- 0:00Speaker 1: When the real troubles come. You can do as much
- 0:10Speaker 1: as you think you can, but you'll never accomplish more.
- 0:16Speaker 1: If you're afraid of yourself, young man, there's little for
- 0:21Speaker 1: you in store. For Failure comes from the inside first.
- 0:31Speaker 1: It's there if we only knew it, and you can win,
- 0:36Speaker 1: though you face the worst, if you feel that you're
- 0:39Speaker 1: going to do it. In the beginning, this earth was
- 0:46Speaker 1: just the fire mist. Some way there came to this
- 0:54Speaker 1: planet the germ of life. For millions of years, this
- 1:04Speaker 1: life term was threatened by every kind of danger, from floods,
- 1:11Speaker 1: from earthquakes, from droughts, from desert heat, from glacial cold,
- 1:16Speaker 1: from volcanic eruptions. But to it, each new danger was
- 1:20Speaker 1: merely an incentive to finding a new resource, to putting
- 1:24Speaker 1: forth life in some new shape. We see its unlimited
- 1:30Speaker 1: resourcefulness shown in a thousand ways to escape danger. In
- 1:35Speaker 1: the water, it sought land, pursued on land. It took
- 1:40Speaker 1: to the air to breathe. In the sea, it developed gills.
- 1:50Speaker 1: Stranded on land, it perfected lungs to meet one kind
- 1:57Speaker 1: of danger. It grew a shell for another, a sting.
- 2:04Speaker 1: But ever from the beginning it showed its power to
- 2:07Speaker 1: meet every changing condition, to answer every creature need. Had
- 2:13Speaker 1: it been possible to kill this life idea, it would
- 2:16Speaker 1: have perished ages ago. But obstacles, misfortunes, cataclysms were to
- 2:24Speaker 1: it merely new opportunities to assert its power. In fact,
- 2:29Speaker 1: it required obstacles to awaken it, to show its energy
- 2:33Speaker 1: and resource. The great reptiles, the monster beasts of antiquity
- 2:39Speaker 1: passed on, but the life principle stayed, changing as each
- 2:45Speaker 1: age changed, always developing, always improving. Unlimited life, No other
- 2:58Speaker 1: force can defeat it, no obstacle can hold it back.
- 3:05Speaker 1: Life is dynamic, not static. It is ever moving forward,
- 3:11Speaker 1: not standing still. The one unpardonable sin of nature is
- 3:17Speaker 1: to stand still, to stagnate in all nature, to cease
- 3:24Speaker 1: to grow is to perish. The terror of the man
- 3:30Speaker 1: at the crossways, not knowing which road to take will
- 3:33Speaker 1: be no terror to you. Your future is of your
- 3:36Speaker 1: own making, For the only law of infinite energy is
- 3:41Speaker 1: the law of supply. The life principle is your principle.
- 3:50Speaker 1: To survive, to win through, to triumphantly surmount all obstacles
- 3:55Speaker 1: has been its everyday practice since the beginning of time.
- 4:01Speaker 1: It is no less resourceful now than ever it was.
- 4:06Speaker 1: You have but to supply the urge to work in
- 4:09Speaker 1: harmony with it, to get from anything you may need.
