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
upon the attainment of the best. It will bring the best to you

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

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.

How To Have Constant Energy Youself.

How we think we feel has a definite effect on how we actually
feel physically. If your mind tells you that you are tired,
the body mechanism, the nerves, and the muscles accept the
fact. If your mind is intensely interested, you can keep on at
an activity indefinitely. Religion functions through our
thoughts; in fact, it is a system of thought discipline. By supplying
attitudes of faith to the mind it can increase energy. It
helps you to accomplish prodigious activity by suggesting
that you have ample support and resources of power.
A friend in Connecticut, an energetic man, full of vitality
and vigor, says that he goes to church regularly to "get his
batteries recharged." His concept is sound. God is the source
of all energy in the universe-atomic energy, electrical energy,
and spiritual energy.
Contact with God establishes within us a flow of the
same type of energy that re-creates the world and that renews
springtime every year. When we are in spiritual contact with
God, the Divine energy flows through the personality, automatically
renewing the original creative act. The principles
of Christianity, scientifically utilized, can develop a continuous
flow of energy into the human mind and body.
Every great personality I have ever known who has demonstrated
the capacity for prodigious work has been a person
in tune with the Infinite. Every such person seems in harmony
with nature. They have not necessarily been pious, but
invariably they have been extraordinarily well organized
emotionally and psychologically. It is fear, resentment, the
projection of parental faults upon people when they are children,
inner conflicts and obsessions that throw off balance
the finely equated nature, thus causing undue expenditure of
natural force.
I am convinced that neither age nor circumstance needs
to deprive us of energy and vitality. All through its pages,
the Bible talks about vitality and force and life. The supreme
overall word of the Bible is life, and life means vitality-to be
filled with energy. This does not rule out pain or suffering or
difficulty, but the clear implication is that if a person practices
the creative and re-creative principles of Christianity he
can live with power and energy.
The practice of Christian principles will bring a person
into the proper tempo of living. Our energies are destroyed
because of the abnormal pace at which we go. The conservation
of energy depends upon getting your personality
speed synchronized with the rate of God's movement. God is
in you. If you are going at one rate and God at another, you
are tearing yourself apart. When we become attuned to God's
rhythm we can develop a normal tempo within ourselves and
energy flows freely.
To get into the time synchronization of Almighty God, go
out some warm day and lie down on the earth. Get your ear
close down to the ground and listen. You will hear the sound
of the wind in the trees and the murmur of insects, and you
will discover that there is in all these sounds a well-regulated
tempo. You cannot get that tempo by listening to traffic in
the city streets, for it is lost in the confusion of sound. You
can get it in church where you hear the word of God and the
great hymns. Truth vibrates to God's tempo in a church.
To avoid tiredness and to have energy, feel your way into
the essential rhythm of Almighty God and all His works. To
accomplish this, relax physically. Then conceive of your
mind as likewise relaxing. Follow this mentally by visualizing
the soul as becoming quiescent, then pray as follows:
"Dear God, You are the source of all energy. You are the
source of the energy in the sun, in the atom, in all flesh, in
the bloodstream, in the mind. I hereby draw energy from
You as from an illimitable source." Then practice believing
that you receive energy. Keep in tune with the Infinite.
To live with constant energy it is also important to get
your emotional faults corrected. You will never have full
energy until you do. Knute Rockne, one of the greatest football
coaches this country ever produced, said that a football
player cannot have sufficient energy unless his emotions are
under spiritual control. In fact, he went so far as to say that
he would not have a man on his team who did not have a
genuinely friendly feeling for every fellow player. "I have to
get the most energy out of a man," he said, "and have discovered
that it cannot be done if he hates another man. Hate
blocks his energy and he isn't up to par until he eliminates it
and develops a friendly feeling." People who lack energy are
disorganized by their deep, fundamental emotional and psychological
conflicts, such as guilt and fear. But healing is
ever possible.
The surest way not to become tired is to lose yourself in
something in which you have a profound conviction.
A famous statesman who made seven speeches in one
day was still boundless in energy.
"Why are you not tired after making seven speeches?" I
asked.
"Because," he said, "I believe absolutely in everything I
said in those speeches. I am enthusiastic about my convictions."
That's the secret. He was on fire for something. He was
pouring himself out, and you never lose energy and vitality
in so doing. You only lose energy when life becomes dull in
your mind. Your mind gets bored and therefore tired doing
nothing. You don't have to be tired. Get interested in something.
Get absolutely enthralled in something. Throw yourself
into it with abandon. Get out of yourself. Be somebody.
Do something. Don't sit around moaning about things, reading
the papers, and saying, "Why don't they do something?"
The man who is out doing something isn't tired. If you're not
getting into good causes, no wonder you're tired. You're
disintegrating. You're dying on the vine. The more you lose
yourself in something bigger than yourself, the more energy

