The Magic Story - A Simple Fairy Tale for Grownups. (Paperback)

I pray you who read, heed well the following admonitions, since upon them depend the word "success" and all that it implies:

Whatsoever you desire of good is yours. You have but to stretch forth your hand and take it.

Learn that the consciousness of dominant power within you is the possession of all things attainable. Have no fear of any sort or shape, for fear is an adjunct of the minus-entity. If you have skill, apply it; the world must profit by it, and therefore, you. Make a daily and nightly companion of your plus-entity; if you heed its advice, you cannot go wrong. Remember, philosophy is an argument; the world, which is your property, is an accumulation of facts. Go therefore, and do that which is within you to do; take no heed of gestures which would beckon you aside; ask of no man permission to perform. The minus-entity requests favors; the plus-entity grants them. Fortune waits upon every footstep you take; seize her, bind her, hold her, for she is yours; she belongs to you. Start out now, with these admonitions in your mind. Stretch out your hand, and grasp the plus, which, maybe, you have never made use of, save in great emergencies. Life is an emergency most grave. Your plus-entity is beside you now; cleanse your brain, and strengthen your will. It will take possession. It waits upon you. Start tonight; start now upon this new journey. Be always on your guard. Whichever entity controls you, the other hovers at your side; beware lest the evil enter, even for a moment.
