Everyone's Limitations Are Self-Imposed

ONE OF THE GREATEST causes of unhappiness is nothing but a myth, or a false belief.

It is the belief that your life is the result of outside influences, and that most of us have little or no control over the circumstances of our lives.

It is strange that this is so, because the one point every great philosopher and teacher who ever lived agrees upon is that our lives are but the outward manifestation of our inner thoughts and attitudes.

MOST OF US FEEL that there are limits imposed upon us by some “unseen force.”

“I could never have that,” or “I’d never be able to do those things,” are frequent thoughts.

It’s true that there are limits to what we can have or do, but they are limits we impose upon ourselves with our own minds.

IN MY OPINION THE greatest single achievement in the entire history of sports was Roger Bannister’s running of the mile in less than four minutes. Every authority on track and field and every great runner believed this to be impossible.

All this negative conditioning his mind had been subjected to, had to be overcome and erased.

He had to deny the belief that a limit existed, and then he had to be able to conceive himself as succeeding, and believe he could achieve it

THUS WE ARRIVE at the statement: “Whatever a man can conceive, and believe, he can achieve.”

The purpose of this series of articles is to prove this statement, and to show you methods that will make your daily living happier and your life much more interesting and fulfilling.

I am absolutely convinced that this can be done quite easily, and this conviction is the result of true experiences. (During the last ten years I have seen the application of simple principles, or natural laws, change the lives of hundreds of men who were without hope, as I will explain later.)

IT DOESN’T MAKE any difference what your circumstances are at this moment; they can be changed.

You have the power within you right now to accomplish it.

If you happen to be in poor health, you will begin to see an immediate improvement. If your financial condition is poor, you will learn how to attract abundance to you. If you seem to be depressed much of the time, your friends will hardly recognize you with the cheerful air of optimism that will be yours at all times.

THERE IS NOT a condition or a circumstance that won’t be improved to your satisfaction, as amazing as it may sound to you now.

How can I make statements like these with so much assurance ? Because the methods I will give you are based on NATURAL LAWS AND PRINCIPLES, there is no margin for error.

It covers profound and dynamic truths conveyed in a few potent words that kindle a renewed sense of awareness of our limitless latent inner resources waiting to burst into the open. It comprises practical expressions that have the potential to bring success, health, wealth and enduring happiness.

They weren’t thought up by any human being; they were simply discovered, and so they work one hundred percent of the time for anyone who cares to put them into practice.

WHY AREN’T THEY more universally used ? Probably because these laws are so simple, they are often clouded in intellectual terms and the great truths behind them are lost.

The only thing necessary to effect a change in a person’s life is desire for change. In fact, if your desire for a change for the better isn’t very strong (and this is true with many people) we will show you how a desire can be created.

Furthermore, these principles are no respecter of persons. It does not matter what your present position in life is, they will work for you exactly the same as they will work for everyone else. You will find that nothing that has happened to you in the past will have any influence on what will happen to you from now on !

PERHAPS YOU ARE satisfied with the type of life you are now leading. If you are, I suggest that you do not follow these articles.

I say this very sincerely, because once you get a glimpse of the vistas that will open up to you, you will find that life has much more to offer than you thought possible.

Therefore, you no longer will be content to go along as you have been.

IN SUBSEQUENT articles I will tell how some of the most desperate convicts in the world turned their lives around by applying these simple principles, and how you can apply them to your lives.

We will discover the methods the ancient sages used to overcome undesirable habits, (which makes stopping cigarette smoking painless and easy).

We can use these teachings to remove any limits we feel have been placed upon us by an “unkind world,” to remove guilt feelings as well as feelings of hatred and resentment towards others, and much more.

THESE TEACHINGS make the world the wonderful place to live in it was meant to be.
