included. and if there is SO much play

The power OF EnthusIaan.

Enthusiasm is one magnet Of
power. You must fire every event
with il, touch thoughts and acts
with it. 1t will transmute dross
into gold, drudgery into delight.
What matters if the soul which
lives beside you is cold and selfish !?
Set him a good example, Joy is
sunshine, and he will feel it. Every
irksome task is chance for power,
for the qualities which they bring
out are Gods gifts which fit us to
enjoy better things. Easy things
will come if you have spent your
hearts blood on gaining strength,
for the very goal of power is the
ease which comes from strength.
We laugh at things and people who
used to COW or annoy US. We do
gracefully and swiftly the tasks
once so hard. One by one we have
unriveted our chains. We are free.
