Your Desire-Force

Here's an interesting quote from William Walker Atkinson: "Have you ever come in contact with any of the great men of modern business life? If you have seen these people in action, you will have become conscious of a subtle, mysterious something about them – a...

Do you have it in you?

Here's an interesting quote by William Walker Atkinson: "We wonder at the achievements of the great men in all walks of life, and we are apt to excuse ourselves by the sad remark that these people seem to “have it in them,” while we have not. Nonsense, we all have it...

Never finishing anything

I have a friend that does a lot of work in the beginning stages of any project. He works like a maniac! The problem is that this only happens in the first few weeks of any project. Then he loses the motivation and drops it. His room (and mind) are filled with...

Mind the gap

In the last email, we discussed the gap between your ideal self and your real self and how this can affect your overall mental health. But it can also be a way to improve your inner power, mainly by studying and observing what you do. What exactly do you do about this...
