Welcome to Our Sunday Talks, an exclusive series for the patrons of the Inspirational Living Podcast. This talk was edited and adapted from Creative Mind and Success by Ernest S. Holmes, published in 1923. All outer success first takes place within ourselves. Creation is eternally flowing through all things. Reality is always working from that inner pattern. We do not struggle with conditions. We use principles which create conditions. What we can mentally encompass.
We can accomplish no matter how hard it may seem from the outside. All external things are but the outer rim of inner thought activity. You can easily prove this for yourself. Business say running an ice cream stand and are not doing good business Look carefully into your own thought and see what you find. Likely will find an established belief that business is not good. You thus are not feeling a sense of activity. Also now find within your thoughts any feeling of success. You thus are not expecting many customers. Now suppose a man comes along and says to you, What is the matter?
Are you not doing more business? This is what your answer might likely be. People don't seem to Want what I have to sell, or perhaps something like this. I am too old to compete with modern methods, or even, well, times are hard. All of this is negative thought. Now this man to whom you are talking does not believe. Evil word you have said.

At this point you become indignant and ask if he means to tell you that you want to fail. Of course he knows you do not and explains that while you wish success, you are thinking Fearing it, and that there is a law that makes your thought manifest itself. So what am I to do about it? you ask. This is what you must do, the man says. Every time you have a thought of failure, replace it with a strong radiant thought of success. Speak activity into your business.
See nothing but activity, and know that it is law that you are using, universal law, and as such your thought is as sure as the thought of God. Daily you are going to give to the great creative mind exactly what you are doing. You want to happen. You will see only what you desire and in the silence of your soul, you will speak and it will be done unto you. You will... Come to believe that a great divine love flows through you in your affairs. You will be grateful for this love. This new attitude will fill your life. It will satisfy your soul. You will become a different person. You will be so filled with activity and courage. That when you meet people, they will wonder at your energy. They will begin to wish simply to...
Come in contact with you. They will feel uplifted. In the course of a few months, you will be a success. People will come to you and say, How did you do it? Your answer will be, I did it. The same as I've given to you now.
