THE MAGIC OF THOUGHT - By Gary R. Robertson


  • The most impressionable time in our day is just before turning off the light for the night as we go to sleep. (22)

  • "Thoughts create action, and action creates thoughts." (26)

  • "Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved." -William Jennings Bryan (38)

  • Note to self - "My subconscious mind is goal-driven. If I give it the goal it will respond. It cannot think but much be programmed to give me the answer." (39)

  • "Pay yourself first." (49)

  • "I'll pay myself first, save and invest regularly. I will control my spending and I will accumulate $2500,000.00 0r $2,500,000.00. As I save money I will feel more confident. I will command more respect, and I will build a war chest of money that will provide me with great comfort." (49)

  • Write out on paper that you will save an invest. Write that you will need more money during your retirement years because health care will cost more, you will want to trade your car every five years, and that you will live into old age in good health. Write that you don't want to be a burden to anyone financially and that you would like to leave money behind to take care of your spouse, or children. (50)

I will read this note everyday until my goal has been reached, and I will remain positive and upbeat. I have a spouse who has given a great deal of support to me, and we will be much better off in one year's time. I have loving children and I want to do better, so that I can hold myself out as a good, hard working parental example. I am confident in my abilities and I am willing to make any necessary changes to increase my education to whatever level, so I can acquire a new position." (93)

  • If I set a time-dated goal, why make it four years hence when one year would have sufficed? (100)

  • Price yourself to yourself. (102)

"I bargained with Life for a penny,

And Life would pay no more,

However I begged at evening

When I counted my scanty score.

For Life is a just employer,

He gives you what you ask,

But once you have set the wages,

Why, you must bear the task.

I worked for a menial's hire,

Only to learn dismayed,

That any wage I asked of Life

Life would have willingly paid."

-J B Rittenhouse (102)
