We all know that in order to accomplish a certain thing we must concentrate.
The Concentrated Mental Demand
Just remember every time you think of yourself as being weak, in some way you are making yourself so by thinking you are. Our mental conditions make us what we are. Just watch yourself and see how much time you waste in worrying, fretting and complaining. The more of it you do the worse off you are.
A successful business is not usually the result of chance.
It is of the utmost value to learn how to concentrate. To make a success of anything you must be able to concentrate your entire thought upon the idea you are working out.
It seems a peculiar fact that it is easier to concentrate on something that is not good for us, than on something that is beneficial. This tendency is overcome when we learn to concentrate consciously.
Did you ever stop to think what an important part your thoughts, concentrated thoughts, play in your life?
Man is a wonderful creature, but he must be trained and developed to be useful.
the greatest man would not accomplish much if he lacked concentration and effort.
We accomplish more by concentration than by fitness; the man that is apparently best suited for a place does not always fill it best. It is the man that concentrates on its every possibility that makes an art of both his work and his life.
Concentration Finds The Way
Everyone has two natures. One wants us to advance and the other wants to pull us back.
Habit is a matter of acquirement.
Many persons read good books, but say they do not get much good out of them. They do not realize that all any book or any lesson course can do is to awaken them to their possibilities; to stimulate them to use their will power.
One of the most beneficial practices I know of is that of looking for the good in everyone and everything, for there is good in all things.
Life furnishes us the opportunity to improve.
The first of each month, a person should sit down and examine the progress he has made. If he has not come up to “expectations” he should discover the reason, and by extra exertion measure up to what is demanded next time. Every time that we fall behind what we planned to do, we lose just so much for that time is gone forever. We may find a reason for doing it, but most excuses are poor substitutes for action.
I know that every man that is willing to pay the price can be a success. The price is not in money, but in effort.
The first essential quality for success is the desire to do--to be something.
The next thing is to learn how to do it
the next to carry it into execution.
The man that is the best able to accomplish anything is the one with a broad mind; the man that has acquired knowledge, that may, it is true, be foreign to this particular case, but is, nevertheless, of some value in all cases.
So the man that wants to be successful must be liberal; he must acquire all the knowledge that he can; he must be well posted not only in one branch of his business but in every part of it. Such a man achieves success.
The secret of success is to try always to improve yourself no matter where you are or what your position. Learn all you can. Don’t see how little you can do, but how much you can do.
The man that reaches the top is the gritty, plucky, hard worker and never the timid, uncertain, slow worker
The man that is chosen at the crucial time is not usually a genius; he does not possess any more talent than others, but he has learned that results can only be produced by untiring concentrated effort.
That “miracles,” in business do not just “happen.” He knows that the only way they will happen is by sticking to a proposition and seeing it through.
That is the only secret of why some succeed and others fail.
The successful man gets used to seeing things accomplished and always feels sure of success. The man that is a failure gets used to seeing failure, expects it and attracts it to him.
It is my opinion that with the right kind of training every man could be a success.
The man with grit and will, may be poor today and wealthy in a few years; will power is a better asset than money; Will will carry you over chasms of failure, if you but give it the chance.
Do not expect that you will always have easy sailing. Parts of your journey are likely to be rough. Don’t let the rough places put you out of commission. Keep on with the journey. Just the way you weather the storm shows what material you are made of. Never sit down and complain of the rough places, but think how nice the pleasant stretches were. View with delight the smooth plains that are in front of you.
Do not let a setback stop you. Think of it as a mere incident that has to be overcome before you can reach your goal.
The Self-Mastery: Self-Direction Power Of Concentration
Man from a psychological standpoint of development is not what he should be. He does not possess the self-mastery, the self-directing power of concentration that is his by right.
He has not trained himself in a way to promote his self-mastery.
Every balanced mind possesses the faculties whose chief duties are to engineer, direct and concentrate the operations of the mind, both in a mental and physical sense.
Man must learn to control not only his mind but his bodily movements.
