Outwitting The Devil by Napoleon Hillby Parker on TwosYou are where you are and what you are because of your thoughts and your deeds.All deeds follow thoughts. There can be no deeds without their having first been patterned in thought.Your mind attracts that which your mind dwells upon.As long as you fear something, the devil has a grip on you.Children are forced to take on the nature of all influences of those around them unless their own thoughts are stronger than the influences.The person who thinks in terms of power, success, opulence, sets up a rhythm which attracts these desirable possessions. The person who thinks in terms of misery, failure, defeat, discouragement, and poverty attracts these undesirable influences. This explains why both success and failure are the result of habit. Habit establishes one's rhythm of thought, and that rhythm attracts the object of one's dominating thoughts.
