HOW TO LIVE LIFE AND LOVE ITby Genevieve BehrendA series of lessons to indicate in a clear, concise way "the natural principles governing the relation between the creative action of all circumstances and conditions."Ponder these excerpts.
Those who have leaned the value of the trained will, imagination, intuition, and who live accordingly, can really feel secure. The tendency of thought, the habits of thought, determine with precision one's outward affairs. So as you start to travel this road which leads to absolute liberty in all things it is necessary to leave behind all excess baggage such as self pity, intolerance, criticism, fear, despondency, feelings of superiority, and all other negative and destructive occupants of your mental house.
Your efforts to control your thoughts should be steady, continuous, with no unguarded moments. ... Go carefully over the Lord's Prayer every day. ... Us it, repeat it carefully, slowly, and with much depth of feeling, as often as there is the least tendency to slip off your path. ...
… "Seek ye FIRST the kingdom of God and His righteousness (right-use-ness) and (then) all things will be added unto you." …
Spirit's Law of Compensation: Give! And after we have given the getting automatically follows.
SEE THE RADIANT CHRIST IN ALL!
The law of life is: To change an effect the cause must be changed first. Cause leads; effects follow! Thought is the cause; conditions are the effects!
Never yet has success come, and never shall it come, to any person who simply wishes for it. Mere wishes are idle and utterly impotent unless the wish is great enough to inspire one to immediate action. Yes, action, not wishes, is the big thing.
Keeping your mind centered on the big success that you "are going to be" will never bring it to pass. You must know yourself successful now. So long as one looks upon success as a future acquirement just so long will success be postponed, just so long will its attainment always remain future. From the very start one must learn to back up the thought with the feeling, the absolute conviction, that I AM success now!
(1) "Well, why doesn't it come?"
(2) "when will it come?"
(3) "maybe this is the way it will come."
(4) "Perhaps it is not God's will that I have this."
Success does not come for the one who asks: "Well, why doesn't it come?" simply because he is asking why rather than knowing that it now is!
For the one who whimpers: "When will it come?" it shall never come so long as he asks when.
"Father, I thank Thee for the conscious knowledge that all my good comes from Thee only, and that I no longer look to man as the source of my supply!"
"God IS my ever-present supply and large sums of money come to me quickly, under grace and in perfect ways, so to bountifully supply my every need, and to spare!"
