Here’s 7 rules to live by:
1. Discover Your ‘High Tides’:
“Study yourself…and take advantage of all these “high tides” that come within yourself…each individual should study his own reactions with a view to availing himself of the constructive and of rising above the destructive.”
2. Watch Your Thoughts:
“To build a web that shall draw unto you the things you desire, the first thing you must do is WATCH YOUR THOUGHTS! Too many people think to themselves, “I will DO such and such a thing, but I’ll THINK what I please about it,” never realizing that this secret attitude has a drawing power in it.”
3. Brick in the Wall:
“Recognize every thought as a “brick in the wall” of our life structure and select your thoughts as you would the separate bricks to be used in the building of an actual wall around your home…When people ‘go under’, ‘give up in despair’, ‘lose their grip’ or go ‘down and out’ it is because they unknowingly built so many weak bricks into their wall that it crumbled when the pressure came.”
4. Focus on Only What You Want:
“Suggest to yourself only THOSE THINGS YOU WANT TO HAPPEN. Never think about, talk about or act out the ones you do NOT want.”
5. Stop Hurting Your Own Progress:
Never use self-suggestion to your own disadvantage…Just remember unpleasant things are INSIGNIFICANT except as YOU give them power over you, and that when you do so it is YOU, not these things, that harms you.”
6. Take Everything as a Lesson:
“Extract the LESSON which every unhappy thing brought you (and be sure it brought at least one), then let it PASS OUT OF YOUR MIND.”
7. Don’t Get Caught in Regret:
“In order to obtain the fullest co-operation of your subconscious for any achievement you must not shackle it with regrets…we CAN grow strong on our very defeats and failures if we will but look upon them as so many school books which we had to master before we could be ready for the next higher grade.”
Powerful rules, right?
