It is important that you identify yourself

with that greater financial supply which you desire.

You cannot do this by thinking about it

as though it were impossible or even unlikely,

or regretting that you do not now have it.

Instead, you must train yourself to think about it

with a feeling that it is only reasonable and natural

for it to be yours – yes, that it already is yours.
