WE BUILD OUR HEAVENS THOUGHT BY THOUGHT.If you are dwelling upon the dark phases of your destiny and upon the ungracious acts of Fate, you are shaping more of the same experience for yourself here and in realms beyond.
You are making happiness impossible for yourself upon any plane. In your own self lies Destiny.
I have known a woman to keep her entire family despondent for years by her continual assertions that she was out of her sphere, misunderstood and unappreciated.
The minds of sensitive children accepted these statements and grieved over "Poor Mother's" sad life until their own youth was embittered. The morbid mother seized upon the sympathies of her children like a leech and sapped their young lives of joy.
The husband grew discouraged and indifferent under the continual strain, and what might have been a happy home was a desolate one, and its memory is a nightmare to the children to-day.
Understand yourself and your Divine possibilities and you will cease to think you are misunderstood.
It is not possible to misunderstand a beautiful, sunny day. All nature rejoices in its loveliness.
Give love, cheerfulness, kindness and good-will to all humanity, and you need not worry about being misunderstood.
Give the best you have to each object, purpose and individual, and you will eventually receive the best from humanity.
