We should fight against every influence which tends to depress the mind, as we would against a temptation to crime."

CONTROL YOUR THOUGHTS, CONTROL YOUR DESTINY We are the product of our thoughts, yet none of us has truly chosen the thoughts we have grown up with. They are the thoughts of our families, our culture, our religious teachings, and those of our peers. Consequently, none of us has attained the full life we desired for ourselves. Modern science has proved that intelligence is not confined to the brain cells, but that we think as a whole, and that all the cell life takes part in the thinking process. Every thought, every impression made on the mind, every mental attitude, affects all of the cells of the body. For that reason, this classic text by Orison Swett Marden and updated by David H. Morgan may be the most important book you will ever read. If our thoughts are our destiny, in reading this book, you will discover: • Thought, Our Incredible Life-Force • The Power of Thought In Creating Self-Confidence • The Power of Thought in Creating Health • The Power of Thought in Creating Happiness • The Power of Thought in Creating Prosperity • The Power of Thought to Prevent Aging These ideas and techniques will enable you to create a life where you control your own destiny...your ideals, your dreams, your hopes. OUR THOUGHTS AND IMAGINATION ARE THE ONLY REAL LIMITS TO OUR POSSIBILITIES. — Orison Swett Marden

Achieving Prosperity - Ultimate Collection

"The education of the will is the object of our existence," says Emerson.Nor is this putting it too strongly, if we take into account the human will in its relations to the divine. This accords with the saying of J. Stuart Mill, that "a character is a completely fashioned will."In respect to mere mundane relations, the development and discipline of one's will-power is of supreme moment in relation to success in life. No man can ever estimate the power of will. It is a part of the divine nature, all of a piece with the power of creation. We speak of God's fiat "Fiat lux, Let light be." Man has his fiat. The achievements of history have been the choices, the determinations, the creations, of the human will. It was the will, quiet or pugnacious, gentle or grim, of men like Wilberforce and Garrison, Goodyear and Cyrus Field, Bismarck and Grant, that made them indomitable. They simply would do what they planned. Such men can no more be stopped than the sun can be, or the tide. Most men fail, not through lack of education or agreeable personal qualities, but from lack of dogged determination, from lack of dauntless will."It is impossible," says Sharman, "to look into the conditions under which the battle of life is being fought, without perceiving how much really depends upon the extent to which the will-power is cultivated, strengthened, and made operative in right directions." Young people need to go into training for it. We live in an age of athletic meets. Those who are determined to have athletic will-power must take for it the kind of exercise they need.
