Step 1 Towards Riches: Desire

Choose a definite goal and place all your energy, will power, effort, everything back of that goal.

Do not keep your eyes open for another opportunity in case you fail.  Give yourself no possible way of retreat.

Wishing will not bring riches.  But desiring riches with a state of mind that becomes an obsession, then applying definite ways and means to acquire riches, and backing those plans with persistence which does not recognize failure, will bring riches.

6 Steps That Turn Desires Into Gold

1.  Fix in your mind the exact amount of money you desire.
2.  Determine exactly what you intend to give for the money you desire.
3.  Establish a definite date when you intend to possess the money you desire.
4.  Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire and begin at once whether you are ready or not.
5.  Write out a clear, concise statement of the amount of money you desire, time limit, what you intend to give and your plan.
6.  Read your written statement aloud twice daily.  Once just after waking and once before going to bed.  As you speak aloud feel yourself already in possession of the money.

If the thing you wish to do is right and you believe in it, go ahead and do it.  Put your dreams across and never mind what “they” say if you meet with temporary defeat, for “they” perhaps do not know that every failure brings with it the seed of an equivalent success.

The world is filled with an abundance of opportunity which the dreamers of the past never knew.

Remember that all who succeed in life get off to a bad start and pass through many heartbreaking struggles before they “arrive”.  The turning point in the lives of those who succeed usually come at the moment of some crisis, through which they are introduced to their “other self.”

No one is ever defeated until defeat is accepted as a reality.

No one is ready for a thing until they believe they can acquire it.

No more effort is required to aim high in life, to demand abundance and prosperity, than is required to accept misery and poverty.

Through some strange and powerful principle of “mental chemistry”, Nature wraps up in the strong impulse of desire, “that something” which recognizes no such word as “impossible,” and accepts no such reality as failure.
