How can this be possible, that the act of doing
something generates the power to do it?
One answer comes from the psychologists. The
most conservative psychologists say that a person never
uses more than half of his actual capability. Others say that
we are operating only at one-tenth of our capacity. Thus,
depending on which psychologist is right, the very least
you can accomplish is twice as much, and it may amount
to ten times as much. So, since everybody normally oper-
ates at only a fraction of his potential, each of us can
accomplish much more just by trying ... just by doing.
DO the thing and you will have the power!
Henry Ford, who must have made some sort
of record for doing things, put it simply, "Whether you
believe you can do a thing or not-you are right."
Perhaps that's an over-simplification of a very
profound fact of life. Nevertheless, there is a great reservoir
of power ready to be used by anyone who begins to do
something. Do the thing and you will have the power.
Maybe the ego calls on the super ego, which
in tum draws the necessary power from an omnipotent
ultra ego.
Or to state it in other terms, your conscious
mind draws upon your subconscious mind, which, properly
used, has at its disposal the unlimited power of the univer-
sal mind, which theologians call the God-Mind, or simply,
God. Whatever the terminology, the fact is that there is
an unlimited supply of power, and as you do the thing, you
will have the power to accomplish it.
