The power of PMA is great. It can help anyone to achieve wherever he or she wants to go. Where you go with PMA is entirely up to you. But you can set a goal for yourself and attain it by changing only one thing about your life - Your Attitude to everyone and everything that you encounter for better.

3. Step One: Take possession of
your mind with conviction

emotions, moods, feelings, intellect,
tendencies, attitudes, passions and

• ‘Always bear in mind that your own
resolution to success is more
important than any other one thing.’
by Abraham Lincoln

4. Step two: Keep your mind on the things you
want and off the things you don't want
1. 'vision statements'- what are these?
2. 'A picture is worth a thousand
words'.
Step for visualization
– Make a list of three things you
want in life.
– Think of a way to show them
visually
– Put pictures of these where you
will see them every day
'Our doubts are traitors, and
make us lose the good we might
oft win by fearing to attempt‘ by
Shakespeare

5. Step three: Live the golden rule
Do for others as you would have
them do for you or vice versa, do not
do for others what you would not
have them do for you.
When you meet a man without a
smile, give him one of yours.
Think of three things you would like
people to do for you. Turn them
around. How can you do each of
them for some one else around you?
'What you do not want done to
yourself, do not to others‘ by
Confucius

6. Step four: Eliminate all negative
thoughts by self inspection
PMA teaches that negative thoughts are
product of past and if we want to develop a
PMA, we have to keep a check on our
negative thoughts.
Look at the list of negative thoughts at
start of each day and ask yourself: am I
still thinking about such thoughts I refuse
to let inside me?
'Self-trust is the first secret of success'.
By Ralph Waldo Emerson

7. Step five: Be happy and make
others happy too
Simple rules
• The best outcome that could
happen to my challenge is might
be.
2. This could happy. After all, its very
possible that could happen.
• Take a few minutes every day and
think about the goals you want to
achieve. Picture yourself as having
already achieved these objectives.
 ' Use your weaknesses; aspire to
the strength.‘
by Laurence Olivier

8. Step six: Form a habit of tolerance
Keep an open mind towards people and
try to like and accept people just as they
are instead of demanding or wishing that
they be as you want them to be.
Think of one person you have trouble
accepting and write that person's name.
Now ask yourself, if I did accept that
person just as he or she is, how would I
behave? What would I actually do?
Visualize your answer in concrete terms.
Then do it.

9. Step seven: Give yourself
positive suggestions
We become what we think about most of
the time.
There are three forms of control you may
exert over your mind:
o Suggestion,
o Self suggestion and
o Auto-suggestion.
PMA teaching suggests programming
ones mind on basis of NINO:
Nourishment in, nourishment out.
What your mind can conceive and
believe, you can achieve with PMA. by
Napoleon Hill

10. Step eight: Use your power of prayer
When you pray, have faith and believe in
that which you ask for.
Don't tell your God how big your
problems are, but tell your problems how
big God is.
God knows what is better for us and at
what time should we be given the thing,
which we are asking.
'As in poetry, so in prayer, the whole
subject matter should be furnished by
the heart‘.
By Edward Payson

11. Step nine: Set Goals
Setting goals is one way to keep you
mind on the things you want and off the
things you don't want.
Starting point for achieving goals is
found in the six letter word DESIRE:
– Determine,
– Evaluate,
– Set,
– Identify, and
– Repeat Each day
'Every noble 'York is at first impossible'.
by Thomas Carlyle
