I am wondering if you would like to have more self-confidence, and would like to get rid of all your feelings of inferiority? Well, that is exactly what is going to happen, provided you are sincerely interested and will follow a few suggestions.
It seems that most everyone has a degree of feeling of inferiority. So don't feel so exclusive about your complexes. You have lots of company. At the same time, most everyone feels very confident about certain things. Certain things, about which they have learned enough, so that they feel that they are an authority. All this proves that each of us has the capacity to feel confident as well as inferior. We feel confident when we understand the whole truth about something, and we feel inferior, when we do not know the whole truth.
Webster defines the word inferiority as a person experiencing a feeling in a lower state.
In other words, by feeling that somebody else is better than he is, he is comparing himself with this other person. This is not a fair comparison. No two persons are the same. The very word individual suggests that each one of us is different from every other person. We do not look the same as anyone else. We have a different shaped nose, face, head, body, and we have a different design as to what our life's purpose is.
We were designed to function as an individual. We are not to be compared with any other person, but we should appreciate our individual design and learn to be ourselves.
We should learn to express our own individuality well.
The one great Creator of the universe has infinite intelligence. Infinite intelligence means unlimited, incomprehensible, inexhaustible, wisdom, knowledge, and power.
Awareness Is Power!
We have considered the secret of genuine success in general. Now, let us consider some of the ABC's of building a state of beingness so that success will become habitual or automatic and our lives.
We can refer to these ABC's as the four simple rules of success.
There are four basic fundamental ideas which I would like to share with each of you. May I suggest that you get a notebook and write these rules or ideas down so they can become part of your being. This will be of tangible help to each of you in starting to make you be anything you want to be and have anything you want to have.
So, the first rule that I would like to share with you is this: We must become aware of the fact that we are thinking beings.
Of all of God's creations, we are the only part of the entire universe that has the privilege of thinking. And naturally when we think of thinking, we become aware that we are dealing with mental processes.
I would like to have you become keenly aware that you are thinking all the time, that you are a thinking being, that you have what is known in psychology as mental processes, and you, if you will stop and take inventory, will recognize that these thought processes surging through your being.
Make a special note in your notebook and say to yourself, "I am a thinking being; I am constantly thinking thoughts; I am constantly having a mental process during every waking hour, every waking moment and every waking split second."

Karma yoga chapter v we help ourselves, not the world.Ravi Ramakrishnan
Swami #Vivekananda Bengali: , Shāmi Bibekānondo; 12 January 1863 – 4 July 1902), born #Narendranath Datta, was an Indian Hindu monk, a chief disciple of the 19th-century Indian mystic Ramakrishna. He was a key figure in the introduction of the Indian philosophies of# Vedanta and #Yoga to the Western world and is credited with raising #interfaith awareness, bringing Hinduism to the status of a major world religion during the late 19th century. He was a major force in the revival of Hinduism in India, and contributed to the concept of nationalism in colonial India. Vivekananda founded the #Ramakrishna Math and the Ramakrishna Mission. He is perhaps best known for his speech which began, "Sisters and brothers of America ...," in which he introduced Hinduism at the Parliament of the World's Religions in Chicago in 1893.
Born into an aristocratic Bengali family of Calcutta, Vivekananda was inclined towards spirituality. He was influenced by his Guru, Ramakrishna Deva, from whom he learnt that all living beings were an embodiment of the divine self; therefore, service to God could be rendered by service to mankind. After Ramakrishna's death, Vivekananda toured the Indian subcontinent extensively and acquired first-hand knowledge of the conditions prevailing in British India. He later traveled to the United States, representing India at the 1893 Parliament of the World Religions. Vivekananda conducted hundreds of public and private lectures and classes, disseminating tenets of Hindu philosophy in the United States, England and Europe. In India, Vivekananda is regarded as a patriotic saint and his birthday is celebrated there as National Youth Day.

