I Don't Believe in Defeat.
There is no difficulty you cannot overcome. A wise and
philosophical man once said to me, when asked how he
overcame his difficulties, "How do I get through a trouble?
Well, first I try to go around it, and if I can't go around it, I
try to get under it, and if I can't get under it, I try to go over
it, and if I can't get over it, I just plow right through it." Then
he added, "God and I plow right through it."
An effective method for making your mind positive in
character is to eliminate certain expressions of thought and
speech, which we may call the "little negatives." These
negatives clutter up the average person's conversation, and
while each one is seemingly unimportant in itself, the total
effect is to condition the mind negatively. When this thought
of "little negatives" first occurred to me, I began to analyze
my own conversational habits and was shocked by what I
found. I was making such statements as, "I'm afraid I'll be
late," or "I wonder if I'll have a flat tire," or "I don't think I
can do that."
These are "little negatives" to be sure, and a big thought
is of course more powerful than a little one. But it must
never be forgotten that "mighty oaks from little acorns
grow," and if many "little negatives" clutter up your conversation,
they are bound to seep into your mind. It is surprising
how they accumulate in force, and before you know it, they
will grow into "big negatives." So I determined to root those
"little negatives" out of my conversation. I found that the
best way to eliminate them was deliberately to say a positive
word about everything. When you keep asserting that things
are going to work out well, good results do occur.
On a roadside billboard I saw an advertisement of a certain
brand of motor oil. The slogan read, "A clean engine
always delivers power." So will a mind free of negatives.
Therefore flush out your thoughts, give yourself a clean
mental engine, remembering that a clean mind, even as a
clean engine, always delivers power.
So to overcome your obstacles and live the "I don't believe
in defeat" philosophy, cultivate a positive-idea pattern. What
we do with obstacles is directly determined by our mental attitude.
Most of our obstacles are mental in character.
"Ah," you may object, "mine are not mental, mine are real."
Perhaps so, but your attitude toward them is mental.
What you think about your obstacles largely determines
what you do about them. Form the mental attitude that you
cannot remove an obstacle and you will not remove it. But
when your mind becomes convinced that you can do something
about difficulties, astonishing results will begin to happen.
All of a sudden you discover that you have the power
you would never acknowledge.
I played golf with a man who was not only an excellent
golfer but a philosopher as well. As we went around the golf
course the game itself drew out of him a gem of wisdom for
which I shall ever be grateful.
I hit a ball into some high grass. When we came up to my
ball I said in some dismay, "Now just look at that. I certainly
am in the rough. I have a bad lie. It is going to be tough getting
out of here."
My friend grinned and said, "Didn't I read something in
your books about positive thinking?"
Sheepishly I acknowledged that such was the case.
"I wouldn't think negatively about that lie of yours," he
said. "Do you think you could get a good hit if this ball were
lying out on the fairway on the short grass?"
I said I thought so.
"Well," he continued, "why do you think you could do
better out there than here?"
"Because," I replied, "the grass is cut short on the fairway
and the ball can get away better."
Then he did a curious thing. "Let's get down on our hands
and knees," he suggested, "and see just how this ball does lie."
So we got down on our hands and knees, and he said,
"Observe that the relative height of the ball here is about the
same as it would be on the fairway, the only difference being
that you have about six inches of grass above the ball."
Then he did an even more whimsical thing. "Notice the
quality and character of this grass," he said. He pulled off a
blade and handed it to me. "Chew it," he said.
I chewed, and he asked, "Isn't that tender?"
"Why, yes," I replied.
"Well," he continued, "an easy swing of your numberfive
iron will cut through that grass almost like a knife." And
then he gave me this sentence which I am going to remember
as long as I live, and I hope you will also.
"The rough is only mental. In other words," he continued,
"it is rough because you think it is. In your mind you have
decided that here is an obstacle which will cause you difficulty.
The power to overcome this obstacle is in your mind.
If you visualize yourself lifting the ball out of the rough, believing
you can do it, your mind will transfer flexibility,
rhythm, and power to your muscles and you will handle that
club in such a manner that the ball will rise right out of there
in a beautiful shot. All you need to do is to keep your eye on
that ball and tell yourself that you are going to lift it out of
that grass with a lovely stroke. Let the stiffness and tension
go out of you. Hit it with exhilaration and power. Remember,
the rough is only mental."
