Exhale while you count seven. Repeat this exercise seven times.
Think as you inhale of whatever qualities you would like to possess, and believe that you are inhaling them. Select seven qualities—Love, Health, Wisdom, Usefulness, Power to Do Good, Success, Opulence—will cover the average human desires. The very unworldly will substitute spiritual knowledge for opulence. Fill your mind with the idea that you are drawing in these qualities with your breaths, and exhaling all that is weak or unworthy. After a few moments you will be conscious of a security and peace new and uplifting.
And after a few weeks of steady, persistent practice of these exercises, you will find life growing more beautiful to you, and your strength will be increased tenfold, both physically and spiritually.
Generosity
ave you ever observed how invariably your "last dollar" is restored to you, with additions, when you have given it for some worthy purpose?
Even if the purpose did not prove to be a worthy one, yet if you thought it so, and gave your last dollar with spontaneous sympathy and good will, you were not long left penniless.
Money is much like a man. If you do not hold it too jealously it returns to you the more readily.
Never hesitate to give aid where you feel there is sore and pressing need, for fear you will be left in want yourself. You will not be.
