dy is a mighty fine engine of marvelous energy. Over-fed,
under-fed, over-burdened, neglected, abused, weakened, shamefully
talked about, yet year after year it goes on generating the divinest
thing in the universe--Life. It transmutes profane elements into
divine energy, washes a river of blood free of tons of poison,
supports a brain that builds and rules limitless empires, sustains a
vision that dissolves darkness into light, the unknown into the known,
upholds the image of, and is "the Temple of the Living God." Your
body is Supreme. Keep it divine. Strip your body bare and lie in the
sunshine. Let it soak deeply into the tissue, it will magnetize your
body, and renew it with youth. Take these sun-baths every sunny day
possible by lying on a couch before a large window, or even better,
out in the open air. If you want a magnetic body that is supple,
elastic and youthful give it sun-baths and air-baths daily.
=KEEP YOUR MIND SUPREME:= Your mind is limitless. You were born
to lead, not to be always led. Think for yourself. Do your own
planning. Make new plans. Train your mind to think alone. Misery is
rust on a mind that has stopped working. Train your mind to delight
people. Don't follow the crowd, but step softly among human hearts.
Train your mind to think big. Expand your mind until it encircles the
universe. Stop fussing over little things, over useless people, and
fill your mind with new ideals and fresh purpose. Stop wailing over
flowers that will never blossom on the north side of your house; go
around to the south side and make a new garden. You have a temperament
that is likely to be misunderstood; that's fine. So did Sarvonarola,
Columbus, Galileo, Luther, Whitfield, Emerson, Lincoln and Christ.
"Seven cities fought for Homer, dead, thru whose streets the living
Homer begged his bread." The reputation of Christ was just the
opposite of His character. These, stood thinking their brave thoughts
on the horizon where Truth asks you to stand. You are better than
you think; or as good. You are the sum total of your thinking. Build
thought palaces, not mud huts. Create, originate, produce new ideas.
Beware of dead monotony, it kills the brain. Unfetter your thoughts
from notions, prejudices and limitations. Think well of yourself,
think well of what you have, think well of what you do, think
invincibly, think persistently, think with unflinching resolve.
Concentration is getting at a thing, thinking it, planning