To this day I remember the thrill, the sense of power and
delight I had in the clean shot that dropped the ball to the
edge of the green.
That is a great fact to remember in connection with difficult
problems-"the rough is only mental."
Believe that Almighty God has put in you the power to
lift yourself out of the rough by keeping your eye firmly
fixed on the source of your power. Affirm to yourself that
through this power you can do anything you have to do. Believe
that this power is taking the tension out of you, that this
power is flowing through you. Believe this, and a sense of
victory will come.

Expect the Best And Get It.
William James, the famous psychologist, said, "Our belief at
the beginning of a doubtful undertaking is
the one thing [now get that-is the one thing] that ensures the
successful outcome of your venture." When
you expect the best, you release a magnetic force in your
mind which by a law of attraction tends to bring the best to
you.
This does not mean that by believing you are necessarily
going to get everything you want or think you want. Perhaps
that would not be good for you. When you put your trust in
God, He guides your mind so that you do not want things
that are not good for you. But it does mean that when you
learn to believe, that which has seemingly been impossible
moves into the area of the possible. Every great thing becomes
for you a possibility.
A famous trapeze artist was instructing his students how
to perform on the high trapeze bar. Finally, having given full
explanations in this skill, he told them to demonstrate their
ability.
One student, looking up at the insecure perch upon which
he must perform, was suddenly filled with fear. He froze
completely. He had a terrifying vision of himself falling to
the ground. He couldn't move a muscle, so deep was his
fright. "I can't do it!" he gasped.
The instructor put his arm around the boy's shoulder and
said, "Son, you can do it, and I will tell you how." Then he
made one of the wisest remarks I have ever heard. He said,
"Throw your heart over the bar and your body will follow."
Copy that sentence. Write it on a card and put it in, your
pocket. Better still, write it on your mind, you who really
want to do something with life. It's packed with power, that
sentence. "Throw your heart over the bar and your body will
follow."
Heart is the symbol of creative activity. Fire the heart
with where you want to go and what you want to be. Get it
so deeply fixed in your subconscious that you will not take
no for an answer, then your entire personality will follow
where your heart leads. "Throw your heart over the bar"
means to throw the spiritual essence of you over the bar and
your material self will follow in the victory groove thus pioneered
by your faith-inspired mind. Expect the best, not the
worst, and you will attain your heart's desire.
Whenever you have a bar, that is to say a barrier, in front
of you, stop, close your eyes, visualize everything that is
above the bar and nothing that is below it, then imaginatively
throw your heart over that bar and see yourself as being
given lifting power to rise above it. Believe that you are experiencing
this upthrust of force. You will be amazed at the
lifting force you will receive.You can overcome any obstacle. You can achieve the
most tremendous things by faith power. And how do you
develop faith power? Saturate your mind with the great
words of the Bible. If you will spend one hour a day reading
the Bible and committing its great passages to memory, allowing
them to recondition your personality, the change in
you and in your experience will be little short of miraculous.
Read the New Testament. Select a dozen of the strong
statements about faith, and memorize each one. Say them
over and over, especially just before going to sleep. In time
they will modify your thought pattern. This process will
change you into a believer, into an expecter, and thus you
will become an achiever. You will have new power to get
what God and you decide you really want from life.
This is not some theory that I have thought up. It is taught
by the most reliable book known to man. Generation after
generation, no matter what develops in the way of knowledge
and science, the Bible is read by more people than any
other book. Humanity rightly has more confidence in it than
any other document ever written, and the Bible tells us that
faith power works wonders.
The most powerful force in human nature is the spiritualpower
technique taught in the Bible. Very astutely the Bible
emphasizes the method by which a person can make something
of himself. Belief, positive thinking, faith in God, faith
in other people, faith in yourself, faith in life. This is the essence
of the technique it teaches. ". . . If thou canst believe,"
it says, "all things are possible to him that believeth" (Mark
9:23). ". . . If ye have faith . . . nothing shall be impossible
unto you" (Matthew 17:20). ". . . According to your faith be
it unto you" (Matthew 9:29). Believe-believe-so it drives
home the truth that faith moves mountains.
A woman, compelled by adversity to go into sales work,
undertook to demonstrate vacuum cleaners from house to
house. She took a negative attitude toward herself and her
work. She "knew" she was going to fail. She feared to approach
a house even though she came for a requested demonstration.
She believed that she could not make the sale. As
a result, she failed in a high percentage of her interviews.
