Let us discuss three steps to success: The first step to
success is to find out the thing you love to do, then do it. Success
is in loving your work. Although, if a man is a psychiatrist,à
is not adequate for him to get a diploma and place it on the
wall; he must keep up with the times, attend conventions, and
continue studying the mind and its workings. The successf
psychiatrist visits clinics and reads the latest scientific articks
In other words, he is informed in the most advanced metho
of alleviating human suffering. The successful psychiatrist
doctor must have the interest of his patients at heart Some may say, as “How can I
not know what I should do.” In such a case, pray for guidance
follows: “The infinite intelligence of my subconscious
mind reveals to me my true place in life.” Repeat this p
quietly, positively, and lovingly to your deeper mind. As you
persist with faith and confidence, the answer will come to you
– put the first step into operation? I do as a prayer
feeling, a hunch, or a tendency in a certain direction. It
I will come to you clearly and in peace, and as an inner silent
awareness.
The second step to success is to specialize in some particular
branch of work and know more about it than anyone else. For
example, if a young man chooses chemistry as his profession,
he should concentrate on one of the many branches in this
field. He should give all of his time and attention to his chosen
specialty. He should become sufficiently enthusiastic to try to
know all there is available about his field; if possible, he should
know more than anyone else. The young man should become
ardently interested in his work and should desire to serve the
world. He that is greatest among you, let him become your servant.
There is a great contrast in this attitude of mind in comparison
to that of the man who only wants to make a living or just “get
by.” “Getting by” is not true success.
Man’s motive must be greater, nobler, and more altruistic.
He must serve others, thereby casting his bread upon the
waters.
The third step is the most important one. You must be
sure that the thing you want to do does not redound to your
success only. Your desire must not be selfish; it must benefit
humanity. The path of a complete circuit must be formed.
In other words, your idea must go forth with the purpose of
blessing or serving the world. It will then come back to you
pressed down, shaken together, and running over. If it is to benefit yourself exclusively, the circle or complete circuit is
not formed, and you may experience a short circuit in
which may consist of limitation peace or sickness.
