F OREWORD

Dear Readers,

Its as simple as ABC but only in reverse!

Napoleon Hill states, Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve. This simple statement reminds us that the power of the Universe is within each and every one of us. By directing our mind in the path we wish it to go, we determine our ultimate destiny. Simple truths hold profound wisdom. But, just because the truths are simple, does not mean that they are easy.

To become accustomed to the process of using Dr. Hills Science of Success System, we must condition our minds to be ready to accept the possible within the impossible. The two letters i and m in front of the word possible make many people retreat in fear and abandon their dreams. They allow these two little letters i and m to predict the future. If we just forget about that little threatening prefix im, we can get on with the essential believing portion that precedes the achieving fact. The little autosuggestion, If its to be, its up to me, helps dissolve the fear when the word impossible rears back and challenges us.

To believe in something prior to actual manifesting requires a person to have determined faith in overcoming the impossible. Faith is a prerequisite to achievement. Applied faith is the very next, crucial step. When you apply your belief, you are then stepping into your future. A person with a purpose and a plan is undefeatable if this formula is leveraged well.

When our faith is in exquisite shape our end performance will be profound because we are removing all doubt about the picture perfect end result we have envisioned in the conceive portion of the formula. Faith is an elixir that performs exactly to our expectations. When the container of Faith is opened and the elixir is released, the essence is not easily coaxed back into the bottle. So, we must expect the very best when we unleash our faith in the outcome, and then apply steps to make our dream perform right up to our expectations. Its as easy as ABC but only in reverse!

Conceive It! Believe It! Achieve It!

It is my greatest hope that this little book of 52 essays will inspire you weekly to take appropriate action towards your dreams. Dreams come and go, but those that come true are the ones that you believe in without a doubt. When you believe in the power of your dreams you are compelled to take immediate action to make them a reality.

May all your dreams come true!

Be Your Very Best Always,

Judy Williamson

Many times in life we make decisions that are not aligned with our purpose. These decisions have no staying power and soon are forgotten. Decisions that are aligned with your purpose embodied in your definite chief aim statement are remembered because they are truly significant to you.

Ray Stendall

I n considering linear time, it appears to exist in three parts: past time, current time, and future time. Past time might be defined as moving back mentally in time to consider what choices we made that contributed to where we find ourselves todayhindsight. Future time might be defined as moving forward mentally in time to consider what choices we can make today that can determine our future outcomes foresight. Current time might be defined as the moment by moment time we exist in now and is the only real time we have. This present time best serves us when it is combined with insight, that quality that causes us to go inside ourselves for the purpose of considering what lessons are relevant for us to use in this our present moment.

We can watch a clock, turn the page on a calendar, journal our daily experiences, and chart the progress of time in numerous physical ways. Spiritually, our comprehension of time is different. It is more circular. We watch in our minds eye a movie of our life and fast forward it to completion. All our experiences and connections are still inside of us and are very real. Sometimes these experiences become muddled together and the actual time sequence becomes blurred. We may see ourselves in dreams as children, and our own children may be our playmates. Or, we might recall an occurrence from our distant past and place people from our recent past in the scene. This is not dementia, but rather our mind attempting to made sense of our comprehensive experiences. Some scientists state that all time exists in the now. That is, there is no real distinction between past, present, and future time. Time just is. This might explain how events merge and blend together as one scene instead of a sequence of scenes in our dreamtime.

All this is interesting to consider, but in our waking world time marches on and we need to be in step with the marching band if we want to be in the parade! That is why Dr. Hill reminds us to use our time efficiently and wisely. Time is the essence of our being, and when we are out of time we cease to exist in this realm. So, if life is a checkerboard, the opponent against us, as Dr. Hill states, is time. Play the game to your best advantage by recognizing that time waits for no man or woman. Given this fact, you can then gain the insight that the best use of the time we are given is critical in our lifetime accomplishments. Be wise and use time to your very best advantage.
