THE STORY OF ALADDIN and his miraculous lamp and ring was undoubtedly written by one giving vent to his own desires to have wishes come true.
Most people indulge in wishful thinking, particularly those who feel that they are not getting out of life all that they should.
Many who have numerous troubles to worry about will think how nice it would be if they could go to sleep and awaken to find all of their problems solved. Would it seem ludicrous to say that this is well within the realm of possibility? As a matter of fact you possess the means of making all reasonable wishes come true.

Whether your idea of riches is $50,000, $100,000 or a million or more, you have the mental power to bring it about. If you doubt this statement, ask yourself the question: "How did the millionaires acquire their money? Did Dame Fortune hand
it to them? Was it their destiny to acquire plutocratic magnificence?" No—definitely no. These tycoons have been using their inner power, whether they knew it or not. They possess nothing you do not possess except, perhaps, the awareness that they can do things of great magnitude.

In New York lives a man with practically no education. At one time he was a harness maker at a very small wage. Today he owns two skyscrapers as well as a few fashionable apartment houses. He was just getting by when he awakened to the fact that he had a reservoir of power capable of guiding him to great heights.
A motto I wrote many years ago fits this and other similar cases perfectly. Think about it!
"A man may plod along for years without showing any signs of accomplishment. . .
when sometime . . . unexpectedly ... a powerful thought will seep into his
consciousness—and a leader is born."
