We believe in our own soul, our
own spirit, and our own destiny; for we understand that the life of all is God.
– Ernest Holmes Principles of

Our prosperity is never ours
alone. We all, being the life of Spirit, share in the universal abundance of
Spirit as Creative Mind, Active Law, and Limitless Substance. I hear from many
that they are needy and held back in life because of location, circumstances,
or other self and culture defined limitations. I hear of and see many who have
climbed above these so called limitations through imagination, desire,
willingness, and personal effort to understand the laws of life, the principles
of success.
My real inspiration comes not
from the famously athletic or the famously wealthy but from people in every
aspect of business and living, who realized that they could lift themselves
from the bondage of their seeming limitation to a freedom that their family, neighbors,
and friends never dreamed of. It is that missing dream and not circumstance
that holds back any of us. It is the discovery and cherishing of the dream that
moves us into success even greater than we dreamed, when we advance toward
achievement of our dream.
The whiners from my youth used to
say, “It is not what you know but who you know that leads to success.” Those
who succeed prove daily that if they show what they know, to whom they know;
sooner or later they will know someone who will aid them in their success.
Begin now by doing daily what you love and by working at whatever work you can
find to make a living while you develop your skills, talents, and contacts.
Dustin Hoffman sold shoes in a
store on Fairfax in Los Angeles while becoming the great actor. The Beach Boys
and the Ventures, two amazingly popular rock groups from the sixties appeared
at Barnes Park in Monterey Park California before they were famous. Now those
who know their success and met or heard these people before their success have
the private conceit of saying, I knew them when…” But, their success occurred because
they believed in their dreams and they believed in themselves.
Not a bit of anyone’s success
takes from the ability of anyone else’s success. Success and prosperity expands
to include anyone who embraces them and expands to the degree that they embrace
it. The life of all is the limitless Life of God and that Life is abundance and
fulfillment for all who know that it is.
I claim Life as my own, knowing
that Life honors every claim upon It. I accept now that all of the Power and Presence
of God responds to my belief in myself. As much as I believe in the way that I believe,
it appears in my experience now. I have the wisdom, knowledge, and contacts
that I accept and I receive the goo that I show others returning to me at all
times in wonderful ways and so it is.

“First
you ask definitely for direction, then it will enter your consciousness as a
definite thought; then in your turn you give it back the thought and it will
give you back the thing. It answers every question, solves every problem; it is
the solution to every difficulty.” Ernest Holmes
