Desire: Develop a strong enthusiasm for what you want—a genuine longing for something that is not yet present in your life.

Decide: Know exactly what you want to do, have, or experience, and be willing to pay the necessary price in spiritual values.

Ask: When you are certain and enthusiastic about your desire, ask for it in simple, concise language.

Believe: Have strong faith in its accomplishment, both consciously and subconsciously.

Work at It: Spend a few minutes each day seeing yourself in the completed picture. Do not try to determine every detail; simply imagine yourself enjoying the fulfillment of your desire.

Feel Gratitude: Remember to say, “Thank you, God,” and feel genuine gratitude in your heart. These three words can become a powerful prayer when they are accompanied by sincere feeling.

Expect Good: Train yourself to live in a state of happy expectancy. Practice it until it becomes a natural part of you.
