This common form of fear drives us so hard that we overwork our bodies and bring on the very thing we are struggling to avoid.
What a tragedy to watch men and women drive themselves when they begin to arrive at the forty year milepost of life the age at which they are just beginning to mature mentally. At forty we are just entering the age in which we are able to see and understand the handwriting of nature, as it appears in the forests and flowing brooks and faces of other adults and little children. Yet this devil fear drives us to the point that we become blinded and lost in the entanglement of a maze of conflicting desires.
The principle of organized effort is lost sight of, and instead of taking hold of nature's forces that are evidence all around us and permitting those forces to carry us to the heights of great achievement, we defy them and they become forces of destruction.
The power of self confidence
Ignorance of this force is leading the majority of people to apply it so that it acts as a hindrance and not as a help.
Being forced to work, and forced to do your best, will breed in you temperance and self control and strength of will and context and a hundred other virtues which the idle will never know.
Not only does lack of necessity for struggle lead to weakness of ambition and willpower, but what is more dangerous still, it sets up in a person's mind a state of lethargy that leads to the loss of self confidence.
The person who has quit struggling because effort is no longer necessary is literally applying the principle of autosuggestion, undermining his or her own power of self confidence. Such a person will finally drift into a frame of mind in which he or she will actually look with contempt upon the person who is forced to carry on.
The human mind if you will pardon the repetition, may be likened to an electric battery. It may be positive or negative. Self confidence is the quality with which the mind is recharged and made positive.
Success is the result of intelligent effort and does not depend upon luck.
Success is always the result of conscientious and efficient effort.
No man can become a great leader of men unless he has the milk of human kindness in his own heart, and leads by suggestion and kindness, rather than by force.
Nothing can bring you peace but yourself nothing can bring you success but yourself. of course you will need the cooperation of others if your aim is success of a far-reaching nature, but you will never get that cooperation without the positive attitude of self confidence.
The one who advances believes in themselves, and backs their belief with such dynamic, aggressive action that others can recognize it in them, self confidence is contagious; it is impelling; it is persuasive; it attracts others.