When the controlling faculties (autonomic) are in an untrained condition, the impulses, passions, emotions, thoughts, actions and habits of the person suffer from lack of regulation, and the procedure of mental concentration is not good, not because the mind is necessarily weak in the autonomic department of the faculties, but because the mind is not properly trained.
When the self-guiding faculties are weak in development, the person always lacks the power of mental concentration.
ou cannot learn to concentrate until you develop those very powers that qualify you to be able to concentrate.
if you cannot concentrate one of the following is the cause:
Many have the idea that when they get into a negative state they are concentrating, but this is not so. They may be meditating, though not concentrating.
Those that are in a negative state a good deal of the time cannot, as a rule, concentrate very well; they develop instead abstraction of the mind, or absence of mind.
The ignorant person may say, “How can you get anything by merely wanting it?
Merely wishing for something will not bring it. Wishing you had something shows a weakness and not a belief that you will really get it.
So never merely wish, as we are not living in a “fairy age.” You use up just as much brain force in “vain imaginings” as you do when you think of something worth while.
Be careful of your desires, make a mental picture of what you want and set your will to this until it materializes.
Never allow yourself to drift without helm or rudder. Know what you want to do, and strive with all your might to do it, and you will succeed.
Feel that you can accomplish anything you undertake.
your soul is a center of all-power, and you can accomplish what you will to. “I’ll find a way or make one!” is the spirit that wins.
Don’t waste your mental powers in wishes. Don’t dissipate your energies by trying to satisfy every whim. Concentrate on doing something really worth while. The man that sticks to something is not the man that fails.
Success to-day depends largely on concentrating on the Interior law of force, for when you do this you awaken those thought powers or forces, which, when used in business, insures permanent results.
“God and one are always a majority,”
You can. You will. You must.
You have the latent faculties and forces to subdue anything that tries to interfere with your plans.
“Let-the-troubles-and-responsibilities-of-life-come-thick-and-fast. I-am-ready-for-them. My-soul-is-unconquerable.
I-represent-the-Infinite-law-of-force,-or-of-all-power. This-God-within-is-my-all-sufficient-strength-and-ever-present-help-in-time-of-trouble.
The-more-difficulties-the-greater-its-triumphs-through-me.
The-harder-my-trials,-the-faster-I-go-in-the-development-of-my-inherent-strength.
This-interior-reliance-is-all-sufficient
The-right-must-prevail
I-demand-wisdom-and-power-to-know-and-follow-the-right.
My-higher-self-is-all-wise. I-now-draw-nearer-to-it.”
Concentration, The Silent Force That Produces Results In All Business
Through concentrated thought power you can make yourself whatever you please.
By thought you can greatly increase your efficiency and strength.
If you will study the needless moods of anxiety, worry, despondency, discouragement and others that are the result of uncontrolled thoughts, you will realize how important the control of your thoughts are.
Your thoughts make you what you are.
Never forget that your thoughts are making your environment, your friends, and as your thoughts change these will also.
Good thoughts are constructive. Evil thoughts are destructive.
If your thoughts are of a high nature, you become connected with people of the same mental caliber and you are able to help yourself. If your thoughts are tricky, you will bring tricky people to deal with you, who will try to cheat you.
If your thoughts are right kind, you will inspire confidence in those with whom you are dealing.
You will soon learn the wonderful value of your thoughts and how serene you can become even when circumstances are the most trying.
Thoughts produce actions.
Therefore be careful of your thoughts. Your life will be molded by the thoughts you have.
There are invisible forces ready to help you if you do not think and act to intercept these. These forces work silently. “You reap what you sow.”
By concentration you can revolutionize your life, accomplish infinitely more and without a great effort.
Look within yourself and you will find the greatest machine ever made.
In order to speak wisely you must secure at least a partial concentration of the faculties and forces upon the subject at hand.
Speech interferes with the focusing powers of the mind, as it withdraws the attention to the external and therefore is hardly to be compared with that deep silence of the subconscious mind, where deep thoughts, and the silent forces of high potency are evolved.
It is necessary to be silent before you can speak wisely.
