But the words "calmly wait" refer only to the state of mind - and indicates that calm, confident expectation of a "sure thing." It does not mean that a man shall sit down and fold his hands and do nothing more than "calmly wait" for "hurrying fat" to drop his reward in his lap. Oh, no. Helen Wilmans never meant that - she is not built that way. The man, who is possessed of the dominating desire, and concentrated thought impulses, does not sit down and merely wait - he couldn't do that without sacrificing his keen desire and earnest pursuit. "Thought manifests itself in Action" - the firmer the thought, the stronger the action. You may want a thing in the worst way, and be fully confident of your ability to secure it, but you are going after that thing the best way you know how, and are "going to get it." You will agree with Garfield, who said, "Do not wait for a thing to turn up - go out and turn something up," with all your might and main, but carrying with you the calm demand that that thing will be "turned up as the result of your going out and turning." And you will feel all the time the confident expectation of the "thing" obeying your command.

I wish that my space would allow me to tell you of the wonderful results of this plan of thinking and acting, but I can merely touch upon it and call your attention to the workings of the Law. But, after all, one must learn a thing by experience before they will appreciate its truth. The I AM is not satisfied in any other way. I want everyone who reads this lesson to start in and practice the New Thought plan. You will have to accept what I say on faith, at first, but you will soon begin to demonstrate its correctness by personal experience, and then you will know it to be true, and will push forward toward Success.
