0:00This isn't my usual type of content, but
0:02every once in a while I come across
0:04something so simple and so powerful that
0:07I feel it's worth sharing.
0:10Today, I want to share a short classic
0:12called [music] It Works. It's a very
0:15brief book. You can listen to or read
0:17the entire thing in less than 20 [music]
0:19minutes. Yet, despite its length, its
0:22message has inspired countless people
0:24[music] for decades.
0:27Whether you believe in the law of
0:28attraction, the power of focused
0:30intention, or simply the importance of
0:33having clear goals, I think you'll find
0:35something valuable here.
0:38Most importantly, the book doesn't
0:39[music] just present an idea. It ends
0:42with a practical exercise that you can
0:44immediately apply in your own life.
0:47It's simple, takes very little time, and
0:51many people have found it surprisingly
0:53effective when practiced consistently.
0:55[music]
0:56So, with an open mind, let's go through
0:59this timeless little book together.
1:02I hope it inspires you as much as it has
1:04inspired me and so many others.
1:08Have a listen.
1:10It works by R. H. J.
1:14The famous little red book that makes
1:16your dreams come true. [music]
1:18A clear, definite, common sense plan of
1:20accomplishment. Originally published in
1:231926.
1:25All who joy would win must share it.
1:28>> [music]
1:28>> Happiness was born a twin.
1:31Byron.
1:32The author sent the manuscript of this
1:34book for criticism to a friend [music]
1:36who returned it with the notation, It
1:38works.
1:40This judgment born of experience was
1:42adopted as the title of the book.
1:45A concise, definite, resultful plan with
1:47rules, explanations, and suggestions for
1:50bettering your condition in life.
1:53If you know what you want, you can have
1:55it.
1:57The man who wrote this book is highly
1:59successful
1:59>> [music]
2:00>> and widely known for his generosity and
2:02helpful spirit. He gives full credit for
2:05all that he has accomplished in [music]
2:07mastering circumstances, accumulating
2:09wealth, and winning friends to the
2:11silent working out of the simple,
2:14powerful truth which he tells of in his
2:16work.
2:18He shows you here an easy, open road to
2:20a larger, happier life.
2:24Knowing that the greatest good comes
2:26from helping others without expecting
2:28praise, [music]
2:29the author of this work has requested
2:31that his name be omitted.
2:33What is the real secret of obtaining
2:36desirable possessions? Are some people
2:38born under a lucky star or other charm
2:41which enables them to have all that
2:43which seems so desirable?
2:45And if not, what is the cause of the
2:48difference in conditions under which men
2:50live?
2:52Many years ago, feeling that there must
2:54be a logical answer to this question, I
2:56decided to find out, if possible, what
2:59it was.
3:00I found the answer to my own
3:02satisfaction, and for years have given
3:05the information to others who have used
3:07it successfully. [music]
3:09From a scientific, psychological, or
3:11theological viewpoint, some of the
3:13following statements may be interpreted
3:15as incorrect, but nevertheless, the plan
3:18has brought the results desired [music]
3:20to those who have followed the simple
3:21instructions, and it is my sincere
3:24belief that I am now presenting it in a
3:26way which will bring happiness and
3:28possessions [music]
3:29to many more.
3:32"If wishes were horses, beggars would
3:34ride" is the attitude taken by the
3:37average man and woman in regard to
3:39possessions. [music]
3:41They're not aware of a power so near
3:43that it is overlooked, so simple in
3:45operation that it is difficult to
3:47conceive, and so sure in results that it
3:50is not made use of consciously or
3:53recognized as the cause of failure or
3:55success. [music]
3:57"Gee, I wish that were mine." is the
3:59outburst of Jimmy, [music]
4:01the office boy, as a new red roadster
4:03goes by.
4:05And Florence, the telephone operator,
4:07expresses the same thought regarding a
4:09ring in the jeweler's window.
4:11While poor old Jones, the bookkeeper,
4:14[music]
4:14during the Sunday stroll, replies to his
4:17wife,
4:18"Yes, dear, it would be nice to have a
4:20home like that,
4:22but it is out of the question.
4:25We will have to continue to rent."
4:28Landem, [music]
4:29the salesman, protests that he does all
4:31the work, gets the short end of the
4:34money, and will someday quit his job and
4:36find a real one.
4:38And President Bondem, in his private
4:40sanctorum, voices a bitter tirade
4:43against the annual attack of hay fever.
4:47At home, it is much the same.