The person that is really alert and well poised and able to speak wisely under trying circumstances, is the person that has practiced in the silence.
You can only do this by persistently and intelligently practicing thought concentration.
Hold the thought:
In-silence-I-will-allow-my-higher-self-to-have-complete-control. I-will-be-true-to-my-higher-self.
I-will-live-true-to-my-conception-of-what-is-right.
I-realize-that-it-is-to-my-self-interest-to-live-up-to-my-best.
I-demand-wisdom-so that-I-may-act-wisely-for-myself-and-others.
How Concentrated Thought Links All Humanity Together
Success is the result of the way you think.
You have unlimited power to think and this is the link that connects you with your omniscient source.
Success is the result of certain moods of mind or ways of thinking.
If you will just realize that through deep concentration you become linked with thoughts of omnipotence, you will kill out entirely your belief in your limitations and at the same time will drive away all fear and other negative and destructive thought forces which constantly work against you.
When you learn thus how to concentrate and reinforce your thought, you control your mental creations; they in turn help to mould your physical environment, and you become the master of circumstances and the ruler of your kingdom.
Never stop to think of temporary appearances, but maintain an unfaltering belief in your ultimate success.
Make your plans carefully, and see that they are not contrary to the tides of universal justice.
The main thing for you to remember is to keep at bay the destructive and opposing forces of fear and anger and their satellites.
There is no power so great as the belief which comes from the knowledge that your thought is in harmony with the divine laws of thought and the sincere conviction that your cause is right.
All just causes succeed in time, though temporarily they may fail.
So if you should face the time when everything seems against you, quiet your fears, drive away all destructive thoughts and uphold the dignity of your moral and spiritual life.
When everything looks gloomy and discouraging, then is the time to show what you are made of by rejoicing that you can control your moods by making them as calm, serene and bright as if prosperity were yours.
When you are in a negative mood you attract thoughts of similar nature through the law of affinity. That is why it is so important to form thoughts of a success nature to attract similar ones.
When you once learn the laws of thought and think of nothing but Good, Truth, Success, you will make more progress with less effort than you ever made before.
The following method may assist you in gaining better thought control.
If you are unable to control your fears, just say to your faulty determination,
“Do not falter or be afraid, for I am not really alone. I am surrounded by invisible forces that will assist me to remove the unfavorable appearances.”
If you get anxious, angry, discouraged, undecided or worried, it is because you are not receiving the co-operation of the higher powers of your mind.
By your Will you can so organize the powers of the mind that your moods change only as you want them to instead of as circumstances affect you.
Your faculties cannot be disorganized one minute and organized the next. If you allow the mind to wander while you are doing small things, it will be likely to get into mischief and make it hard to concentrate on the important act when it comes.
The Training Of The Will To Do
The Will To Do is the greatest power in the world that is concerned with human accomplishment and no one can in advance determine its limits.
Genius Is But A Will To Do Little Things With Infinite Pains.
Little Things Well Done Open The Door Of Opportunity For Bigger Things.
The Will accomplishes its greater results through activities that grow out of great concentration in acquiring the power of voluntary attention to such an extent that we can direct it where we will and hold it steadily to its task until our aim is accomplished.
Rules for Improvement.
A desire arises. Now think whether this would be good for you. If it is not, use your Will Power to kill out the desire, but, on the other hand, if it is a righteous desire, summon all your Will Power to your aid, crush all obstacles that confront you and secure possession of the coveted Good.
Slowness in Making Decisions. This is a weakness of Will Power
Those that are successful have been quick to grasp opportunities by making a quick decision. This power of will can be used to bring culture, wealth and health.
The Lack of Initiative.
This, too, keeps many men from succeeding. They have fallen into the way of imitating others in all that they do.
You Are as Good as Anyone. You have will power, and if you use it, you will get your share of the luxuries of life. So use it to claim your own. Don’t depend on anyone else to help you. We have to fight our own battles. All the world loves a fighter, while the coward is despised by all.
An excellent motto for one of pure motives is:
Through my will power I dare do what I want to. You will find this affirmation has a very strengthening effect.
