THE INNER VOICE


. Of my parents. Afraid of the
unfavorable remarks and criti.
cisms Of friends"
These are the most common ex-
pressions. limiting at the trouble
and despair which haunts the
souls of thousands of young girls.
And to all of these / wish to give
a word or two Of very definite
advice.
First, choose your line of work
and go after it. No one else has
a right to or can decide for you
as to your life employment.
Second, break the ice and make
a start. 1t is never half so diff
cult as Il seems, to take up a
work In line with ones ambition.
The very fact that your desire
is strong means an equally strong
probability that you will succeed.
Third, let no imagined weak
ness of mind hinder you. The
only weakness you need to fear
IL the possible false belief in
your weakness. A belief in your
strength. and a few steps toward
the realization of that faith will
change all in your favor.
Overcome this one enemy of
fear and all the others will be
put, to rout, and you overcome
the fear enemy by acting as il
1t were not real, by stepping
boldly in the direction whittier
fear says not to go.
Every young girl should mark
clearly this one reliable rule,
namely, it is better to struggle,
strive for what you want and lose
1t than not to strive at all.
If you do not struggle toward
your hearts desire. if you sit
back cringing with fear and
over-mastered with doubt and
cr1tictsm-then you hate yourself
and make the whole world look
ugly.
You can become anything
within reason and common sense,
which you desire to become.
Self-pity and self.hatred weaken
you in every respect. Cheerful.
ness. determination and a taking
OF the first step in the direction
OF your ambition have precisely
the opposite effect. You respect
yourself and the world grows
fond of you.
Very well, now that you are
convinced. cut loose from your
demons-they are only imaginary
and start bravely to the fulfil.
ment of your own dreams.
Take the first step and the rest
IN easy.