4:49>> [music]
4:49>> Last evening, father declared that
4:51daughter Mabel was headed straight for
4:53disaster. And today, mother's allowance
4:56problem and other trying affairs fade
4:59into insignificance as she exclaims,
5:02"This is the last straw.
5:04Robert's school teacher wants to see me
5:06this [music] afternoon. His reports are
5:08terrible, I know, but I'm late for
5:10bridge now. She'll have to wait until
5:13tomorrow."
5:15So goes the endless stream of
5:16expressions like these from millions of
5:19people in all classes who give no
5:21thought to what they really want and who
5:24are getting all they are entitled to
5:26[music] or expect.
5:29If you're one of these millions of
5:30thoughtless talkers or wishers and would
5:33like a decided change from your present
5:35condition,
5:36you can have it.
5:38But first of all,
5:39you must know what you [music] want. And
5:41this is no easy task.
5:44When you can train your objective mind,
5:46the mind you use every day
5:49>> [music]
5:49>> to decide definitely upon the things or
5:51conditions you desire,
5:53you will have taken your first big step
5:55[music] in accomplishing or securing
5:57what you know you want.
5:59To get what you want is no more
6:01mysterious or uncertain than the radio
6:04waves all around you.
6:06Tune in [music] correctly and you get a
6:08perfect result.
6:10But to do this, it is, [music] of
6:11course, necessary to know something of
6:14your equipment and have a plan of
6:16operations.
6:17You have within you a mighty power
6:20anxious [music] and willing to serve
6:22you.
6:23A power capable of giving you that which
6:26you [music] earnestly desire.
6:29This power is described by Thomson J.
6:31Hudson, PhD, LLD, author of The Law of
6:36Psychic Phenomena, as your subjective
6:38mind.
6:39Other learned writers use different
6:41names and terms, [music]
6:42but all agree that it is omnipotent.
6:45Therefore, I call this power Immanuel,
6:49God in us.
6:51Regardless of the name of the great
6:53power or the conscious admission of a
6:55God, the power is capable and [music]
6:58willing to carry to a complete and
7:00perfect conclusion every earnest desire
7:03of your objective mind.
7:05>> [music]
7:05>> But you must be really in earnest about
7:07what you want.
7:09Occasional wishing or half-hearted
7:11wanting does not form a perfect
7:14connection or communication
7:16>> [music]
7:16>> with your omnipotent power.
7:21You must be in earnest, sincerely
7:23[music] and truthfully desiring certain
7:26conditions or things, mental, physical,
7:29or spiritual. [music]
7:31Your objective mind and will are so
7:33vacillating that you usually only wish
7:36for things and the wonderful, capable
7:38power [music] within you does not
7:41function.
7:42Most wishes are simply vocal
7:44expressions. [music]
7:45Jimmy, the office boy, gave no thought
7:47of possessing the red roadster.
7:49>> [music]
7:50>> Landem, the salesman, was not thinking
7:52of any other job or even thinking at
7:54all.
7:55President Bondem knew he had hay fever
7:58and was expecting it.
7:59Father's business was quite likely
8:01successful and mother no doubt brought
8:03home first prize from the bridge party
8:06that day,
8:07but they had no fixed idea of what they
8:09really wanted their children to
8:10accomplish and were actually helping to
8:12bring about the unhappy conditions which
8:15[music] existed.
8:17If you are in earnest about changing
8:19your present condition,
8:20here is a concise, definite, resultful
8:23plan with rules, explanations, and
8:27[music] suggestions.
8:30The plan.
8:31Write down on paper in order of their
8:33importance the things and conditions you
8:35really want.
8:36>> [music]
8:37>> Do not be afraid of wanting too much.
8:40Go the limit in writing down your wants.
8:42Change the [music] list daily, adding to
8:45or taking from it until you have it
8:47about right.
8:49Do not be discouraged on account of
8:51changes, as this is natural.
8:54There will always be changes and
8:56additions with accomplishments [music]
8:58and increasing desires.
9:00Three positive rules of accomplishment.
9:03One.
9:04Read the [music] list of what you want
9:06three times each day.
9:08Morning, noon, and night.
9:12Two.
9:13Think of what you want as often as
9:15possible.
9:16Three.
9:18Do not talk to anyone about your plan
9:20except to the great power within you,
9:22which will unfold to your objective mind
9:24the method of accomplishment.
9:27It is obvious that you cannot acquire
9:29faith at the start.
9:30>> [music]
9:30>> Some of your desires, from all practical
9:33reasoning, may seem positively
9:35unattainable,
9:36but nevertheless, write them down in
9:39your list in their proper [music] place
9:41of importance to you.
