One of the most powerful, life-changing keys I ever encountered was in a short little book written in 1904: As You Think — originally titled As a Man Thinketh — by James Allen, an English writer (who is no relation).
I wrote some of the phrases in that book in big letters and put them on my wall. I carried some of them around in my pockets, and pulled them out and reflected on them occasionally during the day. After a while, these words became imprinted in my memory and etched in my soul — and great changes began to happen in my life.
This remains one of my favorite keys from As You Think:
You will become as great
as your dominant aspiration....
If you cherish a vision, a lofty ideal
in your heart, you will realize it.
— James Allen, As You Think
This is a great key to success. A dream seems so ethereal, insubstantial, and can so easily be forgotten — yet when a dream is remembered often enough, it has a way of becoming more substantial than all your doubts and fears about it. At some point along the way, that ephemeral dream can become a lasting intention — and then doors open, opportunities arise, you take the next obvious step and, in its own perfect time, your dream becomes a reality.
Don’t take my word for it. Try it for yourself. If you’d like support, you can work with me in The Millionaire Course. Don’t take the material in The Millionaire Course lightly — it has helped a great many people succeed in life. Those who have reached great levels of success are absolutely no different from you or me. It’s just a matter of discovering certain simple tools and applying them in our lives. Trust your intuition; find the things that appeal to you, and take them to heart.
A great visionary teacher said it all, very simply and clearly:
Ask and you will receive,
Seek and you will find.
— Jesus, Matthew 7:7
