\n\u201cYour success in life does not altogether depend upon natural ability; it also depends upon determination to grasp the opportunity that is presented to you.\u00a0 Opportunities in life come by creation, not by chance.\u00a0 They are either created now, or were created at some time in the recent past, or the distant past, by yourself.<\/em><\/p>\n

Since you have earned them, use them to the best advantage.\u00a0 You can make your life much more worthwhile now and in the future if you focus your attention upon your immediate needs and then use all available information, as well as your abilities, to fulfill them.\u00a0 You must develop all the powers that God gave you, the unlimited powers that come from innermost forces of your being.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Paramahansa Yogananda<\/span><\/p>\n

Think prosperously, feel prosperous, be prosperous\u2026..<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

God\u2019s rich supply is all around you universally, as well as innately within you, as talents and abilities and ideas longing for expression.\u00a0 But that rich supply and substance must be contacted and used.\u00a0 Your mind is your connecting link with it.\u00a0 Your attitudes, your mental concepts, beliefs, outlook and feelings are your connecting links with God\u2019s rich substance and your access to it.\u00a0 <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

God can only do for you what He can do through you, by means of your thoughts and ideas which lead to your reactions.\u00a0 Thus, prosperous thinking opens the way to prosperous results.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI STIR UP THE GIFTS OF GOD WITHIN ME AND AROUND ME, AND I AM BLESSED ON EVERY HAND WITH HAPPINESS, SUCCESS AND TRUE ACHIEVEMENT.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI AM A MEGA MAGNET OF DIVINE LOVE AND ABUNDANCE AND I AM JOYOUSLY ONE WITH MEGA WEALTH CONSCIOUSNESS.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

prosperously yours,<\/span>
