SECRETS OF

Hx1E power OF thought is we'll
nigh unbelievable.
It can spur you on to great
deeds; it can discourage you ana
lay you low. 1t can keep you
serene and unafrafd; It can pro-
duce q cringing coward.
Thought can make You depre'
ciate yourself, accuse yourself,
make you feel guilty and in dozens
OF other ways make your life a
torment. On the other hand,
thought can produce happiness,
self.confidence, and will to over.
come any and all obstacles without
the slightest hesitation.
Thought even makes for health
or disease. Why. through thought
processes, of (which an individual
IL entirely unconscious and un-
suspecting, all so4'ts Of functional
disease conditions can be pro.
duced.
Do not. therefore. let your
thoughts run awry. Watch tnems
observe their trends.
Remember that it is not healthy
to be pessimistic, cynical or de-
pressed. .
Nature. in the last analysis. is
optimistic

just so with the mind; with its
thoughts.
Disagreeable. harmful, frighten-
ing and disappointing thoughts
are suppressed. That is, they
are pushed out of the conscious
mind.
But you must be fearless. You
must examine yourself and criti.
cize yourself and get to the
truth about yourself. no matter
how much it hurts.
We all tend to make excuses,
to explain ourselves with as lit
tie pain as possible and as
plausibly as possible.
This. however. gets nowhere.
It merely sugar-coats the bitter
pill. 1t is scarcely what mature
behavior should be.
Nor is 1t enough merely to
study the thoughts of today. You
must study also the. thoughts of
yesterday. of last year: in fact.
of all the years that have gone
before.
Because. in effect, you are
what you are today because of
the thoughts which you have
had since babyhood. Millions of
thoughts have moulded you into
your present form. Nothing.
therefore. can be unimportant in
your past.
Examine your past with this
idea in mind and it will help
you to understand yourself bet
ter.
Think straight. Think clear.
Think fearlessly.
In this way come fine living
and self.mastery.

Doubtless you have conviction
that your character is fireproof

have you ever had that firepToof

have you ever had to face the cir

Suppose you had been born OF

you are SO proud?
