This short and simple guide will help you find the correct mind-set to begin to change your life for the better. This little book has inspired millions. "It is wise to know what comes first, and what to do first. To begin anything in the middle or at the end is to make a muddle of it." -James Allen The five principles are five practices, five avenues to achievement, and five source of knowledge. It is an old saying and a good rule that “Practice makes perfect,” and he who would make his own the wisdom which is inherent in those principles, must not merely have them on his lips, they must be established in his heart. Foreword Right principles Sound methods True actions True speech Equal-mindedness Good results "How does a man begin the building of a house? He first secures a plan of the proposed edifice, and then proceeds to build according to the plan, scrupulously following it in every detail, beginning with the foundation. Should he neglect the beginning - the beginning on a mathematical plan - his labour would be wasted, and his building, should it reach completion without tumbling to pieces, would be insecure and worthless. The same law holds good in any important work; the right beginning and first essential is a definite mental plan on which to build.” “This is one of the last manuscripts written by James Allen. He never wrote theories but he wrote when he had a message, and it became a message only when he had lived it out in his own life, and knew that it was good. Thus he wrote facts, which he had proven by practice. To live out the teaching of this book faithfully in every detail of life will lead one to more than happiness and success — even to Blessedness, Satisfaction and Peace.” -LILY L. ALLEN
