Center Your Power

"There are two mental attitudes a person may take.

One makes him like a football. It has resilience and reacts strongly when force is applied to it, but it originates nothing; it never acts of itself. There is no power within it. People of this type are controlled by circumstances and environment. Their destinies are decided by things external to themselves. The Principle of Power within them is never really active at all. They never speak from within.

The other attitude makes a person like a flowing spring. Power comes out of the center of them. They have within them a well of water springing up into everlasting life. They radiate force; They are felt by their environment. The Principle of Power in them is in constant action. They are self-active. 'He hath life in himself.'"
