We are constantly in the midst of powerful forces.
All the forces of the system are creative.
Every word, every thought and every action
gives expression to certain life forces,
and what those forces will do
depends first upon their original nature
and second upon how they are directed in their courses.
What those forces are in the beginning
depends upon what man created them to be,
and what those forces will unitedly produce
will depend upon whether they are directed by man himself
or left to act aimlessly.
If those forces are not intelligently controlled,
their action will be aimless
and we shall have that confusion
which is otherwise termed adversity.
It is the nature of forces to do things;
they cannot be idle.
Every force that comes, comes to act.
How it is met will determine whether it is favorable or not.
When you meet a force,
you must do something with it or it will do something with you.
Whenever any force changes its vibrations
it becomes a different force.
When we place ourselves in a favorable attitude
toward all the forces that enter the system,
and learn how to direct those forces into favorable channels of construction,
every force that passes through the system will become favorable to us,
no matter where it comes from,
nor how unfavorable it has been before it enters our favorable world.
The forces about you will not obey your will
when you try to control them;
they will follow you and obey you
only when you have become stronger than they.
When you become stronger in your own conscious being
that the forces that are about you,
those forces will obey your will.
For this reason, he who has mastered himself, has mastered the universe.
