Do not permit people to take advantage of you and gain
their point by temper tantrums, crying jags, or so-called heart
attacks. These people are dictators who try to enslave you and
make you do their bidding. Be firm but kind, and refuse to
yield. Appeasement never wins. Refuse to contribute to their
delinquency, selfishness, and possessiveness.
Remember, do that which is right. You are here to fulfill
your ideal and remain true to the eternal verities and spiritual
values of life which are eternal. Give no one in all the world the
power to deflect you from your goal, your aim in life which is
to express your hidden talents to the world, to serve humanity,
and to reveal more and more of God’s wisdom, truth, and
beauty to all people in the world. Remain true to your ideal. Know definitely and absolutely that whatever contributes to
your peace, happiness, and fulfillment must of necessity bless
all men who walk the earth. The harmony of the part is the
harmony of the whole, for the whole is in the part, and the
part is in the whole. All you owe the other, as Paul says, is love,
and love is the fulfilling of the law of health, happiness, and
peace of mind.
