GETTING INTO THE RIGHT BUSINESS
SUCCESS, IN ANY PARTICULAR BUSINESS, DEPENDS FOR ONE THING UPON YOUR POSSESSING IN A WELL-DEVELOPED STATE THE FACULTIES REQUIRED IN THAT BUSINESS.
WITHOUT GOOD MUSICAL FACULTY NO ONE SUCCEED AS A TEACHER OF MUSIC, WITHOUT WELL-DEVELOPED MECHANICAL FACULTIES NO ONE CAN ACHIEVE GREAT SUCCESS IN ANY OF THE MACHANICAL TRADERS, WITHOUT TACT COMMERCIAL FACULTIES NO ONE CAN SUCCEED IN MERCANTILE PURSUIT. BUT TO POSSESS IN A WELL-DEVELOPED STATE THE FACULTIES REQUIRED IN YOUR PARTICULAR VOCATION DOES NOT INSURE GETTING RICH, THER ARE MUSICIANS WHO HAVE REMARKABLE TALENT, AND WHO YET REMAIN POOR, THERE ARE BLACKSMITHS, CARPENTERS, AND SO ONE WHO HAVE EXCELLENT MACHANICAL ABILITY, BUT WHO DO NOT GET RICH, AND THERE ARE MERCHANTS WITH GOOD FACULTIES FOR DEALING WITH MEN WHO NEVERTHELESS FAIL.
THE DIFFERENT FACULTIES ARE TOOLS. IT IS ESSENTIAL TO HAVE GOOD TOOLS, BUT IT IS ALSO ESSENTIAL THAT THE TOOLS SHOULD BE USED IN THE RIGHT WAY. ONE CARPENTER CAN TAKE A SHARP SAW, A SQUARE, A GOOD PLANE, AND SO ON, AND BUILD A HANDSOME ARTICLE OF FURNITURE, ANOTHER CARPENTER CAN TAKE THE SAME TOOLS AND SET TO WORK TO DUPLICATE THE ARTICLE, BUT THE PRODUCTION WILL BE A BOTCH. THAT CARPENTER DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO USE GOOD TOOLS IN A SUCCESSFUL WAY.
THE VARIOUS FACULTIES OF YOUR MIND ARE THE TOOLS WITH WHICH YOU MUST DO THE WORK THAT IS TO MAKE YOU RICH. IT WILL BE EASIER FOR YOU TO SUCCEED IF YOU GET INTO A BUSINESS FOR WHICH YOU ARE WELL EQUIPPED WITH MENTAL TOOLS.
GENERALLY SPEAKING, YOU WILL DO BEST IN THAT BUSINESS WHICH WILL USE YOUR STRONGEST FACULTIES, THE ONE FOR WHICH YOU ARE NATURALLY "BEST FITTED". BUT THERE ARE LIMITATIONS TO THIS STATEMENT, ALSO. WE NEVER SHOULD REGARD OUR VOCATION AS BEING IRREVOCABLY FIXED BY THE TENDENCIES WITH WHICH WE WERE BORN.
YOU CAN GET RICH IN ANY BUSINESS. EVEN IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TALENT, YOU CAN DEVELOP THAT TALENT. IT MERELY MEANS THAT YOU WILL HAVE TO MAKE YOUR TOOLS AS YOU GO ALONG, INSTEAD OF CONFINING YOURSELF TO THE USE OF THOSE WITH WHICH YOU WERE BORN. IT WILL BE EASIER FOR YOU TO SUCCEED IN A VOCATION FOR WHICH YOU ALREADY HAVE THE TALENTS IN A WELL-DEVELOPED STATE, BUT YOU CAN SUCCEED IN ANY VOCATION. YOU CAN DEVELOP ANY RUDIMENTARY TALENT, AND THERE IS NO TALENT OF WHICH YOU HAVE NOT AT LEAST THE RUDIEMENT.
YOU WILL GET RICH MOST EASILY IN POINT OF EFFORT, IF YOU DO THAT FOR WHICH YOU ARE BEST FITTED, BUT YOU WILL GET RICH OST SATISFACTORILY IF YOU DO THAT WHICH YOU WANT TO DO.
DOING WHAT YOU WANT TO DO IS LIFE, AND THERE IS NO REAL SATISFACTION IN LIVING IF WE ARE COMPELLED TO BE FOREVER DOING SOMTHING THAT WE DO NOT LIKE TO DO, AND CAN NEVER DO WHAT WE WANT TO DO. AND IT IS CERTAIN THAT YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO. THE DESIRE TO DO IT IS PROOF THAT YOU HAVE WITHIN YOU THE POWER THAT CAN DO IT.