Chapter 4
ABSURD as it may seem at first consideration that anyone would solemnly enter into even an unconscious conspiracy to fail, it is a matter of observation that there is hardly one person in a hundred who does not, in some fashion, deliberately cripple and thwart themselves. To understand why this should be so it is necessary to examine for a chapter what may be called, without paradox, the rewards of failure.
The recent widespread interest in all branches of psychology has accustomed us to accepting an idea which, when first offered, seemed laughable: that we are all at some level, engaged most of the time in reverie. We dream either consciously or unconsciously, awake or asleep, of a situation in which we feel we should be happier than we are in real life. Occasionally some childish idea of happiness or success crops up to confuse or hamper us in the business of adult living. Sometimes the dream is of a life of luxurious idleness, the childish Unconscious determined on refusing to leave the safe shelter of the nursery, where all wants were remedied as soon as felt, where warmth and food and love were given freely and unearned. As Emerson wrote, long before we had any technical vocabulary to express that backward turning reverie, long before we knew of "fixations" or of "narcissism" "We do not believe there is any force in today to rival or recreate that beautiful Yesterday. We linger in the ruins of the old tent where once we had bread and shelter." To some extent this is true of all of us, but less true of the happy and successful adult than of others.
At other times, ludicrously enough, the life-wasting reverie is about success: the mild man is a Napoleon of war or finance, the mouse-like woman a siren. If reality never broke in upon such reverie, the dreamer might be happier, self-absorbed in their silent tale-spinning, than if they were to find themselves in a position to realize some part of it. Such reverie is in itself compensation for a life of dull routine or uneventful monotony. But, the world being what it is, the dreamer must live, for part of their time at least, in the cold atmosphere of fact. This is no Land of Cockaigne that we inhabit: roast pigs do not run about crying "Eat me!" Fruit does not fall from the trees into our mouths. However blissful the daydream we entertain, we must wake from it sometimes and struggle with the hard conditions of real living.
Wake Up and Live - Introduction
TWO YEARS ago I came across a formula for success which has revolutionized my life. It was so simple, and so obvious once I had seen it, that I could hardly believe it was responsible for the magical results which followed my putting it into practice.
The first thing to confess is that two years ago I was a failure. Oh, nobody knew it except me and those who knew me well enough to see that I was not doing a tenth of what could be expected of me. I held an interesting position, lived not too dull a life - yet there was no doubt in my own mind, at least, that I had failed. What I was doing was a substitute activity for what I had planned to do; and no matter how ingenious and neat the theories were which I presented to myself to account for my lack of success, I knew very well that there was more work that I should be doing, and better work, and work more demonstrably my own.
Of course I was always looking for a way out of my impasse. But when I actually had the good fortune to find it, I hardly believed in my own luck. At first I did not try to analyze or explain it. For one thing, the effects of using the formula were so remarkable that I was almost on the verge of being superstitious about the matter; it seemed like magic, and it doesn't do to inquire too closely into the reasons for a spell or incantation! More realistic than that, there was - at that time - still a trace of wariness about my attitude. I had tried to get out of my difficulties many times before, had often seemed to be about to do so, and then had found them closing in around me again as relentlessly as ever. But the main reason for my taking so little time to analyze or explain the effects of the formula after I once began to use it consistently was that I was much too busy and having far too much fun.
Women and the Science of Belief –Magic of Believing
(An excerpt from the “Strangest Secret Library”)
As ideas for this book occurred to me, I frequently thought of the many famous women who had used the power of belief. Once Ben Hur Lampman specifically suggested that I write about them:
"Many women may not realize they can use your science just as advantageously as men, and you should be specific in your message to them. Once they understand and apply what you give, they'll find themselves in a position to turn the world figuratively upside down. If there were some way for women of all nationalities to unite and use this science, there would be no future wars.
"Women are supreme egotists - when they get the idea they can do something, and that idea becomes thoroughly embedded in their consciousness, they will stop at nothing to achieve their purpose. You know the old saying, 'The female of the species is more deadly than the male.' That is true, and once women understand their power - and you can give them the clue - they may actually run this whole world. Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, nor hell a fury like a woman scorned,' and once they are aroused and understand what they can accomplish, there will be no stopping them. Women are more versatile, more adaptable. Even though Napoleon declared that he made circumstances, most men are its victims, while women by their very nature of thinking make circumstances serve them."
The $25,000 Idea
Now how do we separate the important tasks from the unimportant?
Did you ever hear of the single idea for which a man was paid $25,000? And it was worth every penny of it.
The story goes that the president of a big steel company had granted an interview to an efficiency expert named Ivy Lee. Lee was telling his prospective client how he could help him do a better job of managing the company, when the president broke in to say something to the effect that he wasn’t at present managing as well as he knew how.
He went on to tell Ivy Lee that what was needed wasn’t more knowing but a lot more doing. He said, “We know what we should be doing. Now if you can show us a better way of getting it done, I’ll listen to you and pay you anything within reason you ask.”
Well, Lee then said that he could give him something in 20 minutes that would increase his efficiency by at least 50 percent.
He then handed the executive a blank sheet of paper and said, “Write down on this paper the six most important things you have to do tomorrow.” Well, the executive thought about it and did as requested. It took him about three or four minutes.
Then Lee said, “Now number those items in the order of their importance to you or to the company.” Well, that took another three or four or five minutes.
The more releasing you do, the more miracles start showing up in your life. But this is nothing new. Napoleon Hill wrote this up years ago, but it took Levenson's Sedona releasing techniques to show how to really get rich. It's the power of that world in you...
I looked up an older set of principles to see how these might compare. Abraham Maslow wrote a paper in 1943 called "A Theory of Human Motivation". This theory contends that when people have met their basic, physiological needs, they will then work to satisfy their higher needs. Maslow based his study on exemplary and successful people.

