Week 12 –Future’s So Bright . . .

Haanel writes, “You must first have the knowledge of your power; second, the courage to dare; third, the faith to do.”  However, that knowledge does not apply itself.  We need to breathe life into it.  We need to see beyond the hazy fog of our self-imposed, non-existent boundaries to the light of abundance and joy.

I think; therefore, I am.  Whatever thoughts I have (plant) will bring into fruition (grow) the subject of that thought.  Conversely, what I forget atrophies.  So, if I am fearful that I will fail, if I am anxious that I cannot accomplish a task, or if I allow myself to become discouraged by the negativity of others (or my old blueprint), I am right because my thoughts are powerful.

Instead, I work hard (Wooden) to create a “sharp, clear-cut, definite, and AUTHENTIC” ideal (DMP) that will benefit “all whom it affects”.  In this manner, I COOPERATE with God, “Do everything in love” (1 Corinthians 16:14).  “Thought impregnated with love becomes invincible — an irresistible force.” (Haanel)  I can NOT fail!  I sit silently with God, set an intention, focus my attention, concentrate on my ideal, and follow systematic steps to accomplish it (POA).

Og writes, “If I persist, if I continue to try, if I continue to charge forward, I succeed” and “The prizes of life are at the end of each journey, not near the beginning; and it is not given to me to know how many steps are necessary in order to reach my goal.  Failure I may still encounter at the thousandth step, yet success hides behind the next bend in the road.  NEVER do I know how close it lies unless I turn the corner.  I persist until I succeed.”

The fog is lifted, the sun is shining, and my future is bright!
