Our dual impulses both use the brain-mind to make a case for right and wrong in the inner struggles between conscience and desire. When we decide aright, our lower nature loses the strength that is gained by our better side. In recognizing this power of creating a noble character, step by step, we find opportunities of winning point by point in meeting the routine affairs of daily life. These seemingly small victories unite their force and make us equal to the larger issues which try our souls severely. Even the failure to win at times may count as success, for the person who keeps on trying builds up his moral strength and diffuses something helpful into the very air around him.
Every day is a new beginning for all, no matter what the past has been.
To unfold, to advance, to become is the natural and vital impulse of everything and every being. The most dreary and difficult life outwardly may be a cycle of opportunity for the inner self to show its heroic courage and impersonal power.
