“I can form things in my thoughts, and by impressing my thoughts upon formless substance, can cause the thing I think about to be created. In order to do this, I must pass from the competitive to the creative mind. I must form a clear mental picture of the things I want. And, I must hold this picture in my thoughts with the fixed purpose to get what I want, and the unwavering faith that I will get what I want – closing my mind to all that may tend to shake my purpose, dim my vision, or quench my faith. I am ready to receive what I want when it comes, and I am acting now upon the people and things in my present environment.”
