For the purposes of action nothing is more useful than narrowness of thought combined with
energy of will.

Henri Frederic Amie

Man is made or unmade by himself. In the armoury of thought he forges the weapons by
which he destroys himself. He also fashions the tools with which he builds for himself heavenly
mansions of joy, strength and peace. By the right choice, and true application of thought, man
ascends to divine perfection. By the abuse and wrong application of thought, he descends
below the level of the beast.

James Allen, As a Man Thinketh

KAIZEN

As you learned earlier, the mind is similar to the muscles of the body: if you do not use it and
give it a good workout every day, it will become flabby. A flabby mind allows weak thoughts to
enter. Weak thoughts drain your energy and limit your actions. Limited, unproductive actions
prevent you from being the best and attaining all of your desires.

patient thought ENJOY IT

The body and mind are intimately linked and if your body is tense, your mind will be tense,
unfocused and agitated. Stress hampers your creativity and intellect in very serious ways.
When you are under stress, you are prevented from being your best and tapping your real
potential.

Every peak performer, from Michael Jordan and Wayne Gretzky to the President of the United
States recognizes the value of a calm, disciplined and relaxed mind. In the East, a daily period
of silence is as common as eating - everyone does it from a very young age. So should you.
Exceptional serenity, mental clarity and will-power can be achieved through a daily period of
relaxation and renewal. Ancient deep breathing techniques from India and China, the
disciplines of stretching and yoga, meditation, contact with nature, self-massage and mental
tranquility exercises are all part of the MegaLiving! 30 day program which you will explore
later. For now, appreciate the 17th century philosopher Robert Burton’s sage advice: “a quiet
mind cureth all.” Relax your mind and body daily, jump start your life and soar to your highest
potential.

the FeelGood Principle: everything you have ever done in your life, every action you have ever
taken has been a direct result of your powerful need to feel good. What you focus on
throughout the day, what you eat and drink, the people you associate with and the books you
read all arise from your desire to feel good. The evil of procrastination comes about through
the application of the FeelGood Principle: you derive more pleasure by sitting on the couch
doing nothing than becoming physically fit or finishing that report for work that could really
give your career the boost it deserves.

Step 1: The Decision

Today make the decision that you need to change your behaviour. It has caused you too much
pain in the past and it must stop now! Graphically think about and visualize the hurt that this
action has caused you, referring to specific incidents and lost opportunities. Now write down
your decision to dramatically improve and tape it next to your bedside. Read it ten times
before you go to bed and when you first wake up - it will slowly start to affect your
subconscious mind which ultimately governs all of our actions.

Step 2: The Challenge Technique

Now that you are committed to change, and maybe have told all your family and friends so
that you have some positive pressure on you, you must start the re-conditioning process.
When the first thought of the negative behaviour enters your mind, isolate it and “challenge”
the thinking process by anything unique: a silly sound that you make, a bizarre word like
“ookabooka!” or a pinch to your leg. This may sound strange but it will have the highly
important impact of breaking the disempowering thought pattern that is holding you back. An
ageless law of nature is that the positive will always overcome the negative with time. Once
you challenge negative, thoughts and behaviours which are holding you back from all that you
deserve, they will soon realize that they are unwelcome guests in the palace of your mind and
leave this mental kingdom quickly.

Step 3: The New Reality: The Slide Strategy

Once you have made the decision to change and challenged the pattern, you must then
replace it with the new behaviour you wish to cultivate. This is known as Opposition Thinking
and is an ancient Indian technique practiced by the yogis who developed enormous

mental powers. The essence of the strategy is to substitute the negative thought for a positive,
empowering one. The mind is very much like a giant slide projector - at a given moment, it can
hold only a single thought just like at any instant, a projector will only hold one slide. If you
suffer from procrastination, each time the thought of wasting time while you should be
working comes to your mind, isolate it, challenge the stream of thought and then substitute a
clear thought of you working hard (just like replacing one slide with another).

Picture in your mind’s eye the wonderful benefits of completing this task successfully. Will it
increase your discipline and self-image? What positive effects will your new behaviour have
this year if you keep doing it? How about in five or ten years. Start to FeelGood about this
behaviour.

Become the most positive person you know. Cultivate the spirit of positivity and joy in every
area of your life. Become a true adventurer, seeing life’s little obstacles as challenges that will
allow you to become wiser and to grow. Learn to love adversity and to thrive on it. The great
business leaders of our time from Getty to Ted Turner loved big challenges and turned them
into opportunities for magnificent wealth. Critics called CNN the “chicken noodle network”
when it first came out. But Turner persisted. He understood that successful people are no
different from anyone else, they just stay in the fight an extra round longer. This is the
difference between winners and less developed people. Unsuccessful people see adversity as
something that will break them and complain that life is hard. Winners design strategies to
benefit from challenges, regroup if they do not work and maintain a burning commitment to
succeed at all cost. Winners will always find a way.
