You Must Watch The Pictures That You Paint With Your Imagination. Your Environment And The Conditions Of Your Life At Any Given Time Are The Direct Result Of Your Own Inner Expectations. If You Imagine Dire Circumstances, Ill Health Or Desperate Loneliness, These Will Be 'automatically' Materialized, For These Thoughts Themselves Bring About The Conditions That Will Give Them A Reality In Physical Terms. If You Would Have Good Health Then You Must Imagine This As Vividly As You Fearfully Imagine Ill Health.

We Must Be Talented, Powerful And Resilient Creatures Indeed Given How Much We Manage To Produce Despite The Constant Undercutting, Ridicule And Needless Censorship We Aim At Ourselves.

A Good Job Is Largely Anonymous And Forgotten (but Still Important). A Personal Job, On The Other Hand, Is Humanized. It Brings Us Closer Together. It Might Not Be Remarkable, But It Stands Out As Memorable Because (however Briefly) The Recipient Of The Work Was Touched By Someone Else. Often, Remarkable Work Is Personal Too, But Personal Might Just Be Enough For Today.

When You Do Not Know What To Do, Relax And Tell Yourself That Other Portions Of Yourself Do Know; They Will Take Over. Give Yourself Some Rest. Remind Yourself That In Many Ways You Are A Very Successful Person As You Are. Success Does Not Necessarily Involve Great Intellect Or Great Position Or Great Wealth; It Has To Do With Inner Integrity. Remember That.

Remarkable Marketing Is The Art Of Building Things Worth Noticing Right Into Your Product Or Service. Not Slapping On Marketing As A Last-minute Add-on, But Understanding That If Your Offering Itself Isn’t Remarkable, It’s Invisible.

If You Do Not Have A Loving Concern For The Environment... It Will No Longer Sustain You - You Will Not Be Worthy Of It. You Will Not Be Destroying The Planet, You See. You Will Not Be Destroying The Birds, Or The Flowers, Or The Grain, Or The Animals... They Will Be Destroying You.

Desire Is Action. In The Inner World, Your Desires Bring About Their Own Fulfillment, Effortlessly. That Inner World, And The Exterior One, Intersect And Interweave. They Only Appear Separate.

The Feeling Of Effortlessness Is What Is Important.

In Your System Of Reality You Are Learning What Mental Energy Is, And How To Use It. You Do This By Constantly Transforming Your Thought And Emotions Into Physical Form. You Are Supposed To Get A Clear Picture Of Your Inner Development By Perceiving The Exterior Environment. What Seems To Be A Perception, An Objective Concrete Event Independent From You, Is Instead The Materialization Of Your Own Inner Emotions, Energy, And Mental Environment.

When You Fall In Love With The System, You Lose The Ability To Grow.

It Is Not Understood That Before Life An Individual Decides To Live. A Self Is Not Simply The Accidental Personification Of The Body's Biological Mechanism. Each Person Born Desires To Be Born. He Dies When That Desire No Longer Operates. No Epidemic Or Illness Or Natural Disaster - Or Stray Bullet From A Murderer's Gun - Will Kill A Person Who Does Not Want To Die.

You Want Something, You Dwell Upon It Consciously For A While, You Consciously Imagine It Coming To The Forefront Of Probabilities, Closer To Your Actuality. Then You Drop It Like A Pebble Into Framework 2, Forget About It As Much As Possible For A Fortnight, And Do This In A Certain Rhythm.

Hard Work Is About Risk. It Begins When You Deal With The Things That You'd Rather Not Deal With: Fear Of Failure, Fear Of Standing Out, Fear Of Rejection.

The People Who Successfully Start Independent Businesses (franchises, I Think Are A Different Thing) Do It Because We Have No Real Choice In The Matter. The Voice In Our Heads Won't Shut Up Until We Discover If We're Right, If We Can Do It, If We Can Make Something Happen. This Is An Art, Our Art, And To Leave It Bottled Up Is A Crime.

To Act In An Independent Manner, You Must Begin To Initiate Action That You Want To Occur Physically By Creating It In Your Own Being. This Is Done By Combining Belief, Emotion And Imagination, And Forming Them Into A Mental Picture Of The Desired Physical Result.

I Believe That All Creativity And Consciousness Is Born In The Quality Of Play, As Opposed To Work, In The Quickened Intuitional Spontaneity That I See As A Constant Through All My Own Existences, And In The Experience Of Those I Know.

The Best Way To Honor Someone Who Has Said Something Smart And Useful Is To Say Something Back That Is Smart And Useful. The Other Way To Honor Them Is To Go Do Something With What You Learned.

Do Not Place The Words Of Anyone Above The Feelings Of Your Own Being. You Can Learn Much From Others, But The Deepest Knowledge Must Come From Within Yourself.
