When I was a young boy, my mother gave me this single quotation handwritten on a white piece of paper: "The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings by changing the inner attitudes of their minds can change the outer aspects of their lives." - William James “True joy and happiness for yourself comes when you help others to experience joy and happiness. Always endeavor to help others feel better about themselves.” - M. Vance Romane Let's Be Friends have helped more people in Canada, with hypnosis, than anyone else in the world. No two people can agree on every- I thing. I don't expect you to agree with everything in this book. However, please keep an open mind and use what is useful to you in enriching your life. I will now share 50 years of my work with the power of the mind. If you allow yourself to do so, you will find that you may become so absorbed with this book that time passes quickly. You may find that many of your worries, fears, and anxieties magically vanish as you read the words in this book. As you become a friend with the brain powers of your inner mind, you will find that many surprise solutions to your difficulties will surface. You also will find that every day you will feel a greater sense of your own individual power of choice, self-control, and empowerment. Much of this book is based on personal experience-the things I have learned and experienced in my life and in the field of hypnosis. Because I think example is the best teacher, I will share with you events from my life. Important Principles of Mind Power 1. Your mind and body produce more different chemicals than are on the shelf of the largest pharmacy in the world. 2. Thoughts create chemicals, healthy or unhealthy. 3. Thoughts create chemicals, chemicals affect feelings, and feelings affect behavior. 4. Thoughts repeated will go from the conscious to the subconscious mind. v 5. The subconscious treats all imagined thoughts as real. 6. The subconscious is a control center for our life, our health and our success. 7. Hypnosis focuses mind concentration to change thoughts, feelings and behavior. Hypnosis changes beliefs. I love all three of my children dearly. My only regret is that my touring has kept me away from them for over 100 days a year. These regrets have been balanced in part by my passionate desire to serve my fellow Canadians by helping them to be healthier and happier. Fortunately, this work that I have loved so greatly also has helped me to meet the financial needs of my family. In short, it has been satisfying to help people, while at the same time earning a living. I hope this book helps you.

This reminds me of the old Asong, "Enjoy Yourself, It's Later Than You Think." Fortunately for women, the figure is only 11 percent. Every cigarette, each slice of meat, each spoon of butter, every time we rush from one place to another, each daily stress make our coronary arteries stiffen and resist the flow of blood. I heard a story about a lady who organized a family get-together with relatives coming from many different cities. However, her sister and her family could not come because her sister's life was "too busy." The sister said that she would come next time. Somehow I cannot help but recall what Virginia Satir once said at a workshop I attended: "We would all be a lot nicer if we were not so busy." Sadly, the sister who did not attend the family get-together died in an automobile accident and was unable to attend the next family event. The sister who is still alive remains greatly disturbed that they never had that last time together. Or consider the story of a doctor who was trying to convince two of his friends, who were also doctors, to go on an exotic dream vacation with him. His friends weighed their choices and worried if they could afford to take the time off work, if they could leave their patients in the care of someone else, if the office would continue to run smoothly without them. This reminds me of the often quoted 1 phrase: "No one ever says on their deathbed, I wish I'd put in more hours at work." Finally, all three doctors decided to go on their planned fantasy trek to South America. When they returned after a month or so, their patients were doing just fine and their offices were running smoothly without them. Shortly thereafter, one of the men died and within a few years, all three had died. None of the men lived to be 60. Because one never knows how long one has on this beautiful and most fascinating planet earth, I always say, enjoy every moment.
