consciousness and then mould it into an image of yourself in a
much more abundant state of life。 See yourself already in
possession of what you previously only dreamed of。 Bee
extremely conscious of the truth that your entire being is not
only filled with； but also is surrounded by； the original
substance all images are made of。 So do not just keep reading
page after page of the book without acting on the 〃suggestions〃
which I have been giving you。
In the introduction to this book； and then again in the
first chapter； we emphasized the fact that； no amount of
reading or memorizing will make you successful in life。 It is
the understanding and application of wise thought which
counts。 Understanding and application are the keys which will
unlock the door to a truly abundant life。
It would be very tempting for you to flip from one page or
idea to the next； thinking； 〃I know this； I know that。〃 However；
let me remind you； it makes no difference how accurately you
can parrot back these concepts。 In fact； you might even be
able to recite them verbatim。 Nevertheless； if you are not
witnessing the results in your own life of the good you desire；
you simply do not understand the powerand in fact the
necessityof acting on these ideas。 Therefore； make the time
right now； this very minute； to build the image in your mind of
yourself already in possession of prosperity。 Write a brief
description of your image on a card； carry it in your pocket
and read it every day； a number of times； until the image fills
your consciousness。
Begin your written statement with：
I am so happy。 I now see myself with：

Be good to yourself。 Treat yourself to the very best life
has to offer。 Remember； quality is not expensive； it's priceless！
Let Go and Let God
〃Something wonderful is happening。〃
John Kanary
The Personal Coach
How many times have you been faced with what
appeared to be an insurmountable problem and you silently
wished you could 〃turn it over〃 to somebody else for a
solution。 Or have you ever sat day dreamingbuilding
magnificent images on the screen of your mindwishing you
had a certain sum of money； wanting to take a trip to some
exotic place； or possibly hoping to be able to purchase the
automobile you have always wanted？ Wouldn't it be fantastic if
there was some 〃magic formula〃 that would give us the things
we want and permit us to live the way we choose？ Well there
is； and it has been around since time began。 Therefore； you
can have the things you wantall of themand you will have
them if you will only make the ideas in this book a part of your
way of thinking； a part of your way of life。
Make up your mind to read this chapter over and over
100 times if necessary until you feel deep inside that you
really prehend the idea being expressed。 For if you fail to
grasp the idea presented to you in this chapter； the rest of the
book will be of little value to you。 However； once you do
understand this chapter； it will be as if a tremendous light has
gone on in your mindtruly illuminating your lifeand you will
realize you will never again be the same person you once were。
No person； thing； or circumstance will intimidate you ever
again。 Your days of idlewishing will be brought to a halt。
Happiness； health and prosperity will follow you all the days of
your life and you will spend the rest of your years wanting to
share your new understanding with everyone and anyone who
is willing to take the time to listen and learn。
Be aware； however； that many of the people whom you
try to share your new awareness with are simply not ready for
it。 In fact； nine out of ten people will laugh and tell others you
are odd； when you have shared your formulaLet Go And Let
Godwith them。 You must realize this is because the vast
majority of people whom you encounter every day； treat God
like some cosmic bellboy； who is supposed to run and fetch
and then deliver。 These individuals erroneously believe that
merely because a person verbalizes certain thoughts in their
mind〃God please get me this；〃 or 〃God give me that；〃 they
will receive what they have asked for。 But unfortunately； these
people do not understand the true nature of prayer and what
is even more tragicthey don't even know； that they don't
know！
Potential Is Everywhere Always
Understand this everything you see in this universe；
yourself included； is nothing but the expression of an infinite
power。 This power is forever flowing into and through you。
Scientists will tell you that everything is energy。 I choose to
say that everything is Spirit。 Let Go And Let God。
For centuries there has been a select group of people who
are the real thinkers。 These individuals have always known
there is a power which permeates； perates and fills the
interspaces of the cosmos； and that everything you see around
you is an expression of that power。 The power operates in a
very precise manner； which is generally called law。 In other
words； everything es from one source； and that source
power always flows and works to and through the individual
that is you。 Stated slightly differently； the image that you have
formed can only e to you on the physical plane of life （your
results） in one way； and that way is By Law and through
Faith。
The Mormon religion has a scripture in its Doctrine and
Covenants which demonstrates this point extremely well； and
although I am not a Mormon myself； I have grown to love these
lines：
〃There is a law； irrevocably decreed in heaven
before the foundations of this world upon which all
blessings are predicated。
And when we obtain any blessing from God； it
is by obedience to that law upon which it is
predicated。〃
D & C 130：2021
The more you study this scripture； the more you will
appreciate just how perfect it is。 The more you understand its
truth； the easier it will be for you to improve the quality of
your life。
Clarence Smithison's Story
A number of years ago； when I was working in Chicago；
Illinois； I became close friends with a man by the name of
Clarence Smithison。 Since Clarence is not a celebrity； by any
means； I am sure you have never heard his name before。 In
fact； he is such a modest； selfeffacing person； that if he were
to walk into a room crowded with people； you would probably
not even notice him。 Nevertheless； there is a certain
indefinable spark in Clarence Smithison which makes him one
of the most remarkable individuals I have ever had the
pleasure to know。 In an attempt to identify this elusive quality；
I have e up with the following hypothesis： Clarence
Smithison incorporates； within his very being； the principle
upon which this entire chapter is basednamely； if a person
will let go and let God （i。e。 have faith that whatever must
happen for him to achieve his goal； will indeed occur）； all
things bee possible。
One day I confronted Clarence and asked him to share
with me his view of faith and more specifically； his explanation
