Thinking in the Certain Way (Part 5)
See the things you want as if they were actually around you all the time; see yourself as owning and using them. Make use of them in imagination just as you will use them when they are your tangible possessions. Dwell upon your mental picture until it is clear and distinct, and then take the Mental Attitude of Ownership toward everything in that picture. Take possession of it, in mind, in the full faith that it is actually yours. Hold to this mental ownership; do not waiver for an instant in the faith that it is real.
And remember what was said in a proceeding chapter about gratitude; be as thankful for it all the time as you expect to be when it has taken form. The man who can sincerely thank God for the things which as yet he owns only in imagination, has real faith. He will get rich; he will cause the creation of whatsoever he wants.
You do not need to pray repeatedly for things you want; it is not necessary to tell God about it every day.
“Use not vain repetitions as the heathen do,” said Jesus said to his pupils, “for your Father knoweth the ye have need of these things before ye ask Him.”
Take possession of your desires as if you already own them, and then make sure to be grateful for them right now. That’s right before it is actually in your possession.
That is faith!
When you can be grateful for what you desire before it is actually in your possession, you are showing faithfulness to your Creator!
Keep the vision of your desire in the forefront of your mind, constantly. NOT DESPERATELY! Being desperate is not showing faithfulness to your creator and this is not the position that you want to be in.
You want to have a quiet confidence that what you desire is on its way to you and act in a congruent manner until it becomes a part of reality.
No need for “vain repetitions”, just a quiet confident vision of what you desire with action that is congruent with what you desire. Action that is moving you towards your desired outcome.
As Always, Here’s to Your LifetoSuccess,
