9. ASSERTING THE LIFE FORCEI
have spoken to
you of the
advantage of getting rid of Fear. Now I
wish to put Life into you.
Many of you have been going along as if you were dead--no ambition... no energy... no vitality... no interest-- no Life. This will never do. You are stagnating. Wake up--and display a few signs of Life! This
is not the
place in which
you can stalk around like
a living corpse. This is the place for wide-awake,
active, live people--and a good,
general awakening is what is needed. Although it
would take nothing less than a blast from Gabriel's trumpet to awaken
some of the people who are stalking around--thinking that they are
alive--but who are really dead to all that makes life worthwhile.
We must let Life flow through us--and allow it to express itself, naturally. Do not let the little worries of life--or the big ones, either-- depress you and cause you to lose your vitality. Assert the Life-Force within you, and manifest it in every thought, act and deed--and before long you will be exhilarated and fairly bubbling over with vitality and energy. Put a little life into your work... into your pleasures.... Stop doing things in a half-headed way, and begin to take an interest in what you are, yourself, doing, saying and thinking. It is astonishing how much interest we may find in the ordinary things of life--if we will only wake up. There are interesting things all around us... interesting events occurring every moment. But we will not be aware of them, unless we assert our Life-Force and begin to actually live--instead of merely existing. No man or woman ever amounted to anything, unless he or she put life into the tasks of everyday life--the acts.. the thoughts. What the world needs is live men and women. Just look into the eyes of the people whom you meet--and see how few of them are really alive. Most of them lack that expression of conscious life--which distinguishes the man who lives from the one who simply exists. I want you to acquire this sense of conscious life--so that you may manifest it in your life and show what Mental Science has done for you. I want you to get to work TODAY--and begin to make yourselves over, according to the latest pattern. You
can do this--if you will only take
the proper
interest in
the task.
AFFIRMATION
AND EXERCISE:
Fix
in your mind
the thought
that the "I" within you is very
much
alive--and
that you are
manifesting Life fully--mentally
and
physically.
And keep this thought there--aiding yourself with constant repetitions of the "watchword." Don't let the thought escape you--but keep pushing it back into the Mind. Keep it before the mental vision as much as possible. Repeat the "watchword" when you awaken in the morning. Say it when you retire at night. And say it at meal times--and whenever else you can during the day-- at least once an hour. Form the mental picture of yourself as filled with Life and Energy. Live up to it--as far as possible. When you start to perform a task say, "I AM alive!" And mix up as much life as possible in the task. If you find yourself feeling depressed, say "I AM alive!" And
then take a few
deep
breaths... and with
each inhalation... let the Mind hold the thought--that
you are
breathing
in
Strength and Life.
And as you exhale... hold the thought... that you are breathing out all the old, dead, negative conditions--and are glad to get rid of them! Then
finish up with
an earnest,
vigorous affirmation:
"I AM alive!" And mean it when you say it, too. And let your thoughts take form in action. Don't
rest content
with
merely saying that you are
alive--but
prove it with your acts.
Take an interest in doing
things--and don't go around "mooning" or daydreaming.