One day she called upon a woman who evidenced consideration
beyond the average. To this customer the saleswoman
poured out her tale of defeat and powerlessness. The
other woman listened patiently, then said quietly, "If you
expect failure, you will get failure, but if you expect to succeed,
I am sure you will succeed." And she added, "I will
give you a formula which I believe will restyle your thinking,
give you new confidence, and help you to accomplish
your goals. Repeat this formula before every call. Believe in
it and then marvel at what it will do for you. This is it. ' . . . If
God be for us, who can be against us?' (Romans 8:31). But
change it by personalizing it so that you say, 'If God be for
me, who can be against me?' God realizes that you want security
and support for your little children and yourself, and
by practicing the method I suggest you will be given power
to get what you want."
She learned to approach each house expecting to make a
sale, affirming and picturizing positive, not negative, results.
As the saleswoman employed this principle she acquired
new courage, new faith, and deeper confidence in her own
ability. Now she declares, "God helps me sell vacuum cleaners,"
and who can dispute it?
It is a well-defined and authentic principle that what the
mind profoundly expects it tends to receive. Perhaps this is
true because what you really expect is what you actually
want. Unless you really want something sufficiently to create
an atmosphere of positive factors by your dynamic desire, it
is likely to elude you. "If with all your heart"-that is the secret.
"If with all your heart," that is to say, if with the full.
complement of your personality, you reach out creatively
toward your heart's desire, your reach will not be in vain.
At least ten times every day affirm, "I expect the best and
with God's help will attain the best." In so doing your thoughts
will turn toward the best and become conditioned to its realization.
This practice will bring all of your powers to focus

How To Create Your Own Happiness.
Who decides whether you shall be happy or unhappy? You
do!
A television celebrity had as a guest on his program an
aged man. And he was a rare old man indeed. His remarks
were entirely unpremeditated. They simply bubbled up out
of a personality that was radiant and happy. And whenever
he said anything, it was so naive, so apt, that the audience
roared with laughter . They loved him. Impressed, the celebrity
enjoyed the situation with the others.
Finally he asked the old man why he was so happy. "You
must have a wonderful secret of happiness," he suggested.
"No," replied the old man, "I haven't any great secret. It's
just as plain as the nose on your face.
When I get up in the morning I have two choices-to be
happy or unhappy. I just choose to be happy."
It may appear that the old man's remark was superficial,
but I recall that Abraham Lincoln, whom nobody could accuse
of being superficial, said that people are just about as
happy as they make up their minds to be. You can be unhappy
if you want to be. It is the easiest thing in the world to
accomplish. Just choose unhappiness. Go around telling
yourself that things aren't going well, that nothing is satisfactory,
and you can be quite sure of being unhappy. But say
to yourself, "Things are going nicely. Life is good. I choose
happiness," and you can be quite certain of having your
choice. To become a happy person have a clean
soul, eyes that see romance in the commonplace, a child's
heart, and spiritual simplicity.
Many of us manufacture our own unhappiness. Of course
not all unhappiness is self-created, for social conditions are
responsible for not a few of our woes. Yet, to a large extent,
by our thoughts and attitudes we distill out of the ingredients
of life either happiness or unhappiness for ourselves. Anyone
who desires it, who wills it, and who learns and applies the
right formula may become a happy person.
If happiness is determined by our thoughts, it is necessary
to drive off the thoughts, which make for depression and
discouragement. This can be done first by simply determining
to do it; second, by utilizing an easily employed technique
which I suggested to a businessman. This man's principal
trouble was in his depressed thought pattern. He
needed an infusion of light and faith.
So rather boldly I said, "If you want to feel better and
stop being miserable, I can give you something that will fix
you up."
"What can you do?" he snorted. "Are you a miracle
worker?"
"No," I replied, "but I can put you in touch with a Miracle
Worker who will drain off that unhappiness of yours and
give you a new slant on life. I mean that," I concluded, as we
separated.
Apparently this businessman became curious, for he got
in touch with me later and I gave him a little book of mine
called Thought Conditioners*. It contains forty health- and
happiness-producing thoughts. Inasmuch as it is a pocketsized
booklet, I suggested that he carry it for easy consultation
and that he drop one of the suggested thoughts in his
mind every day for forty days. I further suggested that he
commit each thought to memory, and that he visualize this
healthy thought sending a quieting and healing influence
through his mind. I assured him that if he would follow this
plan, these healthy thoughts would drive off the diseased
thoughts that were sapping his joy, energy, and creative
ability.
