but the urge to continue was stronger than the desire to quit.
This happens every time I’m working out. I get to a point where it seems the pain is so difficult but the desire to continue outweighs the urge to quit. I continue and in just a few seconds the urge is replaced with relief and a new energy to continue with what I had started. To complete the goal I set before me.
“Above everything else, get this fact clearly fixed in your mind, that your ‘other self’ will not do your work for you; it will only guide you intelligently in achieving for yourself the objects of your desires.
“Your only limitation is the one which you set up in your own mind!”
For one thing I have learned that those who meet with difficulties which seem insurmountable may, if they will do so, best overcome these difficulties by forgetting them for a time and helping others who have greater problems.
Our way to healing is through helping others.
What I am saying is that the power which translates one’s thoughts or desires into realities has its source in an Infinite Intelligence which knows more about plans than the one doing the praying.
God has a plan for me. That plan will not fail.
Observation of these simple facts of everyday life may be helpful as a starting point for those who wish to supplant fear by faith.
“Be careful what you set your heart upon, for it surely shall be yours.”
Bible verse. Set your heart on things above
cigarettes break down the power of persistence; they destroy the power of endurance; they destroy the ability to concentrate; they deaden and undermine the imaginative faculty, and help in other ways to keep people from using their minds most effectively.
Any habit which weakens one’s will power invites a flock of its relatives to move in and take possession of the mind.
Once I get a young person to join my two-package-a-day club, I have no trouble in inducing that person to take on the habit of liquor, over-indulgence of sex, and all other related habits which destroy independence of thought and action.
When you found a great love in the woman of your choice, I lost my grip on you.
I could flatter you if I had you alone, but I cannot flatter you while you have the use of your wife’s mind.
“When two or more meet together and ask for anything in My name, it shall be granted.”
You are where you are and what you are because of your thoughts and your deeds.
By mastering the three appetites responsible for most of one’s lack of self-discipline. The three appetites are (1) the desire for food, (2) the desire for expression of sex, (3) the desire to express loosely organized opinions.
Is the habit of over-indulgence in sex as dangerous as the habit of taking narcotics or liquor? A There is no difference between these habits. Both lead to hypnotic control, through the habit of drifting!
Success usually is but one short step beyond the point where one quits fighting.
But nature does impose her law of hypnotic rhythm upon all minds and through this law gives permanency to the thoughts which dominate those minds.
One is bound by poverty or blessed with abundance because his aims, plans, and desires, or lack of them, have been made permanent and real by hypnotic rhythm.
Marriage succeeds or fails entirely because of the manner in which the participants relate themselves to one another.
that completeness of mind can be attained only by harmony of purpose and deed between two or more minds.
No human being owes another any degree of duty which robs him of his privilege of building his thought-habits in a positive environment.
One’s dominating desires can be crystallized into their physical equivalents through definiteness of purpose backed by definiteness of plans, with the aid of nature’s law of hypnotic rhythm and time!
