Talk It, Over With
Yourself
BY GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS

We often say that we will think it
over" but we rarely, if ever, say: I'll
talk it over with myself,'
We talk over our problems and af-
fairs with others. and usually with
those who know less than we do about
them. When next you seem-most in
clined to seek advice and counsel, why
not talk it over with yourself?
Surely you can find no one else more
worthy of trust and confidenee-no
one more interested in your aspira-
tions-no one more bent upon driving
you to your finest-than your very
self.
Talk to yourself as tho you were
actually your best friend Gas you are).
Carry a regular conversation on with
yourself. Ask yourself questions.
Answer them. Take every side of
your problem and give it legs and ask
it to stand right up in front. of you
where you can see it-and talk to it.
Regardless of how you impress 9TH
ers. YOU are the most interesting per-
sonality in the world-to yourself.
Get acquainted with all that you are
and have. Get away from everyone
and talk to yourself. Talk out loud.
too, Be just as frank and honest and
modest with yourself as you try to be
with those you most honor.
Other minds may stimulate yours.
but no other mind that was ever made
is so able to prod you to your life
tasks as the one that is-yours.
Get the habit of talking things over
with yourself
