This is a true classic!! I believe this is the base of all the modern self help/belief/new thought genre.. The author James Allen published this book in the year of 1902.This book has got everything a person might need to live his life completely!! Hats off to Mr Allen. What a book!! I am just going to write some of the phrases from this book. Do read this classic.
Only by much searching and mining are gold an diamonds obtained, and man can find every truth connected
with his being if he will dig deep into the mine of his soul.
Circumstance does not make the man; it reveals him to himself.
You cannot travel within and stand still without.
You will be what you will to be;
Let failure find its false content
In that poor word, "environment,"
But spirit scorns it, and is free.
It masters time, it conquers space;
It cows that boastful trickster, Chance,
And bids the tyrant Circumstance
Uncrown, and fill a servant's place.
The human Will, that force unseen,
The offspring of a deathless Soul,
Can hew a way to any goal,
Though walls of granite intervene.
Be not impatient in delay,
But wait as one who understands;
When spirit rises and commands,
The gods are ready to obey.
There can be no progress, no achievement without sacrifice, and a man's worldly success will be in the measure that he sacrifices his confused animal thoughts, and fixes his mind on the development of his plans, and the strengthening of his resolution and self reliance.
