Nobody can finish it down the ages without understanding that the entire reason for presence is GROWTH. Life is dynamic—not static. It is ever pushing ahead—not stopping. The one reprehensible sin of nature is to stop, to deteriorate. The Giganotosaurus, that was over a hundred feet in length and as large as a house; the Tyrannosaurus, that had the quality of a train and was the final say regarding ghastliness; the Pterodactyl or Flying Dragon—all the goliath beasts of Prehistoric Ages—are no more. They stopped to fill a valuable need. They didn't have a clue how to meet the evolving conditions. They stopped—deteriorated—while the life around them cruised them by.
Egypt and Persia, Greece and Rome, all the incomparable Empires of days of yore, died when they stopped to develop. China constructed a divider about herself stopped for a thousand years. Today she is the football of the Powers. In all Nature, to stop to develop is to die.
It is for people who are not prepared to stop, who will not stop to develop, that this book is composed. It will give you a more clear comprehension of your own possibilities, tell you the best way to work with and exploit the boundless vitality about you.
The dread of the man at the crossways, not knowing which street to take, will be no fear to you. Your future is of your own making. For the main law of Infinite Energy is the law of gracefully.

It is no less clever now than at any other time it was. You have yet to flexibly the inclination, to work in concordance with it, to get from it anything you may require.
For if this "Life Principle" is so solid in the least types of creature life that it can build up a shell or a toxin to address an issue; in the event that it can show the fledgling to circle and dart, to adjust and fly; on the off chance that it can grow another appendage on a bug to supplant a lost one, the amount more would it be able to accomplish for you—a thinking, discerning being, with a brain ready to work with this "Life Principle," with a vitality and an activity to ask it on!
The proof of this is about you. Take up some savage type of activity—paddling, tennis, swimming, riding. To start with your muscles are frail, effortlessly drained. Be that as it may, keep on for a couple of days. The "Existence Principle" speedily reinforces them, hardens them, to meet their new need. Do unpleasant difficult work—and what occurs?

Unexpectedly, the "Existence Principle" gives additional thicknesses, additional sturdiness—calluses, we call them—to address your issue.
All through your day by day life you will discover this "Life Principle" consistently grinding away. Grasp it, work with it, take it to yourself, and there isn't anything you can't do. The simple certainty that you have obstructions to defeat is in support of yourself, for when there is not something to be done, when things run along too easily, this "Life Principle" appears to rest. It is the point at which you need it, when you call upon it direly, that it is most at work.
It varies from "Karma" in this, that fortune is a flighty jade who grins frequently on the individuals who need her least. Stake your keep going penny on the turn of a card—have nothing among you and ruin except for the turn of a wheel or the speed of a pony—and it's a thousand to one "Karma" will abandon you! In any case, it is the polar opposite with the "Existence Principle." As long as things run easily, as long as life streams along like a melody, this "Life Principle" appears to sleep, secure in the information that your undertakings can deal with themselves.
However, let things begin turning out badly, let ruin and disfavor gaze you in the face—at that point is simply the time this "Life Principle" will champion itself on the off chance that you yet give it a possibility.
