want　and　to　want　it　badly　enough　so　that　it　will　stay　in　your　thoughts。

And　unless　you　really　want　to　get　rich；　so　that　the　desire　is　strong　enough　to　hold　your　thoughts　directed　to　the　purpose　as　the　magnetic　pole　holds　the　needle　of　the　pass。

The　more　clear　and　definite　you　make　your　picture　then；　and　the　more　you　dwell　upon　it；　bringing　out　all　its　delightful　details；　the　stronger　your　desire　will　be。　And　the　stronger　your　desire；　the　easier　it　will　be　to　hold　your　mind　fixed　upon　the　picture　of　what　you　want。
