You cannot bring Health, Success, Happiness and Power to others without bringing them to yourself.

=This Supreme Day=

Out of the tomb of night a day has risen.  Be not anxious, this day is all your own.  Do not hurry, for in time it is like all other days.  Neither delay, for now is opportunity.

Early turn your face to the dawn and let its beams bathe away all stains of the night.  Then, should the noon be dark with storms, your smile shall wear the serene promise of confidence and realization.

This Supreme day can only be saved by spending it.  Therefore, to its burden give your strength; to its confusion give your patience; to its sorrow give your comfort; to its trial give your nobleness; to its peril give your heroism; to its sacrifice give your love.

During this Supreme day step softly among human hearts and leave so much of kindness along its path, that in golden days, gladness shall spring up bearing its tribute to other weary hearts in the cool eventide of the world’s glad Easter.

Set eternity in your heart, let Truth be your fadeless Day Star, then over your life of service, sacrifice, courage, cheerfulness, patience, kindness and love, time shall have no power.

Lesson First

SUPREME CONTROL OF CONDITIONS

Conditions are thought made.  Change your thought and you will change your condition.  To agonize and struggle in a bad condition is like struggling in quicksand, you get in deeper.  Tell your bad conditions to another and you multiply them.  If the heavens are falling and the earth is slipping under your feet, grab a big Turkish towel, walk briskly into the supreme sanctuary of the body,—­the bath-room, take a thorough salt-water bath, with a few drops of perfume in it to awaken your self-respect.  Then in a quiet, darkened room take a good sleep of ten to fifteen hours.  Then rise and eat slowly, quietly and happily some nourishing food.  God, Himself, could do nothing with Elijah, until He had given him a long sleep and a good meal.  Then Elijah went forth and crowned a King, appointed a Prophet, established a Kingdom, and rode Home in chariots of fire.  Once you make a start, the world is at your command.  Let go of the past.  Stop the foolish thinking that conditions hold you, it is you holding onto conditions.  Quit your self-pity, blaming others, and saying you are the victim of circumstances.  Stop whining, and begin singing, then will your feet be loosed from the stocks and the iron gates open outward before you.  Look away from yourself.
