You are God’s good person, and you alone can decide whether your
personality will be happy and whole, dynamic and creative, attractive or
repulsive. You alone hold the golden key to a larger life. You hold it in your
hand, but you cannot use this key until you first consciously connect yourself
with that “something” greater than you are. This doesn’t mean that you are
going to get lost or become submerged in a dream or a fantasy. It means that
you are going to learn to live and think and act from the feeling that there is
a limitless power behind everything you do—a power for good.
Somewhere in you is the same imagination that wrote every book
ever written, the same creative genius who invented everything that makes
modern life comfortable, the great artist who painted all the pictures, the
composer who wrote all the songs. The very dance of life itself is in
everything God ever made, and it is in you.
You may ask, “How am I going to bring all this out? How am I
going to bring it to the surface? How am I going to become that wonderful,
dynamic personality that I would like to be?” Perhaps the best way to begin is
not to try to be so wonderful or so dynamic. Don’t strain. Don’t wear a mask.
Don’t try to be anyone but yourself. All imitation is suicide. You are you, and
you are real. Coming to know the real you is not so much something you develop
or create or compel as it is something you discover.
Your first step, then, is as simple as this: Hook up your
personality, your physical body, your environment and everything you do, say
and think with what you really are—an individual living in pure Spirit here and
now.
God didn’t make a mistake when God created you, when God
implanted God’s own being in your life and breathed into you the breath of life
itself. God made you to be happy and whole, complete and contented. You may
start, then, by believing that at the center of your being there is a real
person, a lovable person, a creative person. This should not be done with
conceit or arrogance, but with the utmost simplicity. You must become
acquainted with yourself. You must come to know that the real you is lovable,
kind, happy and whole, and of course you can’t do this unless you believe the
same thing about everyone else.
