OVERCOMING LACK OF CONFIDENCE
Question—Should like some help to do a little straight thinking as I am taking up a new line of work which requires more self-assurance than I seem to possess. I feel that I lack confidence in my own ability, yet I have the knowledge and experience necessary to make a success of this venture.

ANSWER—Fear or concern about ability to undertake something new presupposes duality. In reality all work (everything) is contained within the infinitude of the great whole. Nothing is new, nothing is unknown to Infinite Mind. To admit a doubt of one's ability is a misconception of that which is. Eliminate the idea of separateness, and endeavor to unify your consciousness with the thought that there is no limitation in Infinite Intelligence.

Treat believing that: "Infinite Intelligence within me knows itself to be the Creator of all situations. It knows within me that there is nothing with which it cannot cope, and that it does succeed in doing, through me, everything required in my new line of work. My intelligence is this Infinite Intelligence in operation."

STARTING A NEW WORK
Question—I am starting a new work very soon which I believe to be my big opportunity, and wish to be a perfect channel through which Divine Mind can operate successfully. Will you help me?

ANSWER—You have begun your new enterprise in a very constructive frame of mind, so there is every reason to believe you will be successful. (page 145) Your willingness to be an unobstructed channel, if persisted in, must terminate satisfactorily. In your meditation realize that Good governs all your affairs, that It makes the right contacts and compels you to think, say and do the right thing at the right time. Know that this Good Governor is all the activity there is in your world, and that It has your personal interests in Its wise and sure keeping.

Each day bless your place of business and name it a point of Success for yourself, a point where the presence of your good manifests. Never doubt, no matter what appearances may declare. See through them to the ideal, and "stay at home with Cause." The effect will take care of itself.
