00:01We become what we think about
00:05We become what we think about
00:10We become what we think about
00:15Now let me say that again
00:17We become what we think about
00:21Throughout all history the great wise men and teachers, philosophers and prophets have disagreed with one another on many different things
00:29It is only on this one point that they are in complete and unanimous agreement
00:35Listen to what Marcus Aurelius, the great Roman Emperor said
00:38He said, a man's life is what his thoughts make of it
00:42A man's life is what his thoughts make of it
00:45Disraeli said this
00:47Everything comes if a man will only wait
00:50I have brought myself by long meditation to the conviction that a human being with a settled purpose must accomplish it
00:57And that nothing can resist a will that will stay even existence for its fulfillment
01:03We become what we think about
01:10We become what we think about
01:16We become what we think about
01:21Now let me say that again
01:23We become what we think about
01:27Ralph Waldo Emerson said this
01:30A man is what he thinks about all day long
01:34William James said
01:36The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind
01:44And he also said
01:45We need only in cold blood act as if the thing in question were real
01:50And it will become infallibly real by growing into such a connection with our life
01:55That it will become real
01:57It will become so knit with habit and emotion that our interest in it will be those which characterize belief
02:03He also said this
02:06If you only care enough for a result
02:08You will almost certainly attain it
02:11If you wish to be rich
02:13You will be rich
02:14If you wish to be learned
02:16You will be learned
02:17If you wish to be good
02:18You will be good
02:20Only you must then really wish these things
02:25And wish them exclusively
02:27And not wish at the same time
02:30A hundred other incompatible things
02:32Just as strong
02:34We become
02:35What we think about
02:38We become
02:41What we think about
02:43We become
02:46What we think about
02:48Now let me say that again
02:50We become
02:51What we think about

02:57In Mark 9 23
02:59If thou canst believe
03:01All things are possible
03:03To him that believe in
03:05Dr. Norman Vincent Peale said this
03:08This is one of the greatest laws in the universe
03:11Fervently do I wish I had discovered it as a very young man
03:14It dawned upon me much later in life
03:16And I found it to be one of the greatest
03:18If not my greatest discovery
03:20Outside of my relationship to God
03:22And the great law briefly and simply stated is that if you think in negative terms
03:26You will get negative results
03:28If you think in positive terms
03:30You will achieve positive results
03:32That is the simple fact
03:34Which is at the basis of an astonishing law of prosperity and success
03:37In three words
03:39Believe and succeed
03:41Believe and succeed
03:43Believe and succeed