He had his doubts, but he followed my directions. After
about three weeks he called me on the telephone and
shouted, "Boy, this sure works! It is wonderful. I have
snapped out of it, and I wouldn't have believed it possible."
Tomorrow when you arise, say out loud three times this
one sentence, "This is the day which the Lord hath made; we
will rejoice and be glad in it" (Psalm 118:24). Only personalize
it and say, "I will rejoice and be glad in it." Repeat it in
a strong, clear voice and with positive tone and emphasis.
While dressing or getting breakfast, say aloud a few such
remarks as, "I believe I can successfully handle all problems
that will arise today. I feel good physically, mentally, emotionally.
It is wonderful to be alive. I am grateful for all that I
have had, for all that I now have, and for all that I shall have.
Things aren't going to fall apart. God is here and He is with
me and He will see me through. I thank God for every good
thing."
Throughout the day, base your actions and attitudes upon
fundamental principles of happy living. One of the most
simple and basic of such principles is that of human love and
goodwill. It is amazing what happiness a sincere expression
of compassion and tenderness will induce.
A genuinely happy man is a friend of mine, H. C. Mattern,
who, with his equally happy wife, Mary, travels
throughout the country. Mr. Mattern carries a unique business
card on the reverse side of which is stated the philosophy
which has brought happiness to him and his wife and to
hundreds of others who have been so fortunate as to feel the
impact of their personalities.
The card reads: "The way to happiness: keep your heart
free from hate, your mind from worry. Live simply, expect
little, give much. Fill your life with love. Scatter sunshine.
Forget self, think of others. Do as you would be done by. Try
this for a week and you will be surprised."
As you read these words you may say, "There is nothing
do!
A television celebrity had as a guest on his program an
aged man. And he was a rare old man indeed. His remarks
were entirely unpremeditated. They simply bubbled up out
of a personality that was radiant and happy. And whenever
he said anything, it was so naive, so apt, that the audience
roared with laughter . They loved him. Impressed, the celebrity
enjoyed the situation with the others.
Finally he asked the old man why he was so happy. "You
must have a wonderful secret of happiness," he suggested.
"No," replied the old man, "I haven't any great secret. It's
just as plain as the nose on your face.
When I get up in the morning I have two choices-to be
happy or unhappy. I just choose to be happy."
It may appear that the old man's remark was superficial,
but I recall that Abraham Lincoln, whom nobody could accuse
of being superficial, said that people are just about as
happy as they make up their minds to be. You can be unhappy
if you want to be. It is the easiest thing in the world to
accomplish. Just choose unhappiness. Go around telling
yourself that things aren't going well, that nothing is satisfactory,
and you can be quite sure of being unhappy. But say
to yourself, "Things are going nicely. Life is good. I choose
happiness," and you can be quite certain of having your
choice. To become a happy person have a clean
soul, eyes that see romance in the commonplace, a child's
heart, and spiritual simplicity.
Many of us manufacture our own unhappiness. Of course
not all unhappiness is self-created, for social conditions are
responsible for not a few of our woes. Yet, to a large extent,
by our thoughts and attitudes we distill out of the ingredients
of life either happiness or unhappiness for ourselves. Anyone
who desires it, who wills it, and who learns and applies the
right formula may become a happy person.
If happiness is determined by our thoughts, it is necessary
to drive off the thoughts, which make for depression and
discouragement. This can be done first by simply determining
to do it; second, by utilizing an easily employed technique
which I suggested to a businessman. This man's principal

As you read these words you may say, "There is nothing
new in that." Indeed, there is something new in it if you
never tried it. When you start to practice it you will find it
the most astonishing method of happy and successful living
you have ever used. What is the value of having known these
principles all your life if you have never made use of them?
Such inefficiency in living is tragic. For a man to have lived
in poverty when all the time right on his doorstep is gold
indicates an unintelligent approach to life.
Of course in order to give power to these principles of
happiness and make them work it is necessary to support
them with a dynamic quality of mind. You are not likely to
secure effective results even with spiritual principles without
spiritual power. When one experiences a dynamic spiritual
change inwardly, success with happiness-producing ideas
becomes extraordinarily easy. If you begin to use spiritual
principles, however awkwardly, you will gradually experience
spiritual power inwardly. This will give you the greatest
surge of happiness you have ever known. It will stay with
you, too, as long as you live a God-centered life.

