and in some way I must have invited this trouble;
somehow and in some way I must deserve it, and the
experience must be meant for my good. I will make
the best of it, and no one shall ever hear me complain."
That attitude of mind will invariably bring its own
comfort with it; and added to the comfort will come
hope, and courage, and opportunity to better the conditions surrounding the life.
To every day recount the blessings which are ours
is as sure to increase those blessings as the scattering
of seed in fallow soil, is a sure way to bring a harvest.
There is no misfortune or unhappiness or ill luck
we cannot change into some measure of success and
contentment, by the force of thought and the persistency of faith in the goodness of God and the belief
that we are God's heirs.
The great wise men of ancient times wrote: "Be
indifferent to evil."
It was one of the strongest planks in their religious
platform. The metaphysicians of a later day have
claimed to "discover" a law of "denying" evil. But
the old seers were much wiser in not even paying it
the attention of a denial; they were simply indifferent:
they did not recognize it. All their emphasis was
placed on the good things of life; and by talking about
anything, good or bad, we magnify and multiply it.
The more you talk about your misfortunes and
troubles, the more will come to listen and to be talked
about.
The more you enumerate your blessings, the greater number you will have to enumerate.
Believe you were born to good, luck. Say so every
day and every hour in the day, and thank the Creator
of all things for the blessings which are already yours.
"And unto those who have, more shall be given."
