'Megaliving' Introduction excerpts

...You can make your world the bed of roses that you have always dreamed of, the decision is yours alone. If you want this kind of a magical existence,the golden key is to remember that your mind is the sole author of your success. If you master your thoughts, you master your mind. Once you master your mind, you master your life and when you master your life you master your destiny.

Past experiences, failures or trouble spots have nothing to do with the potential that exists within you. If anything, past failure has made you far wiser and stronger than you would have been without the benefit of the experience. Pain is a teacher. Today, and every day, take complete charge and responsibility for your life and all that is in it. If you don’t have enough money and want more, decide to make changes and take determined action to realize your dreams. If you want better health and more energy, make a decision from your very core to achieve greater vitality. If you want ideal relationships, dedicate yourself to becoming the kind of person that sustains such bonds. But it will not just come to you by chance. If you keep doing the same things every day, you are certain to get the same results every day. Winners are no different from less successful people, they have just learned to do different things that give them their fabulous results.

... Small victories lead to large victories. Once you start feeling more vital and energetic, you will start achieving even more because you cannot do good unless you feel good. This leads to another primary principle of successful living:
we are happiest when we are growing and feeling that we are contributing in some way. The purpose of life is a life of purpose and we all, deep down,want to leave a legacy of some form or another. When you dedicate yourself to tapping into the extraordinary potential of your mind, body and spirit, you set powerful forces into play and things start to happen in every aspect of your life. And when you know that you are improving, your confidence and enthusiasm starts to blossom. And when your enthusiasm starts to blossom, your passion and energy blooms. And when your energy starts to explode you start to create opportunity after opportunity for success in your life. Perhaps the great philosopher of India, Patanjali said it best: “When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all of your thoughts break their bonds, your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction and you find yourself in anew great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.”
