MAKING CORRECT DECISIONS
Question—Two opportunities for activity are presented to me and they are equally attractive; will you please give me some idea how to work for guidance toward making the best choice?
ANSWER—Assume a positive mental attitude of dependence upon Infinite Intelligence. Know that this Infinite Intelligence, being all wise, can only make correct decisions. Realize that this Infinite Intelligence is the only intelligence that can operate through you; since this is the case, you, yourself, I need not assume the responsibility of trying to make a decision.
In treating, know: "Infinite Intelligence, God's Intelligence, now operating in and through me as my intelligence, makes right decisions only and has already made them in my behalf. I rest in peace knowing that my problem is solved."
A SALESMAN'S QUESTION
Question—I am a salesman—with one of the best companies in its line—prices, quality and service right. When I have a well-to-do prospect, who knows my company, admits that he needs my goods and has the money to pay for them, and yet hesitates about buying, is it right, and fair to him and to myself, to treat him and endeavor to demonstrate a sale, as I know that both he and I will benefit therefrom? Would this be coercion?
ANSWER—It is never right to seek in any way to coerce the mentality of any individual, but it is right to know that intelligence will guide you to the people who need that which you have to offer, and it is right to know that intelligence completes its own work and that there can be nothing in you which can obstruct or delay the perfect fulfillment of the law of right action.
