Introduction.
Many words have been written and spoken over the years about personal development. In my capacity as a personal developmentstudent, I have over the past 17 years listened to and read many of them. I have studied and digested the insights of many experts andhave formed my own opinions based upon that information.Every author gives his or her own different slant to the story and I amno exception. I feel it is important to read as many different viewpointsas we can. One day, someone’s slightly different opinion, may bring usthat “insight” that we have been searching for!During my studies I have felt the need to put pen to paper in order toorganise my thoughts. The pages that follow are my own thoughts,impressions and insights into that all pervading question: -“Why do some people move forward in life, achieving all their dreams,happiness and material wealth, spiritual harmony and inner peace whileothers perhaps more talented, fall by the wayside?”The answer is very simple. Too simple for many to comprehend!However, with persistence and a desire to learn, I have found my ownanswer, part of which I would like to share with you now. Only youwill know when you have grasped the great “secret” and you will probably kick yourself for not seeing it sooner! Nature displays the“secret” everywhere and that self-same power can come to your aid indeveloping the life you have always wanted.
(Before we go on I would like to give you a small clue to the “secret” power: -“All thought has a tendency to manifest, or transform itself into its physical equivalent!”)
