Iron in the Soul
BY Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

Just as you need iron in your body.
And the best form in which to get iron
Is not any kind of iron tonic. pills, or
tinctures, but such combinations of iron
Is occur ir-natural foods.
So you do not need any Spartan cult,
any ARTIFICIAL tonIng up, Under me speff
of some fad but daily iron that comes
from right living.
What | mean by iron is that hardness
Of will. that rigidity of purpose, that firm
,elf-mastery. which makes life strong
md positive and efficient
To be more specific what you need is
more vrle Will
That means 10 have yourself so in hand
that when your judgment says Il must"
you obey gladly, without struggle or
friction.
Most OF our unhapplness comes from
1abhness OF viii The will is clogged by
lesires 1t moves laggardly. creakily., if
il all. a CT
The will ought to operate as tenseiy
What q lot Of pain and fancy misery
we endure Just because we cannot move
swiftly to do the thing We ought-and
ENJOY IT,
Men. women. and children are whining.
pulling. COMPLAINING. writhing. all because
they have developed strong desires and
no will to handle them.
How can get iron into my souls
olood7
The first thing 10 do is to realize that
the better and more permanent satisfae-
tons Of life are those we get by oyercom-
ing not those We get by yielding.
Man is essentially master Tne ego
is wretched when il is not dominant.
And the first Of all to dominate is ones
self
Self-mastery is not the secret Of
power only. but also Of JOY.
The happy, cheerful. contented per-
son is not the one that everlastngly
has strawberries, sugar and cream. and
sits ON a cushion and sews fine seam"
40 one ever got to heaven nor into
heavenly state Of mind permanently by
self-indulgence.
Discipline is the father of happiness.
Right on the heels of self-pampering
follow the seven devils of perversion.
with their seven whips Of pain. and
their seven poisoned prods of self-con-
tempt.
Then, having realized the need Of self
mastery, you must practice it.
And do not take it up as an exercise
apart from your life. like dumb bells. but
put it into your daily program Plan to
De daily at something that calls for CO.
arcing self
Do regularly something hard. William
James used TO say we ought 10 do every
lay two or three things we particularly
iisliked-lust for practice.
Change your tastes-in work in play,
in eating, and drinking, in music. in art.
Make up your mind what you OUGHT TO
ike and drill yourself into liking it. 9th
,rwise it's downstream for you
Change your desires Do not forever
Dc led by the nose by your cravings.
Rc-enthrone your intelligence, and put
he sceptre Of will in its hand.
Why?
So that you can be happy. It's the
only way
The pits Of Indebtedness, world weari-
ness, and boredom are full Of the slack
'rs and weddings. The drunkards, dope
victims. sex perverts, loafers, and all the
nnumerable company Of the lost, are
hey that have no iron in the soul.
