Start the New Year with that belief. Make some
effort toward what you desire to accomplish to-day.
Do not postpone it until to-morrow. To-morrow you
must make the second step. Each day you must in
some way proceed a little nearer to your aim.
If a combination of circumstances prevents you
from making progress one day, double your efforts the
next. If you have resolved to overcome some habit,
and in a moment of weakness you fail in your resolve,
do not think that signifies that you have no will power,
and that you must go on in the old way. It was Confucius who said: "Not in never falling do we show
our strength, but in the ability to rise and go on to the
goal."
We all stumble and fall in pursuit of our ideals, but
that does not prove that our ideals are worthless, or
that we will not attain to them in time.
Try and take a half hour or an hour alone with
yourself each day this year. Sit down very quietly
and think of the worthy and unselfish things you would
like to do, and believe you are to be shown the way
to do them. Ask for light and guidance, and it will be
given. Breathe deep breaths, filling every lung cell.
Physical, mental and spiritual power will result.
Start the New Year with a resolve to be kind.
Those are small words, but they have vast meaning.
Perhaps you may imagine you are always kind
now, but if you watch yourself for an entire day you
will find how difficult it is to be really kind --- to treat
each human being and animal as you would wish to
be treated.
We all talk loudly of the need of the churches to
establish a religion of brotherhood in the world, but
what are we doing toward it ourselves?
