How to Get What You Want by Orison Swett Marden
There are men and women who have won distinction in every field who would not believe that there was such a possibility for them until they had actually proved it. There are plenty of young men and young women in our great industrial institutions today who could not be made to believe that perhaps in a single year they will be filling positions of great responsibility and power, and yet the possibility is there.
Every discovery of new powers, new assets in yourself, stimulates you tremendously to new efforts, to new endeavor. We have all seen instances where an ordinary clerk, with seemingly ordinary ability, has suddenly been promoted, and the stimulus, the tonic of advancement, the new hope of further success that has prodded them, has often added twenty-five or fifty per cent to their ability by uncovering new resources, new and before undreamed of powers.
You are victory organized; you were born to conquer, to play a magnificent part in life’s great game. But you can never do anything great or grand until you have such a conviction of yourself and your ability.
We establish relations with our desires, with whatever is dominant in our minds, with the things we long for with all our hearts, and we tend to realize these things in proportion to the persistency and intensity of our longings and our intelligent efforts to realize them.
Stop thinking trouble if you want to attract its opposite; stop thinking poverty if you wish to attract plenty. Refuse to have anything to do with the things you fear, the things you do not want.
