Known as the Sage of Concord, in his time he was highly controversial, as are all great leaders and thinkers who are born ahead of their times; but time has vindicated the clear, shining truth of what he had to say.

Nature has provided many species with the ability to change their protecâ€" tive colouring, to match their environâ€" ments. We humans have no such ability; instead we have a far greater one, to be able to change our environments to match ourselves. How many times have you heard some entertainer or celebrity brag about the slum or ghetto he broke away from? If some can do it, why not all? Everyone wants the good things of life â€" friendâ€" ship, recognition, greatness in one‘s own sphere, but how many will spend the time or make the effort necessary to qualify for them? Perhaps it is not surprising that so many still believe in luck. These unforâ€" tunates believe that, somehow, it is possible to find the world of their dreams through some lucky break.

The answer is, by thinkâ€" ing about it most of the time. But this is far different from wishful thinking, it can be nothing less than seeing yourself, in your mind, as already the person you wish to become. You cannot become anything without first forming the mental matrix of what you want to be; just as you cannot create anything without first having a mental picture of what you want to create.
