The Yogis taught that there was nothing beyond human reach for him who believed he could do what he set out to do and kept on trying with complete concentration. This is an excellent thing to keep in mind. You can readily see now why concentration exercises are so very important. Having once mastered the approach, it is up to you to select your attitudes and each day perform some exercise in Dynamic Concentration. Begin simply. Give yourself some task well within your ability and see to it that you do what you have promised yourself at the time you have set for it. Do not let interruptions distract you nor pleasure interfere. The discipline is well worth the effort. Soon you will be experiencing a real sense of delight in accomplishing necessary things which once you were forever putting off until some never-never hour. At the same time the feeling of guilt, of pressure, which procrastination generates will magically leave you.

Getting back briefly to the physical exercises, you might easily apply the concentration discipline to getting your as anas done. This is the best way we know of to conquer that ever-present desire to begin "tomorrow." Tomorrow never comes unless you prepare for it today; learn not to put yourself off with excuses.

As your physical well-being improves through the Yoga routines and your mind quiets down and stops playing tricks on you, you can begin to re-read this book, repeating the lessons already learned, but exploring more in depth. Always keep in mind that there is no end to learning and growth in general and that this is especially true of Yoga. Keep with it, make it a perpetual program, and you will have found the power to renew yourself, to maintain at maximum level you mental, physical and spiritual development. To many throughout the world Yoga is a gift from the gods. You can make this gift your own, for it is offered to you free if you just make a little effort. Not only will your span of life on earth have then been lengthened, but your existence will become that much happier, healthier and more harmonious.
