Do not begin the New Year by mentioning to yourself or others
all your losses and sorrows. You must let the past go...
If a good friend gave you a present (say a nice new pair
of shoes) would you insult her by throwing them aside and
describing all the beautiful pairs of shoes you have had
and already worn out in the past?
The New Year has given you the structure and material for a
fresh start in life, why dwell upon the events which have
already long gone, as the saying goes
“let bygones be bygones”.
A "bygone" is something which has already happened; the time
when it happened has "gone by".
Do Not Tell Me It Is Too Late To Be Successful Or Happy
Do not tell me you are sick or broken in spirit; the spirit
cannot be sick or broken, because it is of energy.
Forget about all the money you may have lost, the mistakes
you have made, the injuries you have received, the
disappointments you have experienced...
It is unreasonable and untrue to imagine destiny has
selected you for any special kind of suffering. Say to
yourself with the beginning of this year that you are
going to consider all your troubles as an education for
your mind and that you are going to use them as lessons
with witch to learn from.
Do Not Tell Me You Are Too Old
Age is all imagination. Ignore years and they will ignore
you. Eat moderately. Exercise thoroughly and regularly.
Be alive, from tip to toe. Breathe deeply, filling every
cell of the lungs for at least five minutes, morning and
night, and when you draw in long, full breaths, believe
you are inhaling health, wisdom, success and courage.
Anticipate good health. If it does not come at once,
consider it a mere temporary delay, and continue to
expect it.
If you will study your own mind and its limitless powers,
you will gain a secret which shall give you whatever you
desire.
Think of your body as the silver jewel box, your mind as
the silver lining, your spirit as the gem. Keep the box
polished and clear of dust, but remember always that the
jewel within is the precious part of it.
Think of yourself as arriving just at the entrance or
gate of never-ending success. A full, clear and
glorious year lies right before you...
In a year you can gain health, fortune, calmness
and happiness!
