William Walker Atkinson was one of the first authors to write about the law of success otherwise known as the law of attraction. In other words that "like attracts like." Decades before Esther and Jerry Hick's "Money and the Law of Attraction" or Rhonda Byrnes "The Secret," he taught taught readers how to use the power of thought to attract wealth, health, happiness and success. "Many of us are like young elephants that allow themselves to be mastered by weak men, and put through their paces, little dreaming of the mighty strength and power concealed within their organisms. We wonder at the achievements of the great men in all walks of life, and we are apt to excuse ourselves by the sad remark that these people seem to "have it in them," while we have not. Nonsense, we all have it in us to do things a hundred times greater than we are doing " - William Walker Atkinson
