Watch your Words

Always remember improvement can only come in a constructive manner, not in fault finding, criticism or tongue lashings. 

 

Watch your words each day that sometimes, when things seem particularly vexing, we do not say things that later could be regretted. All have some inharmony in life to overcome. That is all a part of life so, no matter what the situation or the person involved, try to hold your tongue and develop patience, a very necessary quality to all persons who want to grow in a spiritual way.

We must remember that sometimes the very faults we so condemn in others we may also have in a perhaps lesser degree, therefore they are more noticeable and more objectionable to us. We also must remember that we must judge not by mere appearances, but look over and above them realizing that there is a reason for everything and an answer to every problem.

Sometimes we are thrown into contact with a person whose every act and every vibration seems to bring us annoyance. Remember this is part of life, and the reason this is so is that this particular person needs changing and you also need changing and, in order to grow out of errors of thought, we must constantly overcome and reach out for the love, the peace, the inner strength to combat these errors in the life. 

Perhaps this person needs the very things in life that only you can bring out and maybe you too can only overcome weaknesses by being in contact with a person of such differing thoughts and vibrations. In any event, try to overlook and to hold your tongue unless some constructive or positive thought is put forth. It will be trying, yes, for it is far easier to explode and give vent to pent up feelings, but it is soul strengthening to follow The Golden Rule.  

Always remember improvement can only come in a constructive manner, not in fault finding, criticism or tongue lashings. Give out love and peace and greater things will come into your life as your reward.

Conquer Self

Our thought life, if at all negative, must be recharged with positive thoughts that give us a more vital and vibrant attitude ...

 

When we conquer self, we conquer the world for it is only through ourselves that this is actually possible. We must be strong within to bear the strife and burdens of life. We must have love within for all creation and know that though we may not understand all life’s problems and purposes, still we have love for all creatures and tolerance for others that they too may see the light and solve their special problems as we are striving to solve ours.

Patience too is a very necessary attribute to acquire. In fact, it is a necessity if we are truly to master the self within. Our thought life, if at all negative, must be recharged with positive thoughts that give us a more vital and vibrant attitude and keep us on the crest of the wave rather than allowing us to become inundated by the negative attitudes.

This current of life that flows through all can be so charged that we become more keenly aware of all life that is around and about us. It will give us a great deal of enjoyment and happiness when we follow this path. It is not easy, nothing really worthwhile ever is, but once attained and we hold to it, we are the master. Our way is lightened and our burdens as nothing compared to the old way.

All is not gained at once, but when we plod steadily on in this vein we will win through and the rewards are many.

Think Before you Act

We should always examine every problem we are faced with with careful thought from all angles. 

 

Sometimes we act in haste thinking we have done the correct thing and later realize that, had we given a little more time and thought to the problem, a different solution would have resulted. Nevertheless, though maybe we think the worst has happened because of impulsive haste, perhaps after all we have gained rather than lost for it has at least given us an unforgettable lesson that in the future we will try to do differently.  

We always have to live with what we ourselves bring about. And always too much haste in any department of life brings about later regrets for we cannot see all the facets clearly if we do not stop to think about the case involved. 

We should always examine every problem we are faced with with careful thought from all angles. Only then can we rightly act and act with wisdom.  

Patience in all things is necessary. Our hasty, thoughtless acts, however well meant, often find us wishing we had done otherwise. Sometimes there is a way out even though our first act may be not what it should have been, but when later reflected upon we can see more clearly what should be. Though not always is it possible to change the chain of events, there is often a way if we act in time and with careful thought as to the consequences.  

The lesson is clear. Think before you act.

Growth

We are ever building, ever changing our auras into either the positive or the negative ...

 

It is harder to open the door of our thoughts to the positive good than it seems to be to open it to the negative fear thoughts that are ever ready to enter into our consciousness.  

It takes greater effort to see through the negative, to only see the positive good in all things, in all situations and in everyone. It is true wisdom, however, to do just this for only in this way can we overcome evil and gain our true desires. We are ever building, ever changing our auras into either the positive or the negative or, as in most cases, a combination of both with, I’m afraid, the negative having the upper hand.  

We look upon ourselves as pawns of destiny or fate but, in truth, we are our own fate and because we decree it for ourselves we must need it in order to strengthen our minds. It seems strange perhaps to say that some must need error in order to grow, but actually it is true because only in this way will some eventually see the light and grow in wisdom, shedding finally their old ways of error.  

Growth is inevitable, but it all takes time and much patience and constantly being on the alert to try to eliminate as much as possible that which is negative and therefore destructive to the entity.  

Life is a constant striving towards an ideal.

Reflections

We constantly reflect what we are, and see in others what we look for.  

 

As you look out at the world through the windows of the soul, what do you see? Is it good, or is it bad or just indifferent? What you see, of course, is but a reflection of the inner condition of the indwelling soul. We constantly reflect what we are, and see in others what we look for.  

Naturally there are exceptions, for often we find antagonism in others that should not be there for it is unmerited, and yet, there it is. We should, in a case like that, simply ignore it and see only what we would like to see. In that way we help actually to bring about the desired condition rather than add more antagonism to the already charged atmosphere.

We all know by this time that thoughts are felt and those we constantly hold in our aura are there to confound us. Often if not positive and good they react to our detriment.  

We cannot be too careful in weeding out these undesirables and substitute thoughts of good, positive, vibrant helpfulness. It is certainly worth every effort on our part to do just this and it will take our constant watchfulness to accomplish this feat. 

Everything worthwhile takes patient, constant effort and real work to bring about what we so earnestly desire in our lives, but we must keep trying and, in trying, we are bound to succeed.

True Feelings

We are the sum and substance of, not exactly our thoughts but, our true feelings. 

 

We are the sum and substance of, not exactly our thoughts but, our true feelings. Of course, thoughts are important and those we hold constantly do become convictions and then we feel differently, if they are thoughts that differ from those we have hitherto held. Changing these thoughts into feelings or, I should say, consciously trying to do this requires steady conscientious work with a capital W.   

All success in every venture depends on work in a given direction and changing our insecure, self-conscious, immature feelings into those with more power, more personality of a positive nature requires patience and real perseverance.  

There will be stumbling blocks on the road, there will be times of self-doubt, but if you will keep the end result in view and know that everything is possible to God and therefore through this power of God to man, you will win and become that which you so earnestly desire.  

You must make a start at some point so why not now? Give it all you have and know with God’s help you will succeed. The road may not be as long or as hard as anticipated. Often this is so. Our fears are often founded on thin air and when worked over are dissipated like so much fog. 

Act and then feeling will follow. Believe and it is so.
