PARTNER OF SUCCESS
SUCCESS MEANS SUCCESSFUL LIVING. A LONG PERIOD OF PEACE, JOY, AND HAPPINESS ON THIS PLANE MAY BE TERMED SUCCESS. THE ETERNAL EXPERIECE OF THESE QUALITIES IS THE EVERLASTING LIFE SPOKEN OF BY JESUS. THE REAL THINGS OF LIFE, SUCH AS PEACE, HARMONY, INTEGRITY, SECURITY, AND HAPPINESS ARE INTANGIBLE. THEY COME FROM THE DEEP SELF OF MAN. MEDITATING ON THESE QUALITIES BUILDS THESE TREASURE OF HEAVEN IN OUR SUBCONSCIOUS. IT IS WHERE MOTH AND RUST DO NOT CONSUME, AND WHEN THIEVES DO NOT BREAK THROUGH AND STEAL.
THE THREE STEPS TO SUCCESS
LET US DISCUSS THREE STEPS TO SUCCESS. THE FIRST STEP TO SUCCESS IS TO FIND OUT THE THING YOU LOVE TO DO, THEN DO IT. SUCCESS IS IN LOVING YOUR WORK. ALTHOUGH, IF A MAN IS A PSYCHIATRIST, IT IS NOT ADEQUATE FOR HIM TO GET A DIPLOMA AND PLACE IT ON WHE WALL, HE MUST KEEP UP WITH THE TIMES, ATTEND CONVENTIONS, AND CONTINUE STUDYING THE MIND AND ITS WORKINGS. THE SUCCESSFUL PSYCHIATRIST VISITS CLINICS AND READS THE LATEST SCIENTIFIC ARTICLES. IN OTHER WORDS, HE IS INFORMED IN THE MOST ADVANCED METHODS OF ALLEVATING HUMAN SUFFERING. THE SUCCESSFUL PSYCHIATRIST OR DOCTOR MUST HAVE THE INTEREST OF HIS PATIENTS AT HEART. SOMEONE MAY SAY. HOW CAN I PUT THE FIRST STEP INTO OPERATION? I DO NOT KNOW WHAT I SHOULD DO". IN SUCH A CASE, PRAY FOR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND REVEALS TO ME MY TRUE PLACE IN LIFE". REPEAT THIS PRAYER QUIETLY. POSITIVELY, AND LOVINGLY TO YOUR DEEPER MIND. AS YOU PERSIST WITH FAITH AND CONFIDENCE, THE ANSWER WILL COME TO YOU AS A FEELING, A HUNCH, OR A TENDENCY IN PEACE, AND AS AN INNER SILENT AWARENESS.
THE SECOND STEP TO SUCCESS IS TO SPECIALIZE IN SOME PARTICULAR BRANCH OF WORK AND KNOW MORE ABOUT IT THAN ANYONE ELSE. FOR EXAMPLE, IF A YOUNG MAN CHOOSES CHEMISTRY AS HIS PROFESSION, HE SHOULD CONCENTRATE ON ONE OF THE MANY BRANCHES IN THIS FIELD. HE SHOULD GIVE ALL OF HIS TIME AND ATTENTION TO HIS CHOSEN SPECIALITY. HE SHOULD BECOME SUFFICIENTLY ENTHUSIASTIC TO TRY TO KNOW ALL THERE IS AVAILABLE ABOUT HIS FIELD. IF POSSIBLE, HE SHOULD BECOME ARDENTLY INTERESTED IN HIS WORK AND SHOULD DESIRE TO SERVE THE WORLD. HE THAT IS GREATEST AMONG YOU, LET HIM BECOME YOUR SERVANT. THERE IS A GREAT CONSTRAST IN THIS ATTITUDE OF MIND IN COMPARISON TO THAT OF THE MAN WHO ONLY WANTS TO MAKES A LIVING OR JUST "GET BY", "GETTING BY", IS NOT TRUE SUCCESS.
MAN'S MOTIVE MUST BE GREATER, NOBLER, AND MORE ALTRUISTIC. HE MUST SERVE OTHERS, THEREBY CASTING HIS BREAD UPON THE WATERS.
