Serenity, Calmness and Prosperity

Serenity, Calmness and Prosperity

This is a very nifty chapter you might enjoy reviewing; I find it calming, relaxing; it helps regain

self-composure and serenity maybe because for me it works you might say as a reminder of modulating

my own voice whenever I feel like it has fallen a bit in the quality I like and find must useful with doing

business. Some times you might need a pretty soothing, very cool, calm and collected

voice. One that is neither too high pitch, nor dull; on other occasions you may find

it more useful to use a deeper and stern voice tone, depending on the nature of the

conversation.

“SERENITY

Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom. It is the result

of long and patient effort in self-control. Its presence is an indication of ripened

experience, and of a more than ordinary knowledge of the laws and oper_

ations of thought. A man becomes calm in the measure that he understands

himself as a thought evolved being, for such knowledge necessitates the

understanding of others as the result of thought, and as he develops a right

understanding, and sees more and more clearly the internal relations of things

by the action of cause and effect he ceases to fuss and fume and worry and

grieve, and remains poised (well-composed with self-control enthusiasm,

peaceful with self-controlled enthusiasm), steadfast, serene.

The calm man, having learned how to govern himself, knows how to

adapt himself to others; and they, in turn, reverence his spiritual strength,

and feel that they can learn of him and rely upon him. The more tranquil a

man becomes, the greater is his success, his influence, his power for good.

Even the ordinary trader will find his business prosperity increase as he dev-

elops a greater self-control and equanimity, for people will always prefer to

deal with a man whose demeanor is strongly equable.

The strong, calm man is always loved and revered. He is like a shade-giving tree in a thirsty land, or a sheltering rock in a storm. "Who does not love a tranquil heart, a sweet-tempered, balanced life? It does not matter whether it rains or shines, or what changes come to those possessing these blessings, for they are always sweet, serene, and calm. That exquisite poise of character, which we call serenity is the last lesson of culture, the fruitage of the soul. It is precious as wisdom, more to be desired than gold--yea, than even fine gold. How insignificant mere money seeking looks in comparison with a serene life--a life that dwells in the ocean of truth, beneath the waves, beyond the reach of tempests, in the Eternal Calm.

"How many people we know who sour their lives, who ruin all that is sweet and beautiful by explosive tempers, who destroy their poise of character, and make bad blood. It is a question whether the great majority of people do not ruin their lives and mar their happiness by lack of self-control. How few people we meet in life who are well balanced, who have that exquisite well-composed enthusiasm which is characteristic of the refined character.

Yes, humanity surges with uncontrolled passion, is tumultuous with un-

governed grief, is blown about by anxiety and doubt only the wise man, only

he whose thoughts are controlled and purified, makes the winds and the

storms of the soul obey him. Tempest-tossed souls, wherever ye may be,

under whatsoever conditions ye may live, know this in the ocean of life the

isles of blessedness are smiling, and the sunny shore of your ideal awaits

your coming. Keep your hand firmly upon the helm of thought. In the bark of

your soul reclines the commanding Master; He does but sleep: wake Him.

Self-control is strength; right thought is mastery; calmness is power. Say unto

your heart, "Peace, be still” --As A Man Thinketh by James Allen; Broad Park

Avenue, IIfracombe, England; Printed in the United States of America--.
