GREAT THINGS ARE HAPPEN

                  GREAT THINGS ARE HAPPEN ONLY OUR THOUGHTS

                                                        👀👀👀👀👀👀

                 GREATNESS IS ATTAINED ONLY BY THE THINKING OF GREAT THOUGHTS. WE CAN NEVER BECOME GREAT IN OUTWARD PERSONALITY UNLESS WE ARE GREAT INTERNALLY, AND WE CANNOT BE GREAT INTERNALLY UNTIL WE THINK. NO AMOUNT OF EDUCATION, READING, OR STUDY CAN MAKE YOU GREAT WITHOUT THOUGHT, BUT THOUGHT CAN MAKE GREAT WITH VERY LITTLE STUDY. THERE ARE ALTOGETHER TOO MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE TRYING TO MAKE SOMETHING OF THEMSELVES BY READING BOOKS WITHOUT THINKING. ALL SUCH WILL FAILL. YOU ARE NOT MENTALLY DEVELOPED BY WHAT YOU READ, BUT BY WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU READ.

                 THINKING IS THE HARDEST AND MOST EXHAUSTING OF ALL LABOR AND HENCE MANY PEOPLE SHRINK FROM IT. GOD HAS SO FORMED US THAT WE ARE CONTINUOUSLY IMPELLED TO THOUGHT.  WE MUST EITHER THINK OR ENGAGE IN SOME ACTIVITY TO ESCAPE THOUGHT. THE HEADLONG, CONTINUOS CHASE FOR PLEASURE IN WHICH MOST PEOPLE SPEND ALL THEIR LEISURE TIME IS ONLY AN EFFORT TO ESCAPE THOUGHT. IF THEY ARE ALONE, OR IF THEY HAVE NOTHING AMUSING TO TAKE THEIR ATTENTION, AS A NOVEL TO READ OR A SHOW TO SEE, THEY MUST THINK, AND TO ESCAPE FROM THINKING THEY RESORT TO SEE, THEY MUST THINK, AND TO ESCAPE FROM THINKING THEY RESORT TO NOVELS, TELEVISIONS SIT-COMS, AND ALL THE ENDLESS DEVICES OF THE PURVEYORS OF AMUSEMENT. MOST PEOPLE SPEND THE GREATER PART OF THEIR LEISURE TIME RUNNING AWAY FORM THOUGHT, HENCE THEY ARE WHERE THEY ARE. WE NEVER MOVE FORWARD UNTIL WE BEGIN TO THINK.

THINKING, NOT MERE KNOWLEDGE OR INFORMATION MAKES PERSONALITY. THINKING IS GROWTH, YOU CANNOT THINK WIHOUT GROWING. EVERY THOUGHT ENGENDERS ANOTHER THOUGHT. WRITE ONE IDEA AND OTHERS WILL FOLLOW UNTIL YOU HAVE WRITTEN A PAGE, YOU CANNOT FATHOM YOUR OWN MIND, IT HAS NEITHER BOTTOM A PAGE. YOU CANNOT FATHOM YOUR OWN MIND, IT HAS NEITHER BOTTOM NOR BOUNDARIES. YOUR FIRST THOUGHT MAY BE CRUDE, BUT AS YOU GO ON THINKING YOU WILL USE MORE AND MORE OF YOURSELF, YOU WILL QUIKEN NEW BRAIN CELLS INTO ACTIVITY AND YOU WILL DEVELOP NEW FACULTIES. HEREDITY, ENVIRONMENT, CIRCUMSTANCE - ALL THINGS MUST GIVE WAY BEFORE YOU IF YOU PRACTICE SUSTAINED AND CONTINUED THOUGHT. BUT, ON THE OTHER HAND, IF YOU NEGLACE TO THINK FOR YOURSELF AND ONLY USE OTHER PEPLE'S THOUGHT, YOU WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU ARE CAPABLE OF, AND YOU WILL END BY BEING INCAPABLE OF ANYTHING.

THERE CAN BE NO REAL GREATNESS WITHOUT ORIGINAL THOUGHT. ALL THAT WE DO OUTWARDLY IS THE EXPRESSION AND COMPLETION OF OUR INWARD THINKING. NO ACTION IS POSSIBLE WITHOUT THOUGHT, AND NO GREAT ACTION IS POSSIBLE UNTIL A GREAT THOUGHT HAS PRECEEDED IT. ACTION IS THE SECOND FORM OF THOUGHT, AND PERSONALITY IS THE MATERIALIZATION OF THOUGHT. ENVIRONMENT IS THE RESULT OF THOUGHT, THINGS GROUP THEMSELVES OR ARRAGE THEMSELVES AROUND YO ACCORDING TO YOUR THOUGHT. THERE IS SOME CONTRAL IDEA OR CONCEPTION OF YOURSELF BY WHICH ALL THE FACTS OF YOUR LIFE ARE ARRANGED AND CLASSIFIED. CHANGE THIS CENTRAL IDEA AND YOU CHANGE THE ARRAGEMENT AND CLASSIFICATION OF ALL THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES OF YOUR LIFE. YOU ARE WHAT YOU ARE BECAUSE YOU THINK AS YOU DO. YOU ARE WHERE YOU ARE BECAUSE YOU THINK AS YOU DO.

