that you have been fooled, and most of us have been. I know of no one who has escaped being fooled about life; you may not have had thoughts of poverty but at the same time you may have had thoughts that produced it. Just watch the process of your thinking and see how many times a day you think something you would not want to happen. This will satisfy you that you need to be watchful, that your thought needs to be controlled.
What we need to do is to reverse the process of our thinking and see to it that we think only positive, constructive thoughts. A calm determination to think just what we want to think regardless of conditions will do much to put us on the highway to a greater realization of life.
Of course we will fall, of course the road is not easy, but we will be growing. Daily we will be giving to the Creative Mind a newer and greater concept to be worked out into the life around us. Daily we will be overcoming some negative tendency. We must stick to it until we gain the mastery of all our thought and in that day we will rise never to fall again.
We must be good-natured with ourselves, never becoming discouraged or giving up until we over-come. Feel that you are always backed by an Omnipotent power and a kind Father of Love and the way will be become easier.