DESIRE IS A MANIFESTATION OF POWER.
THE DESIRE TO PLAY MUSIC IS THE POWER THAT CAN PLAY MUSIC SEEKING EXPRESSION AND DEVELOPMENT, THE DESIRE TO INVENT MECHANICAL DEVICES IS THE MECHANICAL TALENT SEEKING EXPRESSION AND DEVELOPMENT.
WHERE THERE IS NO POWER, EITHER DEVELOPED OR UNDEVELOPED, TO DO A THING, THERE IS NEVER ANY DESIRE TO DO THAT THING. WHERE THER IS STRONG DESIRE TO DO A THING, IT IS CERTAIN PROOF THAT THE POWER TO DO IT IS STRONG AND ONLY REQUIRES DEVELOPING AND APPLYING IT IN THE RIGHT WAY.
ALL THINGS ELSE BEING EQUAL, IT IS BEST TO SELECT THE BUSINESS FOR WHICH YOU HAVE TO THE BEST DEVELOPET TALENT. HOWEVER, IF YOU HAVE A STRONG DESIRE TO ENGAGE IN ANY PARTICULAR LINE OF WORK, YOU SHOULD SELECT THAT WORK AS THE ULTIMATE END AT WHICH YOU AIM.
YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO, AND IT IS YOUR RIGHT AND PRIVILEGE TO FOLLOW THE BUSINESS OR AVOCATION THAT WILL BE MOST CONGENIAL AND PLEASANT.
YOU ARE NOT BLIGED TO DO WHAT YOU DO NOT LIKE TO DO, AND SHOULD NOT DO IT EXCEPT AS A MEANS TO BRING YOU TO THE DOING OF THE THINGYOU WANT TO DO .
IF THER ARE PAST MISTAKE WHOSE CONSEQUENCES HAVE PLACED YOU IN AN UNDESIRABLE BUSINESS OR ENVIRONMENT, YOU MAY BE OBLIGED FOR SOME TIME TO DO WHAT YOU DO NOT LIKE TO DO. HOWEVER, YOU CAN MAKE THE DOING OF IT PLEASANT BY KNOWING THAT IT IS MAKING IT POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO COME TO THE DOING OF WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.
A DAY OR TWO SPENT IN CONTEMPLATING THE VISION OF WHAT YOU WANT, AND IN EARNEST THANKGIVING THAT YOU ARE GETTING IT, WILL BRING YOUR MIND INTO SUCH CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE SUPREME THAT YOU WILL MAKE TO MISTAKE WHEN YOU DO ACT.
THERE IS A MIND THAT KNOWS ALL THERE IS TO KNOW, AND YOU CAN COME INTO CLOSE INITY WITH THIS MIND BY FAITH AND THE PURPOSE TO ADVANCE IN LIFE, IF YOU HAVE DEEP GRATITUDE.
MISTAKES COME FROM ACTING HASTILY, OR FROM ACTING IN FEAR OR DOUBT, OR IN FORGETFULNESS OF THE RIGHT MOTIVE, WHICH IS MORE LIFE TO ALL, AND LESS TO NONE.
AS YOU GO ON IN THE CERTAIN WAY, OPPORTUNITIES WILL COME TO YOU IN INCREASING NUMBER, AND YOU WILL NEED TO BE VERY STEADY IN YOUR FAITH AND PURPOSE, AND TO KEEP IN CLOSE TOUCH WITH GOD BY REVERENT GRATITUDE.
DO ALL THAT YOU DO IN A PERFECT MANNER EVERY DAY, BUT DO IT WITHOUT HASTE, WORRY, OR FEAR, GO AS FAST AS YOU CAN, BUT NEVER HURRY.
REMEMBER THAT IN THE MOMENT YOU BEGIN TO HURRY YOU CEASE TO BE A CREATOR AND BECOME A COMPETITOR, YOU DROP BACK UPON THE OLD PLACE AGAIN.
WHENEVER YOU FIND YOURSELF HURRYING, CALL A HALT, FIX YOUR ATTENTION ON THE MENTAL IMAGE OF THE THING YOU WANT, AND BEGIN TO GIVE THANKS THAT YOU ARE GETTING IT. THE EXERCISE OF GRATITUDE WILL NEVER FAIL TO STRENGTHEN YOUR FAITH AND RENEW YOUR PURPOSE.
