You have only to consider how to use the power you have in the
right way. And there is nothing to do but to begin. Use your
perception of truth; you can see so me truth today; live fully
up to that and you will see more truth tomorrow.
To rid yourself of the old false ideas you will have to think a
great deal about the value of men-the greatness and worth of a
human soul. You must cease from looking at human mistakes and
look at successes; cease from seeing faults and see virtues.
You can no longer look upon men and women as lost and ruined
beings that are descending into hell; you must come to regard
them as shining souls who are ascending toward heaven. It will
require some exercise of will power to do this, but this is the
legitimate use of the will-to decide what you will thin k about
and how you will think.
The function of the will is to direct thought. Think about the
good side of men; the lovely, attractive part, and exert your
will in refusing to think of anything else in connection with
them.
