Where fear controls

Where fear controls, noteworthy achievement becomes an impossibility. You are condemning yourself on toward the heights of great achievement, soley by the thoughts you think.  If you demand success of yourself, and also back up this demand with intelligent action, you ae sure to win. Bear in mind, though, that there is a difference between demanding success and just merely wishing for it. You should find out what this difference is and take advantage of it.

Nevermind “what they will say,” because you might as well know that “they” will be of little aid to you in your climb up the mountain side of life toward the object of your definite purpose.

You have within you all the power necessary to get whatever you want or need in this world, and about the best way to avail yourself of the power is to believe in yourself.
