through　the　conscious　awareness　of　God's　power　within　you。　

When　Times　Get　Tough　

When　things　get　tough　you　must　get　tougher　and　you　
can。　

As　Dr。　Robert　Schuller　said；　〃Tough　times　never　last；　but　
tough　people　do。〃　So　if　you　find　your　faith　slipping　or　you　find　
yourself　running　low　on　this　great　motor　power　which　
accomplishes　so　many　wonderful　things；　you　can　do　
something　about　it。　The　following　exercise　works　for　me…it　has　
for　years…and　I　know　it　will　work　for　you　too。　You　can　build　


huge　reservoirs　of　mental　power　by　simply　employing　a　daily　
auto…suggestive　technique；　for　the　acquisition　and　the　
strengthening　of　this　greatest　and　most　necessary　of　all　
human　attributes…Faith。　

Note　that　when　you　are　giving　yourself　this　〃mental　
treatment；〃　you　should　always　go　off　by　yourself　and　speak　out　
loud　to　yourself　in　a　firm；　decided　tone　of　voice　（verbalize　what　
you　are　saying；　just　as　earnestly　as　if　you　were　speaking　to　
someone　else　whom　you　wished　to　impress　with　the　great　
importance　of　what　you　were　asserting）。　When　you　speak　to　
yourself；　begin　with　your　own　name　and　continue　as　follows：　

〃YOUR　NAME〃；　You　are　a　child　of　God　and　the　being　God　
made　was　never　intended　for　the　sort　of　weak；　negative　life　you　
are　leading。　God　made　you　for　success　not　failure。　God　never　
made　anyone　to　be　a　failure。　You　are　perverting　the　great　
object　of　your　existence　by　giving　way　to　these　miserable　
doubts　of　yourself；　of　your　ability　to　be　what　you　desire　with　
all　your　heart　to　be。　You　should　be　ashamed　to　go　out　amongst　
your　associates　with　a　long；　sad；　dejected　face；　as　though　you　
were　a　misfit；　as　though　you　lacked　creative　power　within；　as　
though　you　did　not　have　the　ability　to　do　what　your　Creator　
sent　you　here　to　do。　You　were　made　to　express　what　you　long　
to　express。　Why　not　do　this？　…　why　not　stand　and　walk　like　a　
conqueror；　like　a　David　who　slew　Goliath；　instead　of　giving　way　
to　discouragement　and　doubt　and　carrying　on　like　a　failure？　
The　Image　of　Perfection；　the　Image　of　your　Creator　lies　within　
you。　You　must　bring　it　to　the　center　of　your　conscious　thought　
and　express　it　to　the　world。　Don't　disgrace　your　Maker　by　
violating　that　image；　by　being　everything　but　the　magnificent　
success　God　intended　you　to　be。〃　

There　is　a　tremendous　achievement　force；　an　up…building　
and　strengthening　power　in　the　asserting　of　confidence　in　the　
Creator　and　that　you　are　created　in　His　image。　This　is　not　
egotism；　not　the　glorification　of　the　parody　of　the　man　or　
woman　which　wrong…thinking　or　wrong…living　has　made。　It　is　
simply　the　assertion　of　your　kinship　with　God。　


Do　Not　Force　It　To　Happen　

There　should　be　no　force　associated　with　the　
manifestation　of　your　image；　because　〃Force　Negates。〃　Trying　
to　do　it　your　way；　by　forcing　things　to　happen；　is　not　
necessarily　God's　way。　Therefore；　learn　to　follow　the　quiet　
voice　within　that　speaks　in　feelings　rather　then　words；　follow　
what　you　〃hear〃　inside；　rather　than　what　others　may　be　telling　
you　to　do。　Be　aware　that　the　quiet　voice　within　often　tells　you　
to　do　things　which　run　counter　to　the　way　most　people　live　
their　lives。　But　do　not　be　unduly　concerned　by　this。　Many　of　
the　world's　greatest　leaders　were　considered　heretics　by　their　
peers；　simply　because　they　chose　to　〃march　to　the　tune　of　a　
different　drummer！〃　These　individuals　were　following　the　quiet　
voice　within　them；　rather　than　doing　the　things　considered　
fashionable　in　their　day。　

Let　your　image　sink　deep　into　the　treasury　of　your　
subconscious　mind。　Let　yourself　get　totally　and　emotionally　
involved　with　your　Image；　because　by　doing　this　you　are　
〃Letting　Go　and　Letting　God。〃　

Understand；　moreover；　that　if　you　should　falter…for　any　
reason…and　go　your　own　way；　the　minute　you　recognize　your　
error　and　reaffirm　your　image；　Spirit　will　pick　up　right　where　it　
left　off　when　you　chose　to　take　over　the　controls。　Then　you　will　
instantaneously　be　back　in　the　right　vibration　and　on　the　
correct　pathway；　leading　to　success　in　life。　

Follow　the　instructions　below；　to　the　letter。　

First　Principle　

Relax　and　see　yourself　already　in　possession　of　the　good　
that　you　desire。　

Second　Principle　

Let　Go　And　Let　God！　


Expect　An　Abundance　

〃The　mind　is　a　powerful　magnet　and　as　such；　it　
attracts　whatever　corresponds　to　its　ruling　state。　
Expectation　dictates　what　that　ruling　state　will　be　
and　therefore　governs　what　corresponds　to　the　mind　
and　is　attracted　into　your　life。　Expectation　can　be　
either　a　blessing　or　a　curse　but　either　way　it　is　
certainly　one　of　the　most　powerful　unseen　forces　in　
your　life。〃　

