This book is written to help you understand that we all have the potential within for happiness and success. This is your right, but you have to decide and choose for yourself; no one can do it for you. We can rise, conquer, and achieve happiness and success by lifting and controlling our thoughts. We're limited only by the thoughts we choose and are made or unmade by these thoughts. Why are some people so happy and successful? They think they are-it's that simple!-and are willing to put forth the effort to achieve their goals. They're not working harder; they're combining thoughts with abilities, which we all have. Look at the businessmen or the athletes. They're good businessmen and athletes because they use their abilities and do okay. Now look at the great businessmen and athletes. They combine thought with their abilities and rise to greatness. They always think positively and see themselves doing great things. They won't let negative people and thoughts bring them down. Remember, we are what we think we are. The vision and thoughts that you glorify, the ideas that you cherish in your heart-this you must build your life around; this you will become. In all human affairs, there are results, and the strength of the effort is the measure of the results.
