There is no need to be unhappy. There is no need to be disappointed, or oppressed, or aggrieved. There is no need for illness or failure or discouragement. There is no necessity for anything but an abounding interest and joy in life.
As long as you accept a negative condition at its own valuation, so long will you remain in bondage to it; but you have only to assert your birthright as a free man or woman and you will be free.
Success and happiness are the natural conditions of mankind. It is actually easier to demonstrate these things than the reverse. Bad habits of thinking and acting may obscure this fact for a time, just as a wrong way of walking or sitting, or holding a pen, or musical instrument may seem to be easier than the proper way, because we have accustomed ourselves to it; but the proper way is the easier nevertheless.
Unhappiness, frustration, poverty, loneliness are really bad habits that their victims have become accustomed to bear, believing that there is no way out, whereas there is a way; and that way is simply to acquire good habits of working with the Law instead of against it.
Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy Law (Psalm 119:18).
The only person responsible for our happiness or unhappiness is us. Tough truth to face, especially when the actions of others can contribute so much to the outer conditions which plague us. However, the truth is always true; and the truth is, we are in control of how we react to negative circumstances. The other truth is that most of our negativity comes from within, not from without.
Let us examine ourselves carefully and honestly to determine how much we ourselves allow and engender the negative thoughts, circumstances and actions that deny our birthright to be happy and free.
Opening these eyes,
