Every thought of yours has literal
value to you in every possible way
The strength of your body. the
strength Of your mind, your success IN
business and the pleasure your COM
pany brings others depend on the ma
ture of your thoughts. Every one OF
your thoughts is part of yourself. II
is felt by others as part of yoursen.
You need not always speak to be agree
able company. Those near you will feel
your thought pleasantly if yours are
pleasant thoughts. You need not al
ways speak to be felt disagreeable.
Your disagreeable thoughts will also
be felt. A persons magnetism" is
their thought. Magnetic power or in
fiuence is simply thought felt by others.
If your thought is despondent, gloomy,
jealous, carping, cynical, 1t repels III
cheerful, hopeful and full of earnest
desire to do the most good possible to
anyone you meet, though but for
single minute, 1t attracts.
Your value and charm for others, as
a companion, depends far more on
what you think than on what You
say. If your thought is all pure, clean,
bright, confident and courageous you
are a value, and an increasing value
wherever you go. People will always
be glad to see you. When you bring
yourself (your thoughD you bring an
actual pleasure to people. You bring
also a power and strength to them.
Your thought helps to strengthen their
bodies. They feel better for seeing you.
You are as a fountain of health and
pleasure wherever you go. You can
disarm the sourest temper and the
person most opposed to you. When
you can say in mind, 81 refuse to look
upon any person as my enemy" you
will have no enemies. When we talk
of "having enemies" and keep on, in
thought, looking on certain PEOPLE as
enemies, we are making them enemies,
because such people feel that order OF
thought coming from us. 1t is an ele-
ment flowing from you to them. 1t
affects them disagreeably. If You are
sending out the thought, II am not
your enemy; l do not wish to feel dis
agreeable toward you. l want to like
you better than I do" they will soon
feel this thought. They cannot resist
it's power. The thought of good is al
ways stronger than that of evil This
is a law of nature. The corner stone
in the power and charm of a persons
thought is this, expressed in words;
"I want to help you in whatever way
can. 1 want to help build you up.
I want to help you to better health, to
better business, to the place where you
really belong, to the position where
your talents may most shine" If this
thought is sincere it carries immense
power. 1t will always be drawing
more power to you, because every add1-
tional persons good will you so draw
and fasten to you is an additional un-
seen will of life feeding yours. 1t is a
will of substance, though unseen, as
real as the elements we do see. Good
will of others is constructive thought.
1t helps build us up. 1t is good for
your body. 1t makes your blood purer,
your muscles stronger and your whole
is the usual 'elixir of life." The more
of such thought you attract to you the
more life will you have. You draw,
then, the best elements from all with
whom you associate. If you send out
a contrary order of thought you draw
to you from the mthe poisonous and
to you from them the poisonous and
your body. There Is no myth of senti-
ment. 1t belongs to the same system
of law whereby the sun gives heat,
the winds blow, the tide moves, the
seed grows. In whatever mood you
set your mind will you receive of un-
seen substance in correspondence with
that mood. 1t is as much a chemical
law as it is a mental and a spiritual
law. Chemistry is not confined to the
elements we see. The elements we do
not see with the physical eye outnum-
ber ten thousand times those we do not
see. The Christ injunction, "Do good
to those who hate you," is based on
scientific fact and natural law. So
to do good is to bring to yourself all
the elements in nature of power and