9:43There is no need to analyze how this
9:46power within you is going to accomplish
9:48your desires.
9:50Such a procedure is as unnecessary
9:52[music] as trying to figure out why a
9:54grain of corn, placed in fertile soil,
9:57shoots up a green stalk, blossoms, and
10:00produces an ear of corn containing
10:02hundreds of grains, each capable of
10:04doing what the one [music] grain did.
10:07If you will follow this definite plan
10:09and carry out the three simple [music]
10:11rules, the method of accomplishment will
10:13unfold quite as mysteriously as the ear
10:16of corn appears on the stalk, and in
10:19most cases much sooner than you expect.
10:22When new desires, deserving position at
10:24or about the top of your list, come to
10:26you, [music]
10:27then you may rest assured you are
10:29progressing correctly.
10:31Removing from your list items which at
10:33first you thought [music] you wanted is
10:35another sure indication of progress.
10:38It is natural to be skeptical and have
10:40doubts, [music] distrust, and
10:41questionings. But, when these thoughts
10:43arise, get out your list.
10:46Read it over.
10:47Or, if you have it memorized, [music]
10:50talk to your inner self about your
10:51desires until the doubts that interfere
10:54with your progress [music] are gone.
10:57Remember, nothing can prevent your
10:59having that which you earnestly desire.
11:03Others have these things.
11:05Why not you?
11:07The omnipotent power within you does not
11:09enter into any controversial argument.
11:12It is waiting and willing to serve when
11:14you are ready. But, your objective mind
11:16is so susceptible [music] to suggestion
11:19that it's almost impossible to make any
11:21satisfactory progress when surrounded by
11:23skeptics. Therefore,
11:25choose your friends [music] carefully
11:27and associate with people who now have
11:29some of the things you really [music]
11:31want. But, do not discuss your method of
11:33accomplishment with them.
11:36Put down in your list of wants such
11:38material things as money, home,
11:40automobile, or whatever it may be.
11:43Do not stop there.
11:45Be more definite.
11:47If you want an automobile, decide what
11:50kind, style, [music]
11:51price, color, and all other details,
11:54including when you want it. If you want
11:57a home, plan the structure, [music]
11:59grounds, and furnishings. Decide on
12:01location and cost. If you want money,
12:05write down the amount. If you want to
12:07break a record in your business, put it
12:09down. It may be a sales record. If so,
12:12write out the total, the date required,
12:16then the number of items you must sell
12:18to make [music] it. Also, list your
12:19prospects and put after each name the
12:22sum [music] expected.
12:24This may seem very foolish at first, but
12:27you can never realize your desires if
12:29you do not know how positively and in
12:32detail what you want and when you want
12:35it.
12:35>> [music]
12:36>> If you cannot decide this,
12:38you are not in earnest.
12:40You must be definite. [music]
12:42And when you are, results will be
12:44surprising and almost unbelievable.
12:48A natural and ancient enemy will no
12:50doubt appear when you get your first
12:52taste of accomplishment.
12:54This enemy is discredit [music]
12:56in form of such thoughts as
12:58it can't be possible.
13:00It just happened to be.
13:02What a remarkable coincidence.
13:05When such thoughts occur, give thanks
13:08and assert credit to your omnipotent
13:10power for the accomplishment.
13:12By doing this, you gain assurance and
13:15more accomplishment, and in time,
13:17>> [music]
13:17>> prove to yourself that there is a law
13:20which actually works at all times when
13:22you are in tune with it.
13:24Sincere and earnest thanks cannot be
13:27given without gratitude, [music]
13:29and it is impossible to be thankful and
13:31grateful without being happy.
13:34Therefore, when you are thanking your
13:36greatest and [music] best friend, your
13:38omnipotent power, for the gifts
13:40received, do so with all your soul, and
13:44let it be reflected in your face.
13:47The power and what it does is beyond
13:50understanding.
13:52Do not try to understand it, but accept
13:55the accomplishment with thankfulness,
13:57happiness, and strengthened faith.
14:00Caution.
14:01It is possible to want and obtain that
14:04which will make you miserable.
14:06That which will wreck the happiness of
14:08others.
14:10That which will cause sickness and
14:12death.
14:13That which will rob you of eternal life.
14:17You can have what you want,
14:19but you must take all that goes with it.
14:22So, in planning your wants, plan that
14:24which you are sure will give to you and
14:27your fellow man the greatest [music]
14:29good here on Earth.
14:31Thus paving way to that future hope
14:34beyond the pale of human understanding.
