The Power of
Concentration - Introduction
By Theron
Q. Dumont
We all know that
in order to accomplish a certain thing we must concentrate. It is of
the utmost value to learn how to concentrate. To make a success of
anything you must be able to concentrate your entire thought upon the
idea you are working out.
Do not become discouraged, if you are unable to hold your thought on
the subject very long at first. There are very few that can. It seems a
peculiar fact that it is easier to concentrate on something that is not
good for us, than on something that is beneficial. This tendency is
overcome when we learn to concentrate consciously.
If you will just practice a few concentration exercises each day you
will find you will soon develop this wonderful power.
Success is assured when you are able to concentrate for you are then
able to utilize for your good all constructive thoughts and shut out
all the destructive ones. It is of the greatest value to be able to
think only that which will be beneficial.
Did you ever stop to think what an important part your thoughts,
concentrated thoughts, play in your life? This book shows their
far-reaching and all-abiding effects.
These lessons you will find very practical. The exercises I have
thoroughly tested. They are arranged so that you will notice an
improvement from the very start, and this will give you encouragement.
They point out ways in which you can help yourself.
Man is a wonderful creature, but he must be trained and developed to be
useful. A great work can be accomplished by every man if he can be
awakened to do his very best. But the greatest man would not accomplish
much if he lacked concentration and effort. Dwarfs can often do the
work of giants when they are transformed by the almost magic power of
great mental concentration. But giants will only do the work of dwarfs
when they lack this power.
We accomplish more by concentration than by fitness; the man that is
apparently best suited for a place does not always fill it best. It is
the man that concentrates on its every possibility that makes an art of
both his work and his life.
All your real advancement must come from your individual effort.
This course of lessons will stimulate and inspire you to achieve
success; it will bring you into perfect harmony with the laws of
success. It will give you a firmer hold on your duties and
responsibilities.
The methods of thought concentration given in this work if put into
practice will open up interior avenues that will connect you with the
everlasting laws of Being and their exhaustless foundation of
unchangeable truth.
As most people are very different it is impossible to give instructions
that will be of the same value to all. The author has endeavored in
these lessons to awaken that within the soul which perhaps the book
does not express. So study these lessons as a means of awakening and
training that which is within you. Let all your acts and thoughts have
the intensity and power of concentration.
To really get the full benefit of these lessons you should read a page,
then close the book and thoughtfully recall its ideas. If you will do
this you will soon cultivate a concentrated mental habit, which will
enable you to read with ordinary rapidity and remember all that you
read.
