"How To Develop Positive Thinking, Right and Wrong Thinking & Their Results..."

43 of 251
Suppose a frightened horse has escaped from his driver and is running toward a little child at play in the street.

Several persons see the impending accident. One of these, with vivid imagination, but not directing his mental actions at all, pictures to himself all the horrors that may happen and is paralyzed by fear.

Another thinks only of himself and his own peril and stands still or removes himself beyond all possible danger.

Yet another throws his arms about, gesticulating wildly, perhaps screams.

All he does arises from his own mental distraction and adds to the confusion and consternation already in progress.

Had another of those present been so absorbed in other affairs that he did not see the runaway horse, he would not have been disturbed by it, nor would he have taken any action in relation to it.

Another, seeing exactly the same that the others see, is actuated by an entirely different line of thinking.

"Quick as thought," he estimates the distance and speed of the horse, his own possible speed and his distance from the child, decides there is a chance for successful action, springs to the rescue, and snatches the child from danger.

In the illustration we have

(1) the external suggestive incident of the runaway horse,

(2) the thinking of each person, and

(3) his consequent bodily action.

There is no more fitting counsel for the close of this book than is contained in the following words from The School of Life, by William R. Alger: --

"And now there is one more lesson for us to learn, the climax of all the rest; namely, to make a personal application to ourselves of everything which we know. Unless we master this lesson, and act on it, the other lessons are virtually useless, and thus robbed of their essential glory. The only living end or aim of everything we experience, of every truth we are taught, is the practical use we make of it for the enrichment of the soul, the attuning of the thoughts and passions, the exaltation of life. . . . When we do what we know, then first does it put on vital lustre and become divinely precious."
