not neglect it.
11:55
Speaker A
detailed description of what you want including the amount of money you intend to earn your subconscious takes over this picture and uses it as a blueprint to mold your thoughts and actions into practical plans through the law of habit
12:12
Speaker A
Law One: A Definite Chief Aim. Probably 95% of all people drift aimlessly through life without the slightest conception of the work for which they are best fitted or even the need for a definite objective toward
12:31
Speaker A
will begin to expect it you will begin to prepare yourself to receive it and to use it wisely thus Paving the way for the habit of saving second having in this manner increased your earning ability you make further use of the law of habit by
12:48
Speaker A
which to strive. A person's acts are always in harmony with his dominating thoughts. Any definite chief aim that is deliberately fixed in the mind with the determination to realize it eventually saturates the subconscious until it influences all aspects of one's being. Your definite
13:13
Speaker A
Leadership leadership is essential for attaining Success an initiative is the foundation upon which leadership sits initiative is that exceedingly rare quality that impels a person to do what ought to be done without being told to leadership is found only among those who have acquired
13:36
Speaker A
chief aim should be selected with deliberate care, and after you select it, you should write it out and place it where you will see it when you wake in the morning and retire at night. You must write down your aim. It is the first step
13:55
Speaker A
about their work with a definite purpose you will further see that they possessed self-confidence anyone who lacks these traits is not really a leader here is the exact procedure to become a person of initiative and Leadership first you must eliminate all
14:16
Speaker A
towards its actualization. You can impress your definite chief aim upon your subconscious through the principle called autosuggestion. In the simplest terms, this is a suggestion that you make to yourself consistently and with deep feeling. Be certain that your definite
14:34
Speaker A
teach third understand that there are two kinds of leadership one is as deadly as the other is helpful the deadly brand belongs to pseudo leaders who force their will on others the brand we are after was seen in Abraham Lincoln his
14:54
Speaker A
purpose is constructive, that its attainment will bring hardship and misery to none, that it will bring you and your loved ones peace and prosperity. Then apply the principle of self-suggestion, holding this idea constantly in your mind. The subconscious is like a
15:18
Speaker A
initiative and Leadership unless you first create these qualities in your imagination and see them as yours you may see how important imagination is when you stop to realize that it is the only thing in the world over which you
15:36
Speaker A
magnet, and when it has been vitalized and thoroughly saturated with any definite purpose, it has a tendency to attract all that is necessary for the attainment of that purpose in ideas, resources, circumstances, and people. There is someone thing that you can do better
15:54
Speaker A
see yourself as you wish to be you have the right to see in that mirror the Mansion you intend to own the business you plan to manage the station in life you intend to occupy your imagination belongs to you use it the more you use
16:12
Speaker A
than anyone else. Search until you find that particular line of endeavor and make it your definite chief aim. Then direct all of your forces toward it with the belief that you are going to win. You will most likely attain the greatest
16:34
Speaker A
decision in compelling the imagination to create a definite chief aim gives you a more powerful capacity to reach decisions in other matters law six enthusiasm enthusiasm is a state of mind that inspires you to action but it does
17:00
Speaker A
success by finding what work you like best, for you generally succeed when you can throw your whole heart and soul into something. To be sure of success, your definite chief aim should be backed with a burning desire for its
17:21
Speaker A
crucial factor in public speaking mix enthusiasm with your work and it will seem neither hard nor mon enthusiasm will so energize your body that you can get along with less than half the usual amount of sleep and perform two to three times as much work
17:40
Speaker A
achievement. Merely desiring freedom would never release a man from prison if it were not sufficiently strong to cause him to do something to entitle himself to freedom. You must experience your desire with a heartfelt passion. Singleness of purpose is essential for

developed is simple it begins by doing the work that you like best if you cannot for the time being engage in such work that is all the more reason to adopt a definite chief aim and you will begin to move toward it lack of money

into reality nor can anyone stop you from mixing enthusiasm with your plans when you are enthusiastic over your goods or services or the speech you are delivering your mental state becomes obvious to all who hear you the tone
18:55
Speaker A
Law Two: Self-Confidence. You are now at one of the most unusual chapters in this book because it consists largely of a personal pledge. I want you to consider this pledge very carefully and then write it down and sign your name to it. Repeat
19:17
Speaker A
you will lose the ability to influence others I do not believe that I can afford to deceive anyone about anything but I know that I cannot afford to deceive myself self to do so would destroy the power of my pen it is only
19:35
Speaker A
