Attainment of Joy is Possible

Here's a poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox. She was very famous in the late 1800's, early 1900's for her poetry. Heads of state would carry with them her little books of wisdom. She couldn't have said it better about how we do have the power to attain the joy we so desire. Enjoy these words of this great poet.

Attainment

Use all your hidden forces,

Do not miss the purpose of this life, and do not wait

For circumstances to mould or change your fate;

In your own self lies Destiny,

Let this vast truth cast out all fear, all prejudice,

All hesitation, and

Know that you are great.

So dominate environment, and enter into bliss.

Love largely, and hate nothing.

Hold no aim that does not chord with universal good.

Hear what the voices of silence say--

All joys are yours if you put forth your claim.

Once let the spiritual laws be understood,

Material things must answer and obey.

Get that "joy, joy, joy, joy down into your heart." Think beautiful thoughts every day. Feel them. Keep close watch over what you think and speak as if it means your life, because it DOES. Joy and happiness are yours if you do this.

God bless you,