THE THIRD STEP IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE. YOU MUST BE SURE THAT THE THING YOU WANT TO DO DOES NOT REDOUND TO YOUR SUCCESS ONLY. YOUR DESIRE MUST NOT BE SELFISH, IT MUST BENEFIT HUMANITY. THE PATH OF A COMPLETE CIRCUIT MUST BE FORMED. IN OTHER WORDS, YOUR IDEA MUST GO FORTH WITH THE PURPOSE OF BLESSING OR SERVING THE WORLD. IT WILL THEN COME BACK TO YOU PRESSED DOWN, SHAKEN TOGETHER, AND RUNNING OVER. IF IT IS TO BENEFIT YOURSELF EXCLUSIVELY, THE CIRCLE OR COMPLETE CIRCUIT IS NOT FORMED, AND YOU MAY EXPERIENCE A SHORTCIRCUIT IN YOUR LIFE WHICH MAY CONSIST OF LIMITATION OR SICKNESS.
THE MEASURE OF TRUE SUCCESS
SOME PEOPLE MAY SAY,"BUT MR.JAMES SAID MADE A FORTUNE IN SELLING FRAUDULENT OIL STOCK". A MAN MAY SEEM TO SUCCEED FOR A WHILE, BUT THE MONEY HE OBTAINED BY FRAUD USUALLY TAKES WINGS AND FLIES AWAY. WHEN WE ROB FROM ANOTHER, WE ROB FROM OURSELVES, BECAUSE WE ARE IN MOOD OF LACK AND LIMITATION, WHICH MAY MANIFEST ITSELF IN OUR BODY, HOME LIFE, AND AFFAIRS. WHAT WE THINK AND FEEL, WE CREATE. WE CREATE WHAT WE BELIEVE. EVEN THOUGH A MAN MAY HAVE ACCUMULATED A FORTUNE FRAUDULENTLY, HE IS NOT SUCCESSFUL. THERE IS NO SUCCESS WITHOUT PEACE OF MIND. WHAT GOOD IS MAN'S ACCUMULATED WEALTH PEACE OF MIN. WHAT GOOD IS SICK, OR HAS A GUILT COMPLEX? I KNEW A MAN IN LONDON WHO TOLD ME OF HIS EXPLOITS. HE HAD BEEN A PROFESSIONAL PICKPOCKET AND HAD AMASSED A LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY.
HE HAD A SUMMER HOME IN FRANCE AND LIVED IN A ROYAL FASHION IN ENGLAND. HIS STORY WAS THAT HE WAS IN CONSTANT DREAD OF BEING ARRESTED BY SCOTLAND YARD. HE HAD MANY INNER DISORDERS, WHICH WERE UNDOUBTEDLY CAUSED BY HIS CONSTANT FEAR AND DEEPSEATED GUILT COMPLEX. HE KNEW HE HAR DONE WRONG. THIS DEEP SENSE OF GUILT ATTRACTED ALL KINDS OF TROUBLE TO HIM. SUBSEQUENTLY, HE VONUNTRILY SURRENDED TO THE POLICE AND SERVEDA PRISON SENTENCE. AFTER HIS RELEASE FROM PRISON, HE SOUGHT PSYCHOLOGICAL AND SPIRITUAL COUNSEL AND BECAME TRANSFORMED. HE WENT TO WORK AND BECAME AN HONEST, LAWSBIDING CITIZEN. HE FOUND WHAT HE LOVED TO DO AND WAS HAPPY. A SUCCESSFUL PERSON LOVES HIS WORK AND EXPRESSES HIMSELF FULLY. SUCCESS IS CONTINGENT UPON A HIGHER IDEAL THAN THE MERE ACCUMULATION OF RICHES. THE MAN OF SUCCESS IS THE MAN WHO POSSESSES GREAT PSYCHOLOGICAL AND SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING. MANY OF THE GREAT INDUSTRIALISTS TODAY DEPEND UPON THE CORRECT USE OF THEIR SUBCONSCIOUS MINDS FOR THEIR SUCCESS.
KNOWLEDGE OF A MIGHTY FORCE IN YOU, WHICH IS CAPABLE OF BRINGING TO PASS ALL YOUR DESIRES, GIVES YOU CONFIDENCE AND A SENSE OF PEACE. WHATEVER YOUR FIELD OF ACTION MAY BE, YOU SHOULD LEARN THE LAWS OF YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND, AND WHEN YOU EXPRESSING YOURSELF FULLY AND GIVING OF YOUR TALENTS TO OTHERS, YOU ARE ON THE SURE PATH TO TRUE SUCCESS. IF YOU ARE ABOUT GOD'S BUSINESS, OR ANY PART OF IT, GOD, BY HIS VERY NATURE, IS FOR YOU, SO WHO CAN BE AGAINST YOU? WITH THIS UNDERSTANDING THERE IS NO POWER IN HEAVEN OR ON EARTH TO WITHHOLD SUCCESS FROM YOU.
