PERSISTENCE 179
55 of your DESIRE. From that point on, you will not be handicapped by lack of
56 persistence.
57 Your subconscious mind works continuously, while you are awake, and while
58 you are asleep. Spasmodic, or occasional effort to apply the rules will be of no
59 value to you. To get RESULTS, you must apply all of the rules until their
60 application becomes a fixed habit with you. In no other way can you develop the
61 necessary "money consciousness."
62 POVERTY is attracted to the one whose mind is favorable to it, as money is
63 attracted to him whose mind has been deliberately prepared to attract it, and
64 through the same laws. POVERTY CONSCIOUSNESS WILL
65 VOLUNTARILY SEIZE THE MIND WHICH IS NOT OCCUPIED WITH
66 THE MONEY CONSCIOUSNESS. A poverty consciousness develops without
67 conscious application of habits favorable to it. The money consciousness must
68 be created to order, unless one is born with such a consciousness.
69 Catch the full significance of the statements in the preceding paragraph, and you
70 will understand the importance of PERSISTENCE in the accumulation of a
71 fortune. Without PERSISTENCE, you will be defeated, even before you start.
72 With PERSISTENCE you will win.
73 If you have ever experienced a nightmare, you will realize the value of
74 persistence. You are lying in bed, half awake, with a feeling that you are about to
75 smother. You are unable to turn over, or to move a muscle. You realize that you
76 MUST BEGIN to regain control over your muscles. Through persistent effort of
77 will-power, you finally manage to move the fingers of one hand. By continuing
78 to move your fingers, you extend your control to the muscles of one arm, until
79 you can lift it. Then you gain control of the other arm in the same manner. You
80 finally gain control over the muscles of one leg, and then extend it to the other
81 leg. THEN – WITH ONE SUPREME EFFORT OF WILL – you regain
82 complete control over your muscular system, and "snap" out of your nightmare.
83 The trick has been turned step by step.
