REALIZING
DREAMS AND
AMBITIONS
BY Angela Morgan.
VyHATEvER you want that is gooa

|W/HA1EVER you want that is good
w is yours. Whatever you long for
that is essential to your happiness.
your growth, your larger living, belongs
to you If you will but have the daring.
the determination and the faith to claim
it.
Every human being has a hearts de-
sire. Every one <cherishes a dream of
some achievement which represents to
MIN the acme of happiness or success in
this life.
Know that if yau decree with might
that the thing you want is yours-and if
you SUCK to that decree-nothing can
keep you from claiming your own.
The power to realize your dreams and
ambitions lies in you The demand is in
you, is it not? So is the supply 1t is
ignorance 1t is weakness, to be fearful
of recognizing your wants. 1t is coward
ice not to follow their lead
The very fact that you long for thing.
that you need it and that your life is
not complete without it is proof positive
that you can possess it if you put forth
the right sort of effort to gain it.
Your desire holds within it the seeds of
its own fulfillment. The same force which
sends desire springing in your heart
VIII work through you to help you realize
that desire If you will only be bold
enough to believe it, The universal en-
ergy pushing through you for expression
is responsible for your wants, your long
ings. League your mind with this en-
ergy and you will see the cherished
dreams of your life come true.
Cut off from the old, futile ways OF
wanting things-the weak wavering
doubtful wanting. A want backed by
fear and uncertainty will remain a want
for all time. A want that doubts it's own
reason for being, or that fears it ought
not to exist, is doomed also to everlasting
non fulfllment.
Have nothing to do with these negative
ways of wishing and dreaming. Be bold,
be positive, be determined. Decree that
the thing you want you are going to
have You are the one to make such de-
cree. 1t is for you to say what you will
achieve,
1t is a mistake to suppose that some
of your wants may be realized and that
odthers are impossible of fulf1llment. Only
those you think impossible are so. Your
mind sets the limits. Your fear estab-
fishes the barriers There are no such
barriers in the universal mind.
Isn't it true that in the past you al
ways accomplished the things you really
believed yourself able to accomplish? You
always got the things you honestly tried
hard enough to get, didn't you? And
whenever you failed in an undertaking
it was because when you started in you
did not have the conviction through and
through that you would succeed
1t is absolutely true that according to
the might of your decree and the courage
of it, so you shall realize. The dreams
you indulge, the ideals you cherish, are
glimpses of what you really can do if you
will. They are prophecies of the success,
the happiness, the good that are on the
way to you.
Do not ignore them nor slight them nor
fear to follow them. So surely as the
sun shines the thing you want is yours.
Decree it, and stick to that decree.

enters the tenement In either event she
always comes to him with the firm deter
mination that no word of reproach shall
escape her lips.
But just as invariably, when she enters
her clean little room and finds it swept of
its furnishings, even to the fine feather
bed she brought from the old sod, and
sees her wardrobe gone and in their stead
the demijohn and onions, her temper
holds in no longer. In words both many
and eloquent she tells Mike what she
thinks of him.
In silence, at first smiling but turning
sullen as she proceeds, Michael takes her
chiding. When it has gone as far as he
thinks permissible he rises from the floor
unsteadily, milk can<in hand, and pro-
ceeds to brandish it.
She shrieks and runs from the room
He follows her down the stairs shouting,
both taking many more steps at time
than they do in any other circumstances.
They reach the street nearly together,
though Julia always has a little the best
of it. Then the patrol wagon, the Police
Court, and Michael goes up once more.
They never think of assigning anybody
else to the wagon.
