“We must be the epitome -the embodiment- of success. We must radiate success before it will come to us. We must first become mentally, from an attitude standpoint, the people we wish to become.” Earl Nightingale

Secrets for Higher Success

Happiness is yours in the here and now. The painful states of anxiety and loneliness are abolished permanently. Financial affairs are not financial problems. You are at ease with yourself. You are not at the mercy of unfulfilled cravings. Confusion is replaced with clarity. There is a relieving answer to every tormenting question. You possess a True Self. Something can be done about every unhappy condition. While living in the world you can be inwardly detached from its sorrows to live with personal peace and sanity.

The absorption of these teachings creates an amazingly agile mind. No longer tied to hardened habits, it leaps like a skilled athlete from one situation to the next, handling all with ease. Having no self-centeredness, such a mind wastes no time and energy wondering how a situation might be hurtful or beneficial. Having no interference from anxious thoughts, it simply acts. When meeting a troubled person it acts wisely by not falling under the influence of the other person’s gloom. When needing a new chair it simply buys a new chair it can afford without regretfully wishing it could afford a better chair. When confronted by a new challenge it walks right into it and out again, unharmed, for it knows that harm comes only by fearing the challenge.
