THE POWER OF CONCENTRATION/INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
We
all know that in order to accomplish a certain thing we must concentrate. 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.
Do
not become discouraged, if you are unable to hold your thought on the subject
very long at first. There are very few that can. 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.
If
you will just practice a few concentration exercises each day you will find you
will soon develop this wonderful power.
Success
is assured when you are able to concentrate for you are then able to utilize
for your good all constructive thoughts and shut out all the destructive ones.
It is of the greatest value to be able to think only that which will be
beneficial.
Did
you ever stop to think what an important part your thoughts, concentrated
thoughts, play in your life? This book shows their far-reaching and all-abiding
effects.
These
lessons you will find very practical. The exercises I have thoroughly tested.
They are arranged so that you will notice an improvement from the very start,
and this will give you encouragement. They point out ways in which you can help
yourself.
Man
is a wonderful creature, but he must be trained and developed to be useful. A
great work can be accomplished by every man if he can be awakened to do his
very best. But the greatest man would not accomplish much if he lacked
concentration and effort. Dwarfs can often do the work of giants when they are
transformed by the almost magic power of great mental concentration. But giants
will only do the work of dwarfs when they lack this power.
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.
All
your real advancement must come from your individual effort.
This
course of lessons will stimulate and inspire you to achieve success; it will
bring you into perfect harmony with the laws of success. It will give you a
firmer hold on your duties and responsibilities.
The
methods of thought concentration given in this work if put into practice will
open up interior avenues that will connect you with the everlasting laws of
Being and their exhaustless foundation of unchangeable truth.
As
most people are very different it is impossible to give instructions that will
be of the same value to all. The author has endeavored in these lessons to
awaken that within the soul which perhaps the book does not express. So study
these lessons as a means of awakening and training that which is within
yourself. Let all your acts and thoughts have the intensity and power of
concentration.
To
really get the full benefit of these lessons you should read a page, then close
the book and thoughtfully recall its ideas. If you will do this you will soon
cultivate a concentrated mental habit, which will enable you to read with
ordinary rapidity and remember all that you read.
