what we want to be. Character is not a thing of chance, but it is the result of continued effort. If you are timid, vacillating, self-conscious, or if you are over-anxious or harassed by thoughts of fear or impending danger, remember that it is axiomatic that “ two things cannot exist in the same place at the same time .”

Exactly the same thing is true in the mental and spiritual world; so that your remedy is plainly to substitute thoughts of courage, power, self-reliance, and confidence, for those of fear, lack, and limitation. The easiest and most natural way to do this is to select an affirmation which seems to fit your particular case.

The positive thought will destroy the negative as certainly as light destroys darkness, and the results will be just as effectual. Action is the blossom of thought, and conditions are the result of action so that you constantly have in your possession the tools by which you will certainly and inevitably make or unmake yourself, and joy or suffering will be the reward.

Week Nine: Affirmations And Your Mind 1. There are only three things which can possibly be desired in the “world without” and each of them can be found in the “world within.” The secret of finding them is simply to apply the proper “mechanism” of attachment to the omnipotent power to which each individual has access. 2.

The three things which all mankind desires and which are necessary for his highest expression and complete development are Health, Wealth, and Love. All will admit that Health is absolutely essential — no one can be happy if the physical body is in pain.

All will not so readily admit that Wealth is necessary, but all must admit that a sufficient supply at least is necessary, and what would be considered sufficient for one, would be considered absolute and painful lack for another; and as Nature provides not only enough but abundantly, wastefully, lavishly, we realize that any lack or limitation is only the limitation which has been made by an artificial method of distribution. 3.

All will probably admit that Love is the third, or maybe some will say the first, essential necessary to the happiness of mankind. At any rate, those who possess all three — Health, Wealth, and Love — find nothing else which can be added to their cup of happiness. 4.

We have found that the Universal substance is “All Health,” “All Substance,” and “All Love” and that the mechanism of attachment whereby we can consciously connect with this Infinite supply is in our method of thinking. To think correctly is therefore to enter into the “ Secret Place of the Most High .” 5.

What shall we think? If we know this we shall have found the proper mechanism of attachment which will relate us to “Whatsoever things we desire.” This mechanism may seem very simple when I give it to you, but read on. You will find that it is in reality the “Master-Key,” the “ Aladdin's lamp .” if you please; you will find that it is the foundation, the imperative condition, the absolute law of well-doing, which means well-being. 6.

To think correctly — accurately — we must know the “Truth.” The truth then is the underlying principle in every business or social relation. It is a condition precedent to every right action. To know the truth, to be sure, to be confident, affords a satisfaction beside which no other is at all comparable.