this pledge at least once a day until it has become a part of your mental makeup. Keep a copy of it before you as a daily reminder. By doing so, you will again be making use of autosuggestion or

Speaker A
self-suggestion to develop the crucial trait of self-confidence. Never mind what anyone may say about your method outside your mastermind group. You don't have to talk to anyone about it. In fact, it's probably best not to. Just remember that it is
20:42
Speaker A
consider this very carefully thought is the only thing over which you have total Dominion this is of profound significance it suggests that thought is your nearest approach to divinity on this Earthly plane this fact carries another vital idea namely that thought is your most
21:07
Speaker A
your business to succeed, and this creed, if mastered and applied, will take you a long way. I believe in myself. I believe in my co-workers. I believe in my employer. I believe in my friends. I believe in my
21:29
Speaker A
self-control is solely a matter of thought control you are searching for the magic key to power and yet you have the key in your hands and may use it the moment you learn to control your thoughts a student once asked how he

22:25
Speaker A
divine guidance, to be patient with others, and tolerant of those who do not believe as I do. I believe that success is the result of intellectual effort and does not depend upon blind luck or sharp practices or double crossing. I believe
22:44
Speaker A
you will appear to possess superhuman abilities no one has ever explained this phenomenon of the mind and perhaps no one ever will but if you doubt that it exists you have only to EXP experiment don't say it can't be done or
23:02
Speaker A
that I will get from life what I put into it. Therefore, I will conduct myself toward others as I would want them to act toward me. I will not spread or listen to slander and gossip. I will not
23:22
Speaker A
of self-control or Fritter away gossiping would if controlled and direct should constructively be sufficient to attain their definite chief aim provided they have one law eight the habit of doing more than paid for here is one of the most important
23:48
Speaker A
slight my work no matter what I may see others doing. I will render the best service possible because I have pledged myself to succeed in life, and I know that true success is the result of conscientious and efficient effort.
24:07
Speaker A
improves and the quantity increases when engaged in work that you love it is no hardship to do more and better work than you are paid for for this very reason you owe it to yourself to find the work you like best there are
24:24

Finally, I will forgive those who offend me because I realize that I shall sometimes...

commitment second suppose you want to develop a strong right arm you could develop such an arm only by giving it the hardest use out of resistance comes strength by performing more and better service than paid for you not only develop your skill
25:01
Speaker A
and ability but also can command greater remuneration than the majority who do not perform such service try this experiment for the next 6 months commit to rendering useful service to at least one person every day for which you
25:20
Speaker A
neither expect nor accept monetary pay go at this experiment with faith that it will prove to you one of the most most powerful Laws of Success that you succeed best and quickest by helping others to succeed law nine pleasing
25:44
Speaker A
personality your personality is the sum total of your characteristics and appearance the clothes you wear the lines in your face the Vitality of your body your handshake your tone of voice the thoughts you think the character you have developed by those thoughts all are
26:02
Speaker A
parts of your personality whether your personality is attractive is another matter by far the most important part of your personality is your character and is therefore the part that is not visible the style of your clothes and their appropriateness also constitute an
26:21
Speaker A
important part of your personality for it is true that people derive First Impressions from your outward appearance there is one way to express your personality that will always attract taking a heartfelt interest in others study people closely enough to
26:41
Speaker A
find something about them or their work that you truly admire talk to them about it show genuine interest in it only in this way can you develop a personality that will be irresistibly attractive cheap flattery has the the
26:58
Speaker A
opposite effect it repels instead of attracting it is so shallow that even the ignorant easily detect it as noted character is the most important factor in personality how can you build character follow these steps first identify people whose characters have the qualities you
27:22
Speaker A
wish to emulate and develop these qualities through Autos suggestion second let the dominating thought of your mind be a picture of the person that you are deliberately building third find at least one person each day and more if possible in whom
27:43
Speaker A
you see some good quality and praise it but remember this praise must be genuine and not insincere flattery I cannot overemphasize the benefits of praising openly and enthusiastically the good qualities in others for this habit will soon reward you with a
28:04
Speaker A
feeling of self-respect and manifestation of gratitude from others which will modify your entire personality law 10 accurate thought you cannot succeed without accurate thought accurate thought involves two fundamentals first you must separate facts from Mere information much information is not based upon facts
28:37
Speaker A
second you must divide facts into two classes important and unimportant all facts that Aid your pursuit of your definite chief aim without violating the rights of others are important and relevant all that you cannot use are the opposite if you direct your attention
