A great many years ago I purchased a fine dictionary. The first thing I did with it was to turn to the word impossible and neatly razor it out of the book. It was a symbolic gesture, and though it did not change the world at large, it registered an important fact to my subconscious. That would not be an unwise thing for you to do.



Success comes to those who become success conscious.Failure comes to those who indifferently allow themselves to become failure conscious.

The object of this book is to help all who seek it, to learn the art of changing their minds from failure consciousness to success consciousness.

Another weakness found in too many people, is the habit of measuring everything and everyone by their own impressions and beliefs. Some will read this, and believe that no one can think and grow rich. They cannot think in terms of riches, because their thought habits have been steeped in poverty, want, misery, failure, and defeat.

For some time I struggled whether to leave this upcoming story in The NEW Think And Grow Rich or not, because it also could touch a nerve of prejudice. It talks of a time before we understood and accepted one another but after reflection and advice, here she stays, because that is exactly what it illustrates, an irrational disability to see the truth due to parochial vision. Only through the hard work of raising your consciousness, such as you are doing in the study and application of this work, can you rise above it.

These unfortunate people who can only think in terms of poverty remind me of a prominent Chinese person, who came to America. He attended the University of Chicago. One day President Harper met this young man on campus, stopped to chat with him for a few minutes, and asked what had impressed him as being the most noticeable characteristic of the American people.

Why, the Chinaman exclaimed, the queer slant of your eyes. Your eyes are off slant. What did Americans of that epoch say about the Chinese?

We refuse to believe that which we do not understand. We foolishly believe that our own limitations are the proper measure of limitations. Sure, the other persons eyes are off slant because they are not the same as our own.

Take care in all things that you live by expansive vision.

Everything You Touch Turns Into An Asset

Observe very closely. As soon as you master the principles of this philosophy and begin to follow the instructions for applying the principles, your financial status will begin to improve and everything you touch will transmute itself into an asset for your benefit. Impossible? Not at all.

It is called flow, when things begin to work for you, with you, in you in an automatic, mystical way. When athletes reach this state, they refer to it as being in the zone. It is a timeless place of power. It is one of the greatest rewards you encounter when you live with the license of a higher order of being.

You may have heard a derivative statement, the rich get richer, the poor get poorer.

One of the main weaknesses of humankind is the average persons familiarity with the word impossible. He or she knows all the rules that will not work. All the things that cannot be done.

These people feel smug and self-justified, certain in their belief they must totter under the heavy yoke of poverty, just barely getting by in a world of obvious abundance.

Little do they suspect that they are actually proving that the principles do work. Only they are using them in reverse, to step-down the prosperity in their life, which any fool can do. What merit is there in that?

Truly, by definition, anyone seeking riches must be different than the mass of humanity. Normal people will do anything to avoid thinking, and even thinking about being proactive is something they cannot be moved to do.

The NEW Think and Grow Rich was written for those daring enough to jump on proving these principles do work. Those who seek the rules that have made others successful and those willing to stake everything on those rules.

When you do that, according to Natural Law, as reliably expressed as the circling seasons bring forth crop every year, you prosper, and everything you touch turns into an asset to your benefit.