…　John　Kanary　
Public　Speaker；　Author；　Entrepreneur　


What　are　you　doing　to　increase　your　income？　

If　your　answer　to　this　question　is　〃nothing〃　or　if　you　are　
just　beginning　to　think　seriously　about　what　you　could　do；　you　
have　probably　not　yet　grasped　the　ideas　presented　in　the　
previous　chapters。　You　should　be　aware　that　the　chapters　in　
this　book　resemble　the　individual　pieces　of　a　jigsaw　puzzle。　
Each　chapter　is　related；　one　to　the　other；　in　such　a　way　that　if　
we　put　them　all　together；　we　can　see　the　entire　picture。　Since　
you　are　now　well　into　the　heart　of　the　book；　I　would　ask　you　to　
pay　particularly　close　attention　to　the　ideas　which　follow；　so　
you　can　use　them　to　successfully　tie　all　the　pieces　together。　
You　will　soon　discover　that　if　the　ideas　in　this　chapter　are　
applied　with　intelligence；　Expectation　can　be　the　triggering　
mechanism　which　attracts　into　your　life；　every　good　you　
desire。　However；　if　you　do　not　exercise　extreme　caution；　
Expectation　can　also　turn；　just　as　rapidly；　into　a　destructive；　
lethal　enemy。　Therefore；　you　must　be　cognizant　of　how　you　are　
exercising　this　invisible；　but　powerful；　force。　

I　believe　you　already　understand　you　cannot　have　wealth　
in　your　material　world　until　you　have　first　visualized　the　
wealth　in　your　mind。　But　what　does　this　really　mean？　It　
means　that　before　any　of　us　can　even　begin　to　overcome　the　
poverty　which　surrounds　us　in　our　external　world；　we　must　


first　conquer　the　impoverishment　that　is　buried　deep　within　
ourselves。　

In　the　preceding　pages；　I　explained　how　prosperity…
properly　understood…is　simply　the　inward　awareness　of　the　
opulence；　wholeness　and　completeness　that　abounds　within　
the　spiritual　realm。　In　other　words；　it　is　impossible　to　feel　poor　
when　you　are　conscious　of　being　enveloped　in　the　protective　
care　of　a　loving　God；　universal　spirit；　or　whatever　else　you　may　
wish　to　call　the　spiritual…center　of　our　universe。　Let　me　repeat…
there　never　is；　and　there　never　has　been　any　lack　of　supply　
other　than　that　which　we　have　created　for　ourselves　because　
of　our　own　limited　awareness。　

The　Lightbulb　Tale　

The　following　story　should　help　underscore　this　great　
truth　about　your　infinite　source　of　supply。　Visualize；　if　you　
will；　a　poor　couple　who　have　spent　their　entire　lives　living　in　
the　〃backwaters〃　of　civilization。　Then　imagine　them　suddenly　
transported　to　a　small　village　where；　to　their　astonishment；　
they　discover　that　their　new　home　is　being　lighted　by　
〃electricity。〃　Since　they　have　had　no　previous　experience　with　
that　force…in　fact　they　have　never　even　seen　an　electric　light　
before；　they　are　completely　mesmerized　by　the　little　eight　
candlepower　electric　bulbs　which　light　their　home。　

Several　months　pass　by　and　eventually　the　couple　start　
to　regard　the　light…bulbs　as　an　accepted　facet　of　modern　life。　
However；　one　day　a　smooth…talking　salesman　appears　at　their　
door；　telling　them　their　eight　candlepower　electric　bulbs　are　no　
longer　adequate　for　their　needs。　He　tells　them　they　should　buy　
the　new　sixty　candle…powered　bulbs　which　have　just　〃come　on　
the　market。〃　Since　the　couple　has　now　become　slightly　more　
adventuresome；　they　agree　to　let　the　salesman　demonstrate　
his　〃newfangled〃　product。　As　soon　as　the　new　bulb　is　plugged　
in　and　the　electricity　turned　on；　the　couple　becomes　transfixed　
once　again；　for　not　only　does　the　new　bulb　emit　a　light；　it　
actually　illuminates　the　entire　room。　Never　in　their　wildest　
fantasies　had　the　couple　ever　imagined　that　the　source　of　the　


new　flood　of　illumination　had　been　there　all　the　time。　Nor　had　
they　realized　this　enormously　increased　light　could　originate　
from　the　same　current　which　fed　their　little　eight　candlepower　
bulb。　

It's　strange！　We　smile　at　the　naiveté　demonstrated　by　this　
poor　couple；　but　the　truth　is；　most　of　us　are　even　less　aware　of　
our　own　power；　than　this　couple　was　of　the　power　of　electric　
current。　For　like　the　couple　in　the　story；　we　never　even　dream　
that　the　infinite　current　which　surrounds　us　could　flood　our　
lives　with　a　light　more　magnificent　than　the　most　powerful　
light　bulb　ever　devised。　We　never　grasp　the　simple　truth　that　
all　we　need　to　do　to　improve　our　results　is　to　plug　a　larger；　
more　prosperous　idea　into　the　infinite　current　of　life。　Instead；　
most　of　us　strangle　our　supply　with　energy…impoverished　
thoughts　of　doubt　and　fear；　which　entirely　cutoff　the　inflow　of　
prosperity。　

I　want　to　exhort　you；　therefore；　to　resolve　to　change　your　
habitual　pat
