We have known of many cases where present failure was simply the prelude to a greater success. Sometimes the accumulated thoughts of failure and sorrow or in harmony have been swept away by flood or fire or bankruptcy only to sweep the mind clean for higher attainment. Thousands have thus begun at the bottom only to climb still higher in the new work. To fear failure will not help. Have faith. This is the one great essential. Have faith in yourself. Have faith in others. Have faith in the future. Have faith in God. Courage and faith are half the battle. Determination, will, and work are the other half.
You can if you think you can. I know I can succeed and I will succeed. I AM success. I AM courage. I AM faith. I AM the victory. Faith is the victory that overcomes the world, and I have all the faith there is. Then concentrate your thought for a moment on the positive thing you want. Make up your mind that you will have the best and the best only. If you do not know now just what course to follow, there is a Mind in you that does. Depend on it. Resolve to be lead by the Divine Wisdom that speaks through you. Step out in faith on the new venture for health, wealth, or love and expect great things. The spirit in you will soon lead you into the best.
