Happy June,  

In last month's issue, this photo of David Goldstein should have appeared. This is a picture of an overcrowded box car where he and 50 other POW's from World War had been packed in the process of being transferring to another camp, when the train stopped, the door opened, and the German soldiers walked away. The war was over!

Daydreaming doesn't have the power to release the latent forces within us that will bring us the $1,000,000 or the mansion. When we employ our imaginations properly, we will see ourselves doing a thing and we go ahead and do it. It's the doing the thing you have pictured to yourself that brings it into actual existence. In this connection, think about the use of a magnifying glass. When properly focused, it will gather light from the sun and concentrate it, so that the heat will burn a hole in the object. It must be held steady before heat power is developed. So it is with the holding of the image or the mental picture in our minds.

Dr. Emile Coue declared that imagination was a much stronger force than will-power; when the two are in conflict, he said, the imagination always wins.

Wishful thinking in itself is without effect simply because the power factor is missing.

Whatever we fix our thoughts upon or steadily focus our imaginations upon, that is what we attract.

Once the soil is prepared and the tiny seeds are placed in it, it is but a short time when they put forth roots and sprouts begin to appear. The moment they start upward through the soil in search of light, sunshine, and moisture, obstacles mean nothing to them. They will push aside small stones or bits of wood, and if they can't do that, they'll extend themselves and grow around them. They are determined to emerge from the ground.  

Plant the right kind of seed and habitually feed it with strong affirmative thoughts always directed toward the same end, and it will grow into a mighty force, finding ways and means of overcoming all obstacles.