2. You Can Have Self-Confidence - 1
I am wondering if you would like to have more self-
confidence, and would like to get rid of all your feelings of
inferiority? Well, that is exactly what is going to happen,
provided you are sincerely interested and will follow a few
suggestions.
It seems that most everyone has a degree of feeling of
inferiority. So don't feel so exclusive about your complexes.
You have lots of company. At the same time, most everyone
feels very confident about certain things. Certain things,
about which they have learned enough, so that they feel that
they are an authority. All this proves that each of us has the
capacity to feel confident as well as inferior. We feel
confident when we understand the whole truth about
something, and we feel inferior, when we do not know the
whole truth.
Webster defines the word inferiority as a person
experiencing a feeling in a lower state.
In other words, by feeling that somebody else is better than
he is, he is comparing himself with this other person. This is
not a fair comparison. No two persons are the same. The
very word individual suggests that each one of us is
different from every other person. We do not look the same
as anyone else. We have a different shaped nose, face, head,
body, and we have a different design as to what our life's
purpose is.

to be compared with any other person, but we should
appreciate our individual design and learn to be ourselves.
We should learn to express our own individuality well.
The one great Creator of the universe has infinite
intelligence. Infinite intelligence means unlimited,

3. You Can Have Self-Confidence - 2
incomprehensible, inexhaustible, wisdom, knowledge, and
power.
The universe is designed, powered and governed by this all
powerful, all knowing, all loving Creator. This indescribable
creator knows that it takes thousands of different types of
individuals to render all the many different services needed
to operate the world harmoniously, so he created thousands
of different types of people. There are thousands of men
who just love to serve as undertakers. Other thousands of
men who like to run grocery stores. Others who like to sell
and deal with people. Others, who like to be statesmen and
run our government.
Why this great intelligence, which runs the universe, has it
arranged that should the one and only undertaker in some
little town in western Nebraska gets killed in an auto
accident, in three days, there would be several other
undertakers competing for the opportunity to serve in his
place.
Did you ever wonder how it is possible for every city and
community in the world, based upon its population, to have
just the right number of doctors, lawyers, merchants,
plumbers, carpenters, ditch diggers, ministers, salesman,
nurses, lawnmower repairers, waiters, cooks, mechanics,
etc.? Why is it that just so many persons trained to render
each type of service live in each community?
That happens because each of us is especially designed to
serve well in some channel. We develop our abilities to
serve in our particular channel, and then seek a place where
such services are needed.
When we find our channel, the channel for which we were
especially created, we will find that we are very happy
serving in that channel. We will feel harmonious and happy,
Report excerpted from If You Can Count to Four
4. You Can Have Self-Confidence - 3
and we will express life beautifully. We will be healthy and
prosperous because we will find that we will be able to
render a quality and a quantity of service to humanity. We
will have faith in ourselves and will not be comparing
ourselves with other people who were designed to serve in a
different channel than ourselves.
You will pardon me if I share a personal experience with
you. I was raised in a family of 14 children. There are 12 of
us living at present. Most of my life, I suffered terribly from
a feeling of inferiority. I did not understand why other
people could have so many desirable things and be playing
seemingly such an important role in life. And I seemed to be
stuck with wearing hand-me-downs, and plowing with a
walking plow all my life. I felt inferior to every boy who
wore better clothes than I did. I felt inferior to every boy or
girl who could stand up before the student body and speak
with poise and confidence.
I could not do that when I was a senior in high school. I felt
inferior to every boy and girl who seemed to feel at ease at
the socials, which I attended during my school years,
because I came from the sticks and looked and dressed like
a hayseed. During those years, I did not understand the real
foundation of life. I did not know what was important and
what was unimportant.
But looking back, I can see many things about those years,
which turned out to be blessings in disguise. Two things I
will mention.
One, these conditions stirred within me a burning desire to
learn the truth about life and to be successful.
Two, since I did not have the clothes, the money, and the
confidence, so that I was invited to the many social
activities, I took my borrowed books and went home and
