You can be what you want to be if you want it strongly enough and if you believe in it firmly enough to make it a dominant desire. Supply is an active force, and it is yours if you want to claim it. It goes to those who are alive, and who provide so many powerful magnets to attract it that they can pull it to themselves regardless of what obstacles may arise. When we understand the supply is ours, we will see the genius Napoleon possessed. First it was his intense desire for power, and then it was his …

Do you know what our greatest challenge is? It is not the man looking out through the holes he burned into the sheets with lit cigars. It is our own people who didn’t want to understand they were born with divinity and then own it.  I am no longer going to live like a dwarf. I don’t care what state the economy is in. It’s time for us to break the binding wires, break the psychological chains, and rise up to be who we are. It’s time for us to pull together as a unit. It’s time for us to …

In Japan, they will take the shoots of an oak tree and coil a wire tightly around the main root at a point where the trunk begins. They stunt the growth to such an extent that instead of great oaks 80 or 100 feet high, the shoots reproduce all the same qualities, but in dwarf trees that are only 12 or 14 inches high. It takes the same amount of time to grow a 12-inch dwarf tree as it does to grow one that reaches 80 feet high. These are trees that can take as long as three generations to …

Some of you are so comfortable in your dwarfed position that you have—perhaps unwittingly—adopted a dwarf mentality. It’s become so much a part of you that you may as well be one of the dwarves dancing around Snow White in her enchanted forest. Sleepy is the dwarf who is asleep to his divinity and won’t see his potential. Grumpy can’t give praise because he is always complaining—he is dwarfed in his faith. Dopey is a fool who doesn’t have a handle on reality. Bashful doesn’t stand in the boldness of his faith. And so on. And each of them is …

Some of you have prosperity in your life, but it’s in pygmy style. The Japanese create what they call dwarf, or pygmy, trees. They take the same number of years to grow as an average-sized tree, but the process by which they bind them keeps them small. Neither style of tree takes less or more care than the other; one is encouraged to branch out and grow tall, and the other receives just as much attention in the effort to keep it from branching out.   In much the same way, you bind, or “pygmy,” your blessings without even knowing …