- 4:14Speaker 1: For If this life principle is so strong in the
- 4:17Speaker 1: lowest forms of animal life that it can develop a
- 4:19Speaker 1: shell or poison to meet a need, how much more
- 4:25Speaker 1: can it do for you, a reasoning, rational being with
- 4:29Speaker 1: a mind able to work with this life principle, with
- 4:32Speaker 1: an energy and an initiative to urge it. On the
- 4:40Speaker 1: evidence of this is all about you take up some
- 4:49Speaker 1: violent form of exercise. In the beginning, your muscles are weak,
- 4:57Speaker 1: easily tired. But keep on for a few days. The
- 5:03Speaker 1: life principle promptly strengthens them, toughens them to meet their
- 5:08Speaker 1: new need. Do rough manual labor, and what happens the
- 5:17Speaker 1: skin of your hands becomes tender. Keep it up, and
- 5:20Speaker 1: does the skin all wear off? On the contrary, the
- 5:29Speaker 1: life principle provides extra thicknesses, extra toughness, callouses, we call them,
- 5:35Speaker 1: to meet your need. All through your daily life you
- 5:43Speaker 1: will find this life principle steadily at work. Embrace it,
- 5:48Speaker 1: work with it, take it to yourself, and there is
- 5:51Speaker 1: nothing you cannot do. The mere fact that you have
- 5:58Speaker 1: obstacles to overcome is in your favor. For when there
- 6:03Speaker 1: is nothing to be done, when things run along too smoothly,
- 6:09Speaker 1: this life principle seems to sleep. It is when you
- 6:14Speaker 1: need it, when you call upon it urgently, that it
- 6:17Speaker 1: is most on the job. As long as things run smoothly,
- 6:24Speaker 1: as long as life flows along like a song, this
- 6:29Speaker 1: life principle seems to slumber, secure in the knowledge that
- 6:33Speaker 1: your affairs can take care of themselves. But let things
- 6:37Speaker 1: start going wrong, let ruin and disgrace stare you in
- 6:41Speaker 1: the face. Then is the time this life principle will
- 6:46Speaker 1: assert itself if you but give it a chance. There
- 6:53Speaker 1: is a napoleonic feeling of power that ensures success in
- 6:57Speaker 1: the knowledge that this invisible life principle is behind your
- 7:01Speaker 1: every act. Knowing that you have working with you a
- 7:06Speaker 1: force which never yet has failed in anything it has undertaken,
- 7:12Speaker 1: you can go ahead into confident knowledge that it will
- 7:14Speaker 1: not fail in your case either. The ingenuity which overcame
- 7:21Speaker 1: every obstacle in making you what you are, is not
- 7:25Speaker 1: likely to fall short when you have immediate need for it.
- 7:30Speaker 1: It is the reserve strength of the athlete, the second
- 7:35Speaker 1: win of the runner, the power that, in moments of
- 7:39Speaker 1: great stress or excitement, you unconsciously call upon to do
- 7:43Speaker 1: to deeds which you ever after look upon as superhuman.
- 7:49Speaker 1: But they are in no wise superhuman. They are merely
- 7:56Speaker 1: beyond the capacity of your conscious self. Ally, your conscious self,
- 8:01Speaker 1: with that sleeping giant within you, rouse him daily to
- 8:04Speaker 1: the task, and those superhuman deeds will become your ordinary,
- 8:10Speaker 1: everyday accomplishments. This life principle makes no distinction between rich
- 8:18Speaker 1: and poor, high and low. The greater your need, the
- 8:24Speaker 1: more readily will it respond to your call. Wherever there
- 8:30Speaker 1: is an unusual task, wherever there is poverty or hardship,
- 8:34Speaker 1: or sickness or despair, there is this servant of your mind,
- 8:41Speaker 1: ready and willing to help. And not only is it
- 8:46Speaker 1: ready and willing, but it is always able to help.
- 8:55Speaker 1: Its ingenuity and resource are without limit. It is mine,
- 9:02Speaker 1: It is thought. It is the telepathy that carries messages
- 9:07Speaker 1: without the spoken or written word. It is the sixth
- 9:11Speaker 1: sense that warns you of unseen dangers. No matter how
- 9:16Speaker 1: stupendous and complicated, nor how simple your problem may be,
- 9:21Speaker 1: the solution of it is somewhere in mine, in thought.
- 9:27Speaker 1: And since the solution does exist, this mental giant can
- 9:31Speaker 1: find it for you. It can know, and it can
- 9:38Speaker 1: do every right thing. Whatever it is necessary for you
- 9:43Speaker 1: to know, whatever it is necessary for you to do,
- 9:52Speaker 1: You can know, and you can do if you will,
- 9:54Speaker 1: but seek the help of this genie of your mind
- 9:57Speaker 1: and work with it in the right way.