Listen Now: http://livesensical.com/go/ctf06/
5. You Can Have Self-Confidence - 4
did the chores and studied each evening until bedtime.
Consequently, I learned to study and made good grades. I
learned the value of knowing the truth about that which I
was studying.
My confidence gradually grew and grew, as I learned the
truth about the universe and its various laws. It has been
my privilege to take all these wonderful discoveries out into
the test tube of life and prove them. Now, I know that each
person can discover that channel for which he was
especially designed and learn to express a large measure of
happiness, health and prosperity.
I would like to introduce a wonderful word to you, which
will mean a great deal to your happiness. The word is
"consciousness." It means the sum total of all your beliefs.
Add up every thought or idea which you have ever
accepted as true and that adds up to your state of
beingness or consciousness.
If you have accepted thoughts in the past which are not
true, regarding who you are and what your relationship to
other people is, then you have a consciousness of inferiority.
You have that consciousness because you have accepted
certain untrue things as though they were true.
If you knew the truth about yourself you would not feel
inferior, but you would jump up and down and shout. You
would know that your Creator is richer than Henry Ford,
and he is smarter than Einstein, and he is constantly
looking after you day and night. You would know that you
are very important.
Now, how does one change his consciousness from a
consciousness of inferiority to a consciousness of
Report excerpted from If You Can Count to Four
6. You Can Have Self-Confidence - 5
confidence in one's self. We must learn who we are and that
we have an important role to play in the game of life.
We must realize that we are indispensable channels of
service to humanity. That we have both a conscious mind in
a subconscious mind and that we reason both deductively
and inductively, which I choose to call the "A" type and "B"
type of reasoning. The "A" type means that we can
investigate before we accept it as true, the "B" type means
that we can accept it on the assumption that it is true.
We must be aware that by virtue of the fact that our Creator
created us with these marvelous faculties, he has a definite
job for us to do.
This great life force surges through us 24 hours of every day.
It is powerful. We have the ability to direct it into any
design we choose. We can neglect to direct it and it is like a
great river out of its channel. It tends to destroy everything
in its course. But if it is harnessed, it can take electrical
power to the millions. This great life force is even more
powerful than the river when it is directed.
Down through the ages, men and women with vision and
faith have directed this terrific force, and as a result, we
have our modern way of life.
Recently it was my pleasure to visit Hoover Dam. Needless
to say, I enjoyed the visit very much. But I marveled at the
scope of its structure. The size and the color of the men who
conceived it and believe din it enough to build it. Then, the
great Colorado River, instead of wasting its mighty energies,
was captured and used to supply water for starving acres, by
the thousands, as well as to provide electrical power for
Southern California. Also, Lake Mead, which is the largest
man-made lake in the world, provides recreational facilities
for thousands each season.

Did you ever sit in your car and wait for a train to pass? Did
you ever let your imagination take you back to the time
before the first railroad and listen in on one of the first
board meetings where some men of vision and faith were
trying to persuade the others that they could build a steel
track all the way across the country?
Can you imagine just how difficult it was to get the men,
who lack the vision, to see how it would be possible, for 70
to 80 cars, weighing hundreds of tons, loaded with tons of
freight, to travel across thousands of miles of terrain,
through the cities, at perhaps 50 to 70 miles per hour? It
took great faith and vision to develop our railroads. Today,
there are men who have faith that in just a few years, we will
be flying across the country in 3 to 4 hours in large
transport planes.
Some believe that we will be communicating with each
other without the aid of an electronic instrument in a few
years. In other words, we will learn how to tune in on each
other, at will, and talk to each other, without the aid of any
device. Maybe so, maybe not, but it is no more fantastic
than those who believed in television 20 years ago.
We could talk at length about the great (so-called) men and
women of history who have practiced great faith but I am
particularly interested in the millions of people who are
suffering from misunderstanding of life and are not
enjoying life because of a feeling of inferiority.
I want the housewife to know that she is filling the most
important need in the world. I want her to know that she
was designed to be a good wife and mother and that to be a
good wife and mother is the greatest profession in the
world.

