I have it all already
Main idea:
Central idea:
The central idea of this chapter is that our current situation does not matter.
we can be very successful and have what we have always wanted in life, or
we can, on the contrary, be far from what for us is our
happiness, but regardless of what we have and what we are so far

people, that’s why we must always strive to improve continuously
and learn, and we will achieve it as long as we set goals, think
positively, we visualize ourselves achieving success and have faith in God and
in ourselves.
Comentario:
Reading teaches us that we are very powerful under the premise that
we are what we think

actions and that we can achieve anything we desire, that's why there is
danger in believing that we already have it all, for we can soon lose it.
Message that reading leaves: You never have everything, there is always something.
Personal Opinion: The chapter is very good although it should include more.

Chapter 2:
Central idea:
The central idea is that the only thing that guarantees success is not knowledge,
neither education, nor training, nor experience, nor money what
guaranteeing success is having faith in oneself so that life is worth living because
faith is the beginning to ensure success in human life. As well
William said, "Have faith that life is worth living and your faith will contribute to

Central idea: The central idea of this chapter is about the thinker
Positive is a director who achieves powerful results for various
reasons. He is not afraid or bewildered by the phenomenon known as a
problem. The positive thinker knows that good results have their
roots in the fertile ground of difficult problems. When God wants you
to give someone great value, it proceeds in a subtle, clever manner one could say.
Often a great and difficult problem buries a great value in the heart.
A problem is a symptom of life. The positive thinker is alive: mentally alive.

Positive aspects: One of the most relevant aspects is that when someone
it can be found, the problem can be opened and a solution can be given
appropriate. Applying positive faith, believing and asking for God's help is done
necessary.” Just as the title of this beautiful book says: “the thinkers
positives achieve powerful results" and it is an absolute truth both

In the midst of the cyclone that tears the sky, there is a central point of calm.
Personal Opinion: One should always 'At night when going to bed'

correct ones”. God loves us and knows that we can handle a problem because

Once you understand the variability of the spirit, the next step
consists of developing the understanding of the law of the spirit and understanding the
