You Can Become Strongest In Your Weakest Place

You Can Become Strongest In Your Weakest Place
This article is an excerpt from: The Amazing Results of  Positive Thinking – Norman Vincent Peale

You can become strongest in your weakest place. That is a fact of vast importance to you, to me, to everyone. Repeat that amazing statement aloud, allowing it to sink deeply into consciousness. It is absolutely true -  you can become strongest in your weakest place.That people can become altogether different - strong where they were weak,right where they were wrong,

Many people have demonstrated in various ways how you can become strongest in your weakest place. There was Glen Cunningham, whose legs were so badly burned as a child that he was told he would not walk again. But he became one of the fastest Olympic milers in history.

Glenn Cunningham told me that faith and positive thinking are 85 per cent of an athlete's success; in other words, believing that you can do it, "You have to perform on three levels," he explained, " physical, mental and spiritual. And the spiritual helps you to draw on power from the Master to help pull you through. And," he added, " I don't believe there is such a thing as an impossibility."

Paul Anderson was a sickly, puny weakling. In back of his house in Tacoma, Georgia, he constructed a homemade weight-lifting outfit. It consisted of blacksmith weights tied on the end of a stick. Paul Anderson became the strongest man in the world, breaking records and that had stood for decades.

Positive thinking looks upon weak places in people as challenging opportunities. You can turn them into your strongest points. The process of so doing is somewhat like that of welding. If a piece of metal breaks and is welded together, the weld is stronger than the metal, which surrounds it. At the point of intense heat  the molecular structure of the metal flows together.

A cabinet maker once told me that when two pieces of wood are reversed and glued together under heat, the wood will crack elsewhere before it will break at the glued point. This same process can and often does, take place in personality. Through the intense application of right thinking and strong faith, a weakness can actually become one's strongest point.

Well then, how do we go about turning a weak point into a strong point? The following six-point formula has been used most successfully.

1. Isolate your weakness, then study and know it thoroughly.
   Plan a real campaign against it.
2. Precisely specify the strength results you wish to attain.
3. Picture or visualize yourself as becoming strongest at your weakest point.
4. Immediately start becoming the strong person you wish to be.
5. Act as though you are strongest where you have been weakest.
6. Ask God to help you and believe that He does.

This formula was developed by H: C: Mattern, one of the most thoroughgoing positive thinkers I have known. H. C. Mattern himself is an example of how a man can change a serious weakness into real strength. He was thoroughly negative, in fact so negative that on a balmy night some years ago he walked into a lonely meadow on Long Island and tired to commit suicide. Life was worthless. There was no hope left. He had with him a vial of poison. He lifted it to his lips, drank it and slumped to the ground.

The next thing he knew he was opening his eyes and starring with astonishment into a moonlit sky. At first he wondered whether he was dead. He never did know why he did not die. He always believed, simply, that God wanted him to do a job in life. When he realized that he was still alive, suddenly he wanted very much to live. He thanked God for having spared him and dedicated himself to a life of helping other people.

Mattern became a unique positive thinker. He made it his mission in life to encourage others.

What weakness do you want to conquer? Is it fear? Anger? Hurt feelings? Inferiority? Disappointment? Is liquor your weakness? Or woman? Whatever it may be, one thing is sure, it does not need to keep on defeating you.

Remember...
this powerful fact; you can become strongest in your weakest place.
