This is
Space Age! Explorations in outer Space are going on in leaps and bounds. Yet
problems of
individual are not that much different from those of
earlier stages of civilization. They're only more so!This is
age of exploration and expansion. Everything is expanding at a tremendous rate, including
expansion of our intellect and our experience.
In order to keep pace with this rapid growth, it seems to me that our greatest need is not so much
exploration of Outer Space, but rather that of our inner space. Yes, we need to take total control of our minds, thereby controlling our destinies.
Donald Curtis in his early book, "Your Thoughts can Change Your Life" suggests 12 steps you can take towards integrating your whole being and accomplishing what you want from life. The following ten steps have been adapted from his ideas.
1. RELAXATION. Relaxation is
starting point for harmonious living . There's no limit to
healing power of
forces within if we learn to relax.
2. EXPECTATION. Expectancy in our minds is
cause of everything that happens to us in our lives - both GOOD and BAD. So we must expect
best!. Our attitude must be "Something wonderful is About to Happen!"
3. RECOGNITION. We must recognize
Indwelling Power. Those of us who believe in God recognize Him in this power - but others may call it
Universal Power,
Higher Power, Energy.. The name doesn't matter, because it's always there for our use.
