We become what we think about
00:05
We become what we think about
00:10
We become what we think about
00:15
Now let me say that again
00:17
We become what we think about
00:21
Throughout all history the great wise men and teachers, philosophers and prophets have disagreed with one another on many different things
00:29
It is only on this one point that they are in complete and unanimous agreement
00:35
Listen to what Marcus Aurelius, the great Roman Emperor said
00:38
He said, a man's life is what his thoughts make of it
00:42
A man's life is what his thoughts make of it
00:45
Disraeli said this
00:47
Everything comes if a man will only wait
00:50
I have brought myself by long meditation to the conviction that a human being with a settled purpose must accomplish it
00:57
And that nothing can resist a will that will stay even existence for its fulfillment
01:03
We become what we think about
01:10
We become what we think about
01:16
We become what we think about
01:21
Now let me say that again
01:23
We become what we think about
01:27
Ralph Waldo Emerson said this
01:30
A man is what he thinks about all day long
01:34
William James said
01:36
The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind
01:44
And he also said
01:45
We need only in cold blood act as if the thing in question were real
01:50
And it will become infallibly real by growing into such a connection with our life
01:55
That it will become real
01:57
It will become so knit with habit and emotion that our interest in it will be those which characterize belief
02:03
He also said this
02:06
If you only care enough for a result
02:08
You will almost certainly attain it
02:11
If you wish to be rich
02:13
You will be rich
02:14
If you wish to be learned
02:16
You will be learned
02:17
If you wish to be good
02:18
You will be good
02:20
Only you must then really wish these things
02:25
And wish them exclusively
02:27
And not wish at the same time
02:30
A hundred other incompatible things
02:32
Just as strong
02:34
We become
02:35
What we think about
02:38
We become
02:41
What we think about
02:43
We become
02:46
What we think about
02:48
Now let me say that again
02:50
We become
02:51
What we think about
02:54
In the Bible you read
02:57
In Mark 9 23
02:59
If thou canst believe
03:01
All things are possible
03:03
To him that believe in
03:05
Dr. Norman Vincent Peale said this
03:08
This is one of the greatest laws in the universe
03:11
Fervently do I wish I had discovered it as a very young man
03:14
It dawned upon me much later in life
03:16
And I found it to be one of the greatest
03:18
If not my greatest discovery
03:20
Outside of my relationship to God
03:22
And the great law briefly and simply stated is that if you think in negative terms
03:26
You will get negative results
03:28
If you think in positive terms
03:30
You will achieve positive results
03:32
That is the simple fact
03:34
Which is at the basis of an astonishing law of prosperity and success
03:37
In three words
03:39
Believe and succeed
03:41
Believe and succeed
