If the people have the Advancing Mind, have the Faith that they
can become rich, and move forward with the fixed purpose to
become rich, nothing can possibly keep them in poverty.
Individuals may enter upon the Certain Way at any time, and
under any government, and make themselves rich; and when
any considerable number of individuals do so under any
government, they will cause the system to be so modified as to
open the way for others.
The more people who get rich on the competitive plane, the
worse for others; the more who get rich on the creative plane,
the better for others.
But remember that your thought must be held upon the creative
plane; you are never for an instant to be betrayed into regarding
the supply as limited, or into acting on the moral level of
competition.
When others are having hard times and poor business, you will
find your greatest opportunities.
But if you hold to your faith you will find that the failure is only
apparent.
That is the way every seeming failure will work out for you, if
you keep your faith, hold to your purpose, have gratitude, and
do, every day, all that can be done that day, doing each separate
act in a successful manner.
When you make a failure, it is because you have not asked for
enough; keep on, and a larger thing than you were seeking will
certainly come to you. Remember this.
You will not fail because you lack the necessary talent to do
what you wish to do. If you go on as I have directed, you will
develop all the talent that is necessary to the doing of your
work.
It is not within the scope of this book to deal with the science of
cultivating talent; but it is as certain and simple as the process
of getting rich.
However, do not hesitate or waver for fear that when you come
to any certain place you will fail for lack of ability; keep right
on, and when you come to that place, the ability will be
furnished to you. The same source of Ability which enabled the
untaught Lincoln to do the greatest work in government ever
accomplished by a single man is open to you; you may draw
upon all the mind there is for wisdom to use in meeting the
responsibilities which are laid upon you. Go on in full faith.
