So what are the common fears we subject ourselves to :-

• Poverty or loss
• Criticism or disapproval
• Ill health
• Being taken advantage of
• Failure and rejection

It is a sad reflection on our society that, despite the opportunities for abundance and happiness that exist today more so than ever before in the history of
mankind, so many are trapped in thoughts tinged with fear.

We know that like energy attracts like energy in the form of circumstances and people. It follows that the more you desire or fear something, the more likely
you are to attract it into your life. An emotionless thought has no power to influence you one way or the other. An emotionless thought causes frustration and
unhappiness. When you have clarity of thought, positive or negative, accompanied by an intense emotion of either fear or desire, you set the wheels of energy
in motion to attract whatever it is toward you.

Can you see why it is so important for you to keep your thoughts on the things you want and replace the thoughts of what you fear with more constructive
thoughts?

The happiest most successful men and women are aware of the power of their thoughts and they are very conscious about keeping them positive and
constructive. Your mind is such a powerful tool that you must control it with great discipline for it to consistently move you in the direction you want
to go.

Changing the way you think is not easy. It may be the hardest thing you ever do, but it will be the most valuable. Once you have made the firm choice to do
something more important and valuable with your life, to achieve your own ideal of personal happiness, you absolutely must go to work on changing the way
you think.

EMOTIONS AND THE YOUNG

Imagine what our school systems would be like if we placed the same degree of importance emotional well being as we do on intellectual competency. When
we arrive at the stage of human development when our children understand how to express a full range of emotions such as fear, anger, peace, sadness,
excitement, and joy, they will learn at a much earlier point, how to express emotional truth, and how to develop good communication skills for healthy
relationships. Our children would be so much better equipped to live full, satisfying lives, rich in experience with skills to handle the ups and downs that come
our way in this life. Page131