28:58
Speaker A
exclusively to the important facts those that contribute to the realization of your aim you will attain a special Clarity you must also avoid the vulgar and self-destructive habit of spreading and listening to gossip if you permit yourself to be swayed by all manner of
29:19
Speaker A
information especially rumors and gossip you will never become an accurate thinker and you will not attain your definite chief aim we will now explore a special form of thought that does much more than gather and organize facts in many ways this
29:37
Speaker A
form of thought is the keynote of this course we will call it creative thought with a few exceptions man has not yet recognized creative thought as the connecting link to the power of infinite intelligence to understand how this
29:55
Speaker A
occurs we return to the topic of Auto suggestion the sense Impressions arising from your environment or from the statements and actions of others are mere ordinary suggestions but the sense Impressions that you place in your own mind that you deliberately and
30:14
Speaker A
confidently dwell upon think of at every opportunity and mentally picture and feel are the product of self suggestion or Auto suggestion Auto suggestion is the telegraph line over which you register in your subconscious the aim you wish to create in physical form the
30:35
Speaker A
subconscious is the intermediary between the conscious thinking mind and infinite intelligence you can invoke the aid of infinite intelligence through the subconscious only by giving it clear instructions as to what you want hence the critical need for a definite chief
30:55
Speaker A
aim the subconscious records the suggestions that you send it through Auto suggestion and invokes the aid of infinite intelligence in translating these suggestions into their natural physical form through natural means which are in no way out of the
31:14
Speaker A
ordinary first you must select the picture to be recorded your definite chief aim then you fix your conscious mind upon this Purpose with such intensity that it communicates with the sub conscious through Auto suggestion and registers that picture you then
31:33
Speaker A
watch for and expect manifestations of the physical realization of that picture bear in mind that you do not sit down and wait nor go to sleep with the expectation that infinite intelligence has granted your desire no you go right
31:51
Speaker A
ahead doing your daily work with full faith and confidence that natural ways and means for the attainment of your definite purpose will open to you at the proper time and in a suitable manner infinite intelligence will not build you
32:07
Speaker A
a home and deliver it ready to enter But infinite intelligence will open the way and provide the necessary means including insights intuitions and ideas which allow you to build your own house do not rely upon miracles for your
32:25
Speaker A
definite chief aim rely upon the power of infinite intelligence to guide you through natural channels and laws to its attainment law 11 concentration to move safely and accurately toward a Target you must concentrate on it two important laws
32:51
Speaker A
enter into the act of concentrating on a given desire one is the law of autosuggestion which we have already reviewed the other is the law of habit which we will now consider in further detail habit grows from environment and
33:08
Speaker A
repetition from doing and thinking the same thing over and over except for rare occasions when the Mind rises above environment we draw the material out of which thought is Created from our surroundings and habit crystallizes this thought into a permanent fixture to
33:27
Speaker A
attain success you must develop habits that lead toward constructive thoughts and actions in the direction of your definite chief aim follow this procedure to acquire the habits you need first at the beginning of the formation of a new
33:45
Speaker A
habit put force and enthusiasm into your expression feel what you think remember that you are taking the first steps toward making a new mental path it is much harder at first than it will be later make the path as clear and as deep
34:04
Speaker A
as you can at the beginning so that you can readily see it the next time you wish to follow it second keep your attention firmly concentrated on the New Path you are building and keep your mind far away from the Old
34:21
Speaker A
Paths third travel over your newly made paths as often as possible make opport o unities for doing so the more you Traverse these New Paths the sooner they will become familiar and easily traveled fourth resist the temptation to
34:40
Speaker A
travel over the older easier paths that you have used in the past every time you resist a Temptation you grow stronger fifth be sure that you have mapped out the right path as your definite chief aim and then charge at it
34:58
Speaker A
without fear or doubt law 12 cooperation success cannot be attained single-handedly it requires Cooperative effort even a Hermit in the wilderness is dependent upon forces outside himself for existence the more he becomes a part of civilization the more he depends upon
35:25
Speaker A
Cooperative effort if your philosophy is based upon cooperation instead of competition you will not only acquire the necessities and luxuries of life with less effort but you will enjoy an additional reward in happiness fortunes acquired through Cooperative effort
35:44
Speaker A
inflict no scars upon the hearts of their owners ordinary Cooperative effort produces power but Cooperative effort that is based upon complete Harmony of purpose develops superpower give a person of average ability a sufficiently visualized and passionately felt motive and he will develop