YOU SEE THEN THE IMMENSE IMPORTANCE OF THINKING ABOUT THE GREAT ESSENTIALS SET FORTH IN THE PRECEDING CHAPTERS. YOU MUST NOT ACCEPT THEM IN ANY SUPERFICIAL WY, YOU MUST THINK ABOUT THEM UNTIL THEY ARE A PART OF YOUR CENTRAL IDEA. GO BACK TO THE MATTE OF THE POINT OF VIEW AND CONSIDER, IN ALL ITS BEARINGS, THE TREMENDOUS THOUGHT THAT YOU LIVE IN A PERFECT WORLD AMONG PERFECT PEOPLE, AND THAT NOTHING, CAN POSSIBLY BE WRONG WITH YOU BUT YOUR OWN PERSONAL ATTITUDE. THINK ABOUT ALL THIS UNTIL YOU FULLY REALIZE ALL THAT IT MEANS TO YOU. CONSIDER THAT THIS IS GOD'S WORLD AND THAT IT IS THE BEST OF ALL POSSIBLE WORLDS. HE HAS BROUGHT IT THUS FAR TOWARD COMPLETION BY THE PROCESSESS OF ORGANIC, SOCIAL, AND INDUSTRIAL EVOLUTION, AND THAT IT IS GOING ON TO GREATER COMPLETENESS AND HARMONY. CONSIDER THAT THERE IS ONE GREAT, PERFECT, INTELLIGENT PRINCIPLES OF LIFE AND POWER, CAUSING ALL THE CHANGING PHENOMENA OF THE COSMOS. THINK ABOUT ALL THIS UNTIL YOU SEE THAT IT IS TRUE, AND UNTIL YOU COMPREHEND HOW YOU SHOULD LIVE AND ACT AS A CITIZEN OF SUCH A PERFECT WHOLE.

NEXT, THINK OF THW WONDERFUL TRUTH THAT THIS GREAT INTELLIGENCE IS IN YOU.  IT IS YOUR OWN INTELLEGENCE, IT IS AN INNER LIGHT IMPELLING YOU TOWARD THE RIGHT THING AND THE BEST THING, THE GREATEST ACT, AND THE HIGHEST HAPPINESS. IT IS A PRINCIPLE OF POWER INYOU, GIVING YOU ALL THE ABILITY AND GENIUS THERE IS. I WILL INFALLIBLY GUIDE YOU TO THE BEST IF YOU WILL SUBMIT TO IT AND WALK IN THE LIGHT. CONSIDER WHAT IS MEANT BY YOUR CONSECRATION OF YOURSELF WHEN YOU SAY, I WILL OBEY MY SOUL, THIS IS A  SENTENCES OF TREMENDOUS MEANING, IT MUST REVOLUTIONIZE THE ATTITUDE AND BEHAVIOUR OF THE AVERAGE PERSON.

                            HENRY FORD WAS ONE OF THE GREAT INNOVATORS OF MODERN TIMES. NOT ONLY DID HE MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR MOST EVERYONE TO OWN AN AUTOMOBILE, BUT BY MAKING THE MOST OF THE INTELLIGENCE GOD GAVE HIM, HE REVOLUTIONIZED THE ENTIRE SYSTEM OF MANUFACTURING BY INTRODUCING THE MASS PRODUCTION SYSTEM.

                  JUST AS FORD REVOLUTIONIZED MANUFACTURING, STEVE JOBS REVOLUTIONEZED THE COMPUTER INDUSTRY, WHEN HE FOUNDED APPLE COMPUTER, HIS IDEA TO CREATE A PERSONAL COMPUTER THAT WOULD BE USED BY SMALL BUSINESS AND BY INDIVIDUALS IN THEIR HOMES. MOST EXPERTS IN THE FIELD SCOFFED AT THIS IDEA. AFTER ALL, COMPUTER WERE TOO COMPLEX FOR ANY BUT TECHNOCRATS TO UNDERSTAND AND OPERATE. BUT STEVE LISTENED TO HIS "INNER LIGHT" AND PERSISTED, OPENING A WHOLE NEW VISTA IN THE COMPUTER FIELD.
