Concentration is the great secret of power. If you want to use your full amount of steam, you must close your valves and direct your power of generating mental steam toward one end. Center your mind on one purpose, one plan and one transaction at any one time. Just as it is impossible for a steam engine to run with all its valves open, so is it impossible for you to waste your energy and run at your top speed. The difference in manifestation of power among men lies in the difference of their concentration.

Through concentration you can get anything you want. Every desire can be  gratified. But whether it is, will depend upon you concentrating to have that desire fulfilled. When you focus on what you want in order to manifest it, you are concentrating your power towards it. The greatest manifestors are the ones with the greatest concentration. The most successful people are those with the greatest focus. Concentration in its intensity and duration is the key of all perseverance, diligence, patience and will power.

Feel that you can accomplish anything you undertake. Many undertake to do things, but feel when they start they are going to fail and usually they do. When you start something with the belief that you can succeed at it, you would persevere at it until you make it work. Your soul is a center of all-power, and you can accomplish what you will to. “I’ll find a way or make one!” is the spirit that wins. Having a belief that you can succeed is what makes you continue despite failures until you’re finally successful.

The whole secret of concentrating on getting what you want is to move from one thing that doesn’t work on to another one until you finally get to that which can bring you what you want. If this thing doesn’t work, fine. You move on to the next one. You never stop until you get what you want. You keep on changing what you are doing, with whom you are doing and where you are doing it. You never give up and you never take no as an answer. It takes the greatest concentration to achieve the greatest things.

When you are in deep concentration, you will become linked with thoughts of omnipotence. You are single minded on your intent and hence you will kill out entirely your belief in your limitations and at the same time drive away all fear and other negative and destructive thought forces which constantly work against you. In the place of these you will build up a strong assurance that your every venture will be successful. This is the secret of how some people succeed in everything they do and never actually fail.

God can never fail. God has infinite concentration, will and faith. The more we think in alignment with greater concentration, will and faith, the more we are being God. Who we really are is God consciousness in individual form. Therefore we can never really fail. All failures are illusions. They only appear as failures because they are half the full picture. Through concentration, you eventually experience the rest of the picture and see failures as part of greater success. Every evil becomes part of the greatest good.

Use the mental demand with every power of your mind to make the demand materialize. You can so intently desire a thing that you exclude all distracting thoughts. When you practice this singleness of concentration until you attain the results you seek, you have developed a Will capable of accomplishing whatever you wish. A relaxed mind can concentrate more easily than a tight mind. What causes tightness is resistance. When you relax and allow things to be, you can concentrate joyfully and effortlessly.

The mental demand is a strong declaration on what you want. That is when you are being fully intentional. Half hearted desires that are weakly concentrated upon create weak thought forms. Full hearted desires that are fully concentrated upon create strong thought forms. The difference in the strength of your many thought forms results in their corresponding significant or fleeting manifestations. In order to have anything significant, you must first have a strong mental demand for it to bring it into manifesting.

You must achieve beyond the ordinary to be great. It is easy to do this if you will but concentrate on what you desire, and put forth your best effort. It is not the runner with the longest legs or the strongest muscles that wins the race, but the one that can put forth the greatest desire force. They start off together and gradually they increase their desire to go faster. The one that has the greatest intensity of desire will win. He may outdistance the other by only a fraction of an inch, yet he ends up with the prize.

Once the Mental Demand is made, never let it falter. If you do the current that connects you with your desire is broken. Take all the time needed to build a firm foundation, so that there need not be even an element of doubt to creep in. Just the moment you entertain “doubt” you lose some of the demand force, and force once lost is hard to regain. So whenever you make a mental demand, hold steadfastly to it until your need is supplied. The easy way to do it is to focus on pure desire without any resistance.

If you want a great deal you must demand a great deal. Once you make your demand, anticipate its fulfillment. It depends upon us. We are rewarded according to our efforts. According to your faith, so be it unto you. Faith is focus. The Power of Mental Demand can bring us what we want. We become what we determine to be. We control our own destiny. To have no doubt, you simply do not resist what you do not want. In that way, you can demand what you want without worrying about not getting.
