“Limitation is nothing more than a mentality that too many good people practice daily until they believe it’s reality.”

The Spellbinder says this as part of his presentation at the seminar. In the Spellbinder’s view, people are their own worst enemies, and in order to grow, one must become aware of this fact rather than stifle it. This sets the book up for revealing how one can master one’s self and unlock one’s own inner strength.

“Ideas are worth nothing unless backed by application. The smallest of implementations is always worth more than the grandest of intentions.”

The Spellbinder here presents a variation of the old adage that talk is cheap. While it is great to have big ideas, those ideas have no real existence unless the person moves in a specific direction toward making them a reality. The Spellbinder often instructs others to take concrete steps toward their goals.

“Hard is good. Real greatness and the realization of your inherent genius is meant to be a difficult sport.”

The Spellbinder, and later Mr. Riley, embraces challenge and encourages their listeners to do the same. Difficulty and struggle are to be embraced rather than avoided, as the hardship is what ultimately strengthens a person’s resolve. The program laid out by the book revolves around overcoming a successive string of obstacles.