I want to challenge every wife and mother in the world to
assume a feeling of genuine importance and to know how
needed they are. Fill our minds with the thoughts of who
you really are and how important you are.
• The purpose of life is to live.
• To live is to express.
• To express is to be what you want to be and to do
what you want to do and to have what you want to
have.
• There is an abundance of everything you could desire
in the universe.
• There are laws or rules of making available all the
things you desire.
• So all you need to do is to learn the laws and decide
what you desire, and then do something about it.
It is your privilege to either say to yourself, "I don't believe
all this" or to say. "I am open-minded and will assume that
it is true until I prove it either true or untrue, inasmuch as it
is good. If it proves untrue, fine, at least I exposed myself to
the possibility of discovering that it was true. If it proves to
be true, then I will always know how you feel happy, healthy
and prosperous."
The indescribable abundance of the universe will be yours
as you choose to express it, because now you know the truth
about it.
Now you know who you are. You know that you are an
important individual. You know that you have a special job
to do in life. Now, you must neutralize all those false
concepts of yourself; the idea that you were not as good as
someone else; the idea that you were not as pretty as

someone else, etc. The way that you do that is to assume the
new premise that you are an exclusive, important individual
and feel the new concept so strongly that your new concept
becomes a deeper habit pattern in your subconscious than
the old ones. Then you will automatically feel confident.
Confidence or faith is based upon knowledge of self. Your
knowledge of self now does not justify feeling inferior. It
justifies a feeling of real importance. You now know who
you are and your relationship to your creator and your
fellow men.
Now, you know that you can design your life. You can now
decide the type of person you want to be. You can become a
person of poise, charm, beauty and confidence.
You can have a beautiful home, car, clothes or anything you
desire. You can have these through self-confidence which
will make it possible for you to learn the rules of life. All
these things come through natural means. You design all
these things in the idea form, and then in due time, you will
experience them actually.
Each idea has a season, just like each seed in the garden has
a season. Do not get the idea that all you have to do is just
think. All this is based upon natural laws.
The first thing one must do is to be able to think it in the
form of an idea. Then the idea is the seed, which falls into
the soil, which is the subconscious mind. The subconscious
mind then tells us, from day to day, what form of action is
required in order to bring about the fulfillment of our
dreams. We will receive this daily instruction in the form of
urges and feelings. Our part is to respond, with confidence,
and do whatever we are led to do.

Sometimes it takes years to realize our dream and
sometimes it takes almost no time at all. Suppose you
decide you wanted to build a dam across the Mississippi
River, just above New Orleans. You don't have the money,
but you have the well-defined desire.
You start talking about it and pretty soon you begin to make
progress, but it takes seven years before the dam is a reality
and cars are using the dam as a bridge. But suppose that
you want new clothes. You go downtown and buy them
today. You can see that one case took seven years and
another case took one day or less.
To gain self-confidence, may I suggest some things for you
to do.
• Read this chapter, each night, before going to sleep
for 50 nights.
• Attend as many lectures as you can on positive
thinking.
• Obtain a recording on self-confidence and play it
over and over and over as often as possible to
yourself.
• Cultivate friends who have self-confidence.
• Associate, as much as possible, with people who have
lots of confidence.
• Expose yourself to every possible source of
information regarding the study of your mental
processes.
You are an individual. You are exclusive. You are important.
You are especially designed. You are no smaller or no larger
than any other person in the world. You have a special job

to do and enjoy and should not compare yourself with any
other person in the world.
May I challenge you to dare to dream big dreams for
yourself and your loved ones.
You can be anything you want to be and you can have
anything you want to have.
Make large plans for they have magic to stir men's
blood.