Try Prayer Power.
You are dealing with the most tremendous power in the
world when you pray. The secret of prayer is to find the process
that will most effectively open your mind humbly to
God. Any method through which you can stimulate the
power of God to flow into your mind is legitimate.
An illustration of a scientific use of prayer is the experience
of a man who opened a small business-as he characterized
it, "a little hole in the wall" in New York City years
ago. He had one employee. In a few years they moved into a
larger room and then into extensive quarters. It became a
very successful operation.
This man's method of business as he described it was "to
fill the little hole in the wall with optimistic prayers and
thoughts." He declared that hard work, positive thinking, fair
dealing, right treatment of people, and the proper kind of
praying always get results. This man worked out his own
simple formula for solving his problems through prayer
power. The formula is: (1) PRAYERIZE, (2) PICTURIZE,
(3) ACTUALIZE.
By "prayerize" my friend meant a daily system of creative
prayer. When a problem arose, he talked it over with
God simply and directly in prayer. Moreover, he conceived
of God as being with him in his office, in his home, on the
street, in his automobile, always near by as a partner. He
took seriously the Biblical injunction to "pray without ceasing."
He interpreted it as meaning that he should go about
every day discussing with God in a natural, normal manner
the questions that had to be dealt with. He did not often
kneel to offer his prayers but would, for example, say to
God, "What will I do about this, Lord?" or "Give me a fresh
insight on this, Lord."
The second point in his formula of creative prayer is to
"picturize." The basic factor in physics is force. The basic
factor in psychology is the realizable wish. When either failure
or success is picturized it strongly tends to actualize in
terms equivalent to the mental image pictured.
To assure something worthwhile happening, first pray
about it and test it according to God's will; then print a picture
of it on your mind as happening, holding the picture
firmly in consciousness. Continue to surrender the picture to
God's will-that is to say, put the matter in God's hands-and
follow God's guidance. Work hard and intelligently, thus
doing your part to achieve success. Practice believing and
continue to hold the picture in your thoughts. Do this and
you will be astonished at the strange ways in which the picture
comes to pass. In this manner the picture "actualizes."
That which you have "prayerized" and "picturized" "actualizes"
according to the pattern of your basic realizable wish
when conditioned by invoking God's power upon it, and if,
moreover, you give fully of yourself to its realization.
I have practiced this prayer method and find great power
in it. Others have likewise reported that it released creative
power into their experience.
For example, a woman discovered that her husband was
drifting from her. Theirs had been a happy marriage, but the
wife had become preoccupied in social affairs and the husband
had gotten busy in his work. Before they knew it, the
close, old-time companionship was lost. One day she discovered
his interest in another woman. She became hysterical.
She consulted her minister, who instructed her how to
pray and to "picturize." He also advised her to hold a mental
image of the restoration of the old-time companionship, to
visualize the goodness in her husband, and to picture a restored
harmony between the two of them. She was to hold
this picture with faith.
About this time her husband informed her that he wanted
a divorce. She had conquered hysteria and calmly replied
that she was willing if he wanted it, but suggested a deferral
of the decision: "If at the end of ninety days you still want a
divorce, I will cooperate." He gave her a quizzical look, for
he had expected an outburst.
Night after night he went out, and night after night she sat
at home, but she pictured him in his old chair. She even pictured
him drying the dishes as he did when they were first
married. She visualized the two of them playing golf together
as they once had.
She maintained this picture with steady faith, and one
night there he actually sat in his chair. Occasionally he
would be gone but more and more nights he sat in his chair.
Then one Saturday afternoon he asked, "What do you say to
a game of golf?"
The days went by pleasantly until she realized that the
ninetieth day had arrived, so that evening she said quietly,
"Bill, this is the ninetieth day."
"What do you mean," he asked, puzzled, "the ninetieth
day?"
"Why, don't you remember? We agreed to wait ninety
days to settle that divorce matter and this is the day."
He looked at her for a moment, then hidden behind his
paper turned a page, saying, "Don't be silly. I couldn't possibly
get along without you. Where did you ever get the idea I
was going to leave you?"
I have known many other people who have successfully
applied this technique. When sincerely and intelligently
brought into situations, this has produced such excellent results
that it must be regarded as an extraordinarily efficient
method of prayer. People who take this method seriously and
actually use it get astonishing results.