Every time you allow your determination to be broken you weaken it. Don’t forget this. Just the instant you notice your determination beginning to weaken, concentrate on it and by sheer Will Power make it continue on the “job.”
Never try to make a decision when you are not in a calm state of mind.
What we speak of as will power is but the gathering together of mental energy, the concentration power at one point.
The man that has not learned how to use his will rarely decides things for himself, but allows his resolutions to be changed by others.
Lesson VII. The Concentrated Mental Demand
The Mental Demand is the potent force in achievement.
Lesson VIII. Concentration Gives Mental Poise
There cannot be perfect concentration until there is peace of mind. So keep thinking peace, acting peace, until you are at peace with all the world. For when once you have reached this state there will be no trouble to concentrate on anything you wish.
Write on a piece of paper, “I have the power to do and to be whatever I wish to do and be.” Keep this mentally before you, and you will find the thought will be of great help to you.
don’t become a slave to concentration, and carry your business cares home.
Concentration Is Paying Attention to a Chosen Thought.
unless you pay attention to some certain thing you will not remember what you saw
When you concentrate on something it absorbs your whole thought.
Just remember every time you think of yourself as being weak, in some way you are making yourself so by thinking you are. Our mental conditions make us what we are. Just watch yourself and see how much time you waste in worrying, fretting and complaining. The more of it you do the worse off you are.
“Think, speak and act just as you wish to be, And you will be that which you wish to be.”
You are just what you think you are and not what you may appear to be.
The stronger the motive the greater the concentration.--Eustace Miller, M. D.
The Successful Lives Are the Concentrated Lives.
Train yourself so you will be able to centralize your thought and develop your brain power, and increase your mental energy, or you can be a slacker, a drifter, a quitter or a sleeper.
Why People Often Do Not Get What They Concentrate On. Because they sit down in hopeless despair and expect it to come to them.
But if they will just reach out for it with their biggest effort they will find it is within their reach. No one limits us but ourselves. We are what we are today as the result of internal conditions. We can control the external conditions. They are subject to our will.
Lesson IX. Concentration Can Overcome Bad Habits
“We must make our nervous system our ally instead of our enemy.”
“In the acquisition of a new habit as in the leaving off of an old one, we must take care to launch ourselves with as strong and decided an initiative as possible.”
“Never allow an exception to occur till the new habit is securely rooted in your life.”
“Seize the very first possible opportunity to act on every resolution you make, and on every emotional prompting you may experience in the direction of the habits you aspire to gain.”
“Keep the faculty of effort alive in you by a little gratuitous exercise every day.”
The more we exercise the will, the better we can control our habits.
“Every few days do something for no other reason than its difficulty, so that when the hour of dire need draws nigh, it may find you not unnerved or untrained to stand the test.
Lesson X. Business Results Through Concentration
A successful business is not usually the result of chance.
Neither is a failure the result of luck. Most failures could be determined in advance if the founders had been studied.
You gain an intense and sustained desire to make your business a success.
When you realize one desire, another comes.
Every man who achieves success deserves it.
When he first started out he did not understand how to solve the problems that afterwards presented themselves, but he did each thing as it came up in the very best way that he could, and this developed his power of doing bigger things.
Business success depends on well-concentrated efforts. You must use every mental force you can master. The more these are used the more they increase. Therefore the more you accomplish today the more force you will have at your disposal with which to solve your problems tomorrow.
Feel yourself a success, believe you are a success and thus put yourself in the attitude that demands recognition and the thought current draws to you what you need to make you a success.
So if you wish to start in business for yourself your greatest asset, with the single exception of a sound physique, is that of a good reputation.
The natural leader always draws to himself, by the law of mental attraction, ideas in his chosen subject that have ever been conceived by others. This is of the greatest importance and help. If you are properly trained you benefit much by others’ thoughts, and, providing you generate from within yourself something of value, they will benefit from yours. “We are heirs of all the ages,” but we must know how to use our inheritance.
Business success is not the result of chance, but of scientific ideas and plans carried out by an aggressive and progressive management.
