OW can one learn to develop the highest ideals of life when the mind is constantly filled with
fear and doubt ?
During business hours a man's mind to a certain extent is occupied. When night
comes and the grind of business is over, then the worries ot the day frequently assume exag-
gerated lorms, for it is a curious fact that everything that is disagreeable takes on a mountainous
shape during the hours of sleeplessness.
The little things which simply annoy during the day ofttimes prevent slumber at night. In
fact, things which are so infinitesimal that they would provoke a laugh during working hours have
grown into colossal forms during the stilly hours.
The imagination is extreme!)' active, because all the objective processes are shut out of the mind
and it pictures evil with great vividness and sharpness of outline.
It shows after all how fear clings to us.
1 know one man who tells me that ever)- night before retiring he throws open the windows,
inhales the fresh air from outside and thanks (iod that he is alive and has no enemies, because whether
he has them or not lie says that ever)- night before he goes to bed he is at absolute peace with the
world, and as a result lie affirms that he sleeps as peacefully as a child.
The effect of fear and anxiety is to dry up the very sources of life, whereas healthful optimism
has just the opposite effect upon the body and brain.
Jt enlarges and builds up nature—causes abundant life cells—increasing brain power—hence
increasing the possibilities for successful business accomplishments.
I know men who go through life evidently carrying upon their shoulders the weight of Atlas.
Their very expression denotes that, and they are always expecting something horrible to
happen.
Now, such a mental condition is fatal to achievement of any kind.
Such a condition is too depressing, and when it becomes habitual—look out. .
The unfortunate individual who gets into such a rut is pretty sure to be avoided by healthy
humanity and his business place is not sought by the purchasing multitudes.
lie is an unpleasant man to work for or with and his temperament is rellected in his trade.
He comes pretty near being a failure.
