    • Die Macht des Gedankens

      • 180 pages
      • 7 hours of reading

      Der Glaube an hemmende Schranken und die Überzeugung, dass wir den Umständen hilflos ausgeliefert sind, schwächen unsere Fähigkeit, etwas zu erreichen. Diese Denkweise führt zu Misserfolgen und trägt wesentlich zur Armut und zum Elend der Menschheit bei. Wie kann jemand aus dem Unglück aufsteigen, wenn er nicht einmal glaubt, dass er es kann? Gibt es eine Wissenschaft oder Philosophie, die einem Menschen helfen kann, solange er an seine Unfähigkeit glaubt? Es ist unmöglich, in zwei entgegengesetzte Richtungen zu gehen; Gewissheit und Zweifel schließen sich gegenseitig aus. Um erfolgreich zu sein, müssen wir die Begriffe "Schicksal," "Ich kann nicht" und "Zweifel" aus unserem Wortschatz streichen. Stärke kann nicht entstehen, solange wir uns als schwach empfinden, und Glück kann nicht gedeihen, wenn wir ständig an unser Unglück denken. Ein starker Glaube an sich selbst beseitigt Zweifel und Unsicherheit und bündelt die geistige Kraft auf ein Ziel. Dies ermöglicht ein stetiges Vorwärtsstreben ohne Ablenkung. Entdecker, Erfinder und Reformatoren verkörpern den Geist unbesiegbarer Bejahung.
