Forthwith he decides (through self-suggestion) all men
are untrustworthy and all neighbors unappreciative.
These thoughts so deeply imbed themselves in his
subconscious mind that they color his whole attitude toward others. Go back,
now, to what was said in Lesson Two, about the dominating thoughts of a
man's mind attracting people whose thoughts are similar.
Apply the Law of Attraction and you will soon see and
understand why the unbeliever attracts other unbelievers.
Reverse the Principle
Here is a man who sees nothing but the best there is in all whom he meets.
If his neighbors seem indifferent he takes no notice of that fact, for he
makes it his business to fill his mind with dominating thoughts of optimism
and good cheer and faith in others. If people speak to him harshly he speaks
back in tones of softness. Through the operation of this same eternal Law of
Attraction he draws to himself the attention of people whose attitude toward
life and whose dominating thoughts harmonize with his own.
Tracing the principle a step further Here is a man who
has been well schooled and has the ability to
render the world some needed service. Somewhere, sometime, he has heard it
said that modesty is a great virtue and that to push himself to the front of
the stage in the game of life savors of egotism.Forthwith he decides (through

He quietly slips in at the back door and takes a seat at the rear while
other players in the game of life boldly step to the front. He remains
in the back row because he fears "what they will say."
Public opinion, or that which he believes to be public opinion, has him
pushed to the rear and the world hears but little of him. His schooling
counts for naught because he is afraid to let the world know that he
has had it. He is constantly suggesting to himself (thus using the
great force of Auto-suggestion to his own detriment) that he should
remain in the background lest he be criticized, as if criticism would do
him any damage or defeat his purpose.
