LESSON
XI. CONCENTRATE ON COURAGE
Courage
is the backbone of man. The man with courage has
persistence.
He states what he believes and puts it into
execution.
The courageous man has confidence. He draws to himself
all the
moral qualities and mental forces which go to make up a
strong
man. Whereas, the man without courage draws to himself all
the
qualities of a weak man, vacillation, doubt, hesitancy, and
unsteadiness
of purpose. You can therefore see the value of
Psychic
- Concentration on courage. It is a most vital element of success.
The lack
of courage creates financial, as well as mental and
moral
difficulties. When a new problem comes, instead of looking
upon it
as something to be achieved, the man or woman without
courage
looks for reasons why it cannot be done and failure is
naturally
the almost inevitable result. This is a subject well
worthy
of your study. Look upon everything within your power as a
possibility
instead of as merely a probability and you will
accomplish
a great deal more, because by considering a thing as
impossible,
you immediately draw to yourself all the elements
that
contribute to failure. Lack of courage destroys your
confidence
in yourself. It destroys that forceful, resolute
attitude
so important to success.
The man
without courage unconsciously draws to himself all that
is
contemptible, weakening, demoralizing and destructive. He then
blames
his luck when he does not secure the things he weakly
desires.
We must first have the courage to strongly desire
something.
A desire to be fulfilled must be backed by the
strength
of all our mental forces. Such a desire has enough
commanding
force to change all unfavorable conditions. The man
with
courage commands, whether be is on the battlefield or in
business
life.
What is
courage? It is the Will To Do. It takes no more energy to
be
courageous than to be cowardly. It is a matter of the right
training
in the right way. Courage concentrates the mental forces
on the
task at hand. It then directs them thoughtfully, steadily,
deliberately,
while attracting all the forces of success, toward
the
desired end. Cowardice on the other hand, dissipates both our
mental
and moral forces, thereby inviting failure.
As we
are creatures of habits, we should avoid persons that lack
courage.
They are easy to discover because of their habits of
fear in
attacking new problems. The man with courage is never
afraid.
Start
out today with the idea that there is no reason why you
should
not be courageous. If any fear-thoughts come to you cast
them off
as you would the deadly viper. Form the habit of never
thinking
of anything unfavorable to yourself or anyone else. In
dealing
with difficulties, new or old, hold ever the thought, "I
am
courageous." Whenever a doubt crosses the threshold of your
mind,
banish it. Remember, you as master of your mind control its
every
thought, and here is a good one to often affirm, "I have
courage
because I desire it; because I need it; because I use it
and
because I refuse to become such a weakling as cowardice
produces."
There is
no justification for the loss of courage. The evils by
which you
will almost certainly be overwhelmed without it are far
greater
than those which courage will help you to meet and
overcome.
Right, then, must be the moralist who says that the
only
thing to fear is fear.
Never
let another's opinion affect you; he cannot tell what you
are able
to do; he does not know what you can do with your
forces.
The truth is you do not know yourself until you put
yourself
to the test. Therefore, how can someone else know? Never
let
anyone else put a valuation on you.
Almost
all wonderful achievements have been accomplished after it
had been
"thoroughly" demonstrated that they were
impossibilities.
Once we understand the law, all things are
possible.
If they were impossibilities we could not conceive
them.
Just the
moment you allow someone to influence you against what
you
think is right, you lose that confidence in yourself that
inspires
courage and carries with it all the forces which courage
creates.
Just the moment you begin to swerve in your plan you
begin to
carry out another's thought and not your own. You become
the
directed and not the director. You forsake the courage and
resolution
of your own mind, and you therefore lack the very
forces
that you need to sustain and carry out your work. Instead
of being
self-reliant you become timid and this invites failure.
When you
permit yourself to be influenced from your plan by
another,
you are unable to judge as you should, because you have
allowed
another's influence to deprive you of your courage and
determination
without absorbing any of his in return so you are
in much
the same predicament, as you would be in if you turned
over all
your worldly possessions to another without getting
"value
received."
Concentrate
on just the opposite of fear, want, poverty,
sickness,
etc. Never doubt your own ability. You have plenty, if
you will
just use it. A great many men are failures because they
doubt
their own capacity. Instead of building up strong mental
forces
which would be of the greatest use to them their fear
thoughts
tear them down. Fear paralyzes energy. It keeps us from
attracting
the forces that go to make up success. Fear is the
worst
enemy we have.
There
are few people that really know that they can accomplish
much.
They desire the full extent of their powers, but alas, it
is only
occasionally that you find a man that is aware of the
great
possibilities within him. When you believe with all your
mind and
heart and soul that you can do something, you thereby
develop
the courage to steadily and confidently live up to that
belief.
You have now gone a long way towards accomplishing it.
The
chances are that there will be obstacles, big and little, in
your
way, but resolute courage will overcome them and nothing
else
will. Strong courage eliminates the injurious and opposing
forces
by summoning their masters, the yet stronger forces that
will
serve you.
Courage
is yours for the asking. All you have to do is to believe
in it,
claim it and use it. To succeed in business believe that
it will
be successful, assert that it is successful, and work
like a
beaver to make it so. Difficulties soon melt away before
the
courageous. One man of courage can fire with his spirit a
whole
army of men, whether it be military or industrial, because
courage,
like cowardice, is contagious.
The man
of courage overcomes the trials and temptations of life;
he
commands success; he renders sound judgment; he develops
personal
influence and a forceful character and often becomes the
mentor
of the community which he serves.
How to
Overcome Depression and Melancholia. Both of the former
are
harmful and make you unhappy. These are states that can be
quickly
overcome through concentrating more closely on the higher
self,
for when you do you cut off the connection with the harmful
force
currents. You can also drive away moods by simply choosing
and
fully concentrating on an agreeable subject. Through will
power
and thought control we can accomplish anything we want to
do.
There is wonderful inherent power within us all, and there is
never
any sufficient cause for fear, except ignorance.
Every
evil is but the product of ignorance, and everyone that
possesses
the power to think has the power to overcome ignorance
and
evil. The pain that we suffer from doing evil are but the
lessons
of experience, and the object of the pain is to make us
realize
our ignorance. When we become depressed It is evidence
that our
thought faculties are combining improperly and thereby
attracting
the wrong force-currents.
All that
it is necessary to do is to exercise the will and
concentrate
upon happy subjects. I will only think of subjects
worthy
of my higher self and its powers.
