Chapter XI One Thing At a Time
An excerpt from How to Grow Success by Elizabeth Towne Chapter XI One Thing At a Time
When I receive a letter which says the writer has "so many desires it is impossible to enumerate them," my heart shows a tendency to slip into my shoes. Such a one is really a hard ease.
Desire is the creator; but when desire is spread over a host of things it is no longer desire; it is mere shallow wishing, and accomplishes little. You can no more spread out your wishes and works over a multitude of things and bring success, than you can clean a dozen rooms all at once.
One thing at time. Be definite.What do you want?Call them all up in a row for inspection. What will you have first? Decide upon one thing and then banish the other wishes until this one is realized. Make your mental demand for this ONE thing. Be still, and let the spirit tell you what to do, and how. Keep affirming it. Be faith-full to this one thing until you realize it.
When it is well in sight call up your wishes again and make another selection. Then banish all others and WISH HARD, and AFFIRM harder, and work faithfully for that one.
One thing at a time and that well done, is the road to all accomplishment. And each thing well done increases your capacity. One thing properly "demonstrated" over makes way for better and quicker "demonstration" over the next thing.
Chapter XI One Thing At a Time
This chapter has proven to be SO useful to me for my personal life as well as my business. Whenever I find myself with "too much on my plate," as they say, I go back to Chapter XI and go over what really matters. In other words I re-visit my priorities.
Make a list. Then simply write numbers next to each item starting with your top desire as number 1. When you've looked at the list and your heart, or done some deep soul searching, let go (at least until you complete your number 1) of the rest of the items on your list.
When you've accomplished your main desire then go back to this list and go on to number 2. And so on. I know it doesn't sound as glamorous as you'd like to think, but when it comes to fulfilling your dreams you just have to be really focused.
