“This book is for the men arid women, young or old, who wish to make the most of life by making the most of themselves. I have tried to show plainly, simply, and without unnecessary words, the way to power and capability; it is written so that he who runs may read. I know that the system herein set forth will work; it cannot fail. And I know that the men and women who practice these methods of action with sincere hearts will enter into the powerful life; they will be the children of the Highest, and stand among the great ones of the world. I hope you who read this will be among them… No mere reading of books can develop a great personality; nothing can make you great but thought; therefore think, Think, THINK”
This book was written almost 100 years ago, but it still inspires today. Wattles notes that, "When awakened, man becomes a son of the Highest and all power is given to him in heaven and on earth." He notes you can become what you want to be by virtue of your thoughts.
He also explains that wisdom is the essential basis of greatness and that man can receive wisdom from God. He includes an entire chapter on a mental exercise that helps you to connect with God and thus realize your highest potential.
One concept that particularly changed my perspective is his submission that to become "great," you must start by doing small things in great ways. So he says to begin today to be great in your own home and office...in all relations, be just, generous, courteous and kind. When you begin to do even small things in a great way, you will eventually be able to do bigger things in a great way. Your habit of deliberately thinking and acting in the best way you know how will cause you to continually grow until you become a great person.
This is a very quick read, but a very inspiring one. I would recommend it to anyone who aspires to be a better person.
