Haanel has really gotten my attention this week in Part 8 of the Master Key. In 8.24 he states:

Successful men make it their business to hold ideals of the conditions which they wish to realize. They CONSTANTLY hold in mind THE NEXT STEP necessary to the ideal for which they are striving. Charles Haanel

In 8.25 he goes on:

If you have been faithful to your ideal, you will hear the call when circumstances are ready to materialize your plans and results will correspond in the exact ratio of your fidelity to your ideal. The ideal steadily held is what pre-determines and attracts the necessary conditions for its fulfillment. Charles Haanel

This is the new Blueprint. We are learning to hold our ideals from our DMP ever before us. That is the meaning of fidelity or being faithful to our ideal. We are to steadily hold our ideal before us

To develop our imagination, which we must in order to construct our ideal, we are to practice taking an object and bring it back to its origination.

We are to practice keen analytical observation which leads us to look below the surface, and the result is we develop insight, perception and wisdom. What we are looking for is to know the underlying causes for the effects which we see.

This mental training prepares us to receive THE NEXT STEP.

We’ve been at this for 2 months now and I am able to understand that this Master Key Experience cannot be acquired merely by reading about it, it must be lived. It is a discipline of developing new habits and a new view of reality. It requires practice, effort, commitment and persistence.

I am becoming a new person. I surprise myself every day with something new and it is delightful!

  • Congratulations Janet! Fantastic blog, looking below the surface…brilliant, realising once you start absorbing this stuff you can go back to the old version of yourself again. Keep up the great work!

  • Janet great job with your message! It’s so true we can’t just read about changing we must exercise our mind to really change our thinking. Thanks for the insight.

  • This is exactly it, Janet! You’ve hit the name on the head. Most people are not successful because we have not done the work to manifest what’s in our thoughts because we’re programmed by other people. Successful people are those that can hold and craft their imagination until it becomes so. Thanks for sharing!

  • Congratulations, Janet! All those hard mental labour is paying off as you see your new self and experience the amazing and delightful things happening to you each day.

  • Congratulations, on being showcased today!!! Keep up the tremendous work!! Thank you, for being a great role model.

  • Makes me think of the other great Haanel quote the hard mental labor so few are willing to do.

  • I love that you have persevered and you have come to this place of linking and ‘seeing the light’.
    Great blog Janet. ❤️

  • Wonderful insights shared! The MKE becomes your life, all the principles and activities become part of our every day life and you are truly never the same again! What’s more is you now have the answer for others who are living lives of quiet desperation, you can show them the way as a self directed thinker!!

  • Wonderful, Janet! I love this point especially: “know the underlying causes for the effects which we see.” And this: “cannot be acquired merely by reading about it, it must be lived.” Yes, yes, yes! Cheering you on.

  • Janet, This is absolutely awesome and beautiful to read! You are right the Master Keys is something we must do not just read. It is for those and will reward those over and over again who do the work necessary to grow and become everything we are all meant to be! Thank you for your post!

  • I love how you’ve taken that section out of Lesson 8 and linked it to the blueprint idea so beautifully … outstanding wisdom and insight
