Do not while away your time in idleness. A great manyh people occupy themselves

with inconsequential activities. Ask them what they have been doing and they

will usually say, " Oh, I have been busy every minute! " But they can scarcely

remember what they wer so busy about! Too many diversions, also, weaken your

mental powers. If you go every day to the movies, they will lose their

attraction, and you will become bored. Movies are all basically the same -

lovers, heroes, and villains. We may enjoy a beautiful motion picture story, but

life is seldom like that; if on the other hand it is too realistic, who wants to

see more of life as it is, when he goes to be entertained?

 

Life is a very tricky and we msut deal with it as it is. If we do not first

master it ourselves we cannot help anyone else. In the seclusion of concentrated

thought lies hiden the factory of all accomlishment. Remember that. In this

factory continuously weave your will pattern for attaining success over opposing

difficulties. Exercise your will continuously. During the day and at night you

ahve many opportunities to work in this factory, if you do not waste your time.

At night I withdraw from the world's demands and am by myself, an absolute

stranger to the world; it is a blank. Alone with my will power, I turn my

thoughts in the desired direction until I have determined in my mindexactly what

I wish to do and how to do it. Then I harness my wil to the right activities and

it creates succes. In this way I have effectively used my will power many times.

But it won't work unless the application of will power is continuous.

 

It is a wonderful feeling to be able to say, and know, " My will power,

surcharged by the Divine Will, shall accomplish my aim. " If you lazily leave

everything to the Divine Power and neglect to use your God-given will, results

will not be forthcoming. The Divine Power of Its own accord wants to help you;

you don't have to coax. But you do have to use your wil to demand as His child,

and to behave as His child. You must banish the thought that the Lord with His

wonderful power is far away in heaven, and that you are a helpless little worm

buried in difficulties down here on earth. Remember that behind your will is the

great Divine Will; but that ocean Power cannot come to your aid unless you are

receptive.
