COMITTMENT
Today I Will begin a new Life !

Mine

I shed my old self

which has for too long suffered
the bruises of failure

and the wounds of half-hearted effort.


I will follow wisdom learned

from the events of my Life.

I will follow my Inner Guide !


As I recognize my oneness with humanity,

I also see my right to enjoy the many good things

presented to me each day !

Be it perceived calamity or fortunate windfall

I will savor the taste of my experience

And value the blessing within.


The Life path I walk is filled

with opportunity and hazards.

My goal is to be ever alert,

and to select the finest of Lifes' opportunities.

I will be steadfast in my place

with Christ Consciousness.

Ask, and I will receive.
Seek and I will find.
Knock and it will be opened.

I Will Not Fail !

I claim the power and help of

the Divine Spirit within me.

and We Will Not Fail !


Failure no longer is an acceptable payment

for my struggle, suffering and pain !

Failure is now alien to my Life !

SETBACKS
I may need to accept setbacks,

they are part of my learning, but I do not accept

the destruction of my efforts, hopes and aspirations

through "perceived" failure.


Though life seems so short,

and what is to be accomplished seems so great;

I will walk my path in patience.

Great things take time to sprout and blossom.


I accept the walk in patience as the path to success.
I understand oneness with My Inner Guide

leads to Internal Peace,

and Peace is key on my path to personal fulfillment.


I admit, though I may often act contrary,

that too often I do not currently possess
all the knowledge and experience necessary to achieve my goal.

I will therefore ASK for help when I need it.

I have already stumbled too many times in arrogance

or drowned in pools of self pity.

I reject this extreme behavior, and cast it from my life.

OPPORTUNITIES
"Nature", The Divine's tool in our growth,

has provided me with innate knowledge.

Any lack of experience on my part will be turned to advantage for me.

I will see situations as others have not.
I will apply the teachings I have been given,

and the apply Spiritual Power available
to have the impossible accomplished THROUGH ME !

It is not my own greatness I seek,

but the joy in experiencing the wonderful things

which will be done through my Personal Being and Life.

HABITS
The difference between those who fail and those who succeed;
.... lies in the difference of their HABITS !

Things and objects I can not possess.
Only principles and wisdom are mine to claim.
The principles and wisdom I have learned of Life

and those offered within this course

are tools to help me prevent losing sight of my goals

and falling into failure.

I will take care of these new tools.

Good habits are the hidden pathway to success.
Bad habits; the stumblingblock to failure.

I will form good habits, and become their dedicated student !

As a child I was naturally a slave to my impulses.

So that I needed constant supervision from my parents.

Then as I grew, I became slave to

many habits (good and bad) as all grown people do.


The past deeds of my life,

the many poor and misplaced habits that I have developed,

already have marked out a path that threatens to imprison my future.

My daily actions, like the actions of others, are mostly ruled by:

Desire, Resentment, Love and Fear.

I desire to be ruled

by a heart of Love,

and a mind of Wisdom !


Yet resentment and fear

seem too often to command my mind.


I know I will be ruled by Habits !

Humans are creatures of habit !

Therefore, if I am to be ruled by habits,

I Will be ruled by Good Habits.


I will spot the oncoming of my bad habits and

Pause....

I will confidently pray and be delivered from them.

Then I will accept whatever comes from

The inner struggle of good ond evil.

DEDICATION
I will replace my bad habits with good ones !
This course can help me do this.

With each reading of this Chapter

I will select and drive a bad habit from my life

and replace it with a good one.

This will bring me ever closer to success.

I will read this chapter once each week for a full month.

As I repeat the words of each chapter

they soon become part of my Active Mind.

More importantly they seep into

and become a part of my Sublime Mind.

This mysterious yet most powerful part of me

that never sleeps,

and so often makes me act in ways that I can not comprehend.


As the truths of each chapter are absorbed by my sublime mind,

I will begin to awake !

My daily energy will increase,

and my enthusiasm will rise.

My desire to meet the world and the challenges of life

will overcome the fear that kept me so paralyzed.


The new Hope this will instill in me,

will overcome the worry

that kept me from sleep at night,

and made me tired when I was to rise in the morning.

Soon I will find myself fearless in the face of trouble,

doing what must be done,

and reacting to situations that confront me

as I have learned through my Inner Voice of Wisdom .

I will be happier than I ever believed possible

Soon also these reactions will be easy to perform.

I hereby make myself a solemn oath:

That I will not quit on myself in this new growth.

To lose a day,

to risk breaking the habit;

IS NOT ACCEPTABLE !

I will not deter from this practice of reading !


As I read and re-read the words of each chapter,

I will not allow their simplicity or brevity

to cause me to dismiss their importance or value.


Today, my old life is as dust !

I cast it off !
