These two words are among the most potent ones in our language. Gloom creates a mental structure which prevents the flow of constructive thoughts.
Think of the times when you were gloomy and sad. Were you inspired to do big things? Did you conceive any ideas which could add to your prosperity? Did you feel ambitious to blaze new trails? The answer to all of these questions is, of course, no.
Think of the times when you were exuberant, when every fiber of your being was scintillating with joy. Didn't you have the urge to go places and do things? Projects which under normal conditions might appear laborious to perform seemed like nothing at all.
Be happy! If you have problems (and who hasn't?) be happy that with the knowledge you have gained, you can master them instead of being mastered by them.
"How can I be happy with all the worries I have?" we often hear. Since gloom can do nothing except block your road to freedom, doesn't it behoove one to use his ingenuity in finding ways of becoming happy?
Read the newspapers and see how many stories there are about people who would be happy to be in your position. You'll soon be able to understand how well off you are. Then it will not be hard to let the sunshine of happiness show through so that
you can begin thinking in terms of things to do to solve your problems instead of permitting them to hold you back.
In the next chapter you will learn something new about money. But make certain
you have fully grasped all the valuable thoughts contained in this one. Wouldn't
it pay you to read it again before continuing?
