through the thoughts that attract wealth, do not be discouraged, disheartened, or upset by the words or actions of others that try to hold you down or take away your gains.
(…) It's a sure sign that you're finally succeeding and people are noticing it.
In the long run, the only person they can harm is themselves, not you.

--- p.122

We are all creatures of emotions and feelings, and sometimes our deepest feelings determine our financial success or failure.
Emotions are a divine force and driving force.
Emotions are, in fact, the richest gold mine we can possess, so we must protect them like a gold mine.
Scattered thoughts, scattered emotions, and scattered actions also scatter the power of the mind.
This depletes the physical energy necessary to attract wealth, depletes the brain energy necessary for intellectual action or planning to attract wealth, and weakens the emotional drive necessary to execute plans.

--- p.190

It may seem extreme to focus on wealth to the exclusion of everything else, to avoid negative and failure-fearing colleagues, to cut off all undesirable relationships, and to be conscious of who and how you spend your free time.
But once you decide, you will see that these actions are an effort to break through the hard shell of limiting thoughts, feelings, and activities.
After that period, you can enjoy a balanced life again.

You have to realize that you are not a being tied to the same wheel that repeats itself every day.

--- p.199

There is no such thing as mediocrity, lukewarmness, or passiveness in persistence.
Perseverance is being bold, daring, pursuing what you want without hesitation or fear, and pushing through until you get the results.
Here are some good phrases to use when you're feeling overwhelmed or frustrated:
“I am not discouraged.
I move forward persistently.” And remind yourself often:
“I’m not going out now, I’m going up!”
