NECESSITY OF CONSTRUCTIVE THINKING

USE OF WILL POWER
Question—In "The Science of Mind," I find an article that makes me wonder if I have not been making the wrong use of will power. I cannot quite grasp it. What is the right way to use will power?

ANSWER—The will is not creative but a directive force. It is an instrument of the intellect, not of the imagination. When the imagination and the will are in conflict the imagination invariably wins. This is because emotion strikes deeper into the well-springs of being than does the intellect. We do not will things to happen, and yet a man without will would be like a log adrift on a current. Use your will in making decisions and your feeling and imagination in backing them up. (page 57)
