A life that is lived with fullness of peace of mind, contentment, and happiness always divests itself of everything it does not want.
Says the devil: "Anyone who submits to annoyance by things he does not want is not definite. He is a drifter."
Minds which do not harmonize should never be forced to remain together in marriage or any other relationship. Friction and all forms of discord between minds lead inevitably to the habit of drifting, and of course to indefiniteness.
The first duty of every human being is to himself. Every person owes himself the duty of finding how to live a full and happy life. Beyond this, if one has time and energy not needed in the fulfillment of his own desires, one may assume responsibility for helping others.
Unearned gifts of every nature may become a curse instead of a blessing. In our effort to give to our children, are we really cursing them? A very sobering thought, but also great advice, for parents.
Says the devil: "The sort of prayer against which I am helpless is the prayer of definiteness of purpose."
One form of prayer is negative and only negative results. One form is positive and brings definite, positive results.
People who whine and beg God to assume for all their troubles and provide them with all the necessities and luxuries of life are too lazy to create what they want and translate it into existence through the power of their own minds.
When you hear a person praying for something that should procure through his own efforts, you may be sure you are listening to a drifter. Nature's law is, "Know what you want, adapt yourself to my laws, and you shall have it."
Says the devil: "Children are sent to school to make credits and learn how to memorize, not to learn what they want of life."
