Edited and Adapted from the book The Victorious Attitude by Orison Swett Marden. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt : Would you not think yourself fortunate to have an assistant of great ability who was available free of charge, day and night, and so susceptible to instructions that even your slightest mental suggestion would be faithfully carried out? If you had such an assistant, and knew that in spite of their great ability they would be able to do what you suggested only in proportion to your belief in their power to do so, would you not be careful to entertain no doubts of their ability to carry out your wishes or suggestions? Now, just substitute for this personal assistant your subconscious self, that part of you which is below the threshold of your consciousness, and try to realize that this self is actually the sort of assistant I have just described, capable of carrying out all your desires, of executing all your purposes, of realizing all your ambitions, to the exact extent of your belief in its powers, and you will get some idea of what it can accomplish for you. --------------------- Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.
