I was introduced to Orison Swett Marden’s works when I read The Miracle of Right Thought in 1960, following my journey with Think and Grow Rich and The Master Key, by Hill and Haanel respectively.

What I really wanted to focus on today is Marden’s work,An Iron Will, published 1910.
From Wikipedia:
Dr. Orison Swett Marden (1850 – 1924) was an American inspirational author who wrote on success in life and how to achieve it. His writings discuss common-sense principles and virtues that make for a well-rounded, successful life. Many of his ideas are based on New Thought philosophy. His first book, Pushing to the Front (1894), became an instant best-seller and remains a classic in the genre of self-help. Marden later published fifty or more books and booklets, averaging two titles per year. He is also known for his many pamphlets”.
Orison Sweet Marden is also know as the Founder of Success Magazine in 1897. It was later combined with the a magazine from Clement Stone and and actually Og Mandino was president of the magazine in the 1970’s.

“Thought is energy. Active thought is active energy; concentrated thought is a concentrated energy. Thought concentrated on a definite purpose becomes power.” – Charles F Haanel
This past year has NOT allowed me to stay in-sync with the principles of Charles Haanel and Napoleon Hill, and their writings.
I stepped away from my normal “lifestyle” this past year to accept a “corporate position” to help revise a marketing system. The experience was a hard adjustment, since I have guided my daily tasks following MY Definite Major Purpose and controlled my own environment for over 50 years.
I have been revitalized back into the Thought pattern of being in total control of my day and responsiblities.

The Master Key is pivotal not only to me, but thousands of others over the years, including Napoleon Hill, in developing a Self Reliant and Focused Life Purpose.
