1. \William James said that the greatest discovery of the
19th century was the power of the subconscious mind
touched by faith.
2. There is tremendous power within you. Happiness will
come to you when you acquire a sublime confidence in
this power. Then, you will make your dreams come true.
3. You can rise victorious over any defeat and realize the
cherished desires of your heart through the marvelous
power of your subconscious mind. This is the meaning
of Whosoever trusteth in the Lord [spiritual laws of the
subconscious mind], happy is he.
4. You must choose happiness. Happiness is a habit. It is a
good habit to ponder often on Whatsoever things are true,
whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever
things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are
of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise,
think on these things. PHIL. 4:8.
5. When you open your eyes in the morning, say to yourself, I
choose happiness today. I choose success today. I choose
right action today. I choose love and good will for all
today. I choose peace today. Pour life, love; and interest
into this affirmation, and you have chosen happiness.
6. Give thanks for all your blessings several times a day.
Furthermore, pray for the peace; happiness, and prosperity of all members of your family, your associates,
and all people everywhere.
7. You must sincerely desire to be happy. Nothing is
accomplished without desire. Desire is a wish with wings
of Imagination and faith. Imagine the fulfillment of
your desire, and feel its reality, and it will come to pass.
Happiness comes in answered prayer
8. By constantly dwelling on thoughts of fear, worry, anger,
hate, and failure, you will become very depressed and
unhappy. Remember, your life is what your thoughts
make of it.
9. You cannot buy happiness with all the money in the
world. Some millionaires are very happy, some are very
unhappy. Many people with very little worldly goods are
very happy, and some are very unhappy. Some married
people are happy, and some very unhappy. Some single
people are happy, and some are very unhappy. The
kingdom of happiness is in your thought and feeling.
10. Happiness is the harvest of a quiet mind. Anchor your
thoughts on peace, poise, security, and divine guidance,
and your mind will be productive of happiness.
11. There is no block to your happiness. External things are
not causative, these are effects, not cause. Take your cue
from the only creative principle within you. Your thought
is cause, and a new cause produces a new effect. Choose
happiness.
12. The happiest man is he who brings forth the highest and
the best is him. God is the highest and the best in him,
for the kingdom of God is within.
