mind,
and mind casts back at the thinker that
only which he thinks. Nothing ever happens
by chance. Law governs all life, and all
people come under that law. But that law,
so far, as we are concerned, we ourselves
set in motion, and we do this through
the power of our thought.
Each
person is living in a world of his own
making, and he should speak only such
words and think only such thoughts as
he wishes to see manifested in his life.
We must not hear, think, speak, read or
listen to limitations of any kind. There
is no way under heaven whereby we can
think two kinds of thought and get only
one result; it is impossible, and the
sooner we realize it the sooner we shall
arrive. This does not mean that we must
be afraid to think lest we create the
wrong image, but it does mean that the
way most people think can produce nothing
but failure; that is why so few succeed.
The
person who is to succeed will never let
his mind dwell on past mistakes. He will
forgive the past in his life and in the
lives of other people. If he makes a mistake
he will at once forgive it. He will know
that so long as he desires any good, there
is nowhere in the universe anything that
opposes him. God does not damn anyone
or anything; man damns everyone and everything.
God
does not make things by comparing His
power with some other power. God knows
when He speaks it is done; and if we partake
of the divine nature we must know the
same thing in our lives that God knows
in His.
"I am the master of my fate,
"I am the captain of my soul."
