“After a week or two you should be able to perform the technique for twenty minutes without your mind wandering onto other subjects. This will be your first indication that you are taking back control of the fortress of your mind. It will then focus only on what you command it to focus on. It will then be a wonderful servant, able to do extraordinary things for you.

Remember, either you control your mind or it controls you.

Never forget that there is power in silence and stillness.

when an undesirable thought occupies the focal point of your mind, immediately replace it with an uplifting one.

Self-knowledge is the stepping stone to self-mastery.

the quality of your thinking determines the quality of your life.

If you want to live life to the fullest, care for your thoughts as you would your most prized possessions.

Einstein said that ‘imagination is more important than knowledge.’ You must spend some time every day, even if it is just a few minutes, in the practice of creative envisioning. See yourself as you want to be,

life. If you want to be the world’s best father, envision yourself laughing and playing with your kids, responding to their questions with an open heart. Picture yourself acting gracefully and lovingly in a tense situation. Mentally rehearse the way you will govern your actions when a similar scene unfolds on the canvas of reality.

‘There is nothing noble about being superior to some other person. True nobility lies in being superior to your former self.’ All I’m really getting at is that if you want to improve your life and live with all that you deserve you must run your own race. It doesn’t matter what other people say about you. What is important is what you say to yourself.

you must run your own race. It doesn’t matter what other people say about you. What is important is what you say to yourself. Do not be concerned with the judgment of others as long as you know what you are doing is right.

‘Every second you spend thinking about someone else’s dreams you take time away from your own.’

your tiredness was nothing more than a mental creation, a bad habit your mind has cultivated to act as a crutch when you are performing a tedious task.

the real source of happiness can be stated in a word: achievement.

my objectives are to attain peace of mind, self-mastery and enlightenment.

those things that are most important should never be sacrificed to those things that are the least important.
