In scroll # 3 OG said I will persist until I succeed; if I persist long enough I will win. Each day we are tested in life. The prizes of life are at the end and we don’t know how long it will take but like the oak tree each blow seems trifle but continuous action will fall the tree. We are to ignore obstacles and persist with confidence.
Sir Winston Churchill said “never, never, never, never, never quit”
If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined he will meet with a success un expected in common hours.
Henry David Thorough
In week 11 Caanal tells us our life is governed by law. It is the dividing line between superstition and intelligence; it has eliminated the elements of uncertainty and substituted the law of certitude. Our wants and desires determine our action. We find a method, the spirit of which is to believe that what is sought has already been accomplished. We are to believe that our desire has already been fulfilled and its accomplishment will follow. We are thinking on the plane of the absolute and eliminating all consideration of conditions or limitations. It’s the law. It is like planting a seed..
Chinese Bamboo Tree
It seems that this tree when planted, watered, and nurtured for an entire growing season doesn’t outwardly grow as much as an inch. Then, after the second growing season, a season in which the farmer takes extra care to water, fertilize and care for the bamboo tree, the tree still hasn’t sprouted. So it goes as the sun rises and sets for four solid years. The farmer and his wife have nothing tangible to show for all of their labor trying to grow the tree.
Then, along comes year five.
In the fifth year that Chinese bamboo tree seed finally sprouts and the bamboo tree grows up to eighty feet in just one growing season!
Did the little tree lie dormant for four years only to grow exponentially in the fifth? Or, was the little tree growing underground, developing a root system strong enough to support its potential for outward growth in the fifth year and beyond? The answer is, of course, obvious. Had the tree not developed a strong unseen foundation it could not have sustained its life as it grew. The same principle is true for people. People, who patiently toil towards worthwhile dreams and goals, building strong character while overcoming adversity and challenge, grow the strong internal foundation to handle success.
The greatest discovery is the power of thought. Wow! The bible tells us whatsoever things ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them and ye shall have them..
