A king was out hunting with his
princes in a forest many miles from the castle. A sudden snowstorm fell on the
party. In the confusion, the king was separated from the others. When he failed
to return to the castle after four days he was given up as lost. But on the
fifth day, he appeared in the warm dining room.
Someone asked him how he had found strength enough to
keep going. The king replied, "I remembered all that the
castle means to me."
That kind
of thinking will keep anyone going forward. Even while involved in difficulties
and obstacles, we can remember what it means to succeed. This remembrance
creates a powerful emotional force that carries us through.
It is helpful to concentrate on some specific castle, that is, some special
goal of yours. Examples:
To be less tense and anxious
To build a brighter future
To banish depression
To be a better businessperson
To have smoother human relations.
Think of what it means to win one of these. Remember the rewards that go with
your success. This supplies strength that keeps you going all the way to your
castle. VH
"A
thrill passes through all men at the reception of a new truth . . ." (Emerson)
There is a hidden fire in your nature, which if you turn
outward, will guide you into prosperity. Learn how to turn this fire over the
world by repeating: “The words that I speak unto you, it is not I that
speak, but the Father that dwelleth in me.” ECH