A Peaceful Mind Generates Power

At breakfast in a hotel dining room, one man complained of
a sleepless night. He had tossed and turned and was about as
exhausted as when he retired. "Guess I'd better stop listening
to the news before going to bed," he observed. "I tuned in
last night and got an ear full of trouble."
Another man spoke up, "I had a grand night. Of course, I
used my go-to-sleep plan which never fails to work."
I prodded him for his plan, which he explained as follows:
"When I was a boy, my father, a farmer, had the habit
of gathering the family in the parlor at bedtime and he read
to us out of the Bible. After prayers I would go up to my
room and sleep like a top. But when I left home I got away
from the Bible reading and prayer habit.
"For years practically the only time I ever prayed was
when I got into a jam. But some months ago my wife and I,
having difficult problems, decided we would try it again. We
found it a helpful practice, so now every night before going
to bed she and I together read the Bible and pray. I don't
know what there is about it, but I have been sleeping better
and things have improved. In fact, even on the road, as I am
now, I still read the Bible and pray. Last night I read the
Twenty-third Psalm out loud."
He turned to the other man and said, "I didn't go to bed
with an ear full of trouble. I went to sleep with a mind full of
peace."
Well, there are two cryptic phrases for you-"an ear full of
trouble" and "a mind full of peace." Which do you choose?
The essence of the secret lies in a change of mental attitude.
One must learn to live on a different thought basis, and
even though thought change requires effort, it is much easier
than to continue living as you are. The life of strain is difficult.
The life of inner peace, being harmonious and without
stress, is the easiest type of existence. The chief struggle
then in gaining mental peace is the effort of revamping your
thinking to the relaxed attitude of acceptance of God's gift of
peace.
As a physician said, "Many of my patients have nothing
wrong with them except their thoughts. So I have a favorite
prescription I write for some. It is a verse from the Bible,
'Romans 12:2.' I do not write out that verse for my patients. I
make them look it up and it reads: ' ...be ye transformed by
the renewing of your mind. ...' To be happier and healthier
they need a renewing of their minds, that is, a change in their
thoughts. When they 'take' this prescription, they actually
achieve a mind full of peace. That helps to produce health
and well-being."
A primary method for gaining a mind full of peace is to
practice emptying the mind. At least twice a day, empty your
mind of fears, hates, insecurities, regrets, and guilt feelings.
To prevent unhappy thoughts from sneaking in again, immediately
fill your mind with creative and healthy thoughts. At
intervals during the day practice thinking a carefully selected
series of peaceful thoughts. Let mental pictures of the most
peaceful scenes you have ever witnessed pass across your
mind, as, for example, the silvery light of the moon falling
upon rippling waters, or the sea washing gently upon soft
shores of sand. Such peaceful thought images will work
upon your mind as a healing medicine.
Repeat audibly some peaceful words. Words have profound
suggestive power, and there is healing in the very
saying of them. Use a word such as "serenity." Picture serenity
as you say it. Repeat it slowly and in the mood of
which the word is a symbol.
It is also helpful to use lines from poetry or passages
from the Scriptures. A man of my acquaintance who
achieved a remarkable peace of mind has the habit of writing
on cards unusual quotations expressing peacefulness. He
carries one of the cards in his wallet at all times, referring to
it frequently until each quotation is committed to memory.
He says that each such idea dropped into the subconscious
"lubricates" his mind with peace. One of the quotations he
used is from a sixteenth-century mystic, "Let nothing disturb
you. Let nothing frighten you. Everything passes away except
God. God alone is sufficient."
There are other practical ways by which you can develop
serenity and quiet attitudes. One way is through your conversation.
In a group when the conversation takes a trend
that is upsetting, try injecting peaceful ideas into the talk. To
have peace of mind, fill your personal and group conversations
with positive, happy, optimistic, satisfying expressions.
Another effective technique in developing a peaceful
mind is the daily practice of silence. Insist upon not less than
a quarter of an hour of absolute quiet every twenty-four
hours. Go alone into the quietest place available to you and
sit or lie down for fifteen minutes and practice the art of silence.
Do not write or read. Think as little as possible.
Throw your mind into neutral. Conceive of your mind as the
surface of a body of water and see how nearly quiet you can
make it, so that there is not a ripple. When you have attained
a quiescent state, listen for the deeper sounds of harmony
and beauty and of God that are to be found in the essence of
silence.
Saturate your thoughts with peaceful experiences, peaceful
words and ideas, and ultimately you will have a storehouse
of peace-producing experiences to which you may
turn for refreshment and renewal of your spirit. It will be a
vast source of power.
