Book excerpt: The objects of Dynamic Thought are to alter your mental attitude, to direct your thoughts into those channels which lead to success, achievement, health, happiness and perfect good; the arousing of the inward POWER, the overcoming of bad habits; the building up of character, and the discovery and development of the creative faculty. Do not worry because you cannot follow the course exactly to the letter. Do what you can of it, adapt it to your life, and do the best you can in present circumstances. Remember that although as soon as you start thinking right, you begin to build up your life, yet it takes time for it to manifest. At first things may seem to be worse, if so keep on and they will soon settle down. You cannot fail in the long run if you persist and persevere. There is a power lying hidden in man, by the use of which he can rise to higher and better things. The object of Within You is the Power is to help men and women to bring their inward powers of mind and spirit into expression, wisely and in harmony with the universal law; to build up character, and to find within themselves that wondrous Self, which is their real self, and which, when found, reveals to them that they are literally and truly sons of God and daughters of the Most High.
