What do you have in yourself?
| 2 Kings 4:3 |
Your handmaid hath not any thing in the house (has
nothing inside), save a pot of oil (Image
of the Holy Spirit). |
| Matthew 23:26 |
Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the
cup and of the platter, that the outside thereof may become clean also. |
| Luke 11:40 |
Ye foolish ones, did not he that made the outside
make the inside also? |
It is what you are, what you have in you what counts. It is
the undeveloped resources in your mind, in your spirit, in that inward man that
counts. It is the developing of the writer, the thinker, the teacher, the
inventor, the leader, the business manager that is hidden deep in you that is
important for your success.
I venture that every one of you young men and women who read this have in you
one of these abilities. There may be an untrained voice, untrained musical
abilities lying hidden under the careless, thoughtless exterior.
Let us go down with a flashlight and look over the untouched treasures that are
stored away inside, that have never been touched, never been used. Then let us
bring the thing up that we find and make it worth while; give it a commercial
value.
Remember that everything that goes toward making you a success is inside of you.
The thing that makes opportunities, that makes money, that saves money, that
creates new things, that brings together things that others have created but
were unable to utilize, is inside of you. Find it and make it work.
It is going to require a boss who is utterly heartless to rule over you. That
boss too is inside of you. There is a slave driver in there whom you must bring
out. Put the whip in his hand and tell him to go to it and make you a
success. There is something in you that can take these dreams of yours and
make blue prints of them, and then can change the blue prints into buildings.
It is there. That ability is there. No one else but you can train it. No one
else but you can develop it. Someone else may set it on fire, but you can quench
the fire by refusing to act. Remember that
 | you must use the suggestions that come; |
| you must rise up and put the thing over. |
| You must drive yourself, for no one else can do it. |
Put yourself on a mental diet, not a diet of idle dreams nor
idle fancies, but a diet of real mental work. Be mentally awake, diligent.
Put your best into every day. Make up your day of saved moments, hours.
You are out to win. You are out to conquer. You can do it.
It would be different if this ability was in someone else and you were trying to
awaken it. It is all in you and you are going to put it over.
