Do you feel that your life lacks purpose, that you are limited in opportunity for self expression, that success has passed you by? If you do, you can change this feeling by changing your thinking. As you begin to think of yourself as a child of God, endowed with Di vine ability, as you give ex pression to the God-given pow ers you posses, new opportuni ties will open before you, and you will find your way joyous and successful. God has given you the power that brings success...this power is the power of thought. You can focus your attention on God and think thoughts that are con ducive to successful living. Each day spend a definite time in prayer, and train your mind in constructive thinking. Prac tice thinking thoughts of hap piness, joy, and success--posi tive thinking—and you will in vite opportunities for self-ex pression and success in your life. By reserving a time each day for prayerful “conversa tion” with the Father, you are setting your feet firmly on the road to your highest good. Be cause of vour Increased aware ness of God’s presence and love and wisdom, you remain posed, confident and undisturbed through every experience. All things are good and beau tiful to the eyes that look only for the good and beautiful. We see what we seek to see, and if we practice looking for Ix-au ty everywhere we shall see only beauty everywhere, for that is the only thing we are tuned in to accept. God's spirit fills the universe and where His spirit is, there is beauty.
