I say courage, I think, I act courage.

2. Courage is my distinct and leading trait. Everyone knows me
as a man of Indomitable courage. The criticisms and opinions of others
cannot affect me the least.

3. I am part of the Divine Self. I harm none. My nature knows
no harm. Hence no harm comes to me.

4. I am equal to anything. Nothing can crush my spirit. I can
face everything. I can face everybody.

5. My powers of resistance are strong, strong, strong. I use them
never for the aggression of others. They are for my self-defence.

6. I am absolutely fearless morally and physically.

7. I stand for absolute truthfulness and justice and manifest them
in myself.

8. Work with this affirmation. Strongly implant it in your mind.
The use of strong, positive Affirmation in the Silence is valuable in
that it gives you a firm hold of your thought so that you can "carry the
thought" mentally. The value of expressing thought in act and speech lies
in this that it clinches your thought into a permanent habit. Remember
this psychologic axiom: 1. Thoughts take form in action. 2. Action
induces thought and corresponding habits. Therefore act out the part
physically. If you want a courageous mind--"act out" the part physically,
in your daily life, on suitable occasions, in all earnestness as you
would in a theatre or drama. In a very short time it shall become a
confirmed habit. Force yourself to it. Take an interest in what you do
and say. Have confident expectations of SUCCESS. Never be daunted and
cowed down by initial difficulties and failures. Never say die. If you
go down--don't remain lying and moaning. Never, I say, never. Get up.
Shake yourself up free and say, like the royal lion "Come one, come all,
this rock shall fly sooner from its base than I." Have a will of your
own and be a force for good. Exercise your Will-power. Be something.
Do something.

LOVE FOR HUMANITY, ENERGY, ASPIRATION, SELF-ESTEEM.

I cannot too strongly emphasise the difference between Self-Esteem
and Self-Conceit. I wish to drive and thoroughly pound this difference
into your brain. Self-Esteem is decidedly a manly trait. It is based
upon a conviction of the Kingship of God and the Sonship of Man. Man
is a dignified being with divine attributes. He should not disgrace his
Maker by crawling on the ground. This is Self-Esteem. Self-Esteem
does not lower itself. It never lowers others. You shall never see a
leader of mankind without tremendous f
