One Of The Basic Laws Of Human Existence Is: Find Yourself, Know Yourself, Be Yourself.

Finding Yourself

No Matter How Many Worries And Anxieties Harass You, Remember Always That They Are Removable. Enthusiasm With Its Immense Mental And Spiritual Power Can Cancel Out All Fear.

When You Pray For Anyone You Tend To Modify Your Personal Attitude Toward Him. You Lift The Relationship Thereby To A Higher Level. The Best In The Other Person Begins To Flow Out Toward You As Your Best Flows Toward Him. In The Meeting Of The Best In Each A Higher Unity Of Understanding Is Established.

Life Is Not All Fun And Easy Going. Far From It; There Are Many Rough Times. But, Sadly, We Too Often Let The Hard Times Dull Our Enthusiasm. And That Is Dangerous, If Not Fatal, To Our Lives.

The Way To Happiness: Keep Your Heart Free From Hate, Your Mind From Worry. Live Simply, Expect Little, Give Much. Scatter Sunshine, Forget Self, Think Of Others. Try This For A Week And You Will Be Surprised.

Stress The Thought Of Plenty. Thoughts Of Plenty Help Create Plenty.

A Very Real Barrier To Faith Is This Feeling Of Self-sufficiency, This Unrealistic Idea That One Can Accomplish Everything By His Or Her Own Self. Some People Have The Conviction They Must Do It All Alone. They Have No Faith In Others. . . They Are Convinced That There Is No One Able To Do The Job As Well As Themselves. They Refuse To Admit That They May Need The Help Of Friends, Doctor, Minister, Or Even God.

Never Say Anything To Hurt Anyone. Moreover . . . Refrain From Double Talk, From Shrewd And Canny Remarks That Are Designed To Advance Our Interests At Someone's Disadvantage. We Are To Turn Our Back Upon Evil, And In Every Way Possible, Do Good, Help People And Bring Blessings Into Their Lives.

I Believe Absolutely And Certainly That, When You Die, You Will Meet Your Loved Ones And Know Them And Be Reunited With Them, Never To Be Seperated Again.

So Deep And Meaningful Is The Joy And The Enthusiasm That Is Born In One's Mind And Heart By Human Love And Helpfulness That It Has The Power To Motivate For A Lifetime. . . . You Don't Have To Be A Doctor To Say Or Do That Which Puts Light In A Human Eye Or Joy On A Human Face. Simply Practice Jesus' Commandment That We Love One Another.

Believe In Yourself! Have Faith In Your Abilities. Without A Humble But Reasonable Confidence In Your Own Powers You Cannot Be Successful Or Happy. But With Self-confidence You Can Succeed. A Sense Of Inferiority And Inadequacy Interferes With The Attainment Of Your Hopes, But Self-confidence Leads To Self-realization And Successful Achievement.

Almighty God Freely Bestows The Good Things In This World In Proportion To A Person's Mental Readiness To Receive.

Never Let Any Mistake Cause You To Stop Believing In Yourself. Learn From It And Go On.