36:07
Speaker A
superpower men work harder for an ideal than they will for money remember this when searching for a motive to develop group cooperation men generally respond to three major motivating forces one the motive of self-preservation two the motive of
36:28
Speaker A
sexual contact three the motive of Financial and Social Power regardless of who you are or your definite chief aim if you depend upon others as almost all of us do you must present them with a motive strong enough
36:46
Speaker A
to ensure their full cooperation law 13 profiting by failure what we typically call failure is in reality temporary defeat moreover this temporary defeat often proves a blessing for it jolts us and redirects our energies along different and more
37:13
Speaker A
desirable paths sound character is usually the outcome of reverses setbacks and temporary defeat neither temporary defeat nor adversity Spell failure to one who looks upon such things as a teacher a great and Lasting lesson appears in every reverse and defeat and
37:35
Speaker A
usually it could be learned in no other way Ralph Waldo Emerson explored this principle in his great essay compensation if you haven't read it do so and reread it every 3 months I used to hate my enemies but this was before I
37:54
Speaker A
learned how well they were serving Me by keeping me ever lastingly on the alert lest some weak spot in my character provide an opening through which I might be damaged enemies discover your defects and point them out friends even if they
38:10
Speaker A
see them say nothing I am convinced that failure is Nature's plan through which she hurdle jumps Men of Destiny and prepares them to do their work failure is Nature's great Crucible in which she burns the dross from the human heart
38:28
Speaker A
and purifies the metal of a man so that it can stand the test of hard usage law 14 tolerance always remember these two facts about intolerance first intolerance makes enemies it disintegrates the organized forces of society it dethrones reason
38:56
Speaker A
and substitutes mobs psychology in its place intolerance is a form of ignorance that must be mastered before enduring success may be attained second intolerance is the chief disintegrating force in the organized religions of the world where it plays
39:17
Speaker A
havoc with the greatest power for good on Earth by breaking it up into small sects which spend as much time opposing each other as in combating evil anything that impedes the progress of civilization also stands as a barrier to
39:33
Speaker A
each individual I once encountered intolerance in myself and I vowed to unlearn much that I had previously considered the truth I discovered that I had acquired my views of religion politics economics and many other important subjects simply by picking up
39:54
Speaker A
what my family believed most of my views were unsupported by even a reasonable hypothesis much less facts imagine suddenly discovering that most of your philosophy had been built on bias and Prejudice I urge you to learn how and
40:13
Speaker A
where you acquired your philosophy of life in order to trace your prejudices and biases to their original source and to discover as I did the degree to which you are the result of training you received before the age of
40:34
Speaker A
15 law 15 the golden rule for more than 25 years I have been observing how men behave in positions of power and I have seen that the man who attains power in any way other than a slow stepbystep process is in constant
40:54
Speaker A
danger of destroying himself and all whom he influences for more than 4,000 years Humanity has preached the Golden Rule as the foundation of Good Conduct but the world has accepted the letter while totally missing the spirit of this
41:11
Speaker A
Universal injunction we acknowledge the Golden Rule merely as a sound principle but we have failed to understand the inner law upon which it is based the golden rule means to do unto others as you would wish them to do unto you but why what is
41:31
Speaker A
the real reason for this kindly consideration of others the reason is this there is an eternal law by which we reap what we sow when you select the rule of conduct by which to guide your life you are more likely to be fair and
41:50
Speaker A
just if you know that you are setting into motion a power that will run its course in the life lives of others returning finally to help or hinder you according to its nature it is your choice to deal unjustly with others but
42:07
Speaker A
if you understand the law upon which the golden rule is based you must know that your unjust deals will return to you you cannot pervert or change the course of this law but you can adapt yourself to its nature and thereby use it as an
42:26
Speaker A
irresistible power that will carry you to Heights of achievement this law does not stop merely by flinging back at you your acts of Injustice and unkindness it goes further much further and returns to you the results of every thought that you
42:46
Speaker A
release therefore it is advisable not only to do unto others as you wish them to do unto you but to make full use of this great universal law you must think of others as you wish them to think of
43:02
Speaker A
you the law upon which the golden rule is based begins affecting you for good or evil the moment you release a thought understand this law and you understand all that the Bible has to reveal the Bible presents one unbroken
43:19
Speaker A
chain of evidence that man is the maker of his own destiny all your acts toward others and and even your thoughts of others are registered in your subconscious through the principle of autosuggestion thereby building your own character in exact
