Do not become discouraged, if you are unable to hold your thought on the
subject very long at first. There are very few that can. It seems a peculiar
fact that it is easier to concentrate on something that is not good for us, than

concentrate consciously.

Man is a wonderful creature, but he must be trained and developed to be
useful. A great work can be accomplished by every man if he can be
awakened to do his very best. But the greatest man would not accomplish
much if he lacked concentration and effort. Dwarfs can often do the work of
giants when they are transformed by the almost magic power of great mental
concentration. But giants will only do the work of dwarfs when they lack
this power.
We accomplish more by concentration than by fitness; the man that is
apparently best suited for a place does not always fill it best. It is the man
that concentrates on its every possibility that makes an art of both his work
and his life.
All your real advancement must come from your individual effort.

will open up interior avenues that will connect you with the everlasting laws
of Being and their exhaustless foundation of unchangeable truth.

will be of the same value to all. The author has endeavored in these lessons
to awaken that within the soul which perhaps the book does not express. So
study these lessons as a means of awakening and training that which is
within yourself. Let all your acts and thoughts have the intensity and power
of concentration.
