The Power of Faith – to back Burning Desire

(支持燃燒般的渴望的信念）

• Desire backed by faith knows no such word as impossible.
• Every adversity brings with it the seed of an equivalent advantage.
  • 所有逆境與挫折都伴隨著同等程度的優勢和機會。
• Nothing is impossible to a person who backs desire with enduring faith
• I believe in the power of desire backed by faith.
• All achievements must begin with an intense, burning desire for something definite.
• It recognizes no such word as impossible, and accepts no such reality as failure.

Chapter III. Faith

Visualizing and Believing in the Attainment of Desire.

(The Second Step to Riches)

• FAITH is a state of mind which may be induced by AutoSuggestion.If
• Faith is the starting point of all accumulation of riches!
• If a person repeats a lie over and over, the lie will eventually be accepted as truth. Moreover, it will be believed to be the truth.
• How an original seed of an idea, plan, or purpose can be planted in our minds.
  • → Through repetition of thoughts.
• Write out a statement of your major purposes: Definite Chief Aim.
  • Commit it to memory and repeat it – in audible words, day after day — until these vibrations of sound have reached your subconscious mind.

Self-Confidence Formula

1. I know I have the ability to achieve the object of my Definite Purpose in Life. Therefore, I demand of myself persistent, continuous action towards its attainment. I now promise to take such action. 我要求自己堅持不懈的朝著目標前進。
2. I realize the dominating thoughts of my mind will eventually reproduce themselves into physical reality. Therefore, I will concentrate my thoughts for 30 minutes daily upon the task of thinking of the person I intend to become, thereby creating in my mind a clear mental picture of that person.
3. I know through the principle of autosuggestion that any desire I persistently hold in my mind will eventually seek expression through some practical means of attaining the object. Therefore, I will devote 10 minutes daily to demanding of myself the development of self-confidence.
4. I have clearly written down a description of my Definite Chief Aim in life. I will never stop trying until I have developed sufficient self-confidence for its attainment.
5. I fully realize that no wealth or position can long endure unless built upon truth and justice. Therefore, I will engage in no transaction that does not benefit all whom it affects. I will succeed by attracting to myself the forces I wish to use, and the cooperation of other people. I will induce others to serve me because of my willingness to serve others. I will eliminate hatred, envy, jealousy, selfishness, and cynicism by developing love for all humanity because I know that a negative attitude towards others can never bring my success. I will cause others to believe in my, because I will believe in them, and in myself. I will sign my name to this formula, commit it to memory and repeat it aloud once a day, with full faith that it will gradually influence my thoughts and actions so that I will become a self-reliant and successful person. </aside>

ALL Impulses of Thought have a tendency to Clothe themselves in their physical equivalent.
所有思想的衝動都傾向於將自己「穿上」其物質上的對等物。
