that brain happens to be a weakling fraidie-cat, he will do nothing but groan over the conditions in his stomach; he will lament and ache with it, instead of bracing up and demanding power to change those conditions.
Wherever the individual’s ATTENTION goes his power goes too. All the individual needs to do is to say the word for his power to pitch in and make things straight. Until he does that his power stands around and waits, just as all the pocketbooks in the United States just waited until Roosevelt pulled himself together and called resolutely for money.

When the individual takes that same positive, resolute, commanding and full-of-faith. attitude, he may ask what he will and it shall be done unto him. He may say the word which will send through his body an electric thrill of health, with a concentration of power in any desired spot.
He may open up every one of those ganglionic centers of power and send their surplus of energy to any given point, for any given purpose. In his own domain he may arise a greater than Roosevelt.
Every ganglion in the body is a storage battery of both wisdom and will, drawn originally through the central battery of the solar plexus.
