concentration may help you get what you want.

The ignorant person may say, "How can you get anything by
merely wanting it?" I say that through concentration you can
get anything you want. Every desire can be gratified. But
whether it is, will depend upon you concentrating to have
that desire fulfilled.

Merely wishing for something will not bring it. Wishing you
had something shows a weakness and not a belief that you
will really get it. So never merely wish, as we are not
living in a "fairy age." You use up just as much brain
force in "vain imaginings" as you do when you think of
something worth while.

Be careful of your desires, make a mental picture of what
you want and set your will to this until it materializes.
Never allow yourself to drift without helm or rudder. Know
what you want to do, and strive with all your might to do
it, and you will succeed.

Feel that you can accomplish anything you undertake. Many
undertake to do things, but feel when they start they are
going to fail and usually they do. I will give an
illustration:

A man goes to a store for an article. The clerk says, "I am
sorry, we have not it." But the man that is determined to
get that thing inquires if he doesn't know where he can get
it. Again receiving an unsatisfactory answer the determined
buyer consults the manager and finally he finds where the
article can be bought.

That is the whole secret of concentrating on getting what
you want. And, remember, your soul is a center of
all-power, and you can accomplish what you will to. "I'll
find a way or make one!" is the spirit that wins.

Don't waste your mental powers in wishes. Don't dissipate
your energies by trying to satisfy every whim. Concentrate
on doing something really worth while. The man that sticks
to something is not the man that fails.,