14:39This method of securing what you want
14:41applies to everything you are capable of
14:43desiring, and the scope being so great,
14:46it is suggested that your first list
14:48consists only of those things
14:50>> [music]
14:50>> with which you are quite familiar,
14:52such as an amount of money or
14:54accomplishment or the possession of
14:56material things.
14:58Such desires as these are more easily
15:00and quickly obtained than the
15:02discontinuance of fixed [music] habits,
15:04the welfare of others, and the healing
15:07of mental or bodily ills.
15:10Accomplish [music] the lesser things
15:11first, then take the next step, and when
15:15that is accomplished, you will seek the
15:17higher and really important objectives
15:20in [music] life.
15:21But long before you reach the stage of
15:23your progress, many worthwhile [music]
15:25desires will find their place on your
15:28list.
15:30One will be to help others as you have
15:32been helped.
15:34Great is the reward to those who help
15:36and give without thought of self
15:39as it is impossible to be unselfish
15:41without gain.
15:43In conclusion, a short while ago Dr.
15:46Emile Coue came to this country and
15:48showed thousands of people how to help
15:50themselves. Thousands of others spoofed
15:52at the idea, refused his assistance, and
15:55are today where they were before his
15:58visit.
15:59So, with the statements and plan
16:00presented to you now, you can reject or
16:03[music] accept. You can remain as you
16:05are or have anything you want.
16:09The choice is yours, but God grant that
16:11you may find in this short volume the
16:13inspiration to choose a right. Follow
16:16the plan and thereby obtain, [music] as
16:19so many others have, all things,
16:21whatever they may be, that you desire.
16:25Read the entire book over again and
16:27again and then again.
16:30Memorize the three simple rules on
16:32[music] pages 13 and 14.
16:34Test them now on what you want
16:36>> [music]
16:36>> most this minute.
16:39This book could have extended easily
16:40over 350 pages,
16:42>> [music]
16:42>> but it has been deliberately shortened
16:44to make it as easy as possible for you
16:46to read, understand, [music] and use.
16:49Will you try it?
16:51Thousands of bettered lives will testify
16:53to the fact that
16:54>> [music]
16:54>> it works.
16:57A letter to you from the author.
17:00Dear reader,
17:01the great possessions of life are all
17:04gifts mysteriously bestowed.
17:06>> [music]
17:06>> Sight, hearing, aspiration, love, or
17:10life itself.
17:12The same is true of ideas. The richest
17:14of them are given to us as for instance
17:17>> [music]
17:17>> the powerful idea which this book has
17:19given you. What are you going to do with
17:22it?
17:22Are you surprised when I tell you the
17:24most profitable thing you can do
17:26>> [music]
17:26>> is give it away?
17:28You can do this in an easy and practical
17:31way by having this book sent [music] to
17:33those you know who need it.
17:37In this way, you can help in the
17:38distribution of this worthwhile effort
17:41>> [music]
17:41>> to make the lives of others better and
17:44happier.
17:46You know people who are standing still
17:48or who are worried and discouraged. This
17:51is your chance to help them help
17:53themselves. [music]
17:54If you withhold this book from them, you
17:56will lose the conscious satisfaction
17:58that comes from doing good.
18:01If you see that they get this book, then
18:03you put yourself in line with the law of
18:05life which says, you get by giving and
18:09you may rightly expect [music]
18:10prosperity and achievement.
18:13At the very least, you will have the
18:15inner sense of having done a good deed
18:17with no hope of being openly thanked and
18:20your reward will come secretly in added
18:23power and larger life.
18:26The author.
18:28And that brings us to the end of this
18:30book.
18:31Now, the most important part [music]
18:33begins.
18:34Putting these ideas into practice.
18:37Don't let this be something you listen
18:38to once and then forget.
18:41Come back to this video again and again.
18:44Repetition helps reinforce the message
18:47and the exercise at the end is designed
18:49to become part of your daily routine.
18:52Give yourself time, stay consistent, and
18:55pay attention to the changes that begin
18:57to unfold in your thinking, your
18:59actions, and the opportunities that come
19:01your way.
19:03Small, consistent efforts often lead to
19:05meaningful results. If you found this
19:08video valuable, I'd appreciate it if you
19:10gave it a like, subscribe to the
19:12channel, and shared it with someone who
19:14might benefit from hearing this message.
19:17Thank you so much for spending your time
19:19with me today.
19:21I truly appreciate your support, and I
19:23look forward to seeing you again in the
19:25next video.
19:27Until then, take care of yourself, keep
19:30believing in what's possible,
19:32and goodbye.
